I've been prescribed Hydrocodone 15mg ER Capsules for severe, long-lasting pain that hasn't responded to other treatments. I'm a bit nervous about the side effects, especially the more serious ones like allergic reactions or serotonin syndrome. I've heard some horror stories, but also some positive experiences. Has anyone here taken these? What was your experience like? Did you have any of the common side effects like drowsiness or constipation? How did you manage them? And how effective was the medication for your pain management? I'd love to hear any tips or advice you might have.

I've been prescribed Hydrocodone/Homatropine 5/1.5mg tablets for a persistent cough, and I'm already feeling some side effects. I know it's an opioid and can be habit-forming, but I wasn't expecting to feel this dizzy and drowsy. Is this normal? I've also been having some trouble breathing. Has anyone else had these issues? Should I be worried? I've read about the serious side effects, and I don't want to end up in the hospital. Any advice on managing these side effects or knowing when to seek help?
