Does Robitussin Cough Syrup Have Side Effect On Psychiatric Prescription?
2 Days Ago:
gave myself a bottle of Robitussin cough syrup with DM and neglected that fact that I'm on psychiatric prescriptions. (Divalproex/Effexor/Trazodone/Lamotrigine)
since 2 days ago the side effects have minimized but not totally
Why should I want to go to Emerg. now ???? I think the worst has passed.

You should try to avoid those anti tussive /cough syrup containing codeine if you are using alcohol, sedatives, tranquilizers, or narcotic medications, anti depressives, then you can experience heavy sedation and aggravation of psychiatric symptoms so better use non codeine based diabetic cough formulas :) get well soon :)
