Tal.

If this is a person that you have an influence on, please, PLEASE, see that they see a medical person immediately.

As you know, a drug reaction such as this has nothing to do with a history of mental illness.

BK is right about the addiction. I know of two people of very strong character and good mental health who became addicted to this drug just from the prescribed doses for post surgical pain.

It is a powerful (and to me scary) drug to be sure.

Hope this person feels better soon.

Hugs.

Gracie

PS...I read your reply too quickly Tal. I see that you wrote that this person has been taken off this drug.
