> So strange, we all have such different chemistries. I wish there was more info out there on paradoxical drug reactions. I get hyper on just about anything - benzos, opiods, alcohol. Others have opposite reactions. About the only time I really get knocked out and laid back is when I try to wake up in the morning.
Librium exacerbates my Restless Leg Syndrome, and Ativan makes me dissociate, but I have no problem with Klonopin. Demerol makes my mom climb the walls, while I find it absolutely dreamy. I'm so sensitive to antihistamine sedation, that Zyrtec puts me out for days, yet my dad can take Benadryl without getting tired. There are such disparate reactions to medications, even among first degree relatives. It *is* so strange.MB
