side effects of pills ? Posted: 05-18-08 14:44pm


I was at a party and was wasted and got talked into doing pills! I do not know what they where I for got. I remember hereing some one say their like vicoden and i remember hearing some one say their for sycotic people. I took 2 or 3. I was drunk and took the pills around 3-5am. Then went to bed at 6am and got up at 8am and left and went to my house. Then went down to the quad shop and b4 i test drove one I remember feeling light headed as i walked up to it like a fainting like feeling. Ended up buying the race quad. Then got home and slept from about 1pm till 5pm. Sat on the computer till like 8:30pm then my friend picked me up. Then we left and on the way to his house we where talking about the night b4 and laphing about it. The more I laphed the more tingly I got. I kept rubbing my face cause it felt funny as did my hands and stomic and feet and legs. My face hands and stomic felt the most numb and tingly. Where laphing about stuff and I started feeling almost like I was getting high as I laphed about stuff and my friend was laphing at me cause i seemed high but i dont think i was cause i was acting perfectly normal b4 he came. I was getting a lil hot to. We get almost to his house and I couldnt bairly move my face and my hands where stiff and looked cramped and I could not move them at all which scared the crap out of me not to mention my face being numb and i dont know if i could move it or not but my friend said i didnt look good. So i was flipping out thinking somthing bad was happning. We pulled up to burger king cause my friend wanted food didnt really care about me! Then hes like give me the 5 dolars which was in my pocket. I tried to put my hand in my pocket and im like I cant!!! I tried and couldnt do it so my friend had to take the money out of my pocket. Then I tried to calm myself down and the tingling and feeling started coming back once i started to calm down. First I could feel my face and then my hands started working a little which helped calm me down more and then few minutes later I had all movment back and was tingling alot less. Went to my friends sisters house sat their for 20 mins and I was getting like hott flashes and still feeling a lil tingly. We left went to my house again. I layed on my bed and relaxed and all the tingling went away. Now today im still a lil shaky specially in the hands but im thinking it cause im still woring and havnt ate much in the last day and a half cause i feel a lil hungry but food looks and tast grose to me right now which alot of pills do. Does it sound like it was just from low blood pressure from the pills? This is what some one said on another mesage bored to me. downers --> lower blood pressure laughter --> lower blood pressure lower blood pressure --> lower blood supply lack of blood supply --> tingling and numbess lack of blood supply --> loss of motor ability

Hi, I remember yrs ago I was prescribed anti psychotics and they had funny side effects on one particular day. My mouth started twithching really badly. It was bizarre. I was so afraid. Had you mixed them with something?? I had at the time and I feel thats why i had the side effect. Anyhow. I wouldn't worry too much about it if I were you. I didn't have that perticular type but another type called respiradone. If you're worried I'd suggest going to see you gp but i'd say you'll be right in a couple of days.

Well when i posted this it was saterday. It happened again tuesday and on wensday on my way to the doc My hands and arms started tingling but was only mainly my hands and arms this time and then it started going away once i was in the hospitle. They did blood and pee test and found nothing. Now i need to see a nuroligest.
The doc cutt off blood flow to my arm and the same thing happened as when the tingling happens on its own. My fingers piled on top of each other and I couldnt move my hand

I just had a quick look at a site containing info on side effects of anti pschotics ( just google Anti psychotics side effects) and it said that some side effects are stiffness like you said you had. It goes on and explains a whole lot more too. It also stated that the side effects can last for up to two weeks.
