Do any of you have experience using this? There's a RCT published in JAMA in 2015 around agitation related to alzheimer's that shows a reasonable effect size around reduction in the agitation subscore of the neuropsychiatric inventory scale (effect size of -0.5 to -0.3 depending on the study phase). There is a previous thread that discusses this med when it was first released for pseudobulbar affect - it seems that w/o quinidine on board (a potent 2d6 inhibitor) dextromethorphane doesn't seem to do much. This is problematic b/c the brand drug (nudexta) is horrendously expensive (around 1500 on goodrx)
I would be esp interested if anyone has experience trying to combine dextromethorphan w/ another potent 2d6 inhibitor (e.g prozac).
