So... Is it just me ...
or does anyone else have the OPPOSITE effect when it comes to some meds?
Example, most histamine affecting medications are listed as allergies on my medication list, because they are stimulating, rather than sedating to me. They're stimulating to the point that I feel like I'm crawling out of my skin, like I want to literally cut my skin off, and I won't be able to sleep for several days.
Benadryl.
Olanzapine...
Seroquel...
Compazine...
They all have similar methods of action, and they all make me Wide Awake ... & tweaky.
Opiates make me feel totally out of my mind. Highhhh.
Sometimes I wonder what heroin would do to me. Think I would talk Non-Stop and be awake several days VS crashing like most.
And that is exactly what any pain relieving prescribed opiate has ever done for me. Mania. No sleep Talk your head off.
Currently... I'm prescribed benzos for anxiety. I have a fast acting, longer duration Klonopin, and a fast-acting shorter-duration Ativan. I took three Ativan, and 3 klonopin, (yes naughty me) along with two of my blood pressure pills, and 1 beer...
Yes a beer
I was hoping to just get knocked out... as I've been having such a hard time sleeping.
... And I am wound for sound INSTEAD. What kind of hell is this?!
I cannot sleep for the life of me.
I was honestly debating at this point in time ... If melatonin would help... but they don't even do anything for me anymore, usually.
Also
... I haven't been taking benzos for Anxiety for that long.
Like one month on and one month off ... and I rarely used Ativan when I was prescribed it alone
... now I am BACK on Ativan AND Klonopin... and just started taking both of them a few weeks ago. There is no way I have a tolerance.
I don't even use them regularly... And Only the first two days of use were they actuallllly sedating and helped me with my anxiety,
now it's like the exact opposite happens.
Same with Olanzapine which we tried a month ago (but it was a nightmare. Wanted to filet my skin off)
I know I shouldn't have taken as many as I took tonight, 3 of each
... but it really is quite interesting to note that I'm completely Restless on this combination of Ativan and Klonopin. Like restless leg syndrome, can't sleep, Wide Awake. Feel like I could binge watch Netflix all night... Well. Morning
*sigh*
I wish friggin Delta 8 or Cannabis would work for me to help me relax
...
Any medications you seem to have an opposite reaction to?
Anything that's supposed to be stimulating, sedate you? I have that effect from coffee as well! Coffee is very sedating for me, and will put me to sleep.
Too bad I don't have any!!!
