Let's learn about my medication's side effects
From NIH Medline
Tell your doctor if any of these symptoms are severe or do not go away:
* drowsiness
* muscle weakness
* unsteady walking
* coordination problems
* headache
* pain
* loss of appetite
* forgetfulness
* anxiety
* dizziness
* moodiness
* nervousness
* painful, burning, or tingling feeling in the hands or feet
* sore throat
* runny nose
* sinus pain
Some side effects can be serious. The following symptoms are uncommon, but if you experience any of them, call your doctor immediately:
* depression
* anxiety
* hearing voices or seeing visions that do not exist (hallucinations)
* hostility
* thoughts of killing yourself
* fever, sore throat, and other signs of infection
* double vision
So basically, if anything happens, it's medication. My problem is that many of these side effects I had before I ever started the medication. I can't wait for some of these side effects. Hallucinations? Nervousness? Dizziness? So it's like having a seizure, but now I'm taking medicine to cause them.
I'll write my report about the visit to the doctor either later today or tomorrow. But before I write those lies, I'll have you know that due to a little episode I had Wednesday night, I'm on increased dosage. Other than that, no worries.
