Hi Philipa
I decided to start the medication yesterday. After a couple of hours I started feeling really weird, like my body was having a weird experience, like when you just wake up from a long sleep. That freaked me out a little bit.
I started feeling my heart going at an odd pace as well as my breath.
Then I could feel a metallic taste in my mouth and I could sense a strange smell, like my whole body was going trough a chemical reaction.When I got home after around 5 hours my pupils where totally dilated an even now after almost 24 hours I can still fell the booze in my head.
This is serious stuff and I don’t think my doc has any idea about what he was putting me into. If this whole experience was only with 37.5mg of the medication I can’t imagine what 150mg would do to me.
I will have a conversation with my doc about it but I have to say that I don't trust him that much anymore. Am I being dramatic? I think the last 24 hours where quite scary
I have decided not to take it. I feel like I would be putting my whole system on a really stressful situation.
There has to be something else.
