3 days later symptoms and conditions

I was on Lipitor for over 4 years but had my dose increased about 7-8 months ago. During that time:

1. Loss of energy (sometimes severe)
2. Muscle cramps at night in thigh
3. Pains & numbness in feet
4. A kinda of fog in my mind at times, hard to think
5. swelling in both feet
6. Easily injured in feet and knees, and slow to heal. the smaller muscles in the legs and feet

I finally realized it was the Lipitor and stopped immediately but the symptoms DON'T! What I found out is that Lipitor depletes the body of
Coenzyme Q10 (Coq-10) an important part of our bodies heart and muscle health. I was crippled unable to walk for over 2 weeks! On crutches, it felt like I was tearing and ripping muscle with every step, in my feet. I was taking 300 mg of Coq-10 a day. I found a web site that stated to take 900 mg, after 3 days I could tell a small amount of differance. 3 days later I was off the crutches. I was also taking 500mg 3X a day of
Acetyl-L Carnitine but it is the Coq-10 for sure! With in a week, ALL SYMPTOMS WERE GONE!!
Unfortunately if you stop taking the coq-10 they come back, I found out the hard way. Apparently your muscles have become extremely weak and need to build back up. You need to take the Coq-10 until that is complete and I hope you can stop after that. You can get Coq-10 at supermarkets, heathfood stores etc... BUT it's much cheaper on-line. feel free to email me for more information or questions.

Im 36 , my pneumologo put me on a treatment for 30 days Zyrtec D and Singular on day 6 w quit Zyrtec provoque me and arrithmia, the 3 days later quit Singulair, sence of more dryness and irregular arrithmia. Go to the original I was before just Clarinex and I felt very bad take a spray shot of Beconase

EVERYBODY REPLY TO THIS Let's see exactly how many women have had negative side affects from Yasmin. Just reply with the sideaffects. I see lots of posts and was wondering how many women are out there sharing similar problems. So me.... migraines, extremely horrible mood swings all from taking yasmin for 8-9 days next..........? lol

I had stopped taking it for about 2 months (50mg p/day). I began working out 30 days a week and doing some weight lifting. I began taking it and 3 days later I began to get leg cramps. knee pain, and shoulder tingling. I realized I haven't had this issues since I stopped taking it. My bp has been fine without it. I think it has to go.

My 6 year old son has had all of these more or less. He has been on Singulair for about 5 months. We took him off last Friday when he started having seizures. It is only now that we are connecting the things he has complained about. He is still going through testing but everytime a test is done it is negative. He is in perfect health. The dr.s are stumped. What happens is, he smells a wierd smell. Then he sees lights. After this he has a bad headache and becomes weak so he lays down. Shortly thereafter he stiffens and starts shaking his arms and legs while clinching his hands. He also grunts and makes a buzzing sound and appears as though he only breathes out. the dr.s say it is not seizures but movement disorder and if it is Singulair it should be out of his system within 3 days... He is still having the seizure type fits and its been a week since we took him off singulair. He is still losing his temper and having horrible dreams as well. Cat scan was normal, EEG was normal, blood work is ok, they want to do an MRI but does this sound familiar to anyone?

In brief, I am a 35 year old mother of two. I have been suffering with endo since I am 14. I had a span of 4 years with no symptoms at all and in Sept. 05 I had a total hysterectomy for endo and cancer cells on my cervix. I recently spent a week in the hospital for 2 endometriomas which are on the one and only ovary I have left, they are both bleeding and my doctor whom I trusted and his colleagues recommended a 6 month depo-lupron injection treatment before they do surgery to fix up the endo, they are reluctant to remove the remaining ovary due to my age but I will INSIST until someone listens. They did not tell my husband or I about any side affects and because I was in a tremendous amount of pain and because I trusted Dr. Shine so much I accepted the treatment, they faxed my husband the prescription at his work and he had to go find it when he did finally found it he brought it to St. Marys hospital and the nurse injected me and 2 days later I went home, I was sent home with celebrex, iron pills and morpheine pills for the pain...well I was back in the ER 3 days later because the pain was unbearable, my blood pressure was high and I was going insane, I met with the gyno on call and she expressed her disgust with her colleague for not telling me about the side affects of lupron and how the drug worked. My first shot was on the 13th of April and today is the first day I am feeling human, I have little endo pain but let me tell you the hip and back pain are killing me slowly. I am a very active mother and wife and I play sports but even the thought of that now hurts. I have not been able to work and will not return until I feel good, I am REALLY scared of getting the next injection which will be on the 11th of may and my new doctor told me to go through with the treatment for the next 5 shots because even though it will not be easy she insists that it will help me and once I am done they will perform surgery, I have set-up 2 other appointments with specialists and my Family Doctor is the only one that has been there for me, he follows me daily and has set-up a bone density test. Is there anyone with similiar situation that can help me out. I have other side affects but the hip and back pain are the ones I will never forget, I think I would have 10 more births drug free then to have to experience the pain again after the next shot...

I've taken Vicodin 500mgx3 or less if needed for 7 yrs. I truly advise to follow the labels that are on the bottle, if food..take it w/food, if H2o...take it w/H20, I can't tell anyone how important this tiny label is. I have done just that for 7 yrs and the Vicodin has been working fine...believe me sometimes I run-out and get it 2 or 3 days later and I'm fine. I have 3 heri. disks in my back and scadica. I receive a complete ckup on my kidneys and liver which thank God are fine.....I drink about 10- 20 oz. of water a day to keep me clean and my urine is almost clear as H2o, doc says great!!

The first day I took it I had severe leg cramping in my sleep...3 days later same thing. I have had diarreha the first day and even with drinking lots of fluids I have had dry mouth. Other than that it seems to be clearing up my bronchitis

i had the shot in my hip 4 weeks ago with no info on side effects if i had known i would have never had it..i had a period at 49 years old for 24 days stopped and started again 3 days later i hadnt had 1 in 13 months since was already thru menopuase.i have had all the side effect listed here but shirt term memory lapse has any1 slse had that i cant remember if i have done something 5 minutes after i did it and no it isnt from age.please email me if u have thanks

4 days into taking Advair to help me breath with my accute bronchitus I had a grand maul seizure. 3 days later I was hit with a smaller focal scizure... No one (doctor wise) is willing to admit it was the sterioids.

My Family has no history of seizures on either side.

Placing the blame on this medication is the only thing I can figure. After reading some of the other replies I think I rether would have had the headaches/joint pain for a few weeks.

I am a healthy,active 25 year old woman. Here is brief discription of my experience with the drug.

About 2 weeks ago, i was seen in the Er for a kdney infection, they immediately startedm me on IV levaquin, as well as an oral dose and an NSAID (which can cause a severe reaction). I was not given much literature on the drug, and the pharmacy printout was BLANK. The only warning I recieved about this medication was drug interactions (which they gave me in the hospital) and typical allergy stuff. They mentioned nothing about joint pain, or any of the other horrible effects of this medication.

3 days later I naoticed a little pain in my knee, and my back hurt. I thought nothing of this because I have had a previous minor injusry to that knee, and just thought it was another flare up. The next day, the pain was in both my knees and my ankles. I didn't know what to thiink.

I then researched the symptoms, and was shocked that the medication was causing this.

Now my right arm is pretty much useless(too much pain in my fingers,elbow and shoulder) And I have suffered a TIA (which is a mini stroke) No ease in the pain os of yet, and I just hope that I live throught this.

I was prescribed Levaquin for a sinus infection.
I took one pill before bedtime for 3 days out of a 5 day Rx.
I had wierd dreams and sleeplessness, nausea and felt like I was high-
By the 3rd morning, my hands were shaking so badly, I couldn't sign a permission slip for my daughter and that day at work, I had serious tremors- people were shocked at how badly my hands were shaikng.
Thank god I looked on the net, because I was scheduled to play a soccer game that night. Instead, stopped the meds and told my team I can't play for 2 weeks. WIth 4 children under 8 and the youngest 2 (22 month old twins) both disabled, I cannot afford to be out of commission with torn ligaments.
Now, 3 days later, my knees ache and I have had pain in my chest this evening.
How long will this last?
Is 2 weeks long enough to skip strenuous activities?
ANy advice would be appreciated.

Ladies - I am 41 yr old female. Took kenalog 1-2x yrly between 16 and 22 yrs old for extreme hayfever. Yes, it was a miracle, but I did experience non-stop bleeding. (about 9 months worth - spotting) Noticed that this happened if I got the shot while on my period. When I received a shot when NOT on my period, I skipped several at times. Now, I have a herniated disk (L5-S1) - and what a total miracle this was. I was in excruciating pain for 2 months, got a shot and within days the pain was gone - except for little "reminders". This shot was an epidural (directly in my spine) SCARY stuff, however, I'm not a big fan of surgery. Anyway, the first shot, I was just finishing my period and it went on for 2 weeks longer. This shot, I am mid-cycle, so we'll see what happens. As far as other side effects, after a shot, about 2-3 days later, I am very tense & irritable, quick tempered, but that fades. My appetite wanes and I get supercharged - get a lot done, but I think I re-injured my back because I was feeling so good! Does anyone have a problem with ears ringing constantly????? I'm wondering if this is a side effect as well.

Hey all,

What can I say, but hello FAMILY. Are we all alike are what. Well this is my story! I started out on Depo over 10 years ago. It worked fine for me I thought! Came across a site similar to this talking about Depo that it scared me to death. I thought I am young, just got with a great guy and down the line may want to have a baby, so I got off of Depo and started the patch!!! Big mistake, it made my breast feel like cement blocks!!!!! So stopped the patch after two months and my Gyno said try Seasonale. Big mistake two, I felt like a balloon was in my stomach and I was going to die if someone would not just "punch" me in the stomach and bust it. So I called my gyno and she said we need to give you something else. Well in between the time of stopping the patch and switching to Seasonale, and taking a break of about 2 weeks, I found out I was pregnant. Well sadly to say, I had a miscarriage and decided that I needed to get back on something. Well they gave me Yasmin. Well I am not going to lie, i thought it was the best thing that happen since sliced bread. Yeah right!!! I have been on Yasmin maybe 5 months and the symptoms I was having from Depo, the patch and Seasonale never left and I continued the dreadful cycle putting this Yasmin in my body!!!!! The following are my symptoms!!!!:
NO SEX DRIVE AT ALL. It use to be there, would be open to it anytime of the day. Now I dread going to be cause I know my fiance, now husband is wanting it. I feel horrible for him and I need to do something before I lose him.
IBS, I have never had any problems, well now I have been told I have "IBS". Had to have a colonoscopy and everything. Anything I ate went right thru me if you know what I mean. It scared me, so I went to the doctor. Funny thing is I never had problems with High blood pressure, and the day of my procedure, my blood pressure was high. Then about 3 days later the doctors office called and said I neeeded to go see a PCP cause my blood count was low. Went to the doctor and my blood pressure was high again. They ran all kinds of test on me and nothing was wrong.
MOODY, good lord, can you say Capital "B". I am so evil, hate dealing with folks, very easily irritated and I hate my job.
Did I say NO SEX DRIVE AT ALL!!!!
Shortness of breath, headaches, always wondering if I am pregnant, but my periods are regular and if I stop taking something, I am one of those folks that my period always comes right back. So as you can see my husband is very fertile and I must be as well. So I must take something!!! Help please, what can I do, I don't want kids right now, but I love my husband and really don't want to use Condoms.

Another side effect, sore nipples/breast!!!! Help!!!~!!

I have had psoriasis for 15 yrs and psoriatic arthritis for 5. After having a major flare up of psoriatic arthritis where my tendons and major joints swelled.My doctor finally decided to prescribe me something for the swelling after 4 months of not being able to walk most days. I first started with Sulfasalasine (500mg daily for 7 days, 500mg twice daily for 7 days, 500mg three times daily for 7 days, and 1000mg twice daily for 7 days). After a month my psoriasis started to flare and it looked as if i was having a rash so it was discontinued.

A week later i received a prescription for Plaquenil (200mg x2 for 14 days) and Prednisone (4x5mg) in the mail. It was a two week trial of plaquenil, and with the prednisone i was to decrease by half a pill every three days. By the end of the two weeks of plaquenil i was noticing a red blotchy rash on my chest. I contacted my doctor. 3 days later the rash had gone from my chest to my neck to my cheeks. By the 4th day i had swelling around my eyes and they were also red and blotchy, my hands were also swollen to the point where i couldnt bend them and I was having a fever and night sweats. My doctor finally contacted me on the fifth day after stopping the plaquenil, and told me to discontinue it. I went to the hospital on that day and told them i thought i was having a allergic reaction to plaquenil, they stood five feet away looked at me and said ok just keep taking the prednisone at 20 mgs for a few days. They didnt want to get involved due to the fact that i had psoriasis. But also failed to mention to me that it could be the prednisone causing this reaction also.

The next day i saw my dermatologist, she prescribed 1% hydrocorisone cream which helped with some of the dryness and pealing skin. The next day when i woke up i couldnt open my eyes, i was having shortness of breath ( im not sure if it was the panic from not being able to see) my throat felt as if i had strep throat,and the roof of my mouth felt as if i had burned it. My skin looked like a huge sunburn, the parts where i had psoriasis were very red,raw,and pealing excessively. I was admitted to the hospital for four hrs where they gave me a IV of benedryl and a steriod.My skin was so swollen they could just barely find a vein to put the IV in. After 50mg of benedry they realeased me and told me to keep taking 50mg every 4-6 hrs and they prescribed me 50mg of prednisone for 7 days. By the next day the swelling had gone down by 30% in my face, but i still looked like i had been in a fight, the pressure around my eyes was so much that i had to sleep sitting up. Of course i wasnt really able to sleep with the fear that if i closed them i wouldnt be able to open them again. They also leaking white stuff. My skin was pealing in very large sections. I was bathing in a luke warm bath with oil, which would help with the pealing of my skin but then when i came out i would be freezing cold. I would get hot flashes and then instantly cold 5 minutes later. I felt like i running a fever but my temperature was normal.

Two days later the swelling was gone in my face, but my legs, ankles and feet were abnormally swollen. My skin was still pealing and constantly itchy. My skin tone was all pink it was no longer red and blotchy, but after i would shower or bath my legs would have dark purple and blue spots on them that looked like bruises. I was unable to sleep for more then two hours straight, i would wake up feeling as if i was on fire. It took another six days for the swelling to go down fully in my legs, ankles and feet.

After taking 50mg of prednisone for 7 days I am taking 45mg for 7 days then decreasing by 1 pill every week. After taking 45 mg for 3 days my skin looks as if its a big rash, it feels grainy and tight. Its no longer pealing except for on my feet.

Im told i look as if i have a bad sunburn, my face is red and tight to the point where the skin around my eyes doesnt even stretch when i open them widely.The sides of my mouth keep cracking when i try to open it fully. I look as if i have really dry skin constantly, it is a fine dusty flakeness. I bathe in moisturizing bath oil but it doesnt even go past the first layer of skin it seems, and i moisturize with keri lotion 3 or 4 times a day but it doesnt seem to matter how much i do it 15 minutes later im just as dry.My skin is sensitive to light and feels like its on fire when exposed to any amount of sunlight. The skin around my armpits and breasts or anywhere that the skin has to strecth is red and sore. I still get hot flashes but most the time i am freezing cold. The skin on my hands is wrinkley and i have no sense of touch almost. My nails were so brittle they had to be cut all the way back.

I have numbing of the tongue, i cant even taste food anymore. I have dry mouth, and i feel as if im dehydrated constantly, i can drink bottle after bottle of water and still feel thirsty. I feel really hungry sometimes or not at all at others. Some days it feels like I IBS and then other days it can be fine. I am losing my hair. The roof of my mouth still feels as if ive burned it on something hot. My legs still look purple at times when im standing, and especially after being in the shower or bath. I am taking 1mg of both folic acid and zinc which my rheumatologist suggest to help slow the reproduction of my skin cells. I have blurred vision 90% of the time, and sometimes i see halos around letters. My mood swings are all over the place, some days i feel like just crawling into a ball and not moving, mostly because its too painful to move around and also because i hate how I look. And other days i just feel nothing at all. Im not exactly sure if when i was the 50mg of prednisone i was happy because of the drug or if i was happy in general because i realized what i could have lost. Not being able to see for 15 minutes really put things into perspective.

Im not sure how much worse it can get? I thought the swelling of my eyes was the worst part but from what i hear it can get much worse coming down off of prednisone. I was wondering if anyone else with psoriasis may have experienced any of these side effects while on prednisone? and roughly how long it took for them to go away.

I AM GLAD I AM NOT ALONE..... THERE IS NOTHING MORE FEARFUL THAN BEING ON THIS DRUG. WHILE IN THE (ARMY) SERVICE I WAS BITTEN BY AN INSECT AND HAD A SEVRE REACTION TO IT WITH OUT ANY TEST OR BLOOD WORK BEING DONE THEY PUT ME ON THIS WONDER DRUG. 3 HOURS AFTER TAKING THE DRUG MY AIR WAY WAS TIGHTENING UP MY SKIN COVERED HEAD TO TOE IN A RASH THAT BURNED WORSE THAN A SEVRE SUNBURN AND WHEN SPEAKING TO THE DRILL SARGENT HE TOLD ME TO GO TO BED. DISOBEYING I JUMPED INTO A COLD SHOWER TO GET SOME RELIF FROM THE PAIN. THE NEXT DAY I WENT BACK TO THE TMC (TROOP MEDICAL CLINIC) WERE MY DOSE WAS HIKED UP FORM 20MGS 3 TIME A DAY TO 50MGS 4 TIMES A DAY. NOT BEING TESTED AGAIN I WAS SENT BACK TO MY COMPANY. 3 DAYS LATER I WAS SENT TO THE NAVAL CLINIC WHERE THE DR. HAD ME TAKE 20MGS 3 TIME A DAY ALONG WITH THE 50MGS 4 TIMES A DAY SO A TOTAL OF 260MGS A DAY. 3 HOURS AFTER MY FIRST 260MGS I WAS BEING DRUG BY MY BUNK BUDDIES TO GET HELP I HAD LOST CONSIOUSNESS AND I COULDN'T BREATH. I WAS RUSHED TO THE HOSPITAL IN AMBULANCE B/C MY AIRWAY WAS CLOSING OFF. FOR SEVERAL DAYS BEFORE MY LIPS HAD TURNED PURPLE, I HAD MOON FACE, ACNE WHICH I NEVER HAD, VISION PROBLEMS, SEVERE HEADACHES, FELLINGS OF BEING LOST OR OUT OF IT, EXTREME FATIGUE, AND THE BURNING RASH STILL HADN'T GONE AWAY, HAIR LOSS, THE WORSE THING EVER FOR AN ARMY RECRUIT IN TRANING WAS THE ADDED 40LBS , AND THE EXTREME JOINT PAIN WHICH I HAD TO LIVE WITH FOR 6 MONTHS. DURING MY PHYSICAL TEST AND TRAINING I CRIED LIKE A LITTLE GIRL WHO HAD HER FAVORITE DOLLIN TAKEN AWAY. BECAUSE OF THE PAIN. EACH DAY BECAME HARDER AND HARDER EMOTIONALLY(I WAS WANTING MY LIFE BACK MY DREAM OF BEING IN THE ARMY WAS SLOWLY DISAPATING ALL B/C OF A DRUG), PHYSICALLY( TOLD BY MY COMMAND SGT. MAJOR I WAS FAT AND WAS NOT GOING TO MAKE IT UNLESS THOSE ADDED LBS. CAME OFF) AND MENTALLY(BECOMING MANIC). I WAS DISCHARGED FROM THE HOSPITALINSTRUCTED TO ONLY TAKE 20MGS OF PREDNISONE A DAY. NEEDLESS TO SAY WITHOUT BEING TAPPERED OFF . I WAS IN THE HOSPITAL FOR 3 DAYS. ONLY OUT FOR 3 HOURS AND ALREADY HAVING ANOTHER INCIDENT. I WAS IN AND OUT OF CONSIOUSNESS AND REMEBER ALL OF MY SARGENTS TRYING TO HELP ME AGAIN FROM DYING A 2ND TIME. THIS TIME MY AIR WAY WAS COMPLETLY OBSTRUCTED AND NOT EVEN THE O2 MASK WAS HALPING THE AIR WAS PUSHING OUT THE SIDES OF THE MASK. WHEN THE AMBLUANCE ARRIVED THEY WANTED TO DO AN EMERGANCY TRACH. SO I COULD GET AIR.. i WOULDN'T LET THEM THAT LEAVES A HORRIBLE SCAR. i HAD ALREADY BEGAN PREPARING MYSELF FOR DEATH BECAUSE OF MY SITUATION AND HOW CLOSE I WAS WITH ALL MY SYMPTOMS. I KNOW NOT A VERY POSITIVE WAY OF THINKING BUT WITH THIS DRUG IT'S TO BE EXPECTED WITH THE IMPROPER USE OF IT LIKE MY CASE. I WAS IN THE HOSPITAL FROM OCT TO DECEMBER. ONLY TO BE TREATED FOR MANIC DEPRESSION AND SEVRE OBISIETY. I WAS CURRENTLY ON THE PSHYCIATRIC WARD IN VIRGINIA AND I WAS A COUNTRY GIRL FROM DOOR COUNTY WISCONSIN WHAT I WAS SEEING WAS NOT GREAT AT ALL MY CAPTIN AND 1ST SGT. VISITED ME AND THEY BOTH AGREED THAT THIS WASN'T THE PLACE FOR ME. I STRONGLY AGREED WITH THEM. I WAS FINALLY DISCHARGED FROM THE HOSPITAL ONLY TO FIND MY SELF BEING DISCHARGED TOTALLY OUT OF THE ARMY...TALK ABOUT CRUSHED AT THIS POINT YA I DID FEEL LIKE I HAD NOTHING TO LIVE FOR MY DREAM OF BEING IN THE ARMY FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE WAS GONE AND EVERYONE AT HOME WOULD LOOK AT ME AS A FAILURE AND NOT BEING ABLE TO HACK IT IN THE SERVICE. WHICH WAS NOT THE CASE AT ALL I LOVED IT. I'VE BEEN HOME KNOW FOR 7 YEARS I HAVE NO ARMY BENIFITS NO COMPENSATION AND MOST OF ALL NO FUTURE IN THE ARMY. AFTER 7 YEARS I STILL HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO LOSE ALL THE WEIGHT GAINED. I AM SICK ALL THE TIME KNOW B/C OF THE TOLL PREDNISONE DID ON ME. I HAVE HEART PROPLEM, VISION PROBLEM AND REPRODUCTIVE PROBLEM ALL WHICH HAPPENED AFTER PREDNISONE. I AM CURRENTLY GOING THROUGH MORE TEST. MY QUESTION IS I WAS ON PREDNISONE FOR 6 MONTHS BEINGING YO-YO'D UP AND DOWN....AND WITH ALL THE TEST GOING ON IS THEIR ANYTHING ELSE FOR ME TO EXPECT FROM THIS DRUG THAT HAS TAKEN EVERYTHING AWAY FROM ME... I LIKE TO TRY AND MOVE ON BUT NEW PROBLEMS KEEP ARISING THAT PREVENT ME.. OH AND ON A LEGAL ASPECTED IF ANYONE HAS ANY SUGGESTIONS PLEASE PLEASE HELP IT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECHIATED.

THANKS
PREDNISONE TOOK EVERYTHING FROM ME AND 7 YEARS LATER IT'S STILL GOING ON..

My mom is 65 and was prescribed this medication for pain in her legs. After taking for two days she has developed severe diarrhea. She also has been unable to sleep since starting this medicine. She finished the medication and now 3 days later is still suffering from these symtoms and to make matters worse can not get her doctor to call her back. She can not stand the pain which has seemed to get worse.

I am 30 an just started taking toprol for high blood pressure 10 day ago. The first night i took it I almost pasted out. I thought it was just my bp changing. 3 days later i almost pasted out again and immediatly went to my family doctor. when i got there my bp was 203/130 the highest it had ever been. Of course they gave me more toprol. which did correct the high bp. I am having bad nightmares and mood swings. Dizziness, stomach grumbling, and zombie like feelings. I am going to stop taking it.

"Suspected" case of Lyme. Began taking it on May 25th, and 3 days later my left arm and torso went numb drivin' on the road (this is on 200mgs a day). A few days later, the cold/prickly hands thing happened. I though it was just from sun burn caused by doxy light sensitivity, but after reading these others about neuropathy (weird nerve sensations) I'm not entirely sure... so, since I thought these sensations could be the from creature that causes lyme, I upped it to 400 and sometimes 600 to kill the little bastards. However, the sensations haven't gone away. It's now July 17th (like 8 weeks later) and I get numbness in my arms at night and in my face (like a "dead face,") I'm starting to think it's the medicine, and any infection, that's causing it. I think I'll try to lower the dose or stop altogether for a week and see. I'll be really REALLY HAPPY if it's just these damn meds that's caused this trouble. But then, maybe it helped me fight off an infection, too.

Uncontrollable shaking, pins and needles in my head, headaches, nausea, insomnia, feelings of unreality, lack of energy, inability to concentrate, minor hallucinations, and NO appetite. (lost ~8 lbs in 2 weeks)

-When I do manage to go to sleep, I sometimes wakeup 2 hours later shaking and confused, in a semi-conscious state. When I wakeup in terror my heart rate is ~100+

I began taking zoloft for my panic attacks. I started having panic attacks after I almost died one night. When I stopped taking zoloft (was on 25mg for 2 weeks), I had a panic attack 3 days later. I started again and side effects began to return. I'd prefer panic attacks over these horrible side effects. In the 3 days I quit, I felt like myself again. Now I'm taking an anti-anxiety pill whenever I feel an attack comming on. Panic attacks beat zoloft side effects anyday (10 minutes of sheer terror vs a whole day of zoloft side effects?)

THIS DRUG IS EVIL-INCARNATE

1. terrible dizziness right after I started to take the pill.
2. Drowiness
3.severe headache started 3 days later
4.mild diarrhea
5.nausea

I was put on Levaquin for a infection in my uteris. The first hour I took it I felt like I had the flu and then as the days passed I was gassy, stomach ache, diarrhea, headache, confusion and started hearing voices. On day 4 I didn't take my meds and called my doctor. I still heard voices the next day and here it is 3 days later I'm still having stomach problems and diarrhea. No voices but the confusion is still lingering. I have never had a problem with any medication. Never a single side affect until Levaquin.
