Yeah, it’s true. The meds I’ve been taking since ‘my episode’ having been making me feel crazy. Really, sometimes I feel like I’m losing it. Not to add that they make me gain weight. I gained a whooping 5 kgs just after 3 weeks. I can just imagine what I’ll look like after 6 months. The depression is slowly gaining on me.
I’ve been reading about the side effects of this drug and guess what I found out
- Dizziness
- Drowsiness
- Unsteadiness
- Nausea
- Vomiting.
- Hallucinations
- Depression
- Anemia or other blood disorders
- Unusual bruising or bleeding
- Increased infections or infections that do not go away
- Water retention, swelling, or difficulty breathing, which can be signs of congestive heart failure (CHF)
- High blood pressure (hypertension) or low blood pressure (hypotension)
- An irregular heart rhythm (arrhythmia)
- Yellowing of the whites of the eyes or skin (jaundice), which may be a sign of liver damage, including liver failure or hepatitis
- Difficulty passing urine or a sudden, unexplained decrease in urine production (which can be a sign of kidney damage)
- Low sodium levels in the blood
- Irritability
- Excessive tiredness
- Confusion
- Hallucinations
- Muscle weakness
- Muscle spasms or cramps
And my favorite, Suicidal thinking or behavior.
I wont lie, I’ve been experiencing quite a few of these side effects and I’m getting a lil bit concerned. There are more side effects in other websites but I think this is enough to worry about in one day…
