I hate to be a burden on people and hate to sound like such an idiot but I'm having problems hadling my medication and not sure what to do. I can't handle taking it any more, I"ve been taking it for 2 weeks now and its just too much. I know maybe I should wait for it ito work but I can't. It's making me loos my memory if I wanna go out for a walk or something I have check 50 times to see if I have my keys, It's giving me ringing ears which is driving me mad, it's making me really dizzy yesterday I nearly blacked out, my face is totally red as if I'm allergic to it or something, and its making me extremely agitated and my eating is not getting any better. I've tride calling my family MD but he's away at a conference and the's no relplacement for me to see. I don't know if I should change my meds, stay off them for one night ( if i stay off them, I won't sleep), does anyone have any advice for me?I'm on Lophepramine ( not sure of the american name) I don't know what to do. I'm really sorry.

I think it would be a good idea to go to an urgent care center or an emergency room since your doctor is away. Those symptoms sound serious enough to do so. Or just go to another doctor soon if you can.

I have had ones that made me feel horrible and it can be hell to tolerate. I don't know what that med is you are on. I'm assuming it's an antidepressant. I hope you can get some relief.

Sorry for late reply curly. I have stopped that medication. I see my MD next week to see what other one would work.
