I call it "fuzzing out or being "fuzzed out." As a life-long hypoglycemic (diagnosed at age 11) who raised 2 hypoglycemic children, I have a wealth of hints on hypoglycemic management. I would be glad to post or e-mail some of them if your interest runs in that direction.Others on this board will have to address the Rx issues that you raised, but I do know that both stress and stimulants can exacerbate hypoglycemia in those prone to it. Can you make a temporal connection between Rx ingestion and symptom onset(usually 2-4 hours post)?
Your symptoms are very familiar to me, but I know you have a lot going on now and this may not be very high on your priority list. Best wishes--
medlibP.S. I wrote the above when you first posted about a.m. nausea but didn't submit it because it wasn't directly responsive and I'm feeling very..tentative lately. Sorry if it's not on target.
