Hi,I am new to this board so I'll start by saying hi to everyone on here. I am curious if others have had the same experiences with certain meds.
I am sensitive to quite a few medications, especially in the class of anti-psychotics. I have tried many for mood stabilization and/or sleep. When taking antipsychotic meds I have experienced: restless legs, muscle rigidity, anxiety and bad restlessness.
Recently I took Trazodone for sleep and after a few nights of taking it I got the muscle rigidity, especially in the back of my calves.
I also had an odd reaction to Vistaril. I experienced bad muscle rigidity and also a heavy feeling in my chest and throat.
When I asked my psychiatrist about it she told me Vistaril is an antihistamine and should have the opposite effect. I am really confused about this side effect I experience.
As a side note I overdosed on Seroquel a few years back and experienced the tight muscles for a few weeks after. I think I screwed up my body by taking the huge amount of Seroquel.
Anyway any opinion or personal experiences regarding this are welcome. Thanks.
