Anyone else have a bad reaction to Promethazine DM Syrup? Here are some of the side effects I encountered and info to know.

This medication can also cause some problems with urination. I had trouble controlling my bladder and went to the ER because I was so stressed out. It was like I couldn't pee. My doctor said it was a side effect of the medicine. I can't believe something like this can happen.

I had a similar experience with Promethazine DM Syrup. I felt really dizzy and disoriented, and it made my heart race. I thought I was having a heart attack! I had to go to the ER, and they told me it was a side effect. I never took it again. Be careful with this stuff.

You're not alone. I had a really bad reaction too. It made me so sleepy that I was falling asleep in the middle of the day. I ended up spilling my coffee because I couldn't stay awake. And yes, it definitely helped with the cough, but the side effects were not worth it for me.

I've had a couple of bad reactions, but it's hard to tell whether they are just rare reactions or the medication. I would stop taking it if it's that bad. The drowsiness and dizziness are probably the worst. I did not know about the hallucinations. I guess that's a serious side effect to be aware of. I will be avoiding this one in the future.

I've had some bad reactions to cough syrup, but I felt like the side effects were worth it compared to the severe cough I had. I didn't have any hallucinations, so that must be really scary. I think it's best to avoid taking it if you're having severe side effects like these.

I've had some weird reactions to cough medicine, but nothing like this. For some reason, I get a lot of drowsiness. It's good for a restful night, but I actually like to stay awake to study. Do you guys think it would be okay to take other meds to counteract the drowsiness?

Have any of you had an allergic reaction? I had a friend who broke out in hives and had to go to the hospital. It was scary to watch. I think it's important to be aware of the signs of a severe allergic reaction and to stop taking the medicine immediately if you experience any symptoms.

I've had some bad experiences with medicine but nothing like the neuroleptic malignant syndrome. That sounds terrifying. I would stop taking it immediately if I had any symptoms like that.

I love how Promethazine DM Syrup is a combination of two different drugs. But I don't love the side effects. I felt really lightheaded and kinda spacey when I took it. Like I could be having an out-of-body experience. I did not like it, but it helped with the cough. It was definitely worth it in my case.

I've had a few cough syrups make me a bit drowsy but nothing like what you're describing. I would definitely suggest you speak with your doctor if you're having severe side effects and possibly switch to a different medication. I don't know if you're aware, but you can report side effects like this to the FDA.
