the medicine is worse than the sickness!

I thought it was an antibiotic the Dr gave me.  It is Donatal which is Bella Donna and a phenbarbitol drug.  It is supposed to "relax" my intestines.  There is a 2 1/2 page small print warning booklet.  Sheesh!  it says "may cause dizziness."  It is making me really loopy and I can't take it.  I could never get drunk or do drugs because I could never deal with the feeling that I was not in control of my body.  This is why I suffer so bad with the panic attacks.  And it almost feels like a panic attack.  And now I am constipated on top of everything else.  and starting to come down with a cold.  (sneezing/sort throat/headache).
I tossed and turned all last night so I did not sleep great, although I was in bed almost 10 hrs.  I have to call the Dr's office and get off this stuff.  I feel fine until I eat.  A few minutes after I eat is when my intestines get uncomfortable. 
Thank God I have been able to work from home all week. 
On a hopefully positive note, I am trying to help my mom find a puppy.  Tibetan Terrier.  3 breeders responded and puppies are $2000!  So I contacted a rescue yesterday. 
Eating is obviously not great this week, low calories.  NO exercise at all this week.  Praying to be back to myself.  I most likely won't go bowling tonight.
