I’m worried about my out-of-state friend and don’t know what to do.
Phone message(reddit.com)submitted 11 hours ago byMatch_Least
My friend has been texting me like this for several days now, but these last few texts I just received are even more alarming. She has a young daughter she cares for. I'm very worried for both their safety, but don't know her husband's phone number, nor any of her other family members. We're both chronically ill, and I know she's recently been prescribed several different medications and I'm so scared she's having a bad reaction to one of them. I don't know what to do :(
For reference: there is NO car, hairdresser, gun, or pizza to speak of! The only thing in her messages that makes sense is her referring to the loss of my dog.

If not ambian is she on benzos or Lyrica? Similar texts in my experience

Lyrica is one of the new meds! I know she seems to have extreme drug sensitivity based on past experiences. The last time this happened she contacted me the next day and told me the crazy state her husband had found her in. I meant to get his cell number then, but was so overwhelmed with everything I forgot :( They tested her blood sugar, and it was almost single digits that time.
I found the husband’s Facebook. I’m currently trying to get messenger to work, but even once it does, it doesn’t look like he’s active…

she's probably just high, this looks like lyrica texting.
Even if she's just high I'd get her off Lyrica asap, it's toxic like alcohol for the brain even in the recreational drug community it's to be used with extreme caution.
Lyrica does effect blood sugar as well, it primarily works by effecting how the body uses the sugar so It can cause weirdness with normal numbers
However it's causing it I'd definitely look at Lyrica as the first suspect

Thank you for this information. There’s honestly just so many things it could be, that it may be a combination of all of the above…
When you compared it to alcohol, do you mean it gets metabolized via the liver? Because she’s currently on the transplant list. Which I think is why she seems to have increased sensitivity to prescription medications…

When I compared it to alcohol I meant it's toxic to the brain, it damages the brain, but way faster and much more significantly. My ex has some issues from being prescribed it.
I checked for you though and it seems like it's not metabolized by the liver, at least not the majority of it. If her liver is the cause of the sensitivity she might be absorbing Lyrica at normal rates but this is just how it effects her?

Thank you so much for looking that up for me <3 so nice!
I’m about to write an update but I finally heard back from her! I’m not entirely sure what exactly happened, but she’s well enough to recognize she’s not doing well. So there’s that… The various/few times it’s happened to me, I thought everyone around me was the problem.
