Stupor symptoms and conditions

I have been taking Ambien CR for a few months. At first it worked o.k. but now I am having bad side effects to it. I am walking around the house in a stupor, trying to talk to my family, slurring my words, acting like a drunk,cleaning the house, eating and not remembering any of it until my family tells me about it. They even think I am taking some sort of mind altering drugs because of my bizarre behavior. I don't like talking to someone and not remembering it. I am stopping this medication immediately before I do something to hurt someone while in a blackout!!

Hi, I have been reading all the postings and my heart goes out to everyone. I been there, done that. Myself, I have a seizure disorder and been on Lamictal since 2003 (I can't recall/remember) - I had tried 5 other seizure meds that didn't work for me. For quite a while now I take 600mg a day and Keppra 250mg to control my seizures. I lost my driver's license twice so far (I know that is the rule in CA) , and once not long ago (I got my license back) I got totally lost in my town, which I used to know like the back of my hand. I thought I had lost my mind. I asked my doc if I was getting demenia and he said oh no you are too young (53). I have also learned doctor's (for the most part) are idiots too. They don't think outside the box for us. I can't spell anymore, get depressed easily. I really want to work, but I can't. I have tried time and time again, but (yesterday) it just about did me in...people explained to me how to do things on the job many many times but I couldn't retain any thing. People just looked at me as if to say what planet did you come from. I cried on the job so hard I wanted to disappear. I am so sick of my family saying "I know you can't - don't remember this or that..... I can hardly bare that. Now I have a potential kidney problem. Suppose it is from these meds? I am really scared.

I was asked to take Effexor for fibromyalgia. I felt like a zombie and always in a drugged stupor w/ night sweats. The DR kept lowering the dose. One good thing about the Effexor is that my pulsatile tinnitus has mostly abated.

My doctor prescribed seroquel to me for my severe anxiety. I took one b/f bed and woke up feeling horrible. I could barely get myself out of bed, I was foggy brained and lethargic. I thought it would pass so I went about my morning routine, when finally it hit me I couldn't take it any longer. And it resulted in a Full blown panic attack!!!! I took my clonazepam and eventually after sleeping for a bit, felt better.
I threw the pills in the garbage, I will NEVER take them again. I'm so scared to try anything new, b/c of what happened after taking seroquel. However I'm running out of options:(

My son was prescribed Strattera for ADD. 25 mg for three days,
but when the dosage increased to 40 mgs, it was a nightmare.

This was the worst medicine I have ever had my 12 yr old son take. He lost his appetite, had insomnia for several weeks and behaved like he was in a stupor when he was awake.
I would NEVER EVER have him take this drug again and I do not
recommend it to anyone else.

Ten years on zyprexa and seventy pounds gained. Decided diabetes risk too high, tried to change to Geodon, horrible. Zyprexa has done me great good (no delusions, less paranoia, out of silent stupor) but after ten years I feel maybe my life and skills have progressed to point that I don't need it. Tried to go off it before but terrible physical side effects, ready to try again.
Think my very bad anxiety disorder is driving all other symptoms (including psychosis!) so will try antianxiety meds and then off to meditation. Ultimate goal: no meds.

I live in Israel, and here in this country not only do the police do their duty incorrectly, but so do psychiatric officials.
I was in a bad state emotional, and that did not result in any obscene or out-of-the-order matter, but me having chosen to move on with my life was a bad idea since moving on meant letting go and kicking out of my life a she-devil that posed as a girlfriend.
she had connections and accused me wrongfully of stuff i didn't do, and since she had friends in the police force, I ended up being admitted to a psychiatric hospital, there I was forced to take 10 mg of ZYPREXA, every day, for a little more than a month and a half, after a couple of weeks i developed a rash on my head, and vibrations with palpitations.
when i stopped taking ZYPREXA, the rash continued, the vibrations when i go to sleep with the palpitations continue but are even worse,
I cant sleep, and when i do fall asleep I wake up every hour, if lucky i sometimes manage to sleep for 2 hours and then only wake up, and i keep waking up until i give up on sleeping, i get headaches, nausea, dizziness, i eat, and after 30 minutes to 1 hour i go the the toilet and diarrhea..
my left eye sees blurry, i hear much less in my left ear, and not to mention that i have no tinnitus, - all day long i hear an electric pulse in my ears, i am disconnected from emotions, cant concentrate, my memory is impaired, i cant seem to make myself do anything, i cant even figure out what i am feeling, my teethes health has gone bad, get mood swings which are not extreme at all, resulting in me not knowing what it is I'm going through, i think this Zyprexa ordeal as resulted in multiple sclerosis which hasn't been diagnosed yet, and i don't know what more else there is, since i am quite handicapped mentally emotional and physically i can do stuff, but for some reason i don't do anything.
bad dreams (when i do manage to get several minutes of sleep), and i feel stoned all the time. and this is not all, but seriously, here in Israel or overseas, who really gives a damn? and who can help these things go away??..Ive been told to wait (I've been waiting a little more that 3 months) for all this to go away, and nothing as gone away, instead more things slowly gather.
too bad there is no death sentence here in Israel, if there was I might try to get it, to end this suffering, though, what can i say, even dying is not something I can manage to get myself to do, I cant seem to actually decide to do anything, I just think of it, and in the meanwhile, my whole life is passing in front of my eyes, making me realize, this might be the ending of my life as I know it, and all i have to do about it is just sit and wait, either for things to change (cause i cant change them), or to die.

I started taking 25 mg of Topamax in March 2006, slight reduction in migranes. July 1 neurologist increased meds to decrease migranes weekly to max of 100 mg, 2 weeks later and until this day, my problems have been horrendous. It has taken me 6 weeks to realize that they are due to the topamax. Extreme pain in lower left side, bladder infection like symptoms without an infection; walking around in a stupor; feel flu like, unable to think clearly; naseau; can not get out of bed; missed a week of work because I felt so unwell. I am slowly going off the topamax, although the urologist states "there is no correlation between your pain and the meds"; and it took two calls to the neurologist before anyone would listen to my plight. How long will it take to get this poison out of my system. I would rather have migranes every day than feel like I have been changed into an entirely different person emotionally and so unwell physically that nothing else matters. I was working two high pressure jobs, ready to complete another degree, and functioning a completely normal pleasant life with my family and friends. Topamax has taken care of diminishing all of this for me. My credibility in a position where I must think clearly and responsibility in my family where I am depended upon for much are sorely effected by this horrid medication. I believe it is very interesting that the side effects for migrane patients vs. those who take it for epilepsy and seizure are as different as night and day -- but it's the same medication. Kind of like me pre and post Topamax medication!!!!!

I've been on Doxycylcine for roughly a week for a sinus /cold infection. These past few days my symptoms seem to be gone but I'm left feeling like I am in a stupor state as well as confused. I noticed the side effects stated if you have symptoms of this nature discontinue using product and contact your doctor. Hopefully beginning tomorrow these feelings of confused state will disipate.

I started dating a guy that takes neurontin, thus the reason I am researching this drug. He is taking it for mood swings and a.d.d. He doesn't take it constitently. He takes various doses depending on the circumstances (sometimes he takes it like a party drug and he drinks). I can tell right away when he has taken a higher dose. He is lethargic, he drools, he is off balance, and actually seems somewhat slow (mildly retarded). I know he is intellegent, however, this drug is making him into a person that he should not want to be. I don't know if I can continue a relationship with someone that seems to be drugging himself to a complete stupor.
He said he was going to cut down to one pill, three times a day, however, I think he is having a very difficult time doing that. He is very addicted to his MEDS as he calls them. This drug seems to be destroying his life and he doesn't even know it.
He continually has to urinate, has a low sex drive and he experiences stomach problems along with back problems. This is the only drug that he takes. After what I have seen I wouldn't prescribe this to my worst enemy.

I'm a 59 year old female with all kinds of medical problems, including those which would cause me to take lipitor. They've also now put me on a cholesterol blocking agent. I have the leg, joint and back pains. Recently, however, I've begun to do some alarming things, such as forgetting to pay at the checkout counter,not being able to focu, forgetting where I'm going and why I'm going to a place. I feel like I'm in some sort of stupor. At first I thought it was low blood suger. Lately, however, it happened and my blood sugar was normal. I, too have sores in my mouth and under my tongue.

I am on Day 3 of a 7-Day treatment with 500mg of Levaquin This treatment is for asthma related breathing and coughing issues .So far , hot flashes, headaches , nausea, back muscle pain, leg muscle quivers, and a feeling like Im drunk or in some type of stupor; or fog........hard to concentrate and focus on anything for more that 2-5 seconds. Wheezing is back , even after Ventolin treatment .

The good news is it helped me stop coughing so I could sleep. The bad news is that is depresses appetite (which might be good if it felt good) and makes me feel like I'm in a stupor with very low energy.
