Interesting... Everyone knows that medication can effect each person differently. As of late Ive taken a plethora of meds and supplements for the head and chest cold (thats still lingering) and then the surgery I had. Of course you have to list off every single thing youve taken prior to surgery plus blood work so they can make a little bit more sure they dont kill you by some strange interaction with the meds to put you under. That being said I havent had any interactions despite the 10+ different things until last night. Ive been unable to sleep, probably due to all the meds as well as general worries and have been reluctant to take one more thing on top of what Im supposed to. So instead of a chemical sleep aid I tried Melatonin. I know it works great for a lot of people and there are a handful of other uses for it- all in a beneficial way. I have no idea why but it was one of the longest nights of my life. You know those dressing rooms where there are mirrors all around you and therefore ever expanding reflections of yourself forever? Thats what was happening with my eyes closed and then when I opened them again it would start all over. Any thought that came in my head repeated itself exponentially. Any sound rippled and it too would resonate and expand. I know what you are all thinking- hahaaaa you tripped out...are you sure it was melatonin....kid kid, ha ha, but it was honestly horrible. So moral of the story is that something that seemed so innocent just about sent me to the ER. Homeopathic or not you never know how you may react to something, let people know if you are trying a new supplement so if you have a reaction like I did you can get the help you need! And Im even more tired now. Ugh.
