These new meds are awful.

Three days in to my new medication and all I can do is stumble around, bump into things and sleep. I know I really have to ride it out and wait for them to settle but I feel dizzy and foggy and unbelievably tired. I have absolutely no energy, my limbs ache! I won't give up on them so soon but arrrraggggghhhhh! Sorry just needed to moan, there is no one else!

I hope you feel better soon! I took prescribed medication earlier this week and it made me so much like a zombie that I went into my own kitchen and realized I did my dishes earlier and just didn't remember it! Nice surprise! Hope you feel better soon.

Haha bonus! Wish I could forget I had done my chores to get such a nice surprise but no such luck! I just forget I need to do them in the first place or rather just can't be bothered!! Hehe. Take care x

I can relate to this! on a lot of occasions, your body has to take time to get used to a new chemical being introduced into your bloodstream. This might make you feel a bit dizzy or light headed and that's completely normal. give it a week or two, and hopefully you will start seeing improvements! I hope this helped

Thank you I'm sure the side effects will ease soon but it's not nice feeling like a zombie. Thanks for your advice. Take care.
