What Causes Dizziness Post Intake Of Diphenoxylate-Atropine?
I was given this, Dyphen/atrop, two 5MG pills for severe diarrhea. My pharmacist is really concerned about te doses, that this is way too much for me. It s not helping much and I keep trying to faint or pass out. What should I do? I don t have a cold. Thank you for your help!!

Hi,
We will try to help you in the best way possible. First of all it's sad to know what you had been going through lately. Based on the history you have shared, though atropine can rarely cause low blood pressure which may cause dizziness.
Inhibition of acetylcholine a neurotransmitter can occasionally cause slow response. However, other causes need to be ruled out by a neurologist opinion.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
