Cause of drunken like feeling
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX, thanks for asking from HCM.
I can understand your concern. You have felt like drunken person due to dizziness, imbalance, light headedness. As you are taking many drugs, the cause could be combined side effects of following drugs
: Gabapentine - It can cause severe drowsiness
: Cyclobenzaprine - It can cause drowsiness, imbalance and light headedness
: Amitiza - It can cause light headedness
:Trazodone and Mydocalm - Same side effects.
Now there is a possibility of drug interaction and augmentation of side effects. My advise is, you should consult your treating doctor to reduce drug dose and if possible, stop few medication. To rule out other possibility, you can get
: MRI brain or CT scan brain - It will rule out any structural lesion in brain.
Hope it will help you. If still in doubt, do let me know.
Thanks
Take care
