That has never happened to me. If it had I would have thrown that medicine away.

    Medical conditions? Side effects? Allergic reactions?
    Nothing new!
    High blood pressure? Diabetes? Other?
    Just be prepared! Lay down on the floor, if possible.
    So you do not hurt your head and other bones.

I have not and hopefully never do. That would be a horrible side effect.

I've never had that happen but I've gotten sleepy, nausea, dizzy, vomiting, high-blood pressure and well 'my head wasn't quiet right' on one med.  Side-effects are awful and someone times far worse than the symptom they are trying to cure.  I almost fear going to the doctor when sick because I usually end up with a worse thing than what it's trying to cure.

A year ago I had the flu and was on sudafed and a prescribed appetite suppressant. My blood pressure dropped so low that I fell to the ground while getting out of the shower and lost my vision. I had to crawl to my bedroom naked while everyone in my house was asleep. It was so scary....I felt my way to my bedroom and got to the bed and I layed down thinking I was going to die because my heart rate was slowing down too. That was the scariest moment of my life. I will never take OTC meds or prescriptions together again!
