My wife had exactly the same reaction the only thing we have found is a prescription codeine cough medicine, it works but you can only take for a short time.

i have the same symptoms!! right now my hand is peeling off....sucks . so as long as i stay away from dextromethorphan then i will never have this symptoms right...

Oh my, so am I. Even a half dose of cough or cold medicine with dextromethorphan and I am out cold within 20 minutes and feel sicker when I wake up. It's taken me 20~ years to figure out it was the dextromethorphan, and I am really extremely sensitive to other medications like ADHD medications like adderall, anti psychotics, anti depressants, anti anxiety medications, blood pressure meds, what they put in an epidural and street drugs like cocaine, meth... and the like. I seem to be sensitive to medications known to cause neuroleptic malignant syndrome. Be careful out there.
I looked everywhere for years and found nothing on passing out from cough and cold medicine....
I am finding out CBD is the only compliment to a serotonin reuptake inhibitor....

Dextramephorthan breaks me out in a horrible rash on my arms and butt and upper legs. The itching is unbearable.

I have a severe allergy to opiates also and we found out the hard way that this includes general anesthesia make sure they get tested by allergist at hospital or anesthesiologist because this is rare but you don't want to find out during surgery which ones are safe!

Yes, Robitussin DM sent me to the ER with anaphylaxis and was confirmed by an allergist after my recovery from the episode. Almost died from severe reaction to contrast dye in a CT scan some years before. Your body changes with time and reactions are unpredictable. I’ve been told to call 911 and never have someone drive me to a hospital due to the window closing quickly. Very scary. I take nothing OTC and avoid “homeopathic” remedies suggested by well meaning friends and relatives with no medical training.

The same thing happened to me. I had taken Mucinex DM many times before. Before being diagnosed with the flu, I had taken several over the counter cold medicines like alkaseltzer tabs or cold/flu pills throughout the week. I took 1 Mucinex DM 12 hour pill along with anxiety medication and 2 enzyme capsules. After about 2 hours, I had a sort of out of body experience. I couldn't move my arms or legs properly, my eyes would hardly stay open, my skin felt tight and tingly throughout my whole body and my face was numb. I felt like I was going crazy for some unknown reason but I was strangely calm. Breathing and hear rate were fine, and my tongue/throat did not swell. EMS came and found I had hives all over my body. I took Benadryl and began to improve in about 30min, but still felt slightly abnormal the day after.

Me too !!!! It never fails ! I’ll sneeze my head off after taking it ! Tonight I sneezed 6 times , and my tongue feels funny .

I took a slow release cough medicine. So over the course of the day my throat closed , lips swelled. By end of the day ,I was in the Er getting epi pen and prednisone bc I barely could breath all bc of that drug in cough syrup

I take Mucinex and flonase. Otherwise, honey and lozenges for the coughing. Hot showers and humidifiers help a little. Wish there was something to take to quiet the coughing! The lack of sleep keeps me sicker longer!

I was almost over a bad sinus infection so I took NyQuil liquicaps because I thought it would help me sleep. I woke up about 3 hours after taking them and suddenly I became really sick. I thought I had the flu because I got very sudden vomiting with simultaneous diarrhea. Since there were no other flu symptoms I soon realized it was from the DXM in NyQuil. Now it’s 3 days later and my body still cannot absorb nutrients properly. I am dizzy and weak from continuous diarrhea. I will never, ever come close to anything with DXM again. Nasty stuff

Try Zicam or cold-eeze it eliminates 80% for me of the cold symptoms. I guarantee that it will be beneficial. I take turmeric and garlic on a daily basis
