Medication effects everyone differently. Dash gets sleepy from a lot of medications. I don't usually get sleepy but I get loopy.
My definition of loopy is as follows:
I find myself not remembering whole conversations (usually not a problem.)
Some conversations never happened.
So I guess that means I'm more forgetful
I can have what seems like a clear moment followed by haze.
I think I took too much meds yesterday, I was talking a lot faster then I usually do. (Or at least I felt the speed of my talking more then I usually do and my brain was saying --slow down--but my tongue just kept going!)
Loopy.
Maybe it's a choice I make. Maybe I see this as an opportunity to not have to think as much and not have to be as responsible for a little while? I don't think it's a conscious choice, but maybe somewhere I figure it's okay to be a little less together if I'm on the medicines? I have decided (because I don't like being drugged too much) to start slowing down my meds down today. I will take only 1 pill instead of 2 for pain and I will go longer then the recommended dosages. Prior to surgery I was taking 1/2 a pill if I needed it and I was not doing that even everyday. They say the stuff I'm on can be addictive, but I have never gotten a "buzz" from it, so I don't have a drawing to keep taking it just for the heck of it. I figure a little pain might keep me from over doing it anyway and I tend to have a high pain tolerance. Always have. N does too. We're weird that way.
So loopy today, sane tomorrow? Well, we'll shoot for "not as loopy" and hope that gets achieved anyway! :)

Unfortunately, you weren't talking fast yesterday...that's why I kept saying I better let you go get some rest since you sounded sleepy...lol!
But you haven't experienced anything until they put you on morphine...and you think its opium!!!
Your definition of loopy sounds like me on a normal day. Just learn to hide it and feel content. :)
The two times I have come out of surgery I was sick for the next day. I don't react well to the meds.
dash has decided that I can't lower my dose until after this weekend. He said I have all next week to slow down on the meds that this weekend I have too much going on.
