Does anyone have trouble with sedation medication?
Does anyone have trouble with sedation medication taking effect? What about other meds? Sometimes I react very strongly to meds and with some others they have to give me enough to kill a horse. When I am giving sedation medication for epidural blocks or dental sedation meds, it takes twice as long for them to take effect as a normal person and I have to have twice as much.
It is like my body is wired backward in response to medication. Am I alone in this or is this common with other fibro sufferers?

Odd medication responses is very common with CFS/FM. Usually it's hypersensitivity or opposite to expected reaction, rather than needing more. However, it may be the "opposite" contributing to needing excessive amounts.
The opposite is very funny, for instance, when Valerian root for sleep works so well as a stimulant in my mom and I that we compared our very productive nights awake. Cold meds to put you to sleep also perk me up but make me too groggy to be awake, yuk.
With pain killers, they can administer some of them without the epinephrine (spelling?), which can be an reactor for CFS. Maybe that's what's triggering your problem? Ususally it creates a kind of woozy stimulated effect.
Also, CFS bodies are slow to adjust, studies have literally show this. So, I haven't heard of slow to adjust to those particular drugs, but that might be your body's manifestation of it.
Part of what makes CFS/FM so challenging to treat is the extreme range of reactions to the same meds, with no way to predict.
You are not alone in this.
