    Default Whoa, Ginger's high (or something like being high)

    Ok, I didn't have a bunch of my meds for more than a couple weeks. I finally got some and I started taking them last night. I woke up this morning feeling like a truck hit me. I took my morning stuff and now I feel worse. Tingling in my hands and feet, a headache, my ears are ringing, and I get nauseous if I try to sit up in my bed. I can't remember things that I should know (phone numbers, my dog's name, what ketchup is). My pupils are dilated and won't get small, and there are spots every time I look around.

    What the ever living fuck is this? Side effects from getting back on my meds? This effing sucks. How long will this last?

    whoa, can your bf double-check that you have the right meds and the right dosages?

    maybe it's like you said, because you had to skip a day or so due to that insurance bs they put you thru? can you call the doctor and describe this? at least that could put you at ease if it's just a normal reaction to "going back on the meds".

    glad to hear you got that insurance bs straighten out finally. good luck!

    omg yes. the little autistic boy i babysit was having a really bad day last week. i asked his mom about it and she told me she found out this weekend that the dr wrote a prescription for 10 mgs of one of his meds instead of 5mgs. and she had already upped the dose already thinking they were 5mgs. he was getting almost triple the amount he should have been! her husband noticed that the pills were slightly bigger and thats when she checked, otherwise she wouldnt have ever figured it out!

    Sounds like your equilibrium is off at the VERY least. Double check your meds...if they are right, maybe take half the dose and build yourself back up again.

    In any case...call your dr RIGHT NOW and tell him/her whats going on.

    Sounds like something a Dr. should know about, and give some medical opinions about.

    Hang in there Ginger. If you are back to your normal dosages of your regular meds, then it's probably only a matter of time till you stabilize and feel like yourself.

    I hope your BF and Mom are around you. You shouldn't go through this alone.

    Be well!!!

    Ok, my BF looked at all my stuff and the things are written the right way and the doses are what I was taking before I ran out of them 2 weeks ago. He's bringing me everything because I have not gotten out of bed today, it feels like I will fall. I can't get my legs to support my weight, so I'm just going to lay in the bed for a while. I called the doctor and I am waiting for him to call me back.

    Medicine sucks. Doctors suck. Public clinics suck. Insurance sucks. That's a lot of sucky shit. Thank ya'll for being so nice and totally not sucking.

    I don't know your specific situation, but I'm guessing that when you first started your meds, you didn't just start taking all of them at once and/or at the current dosages. When you add new meds over time and/or increase the dosage, it's not a big shock. But you've been off for 2 weeks which is long enough for even long lasting drugs to be completely out of your system. And then you just start taking everything all at once and your body can't handle it.

    Hopefully your doctor will call back soon, I know how much it can suck having bad reactions.

    gineger, hopefully its as lezmaka states and its just a reaction. Hopefully, after a nights rest everything will be ok.

    I hope you're all right, Ginger. Makes me mad--you're in the situation because even moving heaven and earth didn't get you the meds you needed on time...your doctor should be giving you some answers pronto about what is happening after all that. I hope you get the answers you need. If you don't, please let me know: I know some medical people who could help me look up some answers for you: I'll help if I can, and I'm glad to do it. I hate it when people have to beg for medical help--it should not happen. I don't like the sound of you not being able to stand up. Please let us know how you are when you have a chance.
