Well group...here I am again

I have a new problem..I finally realized what it is. I noticed in the

hospital the last week I was in there. The doctor had given me sleeping

pills, so I could sleep of course. They made me wide awake, with no sleep.

A few nights ago, I took some nyquil and tylenol and some benadryl,

wow.....it made me wide awake and could not sleep. Well today mr flu bug

hit me...so I took some nyquil, vitamin c, some cough med and tylenol. Well

that was 5 hours ago. Before I took that stuff, I was so tired I could

barely stay awake, so I took it and went to bed. And when my head touched

the pillow.........new life came in me......I woke up.......wide awake. Now

5 hours later I still sit here not at all tired. Meds have never affected

me like this before. Of course the ones that are to make you drowsiy. Well

for me they very seldom ever did. But they didnt wake me up either. I even

turned on the electric toilet in hopes that that would put me to sleep, so

far no luck. In case you dont know....the electric toilet is the proper

term for television. Has this happend to anyone else? Before or after

anything in particular that you noticed?

My husband calls me an alien, because this very same thing happens to

me. Meds that are supposed to make me drowsy have me bouncing off

the

walls. Check the ingredients in some of the meds that you are

taking,

if it contains pseudoephedrine, that's probably the culprit. I'm

pretty sure it is in Nyquil, and is in some cough medicines.

Pseudoephedrine is a decongestant, and will speed up some people's

heart rates and make them restless, and sometimes irritable. It

all depends on what your body is sensitive to. Try to find a cold

medicine without the pseudoephedrine.
