New meds making me feel sick

New meds making me feel sick

OMG these new meds are making me feel so sick.

Since July when i was last in hospital i have changed meds and gone up and strength, then down a strength, then up double strength. Last week my psych decided to change meds again but not in hospital. He had me on the old one (reduced strength) plus taking my new one all at the same time. I have had no 'wash out period' at all this time.

Today is my second day on my new meds and I am feeling so sick. Worse than before. The nausea is horrible, the headaches still there and the woozy giddy feeling is yuk.

I struggle at work today. I have just made a cup of tea to help and my daughter found some peppermint oil which i have just put on my stomach and behind my ears (as per google!!!)

Gosh i wish there was something else i could do. I can't speak to my GP or psych as they are both finished for the day.

Not doing great 😞

Re: New meds making me feel sick

@BlueBay. How wonderful to be able to reconnect with an old friend. 24 years and a lot of living and changes have occurred in thst period. I'm happy you will both take time over the Christmas period to realky get to talk and discover each other again.
I didn't do any housework. I looked after my niece for about 2 & 1/2 hours. We went tocthe park. I showed her different seeds the trees had dropped. Some she planted - where she thought more trees should grow - & others she skattered on the wind to find their own special place to grow. Yay! I'm finally going to have a tree hugger in the family. I tried with her older brothers and my son. Didn't take. But she is a little animal/nature lover. Was wonderful to see.
Of course after dropping her back with her mum, I slept. Kids that age. I forgot how exhausting they can be. I might need to teach her about meditation next - just listsning to the wind and birds and insects. It might mean I would get 5 minutes of not having to answer questions. Ah....silence

Re: New meds making me feel sick

Thanks @BlueBay

I will be going to bed soon - I have just about got everything ready for the morning - I just have to iron my shirt and have a shower and wash my hair - it's fine and dries quickly and it will be fluffy if I let it dry in a towel and it will look better

It won't be easy - I am sure about that - but then - things do not work out as we imagine they will - but I do know I can live with myself - I know I will survive whatever TS has to say and I will be doing the best I can to keep away from her

I am so glad you went and saw your niece - and that you will see her over Christmas - and that's two people you have caught up with now - your mother does not have the power she thinks she has -
