allergic reations
by christelb, Jul 03, 2009 10:24AM
I asked my doctor to help me find out what was causing me to gain weight and not be able to loose. I work out at a gym 3 days a wk for 2 hrs sometimes more and not an ounce is lost. So she took blood and the same day gave me adapex, along with my normal scrpits of ambien and mirapex. So doctor knows best right? I go home read warnings nothing to indicate anything bad for me. I start taking meds as stated on the bottle faithlfully for a week during which I get a major head ache for three days (one of side effects) figured fine it will go away, and it did, next my daughter asked me what was wrong with me. I asked why she said you are not yourself you are not talking you just sit there. I didn't notice a change then on the 7th day I had a major melt down hives uncontrolable crying, the feeling of being lost major uncontrolable shaking. My friend came over and she told me I was having an allergic reation to the meds. I stopped taking adepex that day.
My question is what can I do to get this mess out of my system I still have shaking and minor flux's in mood?

Adipex should be out of your system within days after discontinuing it. Please discuss your shaking and mood changes with your doctor as well.
