What’s her blood pressure usually like?
Was she checking it when this happened—even if you mentioned it didn't last long?

dustygardener25 said:Bedwetting can happen when you're heavily sedated. It isn't really a side effect of the medication itself, but rather the sedation. My doctor told me I'd know if I had an accident. I haven't had one yet, though I was using Ambien because I couldn't sleep—my doctor prescribed it. Personally, I wouldn't take any meds if they meant waking up soaked every single night.
What do you mean by that?
Are you talking specifically about sleep aids, or all sedatives and anti-anxiety meds in general?

Andrew Watson59 said:I have a question about antidepressants. If someone has been on them for years, can you actually tell by looking at their face? Does long-term use make a person look older than they really are—like, more wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, or just an overall exhausted look?
What's making you ask?
I honestly think that’s just what depression does to people: it leaves you with a tired face and probably more wrinkles.
I'm not sure if it's specifically the medication—usually, when you're actually getting treatment, you start looking better. You look rough when you're suffering through depression without help, and when you're that exhausted from the constant dark thoughts and anxiety, it's bound to show on your face.
