Addiction problem symptoms and conditions

I took Levaquin 750 mg for 2 days. The first night it made me sleepy and drowsy. The second night I took it, I was high. I felt like I was a zombie. I sat in front of my computer rocking back and forward. And al I wanted to do while I sat there was take more and more and more levaquin. I wanted sit there and eat them like they were candy. That urge was so overwhelming. So, I hurried up and I flushed them down the toilet except for 3. Knowing that they were there, I wanted to eat those 3, so I flushed them.
That was the worst night of my life. I said to myself if this is how high suppose to feel. I don't ever be high.
This drug need to be taken off the market.

Hey,
My name is Krysten im 14 and im in the 8th grade. I'v been taking adderal for almost 4 months now. Before taking adderal I wasent doing good in school, I would always get into fights. My life was miserable. So I asked my doctor if I could try adderal agian. Before when I took adderall my stomach hurt and I wasent feeling the same. Then I wanted to give it a try. A week after I started to feel my self agian, my family and my teachers noticed a huge diffrence in my academics and my ADD. I went from getting E's and D's to getting on the honor role last quarter. I got the most improved in my grade and I was very happy. Now its the final quarter and now im feeling that adderal isant helping as much as it use to I'm worring about if I'm going to do as well as last quorter and im feeling a little anxiety. I went from taking 30 - 40mg in less than a month, Since I take 10mg after school. I also have been exeirencing weird things. When I get up from sitting down, I sometimes get a huge headach, I cant breath for about 30 seconds, I sometimes see stars and Its like a black out also, I get up then I cant see anything its all black, then slowy I can see agian. I would really like to know if i should raise my Mg higher for me to focus more and be happyer over time. I think adderal was a life changer for me. Please answer my question as soon as poosible!

Had taken for approx 2 yrs. Felt that if I didn't take by certain time that I was feeling the need to take it. I have been off two weeks now, and have a dry mouth (which have not had before) and some confusion. Hopefully this will improve with time. Don't want to take medications that you feel that there is an addiction problem.

The only FDA-approved use for Neuronin is for muscle-spasm connected pain, with epilepsy. However I have noticed that most of the people who have responded to this side-effect registry take it for other reasons. I -- for example -- use it for fibromyalgia, a type of arthritis characterized by (in my case) whole body aching, something like a bad case of flu. It is similar to Dilantin, and nobody knows exactly HOW it works, except that it helps the kidneys remove Gapentin from the urine, and for that reason is often given to kidney-dialysis patients.
It has its own list of side-effects, and reading these postings will educate you about a lot of them, and it SEEMS to be as dependence-producing as Vicodin and related products, but not officially addictive.
I am concerned that you would be taking Neurontin in addition to Vicodin. Does the amount of Vocodin you now take not manage your pain?
If It were me in this position I would much rather be taking Neurontin than Vicodin, because of the addiction problem, and this might be your doctor's attempt to wean you off of Vicodin, especially if you are needing increasing amounts of Vicodin, a baaaaad sign.
TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR about this! Not a lot is known about the interactions of these two drugs, and in my mind could be possibly dangerous. The Neurontin seems to increase the effect of other medicines, especially the ones in Vocodin. Depending on your particular situation, taking Vicodin and Neurontin at the same time could be good, or life-threatening. Is your doctor going to mnonitor you closely, or are you going to be a guiney-pig? At the least monitor youself and the effects on your body for adding Neurontin -- and insist on starting with the smallest dose of Neurontin possible. I commend you for wanting to find out more before you take what sounds like an unexplained drug.
