they're not just gunna give that to you unless you actually are sick. when my buddy got it from a doc he was really sick, had a sore, inflamed throat and a really bad cough, he also had a fever and it was obvious that he was pretty sick.

So he had a cold.
Go with a cold and say you can't sleep at night from the cough. OTC cough medicine doesn't work. What else can I take?

say you have a dry cough and have vomited from coughing so hard
a fever and actually being sick would help
or you could just say you trying to get po'd up

Or you could just buy an opiate that's not shitty like codeine. This whole promethazine/codeine thing that the rappers are drinking is a joke. Codeine is so weak that they add the promethazine to further depress your CNS.
Save your money and go buy a couple Vicodin.

You're taking too much if hydrocodone is making you sick. If you don't have a tolerance there's no reason to take more than 20mg hydrocodone (at the most). Codeine doesn't make you sick because it barely does anything at all, that's why they sell it over the counter in most countries.
Next time you feel sick on vicodin lay down on your back and it will go away.

Some people just don't do well with certain opioids.
Codeine+anti histamine is good if you have no tolerance, and I had a honey moon period for about three weeks with it then it did nothing.

Take promethazine with your hydrocodone and you won't puke. Hell, even dramamine would work.

Not true. 5mg hydrocodone makes me puke every time, and it's definitely not enough to cause any type of intoxication. I need to take 25mg benadryl/dramamine about an hour before I dose, and then again with my dose.

why do some people (like myself) seem to develope tolerance to opioids insanely fast? the first time i ever took an opiate (that i'm aware of) it was 180mg codeine via six tylenol 3's and i didn't even notice a buzz.. they made me a little irritable but didn't notice a buzz
then the first time i really felt it was from 20mg oral oxy.. pretty euphoric. next time i took 25mg, felt great and even threw up. then after that, it was never the same again. probably cuz i kept ramping up the doses as high as possible but still, i can't believe how high some poeple can get off such small amounts. can genetics play a roll, my father was a H addict

Yeah, race and gender and genetic anomalies can have huge impacts. People of different races and genders have different levels of liver enzymes. If you've got high levels of certain enzymes, the bioavailibility will be quite low, and you'll metabolize the opiates that do make it into your system much more quickly. It could also depend on your diet. Lots of foods contain naturally occuring chemicals that inhibit or induce enzymes.

Sounds like your allergic to it to me. 5mgs is a very small amount to be puking from the intoxication.

Probably because 180mg of codeine is not enough to even get a buzz and 20mg oxycodone is plenty. Opiate tolerance develops fast with some people, usually former addicts but sometimes noobs too.
I can't do shit 2 days in a row without gaining a tolerance and having average withdrawal symptoms.

My point was that I puke before the intoxication. I very much doubt I have an allergy. Allergies cause histamine release, and vomiting is not a symptom of that.

Mention that you've had a dry cough for a while.
Chances are the doctor will ask if you've taken anything, say cough syrup, and whatever those little cough tablets are called, as well as cough drops. None of it worked, of course. 
I'd repeat that it tickles so much that you're up all night coughing.
From past attempts, they sometimes just give you syrup with promethazine in it so mentioning that you're having trouble sleeping because of the tickle usually gets you the codeine! 
Good luck, sir!

Be careful prescribing that, Dr. BothHands.
Promethazine potentiates most opiates, this could easily cause someone to overdose on what they considered to be a fair dosage.

Vomiting can be a symptom of an allergy. My point is that 5mg hydrocodone is a very small amount and even someone with no tolerance should be able to take that amount without any unpleasentness.
I'm not you though and I'm not trying to be a doctor. Just saying that puking from one vicodin is like puking from one beer.
I'm actually not sure what you are saying the reason for the vomiting is? If your not allergic and you puke before it crosses the blood-brain barrier what do you think the cause is?
Very strange.

Actually promethazine only potentiates opiates in the sense that it also depresses your CNS. It doesn't actually make the opiates stronger. It's still dangerous though.

Yeah, as was mentioned the key is to mention that the cough wont let you sleep. Doctors usually aren't too worried with prescribing codeine, so unless you're dealing with a very frugal doctorz you should get your syrup.
