Hi

For the last few days I have been on the above and it is making me feel, what I can only describe as 'feeling drunk' - no I havenot touched a drop (with my meds I can't anyway), has anyone else been like this?

Hi krissie, yes I felt like this when I first started. Try cutting out caffeine from your diet as theophylline (which is what uniphyllin is) is chemically very similar to caffeine and it can be a bit like having a caffeine overdose. I only feel that drunkenness feeling if I have caffeine now but otherwise am fine. If you love a cup of tea or coffee it's now really easy to get decaf in both.

Not what you're looking for?
