This actually happened about a month ago, but I wanted to see if I could get some feedback on wtf might have been going on...
I was at my boyfriend's house staying the night, was in moderate opiate withdrawal (horrible RLS, but that was my biggest complaint), and I also had bronchitis, and was on the antibiotic doxycycline. (My habit was around 120-180mg of oxy a day... I had been somewhat maintaining on loperamide and kratom... [Edit: Til I could get some more roxies...])
I took two Mucinex for my bronchitis, at a total of 60mg of DXM, and tried going to bed a couple hours later as the Mucinex was making me feel pretty wonky. I remember my boyfriend waking me up briefly a while later, and I was shaking really bad, the sheets were soaked with sweat around me, I had erratic breathing, and the RLS had doubled... He told me later that it scared him pretty badly, which kinda made me feel bad... I really hate him seeing me like that, but he understands my situation...
Anyone have any idea what kind of reaction might have been going on? My state of withdrawal returned to normal when I woke up the next morning, so I guess it only lasted a couple hours or so, I don't really remember the experience very well... I've heard of DXM having some kind of mild opiate antagonism(?) action, but I don't really know the nature of it at all... Could it maybe have been some sort of precipitated withdrawal or something..? =/
