Increased sensitivity to all medications.

Is there anything that can cause medications to suddenly have an increased effect on someone? like both good and bad effects? and like All medications? I have hyperesthesia and OCD, and I recently had to lower all the medications I take to practically nothing and it feels exactly the same as when I used to take higher dosages. Then recently I got my first corazone shot and it was so overwhelming that I fainted almost seconds after getting it and was stuck twitching on the floor for fifteen minutes and barley able to move. apparently one of the doctors first female patients to faint from such a thing. Things like this didn't have such a pronounced effect even as short as two years ago. Is this something I should be worried about, or is it normal for someone approaching 25 years old?

To be honest, I think this may be perceived rather than what is going on.  I haven't noticed any of this.  Are you still doing good without your ocd medication?  Sometimes that has a long half life and will stay in your system for a bit after you discontinue it or tapering down in dose.  How are you feeling now?
