Nuedexta is quinidine with dextromethorphan.
It does not have the same side effects as Ketamine-it has its own set of crappy side effects.
At normal doses:
body rash/itching (see below)
Nausea
Vomiting
Drowsiness
Dizziness
Constipation
Diarrhea
Sedation
Confusion
Nervousness
Closed-eye hallucinationAt doses three to 10 times the recommended therapeutic dose:
Increased energy
Increased confidence
Mild nausea
Restlessness
Insomnia
"Speeding"/talking fast
Feelings of increased strength
Enlargened pupils/glazed eyes (but not red)At dosages 15 to 75 times the recommended therapeutic dose:
Hallucinations
Dissociation
Vomiting
Blurred vision and/or double vision
Bloodshot eyes
Dilated pupils
Sweating
Fever
Bruxia
Hypotension
Hypertension
Tachycardia
Shallow respiration
Diarrhea
Urinary retention
Muscle spasms
Sedation
Euphoria
Paresthesia
Blackouts
Sight loss
Inability to focus eyes
Skin rashDextromethorphan is the stuff they put in cough syrup. You can get high on it. Over-the-counter preparations containing dextromethorphan have been used in manners inconsistent with their labeling, often as a recreational drug.At doses much higher than medically recommended, DXM and its major metabolite, dextrorphan, acts as an NMDA receptor antagonist, which produces effects similar to, yet distinct from, the dissociative hallucinogenic states created by other dissociative anaesthetics such as ketamine and phencyclidine. It may produce distortions of the visual field - feelings of dissociation, distorted bodily perception, and excitement, as well as a loss of sense of time. Some users report stimulant-like euphoria, particularly in response to music. Dextromethorphan usually provides its recreational effects in a non-linear fashion, so that they are experienced in significantly varied stages. These stages are commonly referred to as "plateaus"
I would not take this drug for its anti-depressant effects.
