gentle reminder in this cold-n-flu season to not take mucinex if you’re also taking an SSRI (antidepressant)
always google “drug interactions [insert drug names]” to make sure that combining meds won’t make you more sick
mucinex DM specifically
the dextromethorphan reacts badly with the serotonin and can cause really bad anxiety and insomnia. it can also cause something called serotonin syndrome, or serotonin poisoning.
regular mucinex is ok, but you should always double check medication reactions!
Had a mild bout of serotonin syndrome this year and lemme tell ya folks it is NOT FUN and in serious situations can be fatal. Always follow medication dosing guidelines and ask if you aren’t sure!
