Confused Medication Problems

I am on a range of meds from Morphine Tarate to Zanaflex to sertaline and abily and others. Can these meds cause me to have a bad anger day or a day like I usually have sitting on the toilet for hrs or dry mouth (dehydration)?

Our resident drug expert is away on vacation at the moment Greedy, but I do have some limited drug knowledge myself. If you'd like to list all the medications you're taking, I'll see if any of them could be causing your problems.

If you'd prefer to send the list by personal message, then please do so.

i noticed about meds and pills having some side effects although it is really effective though. that is what makes me think of nothing taking any medicines anymore but rather i have to prevent any health complications by taking supplements and just eating the right kind of food, exercise as much as possible.

*edit*

Hi ~ Sertaline can cause diarrhea. It can also cause excitability and nervousness, but it doesn't say a thing about anger or outbursts. Zanaflex causes diarrhea AND constipation, plus nervousness and it causes dry mouth.
Abilify causes nervousness, constipation, diarrhea and dry mouth; MORPHINE causes AGITATION, dry mouth, constipation, diarrhea.

Perhaps Morphine is your culprit. It might affect you more severely than most people. You'd better talk to your doctor about it - he can switch you to something else that won't affect you like that.

Best of luck and God bless!! Hugs, Lee

Hi, For what it's worth, I took morphine in the form of MsContin and it made me so angry I was afraid to speak for fear of saying something mean. I remember one day I went to the store and they were out of milk. I was so angry I wanted to shot someone. This really is not like me at all. I stopped taking it after only 5 days because I could not stand how it changed my mood and personality.

I have had personality changes with Lyrica also.

Dry mouth is a problem for just about any medication I take.

I know we are all so individual, so what happened for me is just my 2 cents.
