Oy, where do I start...? I'm certainly enjoying the pain pills~ but NOT the side effects I get from them: dry mouth (not fun waking up feeling like someone stuffed cotton in your mouth!), hallucinations, confusion, nausea, and the worst of all, anxiety. I had a horrible time with it last night, feeling trapped and hearing voices and seeing faces.
the first drug I had since the hospital: drug 1
that was a doozy....my mood changed and my mental state changed. I was on it only for a few days, when the doctor switched me to this one: drug 2 oboy~ this one took the cake with the anxiety stuff. I had it bad last night--I was up for 2.5 hours (keeping my mom up as well) fighting the panic feeling and not being able to sleep or breathe.
I thought my doctor scripted me Vicodin because I asked for it. but it's certainly NOT Vicodin, because I don't remember reacting this bad to Vicodin--when I had my left knee done two years.
I'm now taking one Aleve every 3 hours-- it does an ok job, but I never ever want to deal with those drugs again. I never want to feel those mental/mood changes...and the benefit of this whole thing, I've an inkling of what the mentally ill go through, everyday.
in the meantime, I'm taking antibiotics for the infection, taking those horse pills is a PITA...but I learned a new trick to swallow them: take it with yogurt. but I wonder if the antibiotic compounded drug #2's side effects, because drug #1 behaved the same way before I had the antibiotic. :sct:
Tomorrow I'll see my doctor, and hopefully I can go home. and get a better script for pain.... I'm just scared of what they'll gave me next time.
