on mothers day 2012 i took a mucinex, just 1 tablet. about 2 hours later i started having a panic attack. i went to see my son who noticed i wasnt myself. he said it was like i was in la-la land. the anxiety continued, intensified, and became more frequent. 3 days later, i couldnt even move out of bed, felt like i was dying and just wanted it to end. my mom convinced me to go to the hospital, and being in my delirious state, forgot to mention taking the mucinex 3 days prior. they gave me 2 ativan and sent me one my way. i dont remember the next 5 days, but apparently it was bad. i got fired from my job for being extremely beligerant and saying some pretty messed up things to customers.(i was a server at a family restaurant.) the really scary part is im a single mom so i was alone with 2 small children and i dont remember a thing. apparently i drove with my children, i tried to run people in walmart over with a bycicle i bought my son for his 6th b-day. i still suffer from anxiety and rarely leave my house. my counselor and i found a site that listed anxiety disorder and seratonin disorder as rare side effects but strangely i can no longer find that article. my doc says symptoms disappear within 12 hours and i of course argued so am currently seeking articles to disprove him.

I have had some episodes where when having a BM I would have a vasovagal response. Severe migraine headache, sweating,extreme weakness, head pounding, and tightness in my neck. After two trips to the ER,I was hospitalized for 6 days recently because I have a family history of aneurysms. While in the hospital I went through an angiogram, 2 lumbar punctures, CT with & without contrast of my head, chest, abdomen and pelvis, everything came back normal. I had no episodes while in the hospital. Also while in the hospital they forgot to give me my Lovastatin and when I returned home I resumed it(thursday night) and had two episodes the following day(friday). I did not take it again until Monday night and had two more episodes the following day(today). Is there a possible problem with the lovastatin and my other meds or has my body built up an intolerance to it? I have an appt. with my Dr. tonight but would like another opinion. Thanks.
