Val I completely know what you mean. Thankfully with my anxiety medication I never had any serious side effects. If anything I felt more alert and focused and able to do stuff and 'get out in the world' so to speak.

With this medication that I'm taking for pain though it's rough. I not only googled but asked the doctor and nurses and even called and did the research and a lot of them say it varies from person to person and at most can take up to 6 weeks for the side effects to be over and from what I'm looking at, that seems to be the case as I have a dizzy spell every other day.

It worries my parents but the neurologist I have is one of the best in my city so I do trust him and he's been doing this sort of thing for a very long time.

My mom even considered getting a second opinion but that could end up messing with the treatment I have now as my neuro doc wants me on this medication as a form of pain management and then he's going to do some tests on my arm where he attaches electrodes to measure the nerves and muscles. Then take it from there.
