I took a Mucinex DM tablet yesterday morning at work. By 11, I was making plans to go home for the rest of the day.
I became very light-headed, dizzy, and unfocused. I would look at the computer screen and everything seemed to be bouncing. I went home and laid on the couch until around 9 p.m. and anytime I got up, blood rushed to my head and I felt dizzy all over again.
What I didn't know was that the Mucinex DM and my antidepressant weren't playing nicely together. I learned this morning that any drug with dextromethorphan in it is NOT good for those taking antidepressants!!
Note to self: double-check drug interactions before taking ANYTHING in the future.
