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 😞

Aw @BlueBay

If and only if you really bled your previous psyche dry why did this guy take you on? Weird

You were abandoned by your mother - that is a primal wound - adopted children have this wound - and that is the wound you need treated.

My son had that wound - I didn't read "The Primal Wound" until after he had died - but it really did fill in the picture of abandoned children

I will see if I can find it on line - you never know your luck

@NikNik

are you still around?? i don't know what to do anymore...

Not sleeping because of stupid new AD = very tired, grumpy very emotional person

I am crying, i can't sleep.

I have just chatted online to Lifeline and just told them i had self harmed today and was having terrible negative thoughts and just when they wanted to know what i was thinking of doing - the connection was lost.

I am scared that they will call the authorities; can they find out where i live?

i am so exhausted, i need my sleep; i don't cope without sleep. i told my psych on tuesday and in one ear and out the other.

no one is listening 😞

Dec here @BlueBay

If you were ringing Life Line on your mobile phone it is very easy to lose the connection

I don't know what will happen but if they send the CAT team what can you lose? You have already had a lot of help from them - it will be okay

You could ring Life Line back and explain what happened - that can't hurt either

Also - not everyone can hear the truth - not because they are not listening but because it is too much and that is not wrong - it just is

We are listening though - even though you don't know who we are we are real people and we care a whole lot

exhaustion is a big emotional

Re: New meds making me feel sick

I tried chatting on-line to Life Line once - it may be great for some people but it didn't work for me - so I get it

You are drained - exhausted - as you said - oh dear - so am I - I know how it feels - I am not about to SH - I don't feel that kind of done in - just tired

I hope you can get some sleep - sleep is important

I know you must be experiencing despair - you are going through a rough time with all your trouble with your psyche and your psychologist - it's a load

Maybe I will get enough sleep for most of us - I am planning to start that asap

Let's know how you are going though - for right now I will be on-line

@BlueBay. I'm here if you find you can't sleep and want to talk. I'll always listen.
Firstly I just want to check that your SH -is alright - don't know the right words to use - but I guess I'm asking that the injury is not too serious and that you don't need medical help for it.
Secondly - you have a right to cry. It's been a triggering time for you lately. I understand that you don't want to cry & that it's painful feeling these emotions so strongly. But please know that it will pass. Thiese feelings will end soon.
You are doing the best you can today. That's all any of us can do. Today sucks. Yell into a pillow. Punch it. Breath. Diversions. Self soothing. Sleep. Anything that helps get you through the next 10 minutes & then the next 10 after that. It will pass. Sleep will come. Just keep breathing and focusing on your breath.
Am here for you. I'm not going anywhere.
