Interesting afternoon yesterday

[Dave]

I have a serious rare illness called pulmonary chronic sarcoidisis, which screws up everything;

info here : http://www.ildcare.eu/Downloads/nieuws/Poster_Marjon_E.pdf

So i went to the doctors yesterday morning and he added 2.5mg of Lorazepm, to my 40mg of citralopram, [I also take prenisolone, and methotrexate]

Within a hour of driving home, I started to see double. I ended up clipping the wing miror of a parked van, taking the full front fender off the truck behind it, which popped both our front wheels, so I couldnt steer, o see, as y airbags came out, then piling headlong on into a silver car, which pushed it back through the railings up into its front garden.

No injuries, I just could understand how it happened. I was breathilised, hadnt been drinking, taken to local hospital, and i just sat there, watching as everyone who walked past, I could see in double.
It must have been the lorazepram he prescribed

Sounds like it was the prescription.
main thing is that you are ok, property can be fixed or replaced.

 

[TeeDee]

Sorry to hear you had an interesting day .

Did he not make mention of any possible side effects>?

I'll try and remember to have a look at Lorazepm in my BNF book.

 

[Dave]

No he didnt TD. The chmist asked if the doctor had mentioned anything about operating machinery or driving and I said no.

'Interesting' is one way to put it. That sounds horrible, both the effects and your crash. Sounds like a proper crash too, not a fiddly little nudge either. Glad you are ok after it.

I think my shiny new VW 4wd might be a write off.

Truth is I was completely detached from the whole thing. No excitment, nothing. even during the crash.
Just kept nodding off in ambulance. And sitting in the A&E, watching every walk past me in pairs.

 

[Teepee]

Wow! Sorry to hear that Dave. Glad your Ok from it though. Many symapthies for the vehicle. Sounds like a potentially difficult situation.

test test test

Hmm , thats interesting. I can;t post a link but if you goto

netdoctor and do a search on that drug the side effects may be worth having a chat with your Dr.

 

[petrochemicals]

I hate to say it but ; pictures or it didn't happen.

Mixing drugs is hazardous and before you decide that it was just simple, be careful that the doctor isn't making a mistake, it happens more regularly than you think, they are only human too, not infallible, aome medical concoctions are terrible, and some overdoses are not spotted.

I thnk I was slightly concussed, I only got this photo but I hit a van, scraping its side and knocking our wingmirrors off, and a truck, where i pulled off its entire front flank, then piled into this thing, and pushc]ed it bak through the raiiings to finally stop.



There were many yocals surrounding me with pitchforks. There was a pub at the top of the road whichi tried to reach, but the ambulance tracked me down before i could get there.

 

[rik_uk3]

2.5mg of Lorazepm is a pretty hefty dose in one go, no wonder you crashed. Glad your well.

 

[Goatboy]

Nasty stuff, can make you pretty dozy and slow reactions a fair bit. Though different things affect folk in different ways.

Glad you're OK and no-one was hurt. Hopefully get your car fixed up without too many problems.

Good luck,
GB.

When in doubt

[andybysea]
