joyagh Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 I have found some info stating that using one therapeutic dose of DXM can relieve POTS symptoms for days. It's an NDMA antagonist. Has anyone used it for this purpose? I notice I feel better when I take it for cough - I don't get the adrenaline symptoms. I didn't know if was an opiod base. I never thought it could help for POTS symptoms, but I might try it.Maybe not at the 150mg dose, as that has some scary looking effects, but a regular dose in retrospect has helped me feel better, so maybe just the regular dose can be effective.http://bpainfreetherapy.hubpages.com/hub/How-to-Use-Dextromethorphan-for-Chronic-Pain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futurehope Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 The stuff makes me sick. Maybe it's the other ingredients in the formulation like the coloring that does it to me? I hope I never need it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joyagh Posted January 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 oh yah, you can take pills without any extra ingredients. you have to be careful with cold meds that they don't contain other ingredients for cold symptoms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 Interesting timing on this thread. I've been fighting a sinus infection/bronchitis for a couple weeks and have been using Mucinex or Ruobitussin. My BP and HR have been fairly stable even though I was weaning off my propanalol at the same time. Was wondering if the Mucinex had something to do with it, but have been too sick to do any research on it. Thanks for posting this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
