Thank you both very much for your help. I truly appreciate it!

Esk> My first reaction to the medication, that my family and friends have learned to recongize is drowsiness. Severe drowsiness, to the point where I don't eat and I am nearly impossible to wake up. If no one is there to wake me up, I don't. I was asleep for three days straight before my fatherfound me. He found me on the floor of our living room sleeping when he came home. The bed felt too far away, so I just crashed on the floor.

Next comes stuttering. This symptom has the longest onset, and takes me a few weeks to control. The best was I can describe it is that the words I'm looking for don't come to mind, so I am stuck on the previous word until my mind processes the next.

Confusion, I couldn't tell you who the president was or what season we were in. I was completely out of touch with reality.

Mania, once I was up from sleeping, I literally could not control myself. I was talking extremely fast, running around the house nad becoming overly excited about random things. ("Oh my god, this blender! This blender is amazing!" Is the line my dad always teases me with)

Depression, I would just as easily fall and begin crying to no end about people around me hating me. Family, doctors, friends, I was convinced everyon hated me.

The only long term (and what we suspect to be permanent) effect I have had is double vision. My neurologist was a little concerned about my reaction time, but other than that everything cleared away.

Hope that helps!

Larry> So far, I have three medications land me in the hospital, and one they got under control before the reaction became too severe. Celexa (an SSRI inhibitor) -this was the most severe reaction- the second was tramadol, and the last was an antibiotic (who's name escapes me). The antibiotic was the greatest controversy, but my reaction was still there and my neurologist claims that although lightly is does increase serotonin. My roommate caught this reaction in it's beginning stages, and the hospital injected me with some sort of benadryl shot.

Thank you for your advice Larry, I do apprecaite it! And I plan to take it as well.
