Paradoxical response

[madamesilverspurs]

I'm told that's what it's called when meds act bassackwards from the way they're supposed to. It's not every med, so that's good. Like, those OTC things that warn of possible drowsiness usually have me bouncing off the walls. And I totally freaked out my dentist when he gave me nitrous-oxide and I started sobbing loudly enough to be heard in the waiting room (not a good thing for his business).

Anybody here experience anything like that?

1. the only thing that I have that kind of response to is not medicinal

sugar is supposed to give you an energy boost. Give me something with sugar in it, and I am so drowsy within 10 minutes I can barely keep my eyes open.

As far as OTC cold medicines, they dont just make me drowsy, they knock me out cold.
