Thirty odd years ago I was prescribed Salbutamol for a chest infection,after taking the first couple of them Hazel seemed to notice a glazed look in my eyes and a change in my personality, she followed me into the kitchen and watched as I picked up a knife and for no reason hurled it at the kitchen wall where it bounced off in stuck into a bowl of fruit.
After getting me to lie down for a while, (I actually fell asleep), she asked me if I could remember the incident; "what incident", I asked, I did not remember a thing about it
After getting an emergency appointment with my G.P. (who I knew personally), His only comment was " Mick, It does effect some people that way, stop taking the Salbutamol and make a note to tell anyone who asks that you are alergic to it. The fact that I could well have murdered Hazel without having any recollection of it was frightening.
He remained my G.P. and friend until he retired but I made a point of reminding him of the incident for many years after.
