Well, peeps, hang on cause this will be a lulu! OK, neuro gave me two scripts one of which is COGENTIN and know my drugs, I knew what it was yada yada. My reg Dr since I had to stop my MIRAPEX put me on PROZAC to assist.
Well, between the walking backwards in big circles, talking weird stories to my husband as I doze off. FOR EXAMPLE: He was watching tv and I kept telling him I wrote that letter. Of course he's going what letter? and I said THAT LETTER pointing to the guy talking on the tv.
EXAMPLE: Again he was watching tv and I kept telling the people in the store as I hold up my huge frog by one leg, "THERE's NOTHING HERE TO FIT MY FROG. Yep, great meds.
Now I've been on them 1 month and ready to explode like my insides are in earthquake mode and phoned neuro and told what's happening and I'm off both new meds. People, I know I come off as goffy at times but when you start having fits in your sleep yelling about your frog's wardrobe it's time to change the meds. However, the frog was quite lovely and I kinda miss him. sniff sniff. May he rest in peace until they give me a new drug. LOL

Sounds scary!
Have you heard of requip... its for restless leg and parkinsons but I think it also helps with the FM. I've been on Mirapex, lyrica and neurontin. Haven't had to try congentin but I know what you're saying about that. It makes me nauseated and a little dizzy but I wouldn't trade it for any of the others at this point.
Maybe, just maybe what we ALL NEED is some cold milk and 5 Oreo cookies!
And I LOVE the idea of the milk and Oreos...yummy!!!!
Oddly, I had been praying that God help me to control my mouth and not say things I shouldn't, hmmmmmm, can't say anything when you stutter, mostly shake a shaking head yes or no and if lucky speak it. LOL
I'm blessed I know, really though it's amazing how God delivers lessons & messages.
Also, it is handy for quiet time alone because soon as people hear the stuttering, they run for the hills as it takes a lifetime to get out my answer! ROFLOL
Hugs to all.
In your case though, bec your situation is so extreme, you HAVE to be on meds. I sure hope they can get to the bottom of this and get you to where you are your usual loopy self, but back to normal otherwise
love ya
lol
