@kmilstein your experience with side effects just reminded me of a time some years ago when I was prescribed something for anxiety or something - possibly also to help me sleep. After the first dose I woke up the next morning feeling so full of rage I could have punched whoever would have been in front of me (fortunately I was alone!). I had never experienced this kind of anger - for no reason at that - ever before! Needless to say, I refused to take any more of that medication! I wish I could remember the name …

A few weeks ago after a minor laser procedure on my eye I was prescribed Prednisolone eye drops to be taken two or three times a day for a week. After that first dose I experienced dizziness. It was bedtime so I figured it would pass by morning. In the morning I was still dizzy, thought it may be just temporary and decided to take the second dose, but that second dose made me more dizzy, to the point I couldn’t walk without holding on to anything within reach! Called the doctor’s office and left a message I am not taking any more of those drops!

As I have mentioned earlier, each body is different and reacts differently to the same medication. I guess these were my body’s reactions to these meds.

@rashida I didn’t see your message before. Thanks for your support. Yes, the rage is something I never quite felt before. I’ve been an angry person, but this is out of control! I am thinking of asking my doctor to take me off of it. I think that might be a good solution. I just don’t know what to get on and I’ve been switching around meds for a while now. My poor body. We need to be proactive right? All the best to you!
