I have a problem. Friday night I went to bed late, took my pills as usual. Early saturday morning, about 5 hours later, the postman called with a package I had been expecting. I jumped out bed in some kind of weird state of mind, opened the door and collapsed in the doorway. Somehow I got up and went into the kitchen to get my spare keys and collapsed again. I then got up again went back to the door and collapsed a third time and stayed down I guess. I vaguely remember the postman asking if I was diabetic and if I was alone and then I remember my wife helping me lie down on the sofa. I gather my blackouts where caused by hypotension from my pericyazine and having looked up the symptoms. It seems the ache in the back of my neck and shoulders is also a symptom (I thought my pillows were getting a bit old!), it did make me quite dizzy especially when standing when I started it but I thought it had passed. So I am stuck, my wife is very worried that I might have another blackout when shes not around or that next time I might hurt myself worse, but I dont really want to change the pericyazine as I feel its really doing me good. So any suggestions anyone? please, bunny
