I went to the hospital thismorning I was having bad side affects from my new medication .The doctor said I probably am allergic to it,If there was a sideaffect I got it, I'm thinking of sticking with the med's I'm already on and just accept that this BP ain't going anywhere I just hope the side affects are'nt perminate!

I'm glad you went to the ER and that you aren't taking that medication anymore. Good luck with your pdoc and trying to find new medication.

I spent the night in the hospital last week. I thought my medications had stopped working because I was extremely agitated. Turned out I had amphetamine in my blood which could only mean one thing. The only amphetamine we have in the house is my grandsons adhd medication which looks similar to the geodon I take. I apparently had a total brain fuzz and took it by mistake.

I feel like your side affects will most likely go away since you stopped those meds. I wish you the best.

Hope your sideffect was nothing serious. Glad you went and seeked help with your symptoms. So now do you have to start another new med or are you going back on an old one?

Good for you for going to the ER. Glad that you are okay. I think the side effects will go away once it is out of you system.
