Calmness symptoms and conditions

I was told by my doctor to go to the ER for my severe migraine. I was given Reglan, Toradol, and a third drug that I cannot remember. The drug was given through an IV. About four or five minutes after the drug was given (I was in the room alone) I began to feel strangely. I wasn't warned about any strange side effects so I began to worry what was going on.

The side effects started by feeling a GREAT and inexplicable sense of urgency...like I needed to get up and run somewhere important RIGHT AWAY. Shortly after, like thirty seconds later I was forced to jump up out of the bed, it was literally painful to be sitting in the bed. I needed to move...and NOW! I was trying to rationalize my behavior. I felt as if I was given some kind of psychological drug that screwed with my mind. I began to feel a terror unlike any terror I have ever known.

I was trying to reason myself back to calmness and sanity, but I began to feel the rest of my body go into convulsions. I was standing on the side of the bed in my hospital room and I clutched on to the bed rails and started rocking and twitching and crying hysterically. I wanted to rip my IV out and run like crazy. I became claustrophobic and my heart was pounding out of my chest. I was covered in a cold sweat and I felt like a knife was going into my heart. I was convinced I was having a true heart attack.

My doctor happened to walk by my room and the curtain was half open. He saw me crying and writhing on the side of the bed. He laughed at me and asked me what was wrong. I politely reminded him that he was the one with the medical degree and that he should tell me what was going on. He smiled a Mr. Rogers kind of smile and said, "dystonia....that's all. So, just relax." He made me sit on the bed and that is when the full body convulsions started. I was flopping like a fish out of water on the bed and the nurse started getting short with me telling me I needed to "calm down." I politely told her that it was not my disposition that was causing the freak out, but the chemical that she pumped me full of.

I kept asking what was going on and what "dystonia" was. I was treated like an irrational child and the doctor sat smiling at me like I was crazy. I was convinced I was literally dying. The nurse put the blood pressure cuff back on me and she started freaking out saying that if I didn't control my heart and bring it back down to normal that I was going to have a heart attack. I told her that was my complaint from the beginning of the allergic reaction. I thought I was having a heart attack.

Reluctantly, (and after ten minutes of suffering the most painful and slow torture) the doctor prescribed some benadryl. I was begging him at this point to sedate me because the pain, panic, and body convulsions were beyond my tolerance...that and I was terrified and not getting any answers. The doctor held me down in the bed after the benadryl was administered and he kept insisting I go to sleep. How can you sleep when you are suffering those kinds of symptoms and convinced you are dying (without so much as an explanation as to what is happening to your body)?

I eventually fell asleep five or ten minutes later and woke up being wheeled to CT scan for my migraine. The worst part was that I was begging for my husband the whole time (who was just outside the room fighting with the billing department). The doctor told me that he was going to get my husband and then just left. I went through that whole trauma alone.

And when I was released from the hospital two hours later no one ever bothered to explain to me that the muscle spasms, heart pain, palpitations, and panic attacks would continue for some time as the drug worked its way out of my system. The side effects lasted on a much more mild scale for two days following this episode. I wouldn't wish this terror on the worst person on earth. Why is this drug even offered to people?

Have been on Simvastatin since May 2007. Have experienced debilitating headaches every day for the first three months, neck and shoulder pain, lower back pain, tiredness to the point of having to stop what I am doing and go to bed and am wondering now whether any other female taking Simvastatin has experienced a burning sensation when passing very hot water and extremely uncomfortable and painful sex.

This is my story. My daughter 14, the most precious child ever born. She has a wonderful disposition always happy, loving, and determined to succeed in whatever she does. She just brightens everyone’s world.
She suffers from severe seasonal allergies and mild asthma. She takes approximately seven allergy/asthma medicines a day during peak season. Over the past two years she has been taking Singular as one of her medicines. Being 14, sick of taking medicine she would not take the Singular on a regular basis. Approximately four months ago “MOM” says, if you take nothing else take your Singular it will work both for the seasonal allergies and your asthma. She has been taking this regularly four the past four months.
She became paranoid, she became a compulsive eater and bites the skin on her fingers. She would eat and chew on her fingers at the same time, until she choked. She had so much anger, she could not even go to the mall without temper tantrums.(As a child she never had any tantrums ) Always afraid. Severe depression set in. She would cry at a moments notice. She would say, I have a very sad life, sad very sad, nothing makes me like this, I’m just sad. She felt she should go live with the homeless people. I asked her why, she didn’t know, she felt maybe that’s where she belonged. Nightmares and sleepless nights.
She needs help quickly. Before calling the Doctor, I went on the internet and entered Singular and depression and I found 1900 entries, all people telling me what I was experiencing. Could this possibly be the answer for us? I called her Dr and told him what I thought, he said he has never had anyone that this has happened to. He hoped it was the answer, but really didn’t think is. He said if it wasn’t the answer she would need therapy, mood stabilizer and Prozac.

Its day four off Singular, she smiling, no tears today, no temper tantrums, looking forward to school next week, wants to play volleyball next year, singing in the car,
I hear that happy voice again.(Hi, Mommy!!!!!!) Every once in a while a glaze comes over her face. She isn’t a 100% back, but I know it is coming.

To all the people that don’t have the happy ending, I will pray for you and hold you in my heart forever.

I have been on NuvaRing for a little less than a year. My OBGYN prescribed it. It was my first time using birth control. I noticed 2 things right away - I was a lot more calm/non-chalant and I had lessened sex drive. I thought the latter was due to my nervousness about my boyfriend pushing it up too far for me to fish it out again and maybe at first that was part of it. But it's gone from overactive to almost non-existent (little physical desire, mostly emotional & love desire). I think normally there such be a balance. Also it is difficult to have an orgasm now - I have to really concentrate. My calmness was great in that it balanced out my highs and lows, but now it's to the point that I mostly don't really care about anything one way or the other. Too non-chalant. I also am experiencing depression for no or irrelevant reasons - so bad that it's kept me out of work and even - yes - even the shopping mall! I have no desire to go outside and do anything - grocery shopping, shopping, shopping, walking around or anything - which I thought at first was a good thing for the shopping, shopping. Like most of the posters I could just lay around and sleep and eat all day. With the sleep - I can sleep, but I am NEVER tired. I can stay up until the wee hours of the morning without a yawn like it's the afternoon and I still wake up very early. With the food - I can eat multiple times in a row - full meals. I'm always hungry and never full/satisfied. I am constipated with hard stools. This was an issue until I got off of partially hydrogenated oils (about 2-3 years ago), however even with my altered diet I've still been having issues. My thighs have been falling asleep - weird. Also I can't remember anything from one moment to the next - which I blamed on stress and age. I discontinued NuvaRing as of today (the day I found these posts). Thank you for being so honest & for sharing your experiences. Hopefully these posts will help others in search of answers.

Have been on 50mg Zoloft for ~3months. At first, I felt euphoric and happy, no appetite, calmness exuded throughout my soul, but about 6 weeks ago I began to feel anxiety again. I started to obsessively bite/peel all my nails off, which I've never done. My hunger for food, especially sweets is endless and I have gained 6 pounds so far. Also, I feel completely lost and can't function with my daily activities without feeling a constant loss-of-focus feeling. I have memory loss and feel insecure. I don't want to go on a higher dose for fear I may feel worse in the long run, so I have decided on my own that I will very slowly wean myself off this drug (12mg at a time until I am done to zero mg). Maybe I will feel better than I did before I took Zoloft, but I don't yet know what the outcome will be. If anyone has felt better after taking Zoloft and weaned off of it, could you e-mail me some input?

I am now trying Singulair for the second time. It has been a couple of years but the Dr. insisted it would help control my asthma. My problem again is very dry eyes so dry that when I try to watch TV I have to close them. I have tried several eye drops and they only last a few minutes. Has anyone else had this problem?

I dont think the purpose of this forum is to be lecturing eachother.

iam still in desperation phase.

Patience you say........do you not realize that the number one symptom of anxiety is no patience??
Do you not realize that it would be Dejays husband writing to us had she listened to people say have more patience.
She was seriously going to kill herself in the bathroom that day.

Patience you say???
I have been off Yaz for 8 weeks now not 6 I have suffered and cried almost everyday I have yet to have a good day. I have pieces of good days but not a full day I can say is good.

I was a holistic person prior to Yaz my doctor insisted it was totally safe and would cause no effects my mistake for trying it yes.

But it really bothers me that you tell others on here to be patient when you dont know if they are home and suicidal would you really want to send that message. We all have our own tolerance level.

Obviously I didnt try Kava for 6 weeks than Valerian for 6 weeks I really didnt have calmness so no I couldnt try each thing for 6-7 weeks.

The Lexapro is a drug I was desperate I was at the end of my rope I was hysterical....does that mean now 3 1/2 weeks on it I want to keep taking it of course not I want to be the old Kim the old Me on my own not by another drug.

Its the old saying you guys feel better and have been thru it Dejay and I are in the midst of it we need support comfort understanding kind words soft hearts.

Y you felt necessary to lecture me when Iam already sad upset discouraged hurt and dont feel like myself in my own body.

I asked for advice on the Lexapro I know 3 1/2 weeks isnt much time to give it...but Iam terrified of it terrified of not getting off it terrified something is in my body that is a chemical again I want to go for a walk and feel like me not a stranger to myself.

Today I went out but I feel like a total stranger I dont know if this is the Lexapro making me feel this way or the hormones or how Iam going to be I post on here for help because I need it. Iam so scared.

I guess I dont have patience like you Voice you must have more patience than I will ever have Iam glad your patience made you get thur easier than Iam having but not everyone is the same.

I just post here for advice and help now Iam stressed out

I know it takes time but also iam a single mom who hasnt worked in 7 weeks and who has to I cant even comfortably go in stores and feel normal Iam lightheaded and uneasy how can I work.
I went on Lexapro to help me but I feel like a stranger to myself.

Patience i have been so patient for 8 weeks Iam scared
I want to be me!

I've been taking ultracet for a little more than a year, for chronic cramps that make me very ill and immobile. I was wondering if any of you itch constantly? I feel so self conscious about it, but I can't help it! Other than that I have this strange feeling of calmness and its as if I'm in a quiet bubble...though any light and sound is extremely intensified for me. Anyone else like this? And I have to ask people to talk very softly to me. I become very sleepy but the moment I close my eyes I have very strange images and thoughts, making sleep difficult. I really hate taking this medication, but its been the only one that helps in terms of pain.

gives me warmth, dulls the pain, euporia, and calmness wonderful since ive for spinal injuries and bursitis, fibromyalgia,numerous car accidents.
