I took a combination of Robax (for back and shoulder pain), an antidepressant (Trintellix), Claritin (for allergies), and lavender cannabis tea, which led to the development of sleep apnea. I am concerned about potential lasting effects on my brain stem and autonomous breathing. Is the damage likely to progress or get worse, heal, or stay the same? Additionally, I had a glass of wine after taking Cyclobenzaprine, and now I have tingling in my left hand. Could these events have caused brain stem injury?
