It seems all the meds they used to hit me with to knock me out messed with my body. The culprit is probably Clorprixil as I hadn't had it other nights I couldn't sleep.

Good news is I slept five hours then about 8am nearly fainted and slept another hour or so. Feel fine now but a bit frustrated as I won't be able to take the same meds to sleep tonight. See my pdoc in an hour and will see what he says.

Drinking plenty of water. BP just prior was 100/77, then it must have spiked. All seems fine now. Thanks.

It was the Clopixol i think, nothing else had changed. My doctor hasn't come in which leaves me a bit stuffed for the weekend. Oh, well, who needs sleep anyway.

I either had seizures or passed out/fainted twice while taking ability. First time I fell into my sliding glass door and broke it and the second time I was holding my small dog and passed out on the concrete of my garage. Fainting is so dangerous because if you hit your head the wrong way, it's not good.

I'm sorry that happened and hope you have gotten rid of the offending substance. (((Hugs)))

Wow, that sounds scary. I hope it wasn't the Abilify for me as I am still taking it. To be honest a doctor hasn't even evaluated me yet...pretty poor I know. Will be coming with questions when I see my pdoc on Monday. So, no, I have no ***in idea which drug it was but the best bet is Clopixol. It has been stopped and I have been fine so, oh well.

Sorry to hear that. That must've been scary! I can relate to the dizziness because of Abilify. Definitely not fun. At least you're okay now.

Damn! Abilify used to make me dizzy, too. I'm not surprised you fainted twice while taking it.

The serious dizziness disappeared for me after about 4 weeks, but it was tough waiting it out. I'm surprised I even continued to take it, but all is well now (thankfully). I don't think most people can wait it out, so I don't blame you for getting off the drug. I could have gotten seriously hurt, but I guess I was very fortunate/lucky.
