Scared, confused, side-effects?

My mood is mildlly down.  The heart medication I'm having gives me a headache, although less than before, and I find concentration and accuracy very hard and tend to mis-read and mis-type things.  At the moment I also misinterpret things I see out of the corner of my eye.

It is a couple of other things that are really getting to me though.  I've been doing a lot of printing and interprest the sound of my printer and random repetitive words.  Last night in bed I kept getting random repetitive words and pictures coming into my mind, which was racing - pictures of beans, brians, the word Berlioz, nothing rational.  It was scary.

It that has changed are the new meds -isosorbide mononitrate-and a flu jab.  If I were truly diagnosed as bipolar, I would say I was in a mixed state.  I fear becoming psychotic as it verges on hearing voices.

Does anyone else get this?

The headache sounds right for that drug.  It generally goes away in a week or ten days.

Don't know about the hallucinations, though...........
