Is there a way to extract hydrocodone from cough syrup (not APAP)?

Along the same lines, does anyone know the side effects of homatropine, added to cough syrups to discourage their use as an euthogen? I know it is used as an eyedrop to dialate the eye, but Merck only indicates the MD50 level/Kg body weight in mice. (nausea,vomiting,sweating....?)...

Since homatropine is an anticholinergic it will actually prevent nausea in lower doses, and it will absolutely eliminate any sweating. I've been playing around somewhat with scopolamine and hyoscyamine (a.c alkaloids of Belladonna, Thornapple etc) in the form of patches and tabs, after reading on ColdWaterWorld that they could potentiate opiate euphoria. But I found it a waste of time, synthetic antichols like diphenhydramine and regular antihistamines such as hydroxyzine or promethazine even, worked better to combat side effects and add a little sedation.

I think that you mean "to discourage their use as an euphoriant". That aside, I've heard of many ppl using HC/homatropine syrum to attain euphoria. You just have to watch your intake. Much like Lomital, although there is a tropane mixed with the narcotic, you can still use it recreationally, as long as you don't take too much.

One problem that I can see with lomital abuse (only doable if you have a low tolerance) is that it takes quite sometime for the effects to become apparent, so the user may redose several times, and in the process ingest too much atropine. (One thing to note, it takes 20 lomital tablets to equal one theraputic IV dose of atropine.)
BTW, for those that don't know...Lomital, RX'd for severe diarreah, contains 2.5 mg of diphenaxylate, an opioid, and .025 mg of atropine. It is CV. They used to only consist of diphenoxylate, back in the 70's, but it was determined there was a high rate of IV diphenoxylate abuse, so the atropine was added to discourage this. I believe that diphenoxylate on it's own is a CII.
IT's available OTC in several countries that I know of, and prolly many I don't. (The UK, Australia, and NZ are a few)
