What Causes Nausea And Extreme Tiredness While On Robitussin?

For around 6 months I have been taking Bupropion hcl 150 mg. I recently caught a cold and have taken Robitussin DM peak cold. Since I took the Robitussin I have been nauseous, extremely tired, have an awful headache, and have blurred vision(at times its like I can t focus and things around me look like they re moving). Do I need to go to the hospital?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of nausea and extreme tiredness while on Robitussin . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query anxiety disorder , panic attack , peptic ulcer , heart rhythm disorder , drug overdose , allergic reaction or anemia. But in your case the symptoms are probably due to side effects of Robitussin so also consult doctor who prescribed this medicine . Doctor may alter the dose r prescribe substitute . I would suggest you to consult general practitioner for proper diagnosis . Doctor will take history. Doctor may prescribe anti allergic drug along with antiemetic . Doctor may refer you to cardiologist in case of cardiac disorder or psychologist in case of stress and anxiety . For now take over the counter anti histamine like benadryl .


Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
