What Causes Chills And Dizziness After Taking Dextromethorphan?
c. 7:00 p.m. yesterday I inadvertently took about 2.5x the recommended dosage of dextromethorphan which made me understandably light-headed, but I also began shivering as though the house were cold. It wasn t. I ll mention that this was the ONLY dose of cough medicine I d had in at least two days. Sleep was somewhat fitful and although those symptoms were gone this morning I have little energy today. Possible connection? Thanks
