Suggest Treatment For Insomnia And Hallucination
I have had severe insomnia for going on 5 day s now. No sleep at all! Yesterday might leg, ankles and feet began to swell. They are terrible as of tonight, ie: tripled in size, very painful, ankles look bruised, burning, aching and pitting. I am 49 yr old female. I also am experiencing pain all over my body & seem to be hallucinating. I wonder if my pain med could be causing this. Please help...getting scared and feeling quite crazed right now.

Hi,
Thanks for writing to us,
Yes, pain medications may cause these symptoms in certain individuals. Please get a thorough medical check up done for the cause of this swelling. Visit your treating physician to deal with side effects of pain medications. If directed by him/her you may need to visit a psychiatrist.
Hope this helps,
