NyQuil and mood changes?!
Question:
NyQuil and mood changes?
I had been taking NyQuil for about 3 months every day to sleep. I noticed that for me, after about a week, I started not only having physical problems (sleep paralysis), but also I seemed to stop caring about people's feelings, getting agitated easily and I stopped enjoying the company of most people.
I had worked up to 2 doses at a time MAX because it stopped working for me at 1 dose. I stopped 3 weeks ago, but haven't been able to get more than 3 hours of sleep/night without it.
Yesterday I took it again so I could sleep and had the same behavioral symptoms. Is this typical?
Answers:
Well I read your other question about thinking about drinking and you seem like a very smart girl. You have become addicted to the nyquil because it is full of alcohol and now you are thinking about drinking constantly. Right now while you are able to deny yourself, you need to get an appointment with your doctor TOMORROW. Get on the computer and look up alcoholics anonymous and call them. Do not give into the temptation. It will probably not take you as long to detox off of the nyquil since you haven't done it for too long. You need to do yourself a favor and do not take any drugs. You can do without sleep tonight, go to your Dr. tomorrow.
