Hi all,
I'm probably beating a subject that has been discussed several times....but has anyone had any luck with using dextromethorphan without quinidine?
I was taking a teaspoon a day, which is close to 30mg, for a few weeks until my primary Neurologist told me to stop. He said dextromethorphan contains chemicals that can affect the mind, kind of like taking a mild narcotic.
But in all the information I have found online says it's safe if not abused.
Has anyone used dextromethorphan to improve speech or swallowing? I swear my speech was better when I took dex, but now I'm thinking I was just hopeful.
I see that Neudexta is in a clinical trial to see if it will improve speech/swallowing.
Thanks...
Joel
