Ruby Red Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 I woke up 20 minutes ago. My heart was racing, I was sweating, I couldn't stop shaking and I was nauseas like you wouldn't believe. I just finished throwing up a whole lot of bile and my heart is no longer racing, but 'fluttering' and I still can't stop shaking. I'm freezing cold but it's supposed to be a warm night here. Is it the Epilim and Fluoxetine clashing? Or just severe side effects from on or the other? I can't find any information about if these two drugs interact badly and I can't contact anyone about it because it's 5:30am. I can't call the doctor who prescribed them to me later today either because it's Saturday and she doesn't work on weekends. I just want to know if this will pass, if I should keep taking the meds or if it's something more serious. I've never had side effects like this with any drug. It doesn't feel normal but I might just be overreacting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zomby Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 did you just start taking both these drugs? what are your doses? i guess eplim is called depakote here. it sounds like youve had a terrible time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruby Red Posted October 30, 2009 Author Share Posted October 30, 2009 I started taking them three days ago at the same time, which may have something to do with it. I'm taking very small doses so I am kind of bewildered as to why my body is reacting like this - 400mg of Epilim and 10mg of Fluoxetine. The doctor wants to increase the doses weekly, to do it slowly, and I hope that this doesn't just get worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zomby Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 are you sure its the meds that made you sick? did you get sick the first 2 nights also? if it was me and i was sure the meds made me barf like that then i would have trouble with taking the next round of pills until i could talk to the doc. im on fluoxetine (prozac) and ive taken depakote before and ive never had such a bad reaction from them.

Ruby Red Posted October 31, 2009 Author Share Posted October 31, 2009 No, I didn't get sick the first two nights but I was told that side effects can come and go at random times, or maybe I just ate something bad...who knows. Anyway I'm feeling ok now, still a bit nauseas but nothing compared to before. If the same thing happens again tonight then I'll talk to the doctor on Monday.
