What Causes Extreme Drowsiness, Mood Swings And Mydriasis?
I have an employee who is acting strange. she comes in late for work. sometimes she doesn t come in at all. She is extremely hyper, but sometimes will fall asleep at the drop of a dime. her pupils stay dilated most of the time. she is very moody and easily upset. she gets very defensive when called out. what possible drugs could she be on?
Well, without knowing an individuals health issues and medications that they are on it is difficult to narrow down the symptoms to a specific drug, since there are many drugs that can cause the symptoms you had mentioned. Whether the individual is abusing a drug or is on regular treatment is something that needs a thorough medical work up, to begin with getting a physician consultation and take it from there on with the consent of the individual.
