drowsiness from meds?




my doctor uped my meds and i’m incredibly drowsy. i can’t stop taking the meds b/c they are anti-seizure and i’ll (obviously) seize without them.
Anyone have any "anti-drowsiness" remedies? I’m already taking a multivitamin.
thanks

How can I deal with/cure my insomnia?




I’m seventeen and living with chronic daily migraines. Because of this, my sleep cycle is completely out of whack. Usually I fall asleep around 6 or 7 in the morning and wake up around 3 or 4 in the afternoon. Lately, however, I haven’t been able to sleep at any time of the day, no matter how tired I am. As you can imagine, this isn’t allowing me to be very productive during my waking hours, and it’s wreaking absolute havoc with my head. I’m not willing to try sleeping aids–I’m already on too many meds as it is. What other ways can I handle this?

I don’t know if anyone on here would know much about this. But are there any foods that can cause a bad mood? I have bipolar disorder that does not respond well to medication, so I do not take any meds. So I want to know what foods should be avoided if any.
My doctor knows I am not on meds, so please DON’T LECTURE ME ON THAT!!

I’m very sick with pneumonia, and I’m having to pump and dump every 1 1/2 to 2 hours to keep my supply up. I can’t feed my daughter breast milk because of the prescriptions I’m on. My supply is starting to dwindle due to the strong antihistamines and other meds I’m taking. So how can I keep my supply strong while I’m very ill and on strong medication?

I had my levels checked Friday and they found that they were high and told me to stop taking my meds until they run more tests on Monday. I had been having only three symptoms of the toxicity, and they were: nausea, tremors, and drowsiness. The tremors are gone, but the other two are still there and it’s been almost three days of me drinking tons of water and taking it easy. I’m wondering if this is normal or if I should go to the hospital.

I’m on a 10 day course of Augmentin (antibiotic) right now, but it seems like my right eustachian tube is clogged up. I would like to get some temporary relief with over the counter meds.

Does anyone know if decongestants and antihistamines can even be used in conjunction with antibiotics safely? Maybe you even know which OTC meds to take for this?

I keep seeing on the back of over the counter sleeping pills having this label: don’t take if being treated for depressive. Why is that? Do sleeping pills have effect on meds for depressive?

Can I take Ambien 20mgs after taking Percocet 15mg?




I was prescribed Ambien 20mgs today. I also had back surgery not long ago and take Oxycodone 15 mgs twice a day. (Both prescribed by same dr.) I took the Oxycodone at 6am and again at 1pm. Is it safe to take the Ambien around 8 or 9pm? Has anyone else ever been on these meds?

Bipolar Disorder?




To those with bipolar disorder. If you have it does it mean you will have to take drugs for the rest of your life? My brothr’s doctor told us he will take it only for 3 years, however 3 years passed and now he’s saying he will have to be on some kind of meds for the rest of his life. He was off the meds for like 5 weeks, and he was fine, but now he prescribed him someting else. I don;t want him to take it anymore. They are killing his spirit.
He was off the drugs for like 5-6 weeks and he was fine. Why he took him back on them?
