Ah yes, side effects (1 Viewer)

I’m generally not one to stress over the side effects of medications I take but the one I just took has me stressen big time.

Today is the day I started two new medications, there’s one in the morning and one for night time. The morning one causea bit of dizziness, shakiness and just a very overall weird feeling, but it was nothing I couldn’t push through (although I was unsafe to drive and my mom drove all day so I have a feeling she’ll be driving me for a bit until those side effects go away). The side effects of the morning medication also don’t really worry me, I mean none sound fun but you know, not anything extreme is common with it.
But this night one is specifically meant for the evening because it can cause high blood pressure and make a person faint/lose consciousness.
Also hallucinations are another side effect and while I’ve only ever had one medication cause hallucinations, it was one of the most terrifying experiences of my life and I really don’t want to go through it again.
I can tell that the night medication is also going to cause dizziness like the first one which is slightly annoying because now I’m just extra dizzy.

I am now off to go distract my stressing brain with some feel good YouTube ​

Best to rest a lot if it caused dizziness and fainting spells

I hope you can rest and the side effects go away soon!

Side effects were one of the main reasons I stopped taking medications because I couldn't deal with it anymore :(

oh, Wingsy... I hope you get better soon! Hallucinations are the worst. I had them after my second Covid shot. It was terrifying and I didn't get a good night's sleep at all bc of it. I ended up getting up for the day at 4:30 in the morning.
