Paradoxical reaction to a drug could be defined as:
Correct answer: The opposite of what one would expect

My life is a paradox...

My wife gets wide awake when she takes benydril and sleepy when she drinks coffee.

To truly understand the effects of new drugs, please be in close contact to the doctor who prescribed it. Read all info about the new drug. Be aware of possible side effects. Just because the FDA passed a drug doesn't make it safe for everyone. Please use common sense, try innovative solutions, like ice for pain, before popping an opiate. Good luck to all.

interesting, people react different from the same medications, because everyone has a different what I call systems. my information is from personal experience and living, lastly exposed to many people 😜

RushMama2112, the list of side effects is so long because if only 1 person in the clinical trial develops a symptom it has to be listed even if there were a large number of participants.

Player #1953575, edibles are WAY different than smoking weed. I know someone who had a reaction similar to yours - accelerated heart rate, paranoia, disconnected. Was supposed to help combat insomnia - major fail! Said it was also dehydrating.
Hope you recovered well (my friend did and now refuses all marijuana)

Player. Ty, Drugs work differently on each person. My friend can pop allergy pills and stay wide awake.I take same pills and have to lay down and sleep.

reclusivesavyigloo, Benedryl makes me itch. Took it for years and then it started to make me itch.

quiltgirlgamer, Sound advice. If you are using any medication study up on it. Read the CMI (Consumer Medication Information) and any other information you can find.
Even common meds such as aspirin and paracetamol can be lethal if misused.

I knew this as I have this issue with some medications. I found out when taking a medication for stress and it made me more stressed out.

antidepressants can have the side effect of making you more depressed 😔

Anti inflammatory meds give me inflammation in the stomach, which can make me vomit all the time for ages.

reclusivesavyigloo, coffee does not make me sleepy, but it doesn't wake me as people say they drink it for example to study. I used to drink it and would fall asleep on my books during univ. tests
Sapien
reclusivesavyigloo, I am allergic to Benadryl as well as almost every medication, I also fall asleep with coffee, and prednisone also puts me to sleep
Brandy

Cozzy 25,
What!! Make those kids suffer horrendous withdrawals on ritalin just because they are teenagers? Where do you think the teenage suicidal rate is coming from???

Pharma companies warm billions Off people Who take their drugs. I Had to Quiz Yoga class since a crazy Psychiatrist, Anna Wachtel, kept following me around to prescribe her drugs. She was very tenacious!
Fun guy
true, read the Pharmaceutical compendium; you'll learn more than you wanted to know.
Player #25874027
If drugs such as Ritalin and Adderrall are used to get that specific effect then surely in those cases it can’t be paradoxical

Davy, Livingston,
Thyroxine is not a drug, it is a hormone
Player #27149342 pixie
Ritalin sometimes gets prescribed for young people but when they become teenagers they have to stop taking it due to teenage hormones making it work the opposite.

Era Vulgaris, strong opiate addiction runs that risk as well

KILLean17, Age has nothing to do with it.

Interesting example they used ... Adderall in kids is 'calming',
a 'downer', if you will,
(my words) and yet the same dosage for adults is used to combat fatigue!

That's the reason I don't use Pharmaceuticals. Your nothing but A Guinea Pig!

I had that with a weedcookie and after one and a half hour lost almost lost my conscience, i remember flags about what i said or did.. After all the cookie did not what i expected, it was worse. I felt out of body experience, heart rate acceleration. Maybe someone felt differently? I hope so cause that was insane

I know several people that took this. The doctors say they can manipulate the way they react to the meds. However what it did to some was make them dopey, while others use it as a way to stay up and study all night long

Canis Lupus, I'd change docs

The most difficult part of this is convincing my physician that this is true.
