Spacy symptoms and conditions

I started Doxycycline Hyclate several days ago (100 mg 2x daily) as part of 3 week regimen to treat Lyme Disease. I have had some stomach upset, a generally reduced appetite, and cottonmouth... but by far and large the biggest effect has been this overwhelming exhaustion.

Went to bad at 9:30 last night and woke up at 9:00 am this morning but could not drag myself outta bed until almost noon. Its now the middle of the afternoon and I feel like a complete zombie. Spacy and unmotivated, my head might as well be made of wood and can't pull it together to even take a shower yet.

I am a real outdoors guy and keep up a busy routine of work and exercise. Another 2 and a half weeks of this is gonna drive me nuts. I guess it is better than having Lyme, but does it get any easier?

Been at 50 mg of Lamictal for 6 months now- went to 150 at one time with bad results, rash, more depressed, spacy, tired and everything that goes along with that. I take it for depression/anxiuety along with 4 mg of clonipin and Ativan mixed daily.. I am not as sharp as I used to be. Searching for words in speach and typing. I am sure for some people this drug is fine. For me it does nothing but make me worse. I am scared to come off it totally. I am at 37 mg right now. My mood swings are worse. I look for vergbal fights, look to get angry and can't stop myself when I am in a verbal fight.. I am not the same person. I have tried every anti depresant in the books with no results. My only savior is Benzos. Clon and ativan. I would not survive without them. Does anyone know the long term side affects of this drug. When stopping this drug do the side affects diminish or go away. I have much more to say but can't remember cuz of this wonderful drug..Good luck to all

I might have mild FIBROMYALGIA, but on this drug I felt like I got hit by a truck. I am on my 3RD WEEK. Terrible pain/weakness in all my muscles, the trigger points for FM were very tender. It may be that FM is getting wose due to stress, but this all happened on Yasmin.

"Spacy" and not paying attention. I blamed things on my stress level. No interest is sex due to the pain and hurting.

Very depressed and not wanting to do much (mostly because I hurt!) I can't ride my horse w/o pain afterwards.

No nausea, some stomach trouble. Acne is not better or worse.

I am getting off it this weekend and going to see if it in fact the pill.

Women with CHRONIC FATIGUE AND FIBRO be warned to keep an eye on things.

Been on NR for 10 months. I had been off the pill for a few years after being on it for 15 years straight. The 1st few months on NR I noticed the mood swings from the insertion and removal of the ring, otherwise it was ok. I also lost about 9 pounds. But it has stated to creep up on me that over the last 6 months I felt like I had to really work hard to focus on anything. Very spacy and possibly depressed, critical of myself and others and a bit obsessive about certain things. This was nothing like the laid back person my friends knew before. Then I got a urniary tract infection and a few months later, after very painful sex, I got a yeast infection. Since the yeast infection a week ago I have gained 5 lbs. I hope it is bloating and will go away after this period. It feels is like my body is completly out of synch. I have felt extreamly tired over the past 6 months. It wasent a constant tiredness, but when it came on it was very difficult to stay awake, at work, in meetings etc. I also could not get out of bed sometimes, I had the achy bones and sorness that others have experenced. I kept looking at my nutrition intake to make sure I was getting what I needed and I should have been fine. I keept wondering what is wrong with me...... Then one day I wonderd if the extreme need to sleep, and the general feeling of not beeing fully conected to my surroundings could be this ring and the hormones. I am thinking of going off it to see if my life, sleep, etc. improves. I also wanted to mention that the NR website does not address if there are any issues with using a yeast medication over the counter or the pill. I have seen on other websites that both can cause issues. When I called NR they could only comment on the Monistat, Miconazole-That it will increase the level of hormones-and it is safe to use. Now scientifically if the levels go high enough it can cause spontanious ovulation......but they could not comment on that. They had no information on Diflucan- the pill for yeast infections or its possible affect. How is it possible they do not know if common medications can cause you to potentially become pregenant or have other side affects. I now truly question if this company has did the research in shlud to be on the market.

I had a severe poison ivy/sumac reaction and slowly the swelling in my face reached the point of affecting my breathing, so I had an emergency treatment with Prednisone. This was my first experience with this drug. (I am not one to use allopathic medicine unless it's an emergency.) The first dose was shots, then I was put on a "med pak" of methylprednisolone, to be used for 5 or 6 days, tapering down the dosages day by day. By the third day, I began to find the side effects increasingly intense. I had had a mild headache, some chest pressure, funny bone aches, stomach/liver aches, as well as sensations of spacy-ness, floating feelings, difficulty focusing my eyes at times, and my attention, etc.; but the chest pressure was what worried me most. It was all on the left side. I eventually called the doctor because the pressure and discomfort was beginning to become severe each time I took a pill. He agreed to let me stop the prednisone. I had about 2 days left of tapering to one a day, but couldn't stand to take anymore. It was beginning to feel like a life or death situation! (My rash is flaring a little now, but not seriously. I am using alternative remedies as well, and things don't seem to be reversing to where they were, thankfully.) I had missed quite a bit of work, and did not feel like myself. Yesterday was my 2nd day off the pills, and I stayed home to work on flushing my system of the prednisone. I felt like I was going through withdrawal. Today I feel much more like myself. I know now that a lot of the "sickness" I was feeling wasn't just an allergic reaction to a plant--I was sick from the medicine as well. In fact, I think it was more the medicine than the poison ivy that kept me out of work. I appreciate the use of something like prednisone in emergency cases...it may have saved my life...but from now on, I'm going to do whatever I can to avoid having to ever use this drug again. It was clearly very damaging to my body. I hope I was able to eradicate it enough, and was not on it long enough to cause any permanent damage. I have not noticed any more pain in my chest since stopping the medicine. (I may, however, insist that my doctor run some tests to make sure there isn't damage, although the damage might not be something they could easily measure at this point. I have no history of heart problems, and a stress test a few years back came out great.) I would seriously encourage anyone who has to use prednisone more than a few days to look for alternatives, or insist (to your doctor) on alternatives (that hopefully won't be worse). This drug is VERY, VERY toxic and dangerous!! I'm very aware of how my body responds to what I put in it. A lot of people aren't as in touch with their body's responses, and may start on a roller coaster of treatments as things come up, not realizing that the problem may have to do with their medicine. I believe this is the case with a lot of the elderly who frequently end up taking pills to remedy the symptoms created by other pills! Good luck to everyone, and God bless us all!!!

I am 20 years old and have been on Advair 250/50 for 5 days. Already I am experiencing extreme fatigue, a sort of spacy, hypnotic feeling, anxiety, depression, mood swings, dry mouth, thick phlegm, constant throat clearing and it is ruining my life. I'm in a tap dance company and have not been able to perform even simple rountines. It has also placed a strain on my relationship with my boyfriend due to the mood swings, depression and increased irritability. I am harder to be around and he doesn't understand why. I am so glad I checked this site. I thought I was going crazy.

Took my first Ultracet about 2 hrs ago - I have spinal stenosis - the Ultracet made me feel really "spacy" - very weird and also nauseated - don't think I will be taking any more of this!

Just started taking Ultracet ~ so a piched nerve ~ made me feel spacy and

Thank God for this web site. I have been taking Lisinopril for about 2 months. I am 54 and have never taken any medication. I had tightness in my chest and my blood pressure was slightly high so the doc (Quack) put me on this thing. It cured the tightness and lowered my pressure. After about 6 weeks I noticed that I felt very weird in the mornings and it was hard to get going and I was very spacy. (Also my sex drive was diminished). It has been around 8 weeks and I stopped taking Lisinopril this weekend. I already feel less spacy and depressed and the slight headache is gone. I had to stay with my feeble mother to care for her this weekend so I called my crazy sister and told her I couldn't take the pill anymore. I told her it depressed me and I would rather die of a heart attack than take this pill. She thought I was down because I had to put up with my mother and she said I would feel like living after I left her house but now this web site has
confirmed that it was the Lisinopril. Thanks to everyone.

Urinating is slower, l feeling of thirst, spacy at times. Med going right in the toilet.

I was given this drug for a broken nose to take care of the swelling. I noticed that I was much more spacy than normal and also had some dizziness. I ended up having to get someone else to drive the first day I took a whole pill. Anyone else had this problem?

this has to be one of the weirdest drugs that a doctor has given me with no warning about the aray of side effects, I am feeling spacy and out of it and at the same time wired as all high hell. stomach hurts too. took this drug for three days before I found this site and I just took one half hour ago DAMIT! DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG!!! VERY VERY BAD!!!

well no you will not die i took 30 and hear i am , i felt happy for a while then real tired and dizy spacy

diahrrea, grogginess the next morning, felling spacy, nausea

I just started taking amibid today and I will stop taking it tonight. It has had very uncomfortable side effects on me. I have felt dizzy and very spacy. Also, it had some similar effects to a drug ectasy in as much as colors were vibrant, peoples' voices were very loud and seemed to come at me all at once. None of the other effects of ectasy like the feeling soooo happy but I did find myself thinking and saying things that you might say thinking things seemed very surreal at times and how much my friends meant to me. Some very strange things. Hopefully stopping it tonight won't be harmful but I just can't function like this.
