Somethings Wrong With Me?

hey,its kimber.I have been off lortabs for over 2 weeks. I woke yesterday to find that my face felt weird. its like my jaw is tight and im bearing down my teeth tight.my husband noticed my face,mouth looked different.he said its my facial expression that im closing my lips and mouth different, that i look retarded.i have been stressed out to the max lately, and i know im still trying to get chemically balanced.i have some tingling in the right hand today.its scary, and i didnt know if anyone had heard of anything like this?
Hopefully someone will be along to give you some advice or opinions. I have no clue what that could be from. If it doesn't get better or it's bothering you I would see a doctor ASAP.
Congrats on 2 weeks clean. Take care! Rae
are you taking any other medications ... specifically anything new... I did this on geodon... I took benedryl and that was it... course i cant take that med anymore but.... and I have seen some people have that type or reaction to meds like compazine and toradol.... just wondering....

Teresa....

I would try some benedryl in the short term.. but then consider going to the er.... esp if you are having trouble breathing or swallowing.... (this advise is not to be substituted for the advise of a professional..)
no, im not taking any new meds.just luvoux, which i have been on for years to help me not go back to being an anerxic.my husband said im falling apart and he doesnt know what to do with me.(im like, ok why dont u just kick me why im down?) i hope that its just stress and not a stroke or something.i have miral valve prolapse, but thats commom after having eating disorder.im wondering if not having the lortab is making my body shut down?i dont know, things just look low right now. thanks for any info..
Hi Kimber, my son is on adderol and he says it makes him clench his teeth. (those are my words, he actually says he puts his teeth together too hard) He doesn't do it much anymore though, that was more in the beginning. I'm curious too, are you taking any other medications that might be causing that? If not and it continues I think I'd get checked out by a Dr. I didn't have any symptoms like that related to coming off opiates and I've never read anyone here talk about it. Good luck, love, Kat
oops, sorry we were posting at the same time, didn't see your reply to Teresa.
Hi Kat the reason for your son doing that is because adderal is a amphnimine I know I spelled that so bad)anyways speed.

Kimber I would if it was me at least call my dr if you have one.Whatever it is sounds scarey & you must be scared yourself.I think that would be your best bet.It may be nothing or it may be something but either way its better to find out.....mj
Kimber,
Call you doctor or go to the ER......What you describe could be lots of different things.....With the mitrol valve prolapse and just coming off the pills I wouldn't take any chances......
Good luck and I hope you get an answer soon,
Love,
Tina
The symptons you just described sound stress related to me but I would follow up with my family dr. just to make sure. Telephone the nurse to see if the Dr. wants you to come on in to get it checked out.
my doc isnt in today and my husband says he will not take me to the er for this is not a real problem.he jus thinks im nuts.im jus scared
I would suggest a Dr visit as well, as it could be bells palsy, (and it could be temporary)

Regards,
Tom
