I had no side effects minus everything from my hips to my toes were completely numb. Which was fabulous. But the iv medicine they gave me before the epidural though made me ridiculous!
i had the epidural with my daughter it just feels like your legs are asleep like really asleep. the demurral shot makes you feel high I got it with my son while I waited for the epidural but because I didn't get the epidural rite away I had to deliver natural.
It's a numbing agent. It shouldn't make you feel high. Perhaps the relief from pain made her feel high or she took the IV meds (narcotics) which can make you feel high.
