Side Effect from My New Medication


Yesterday I took a long nap and when I woke up I felt like I was drunk.  I'm going to skip taking a nap today or maybe only take a short one.

I'm waiting until the holidays are over before doubling the dose, as my doctor directed.

I found the video and GIF on the web.

    Jeez, I have to get drunk the REGULAR way! No fair! But if this is a reoccurring side effect, I'd let my doctor know. Did s/he warn you that this might happen as your body is adjusting to the medication?

      Yeah Debra, I'll give it a while after I have to double the dose then call the doctor if I can't tolerate it.

    Speaking to your doctor is a good idea. Perhaps this is a temporary reaction.

    Okay now, I hope this passes by soon for you.
    You did make me giggle with that dog crashing over though, thank you.
    Take care.

    Sometimes it takes a long time to get the dosage right. I certainly feel for you. I've been there.

    John, it is best for your own well-being that you report all side effects to your doctor. I wish you the very best and I pray this medication will help you feel more like yourself~

    Goodness, that wasn't good then so I do hope you can walk about alright without being too wobbly. Good idea to leave it to see the Dr. after Christmas a bit difficult if taking more of the same medication and you get more wobbly over the Christmas period.
    Take care of yourself - love the both the video.
    Merry Christmas from Tasmania, Australia.
