I'm a male. This happened around 1993. I was 38. I was looking for relief from allergies that spring and took Nasalcrom. Within a few days I had problems on the right side of my face. That side didn't work. My eyelid wouldn't open and close on its own, the right side of my lip wouldn't move. My speech was affected. I would slur words. When I would drink or eat liquid or food would dribble out of my mouth. I went to a doctor and he told me I had Bells Palsy and to let it runs its course. I had it for about a month.

I am tapering my methadone dosage down 2mg every week. I am suffering from lots of anxiety and irritability from the lower dose each week. I don't know what to do. I want to be sure that my suppliments or the buspar are not making things worse rather than better. I do not use any illegal drugs or prescription drugs other than previously mentioned.
