Interesting. Some side effects, but not bad.

[ThomCat]

Well, I took the new medication. I posted about it in This Thread if you are wondering what I'm talking about.

So far, I have a minor headache and the room is spinning. Both are common side effects. I'm cool with that. If this is all that happens tonight then I'm worrying for nothing and it'll be a good night. :)

I'm not going to be getting up from this chair for a little while. Hopefully the room will stop spinning long enough for me to get to bed.

I'm not used to needing the crutches or cane in the house. I can walk short distances without any support if I have a wall or furniture to lean on. But I think I'm going to use my crutches tonight. My balance is going to absolutely suck when I try to stand up.

1. Maybe it will have passed by the time you get up n/t

[ThomCat]

2. It should.

Lightheaded is getting worse, but not unpleasant. My speech is getting slurred a bit. I'm talking to my cats and I can hear it.

Still just minor side effects. And after I've taken a med for a few weeks the minor side effects tend to go away entirely. It's all good. :)

3. Be careful getting around the house tonight

:hi:

Do side effects like these usually disappear?

[ThomCat]

5. By morning they'll be gone.

I'll only have them at night when I take this stuff, and after a week or so I probably won't have any side effects at all.

7. So far, so good?

Heh...I'm dizzy under the best of circumstances. You kinda get used to it.

:crazy:

Use your crutches...whatever you have to do to be safe.

:hug:

Keep us posted.

8. I will.

I'm getting very dizzy and very tired.

9. You would not hesitate

to call 911 if the side effects became dangerously severe, would you?

[ThomCat]

10. No. I have my phone with me just in case.

I'm going to bed. I can barely keep my eyes open. I'm fighting to keep them open. Fuzzyheaded. And I have the worst cotton mouth. x(

I will check in first thing in the morning so people know I'm okay. :)

[Control-Z]

11. That's good to know

Take it easy on your way to bed. Sleep well.

12. so long as your not an old fart

theres nothing wrong with crawling around on all fours if the situation calls for it

[ThomCat]

13. Very true.

:)

If it came to that, I'm no stranger to the floor.
