Dear patient,
Thank you for sharing your concerns. Let me clarify the situation:
1. About the rabies vaccine:
You mentioned receiving 8 doses of rabies vaccine within 5 months. This is not harmful and does not cause paralysis. The rabies vaccine is inactivated (killed virus), and it is safe even when given multiple times in genuine exposure cases.
2. About sleepiness and OCD medication:
The excessive sleep (13 hours) is most likely due to the new OCD medicine you started. Some psychiatric medications, especially SSRIs or other anti-obsessive drugs, can cause sedation or drowsiness initially. This effect usually settles in a few days.
3. Tingling in limbs:
The tingling in your right leg and hand may be due to:
Anxiety/OCD-related sensations
Side effects of your new medication
Sleeping in one position too long
These are not signs of paralysis. If the tingling persists, you may consult a neurologist for reassurance.
4. What you should do now:
Do not panic. You are not developing paralysis.
Inform your psychiatrist about sleepiness and tingling—they may adjust your dose.
Try deep breathing or relaxation to reduce OCD-related fears.
Stay hydrated, eat well, and avoid reading alarming news.
You are safe. You’ve done the right thing by asking. Just follow up calmly with your doctor.
