Aggrivated symptoms and conditions

ok i have been taking topomax for about roughly 7 years. at one time it got so bad with the memory loss they put me on the alzhimers med. that they proscribe for about everyone with alzhimers. i have had clumps of hair fall out so they put in a prescription for hair loss. i once weighed 100 lbs size 0 im 5 ft tall and i am usually about a 7-8 . the topomax i was taking it for my toruretts syndrome and every so often it causes a clich ill have face freezing that will last for and hour to 3 days or make it worse. ill get hives i get aggressive angerd very easily at the drop of a pin and wont eat at all because i forget i forget everything i once stared at a wall for 3 hours i couldn't move my body or eyes my mind went blank like someone shut off the electricity . plus bad acne ( um when i first took it it was like i was getting high with my entire body tingling like when ur foot has fallen asleep even my eyes felt like that) i have sufford some vision problems everyday and forget what and where i was going it has made me have some psychological problems increase
i have now recently stopped taking it i still get rashes i am always cold hair is still falling out still hear a ring in my ears i see things that aren't there like little firecrackers going off in my vision or blackouts like when u get a migraine i am always itching tingly all the time aggravated all the time
but now i eat i have gained like close to 20 lbs but i am more focussed in some things it helps when i am in class to stay focussed but not really because im not used to being so alert but i think i like not feeling foggy anymore

I went home, to ks... I live and work in ITaly, due to illlness the Dr. put me on this drug due to High Blood pressure. I came back in Sept to Italy and shortly after that started coughing the cough got so bad, I thought that I was going to vomit and gagged when the coughing became worse....I quit taking it yesterday cough is still horrible....I am so aggrivated that they would even dispense this drug and to some one like myself who has to buy a years supply, to return to work in a foreign country......I am miserable with this cough thanks to this website I am calling my Dr. back in the states today...and looking up the rest of the junk they put me on ....I see relafin causes hypertension, I have been on it for a while looks like a dog chasin a tale they give me one to counter another etc etc....I am making a life change today!!!!!!

I took one Levaquin pill for an infection and within 30-45 minutes I was begging my husband to commit me because I felt crazy. I finally fell asleep about 4 hours later. I took the pill around 9:30 pm. I have severe TMJD, which has been aggrivated due to this. I woke up with a horriffic headache and completely green with nausea. It is slowly subsiding, thank goodness. I asked my father-in-law if he has heard of Levaquin. He told me that it is used by the military to treat anthrax poisioning. Why is this suff available by perscription to the general public? Shouldn't it be more highly regulated? I am so glad I found this site. I really thought I was going crazy. These are horrible side effects for simply having taken one pill.

I have been taking doxy 100 once a day for about 6 months. It did bother my stomach, and still does if I don't eat before taking it. But my skin is as clear as it has ever been. Just recently though, I have had bladder problems, my stomach cramping, my lower back aching, and just two days ago, my legs started aching. Really bad. Enough to make me aggrivated all day. They feel like they've fallen asleep and are waking up, that tinggly feeling, only it doesn't go away. I am also taking 4 other meds, plus two topical for my face. Going to dr on tuesday

Ok..I took Yasmin for about a year and didn't really have any side effects. But about 2-3 months ago I switched to Ovcon 35 and absolutely loved it!! But I ran out of the Ovcon about 3 weeks ago and still had a pack of Yasmin...so I started it.. that way I wouldn't be without birth control...and I am into my 3rd week of Yasmin and I feel ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE!!! My breasts are swollen and very tender ( as if I were pregnant ) and I keep having these on and off cramps in my lower abdomin...as if I were about to start my period!!! I don't understand it all really and it's kind of scary in a way...because I felt this way the first 2 times I was pregnant...( with these pains and all ). But the funny thing is I had my period about 2 weeks ago...so there is no way I could be pregnant!! I am also having the feeling like I'm not even here...kind of like I am just a zombie!! The feeling of everything just being strange in general...like nothing is going right!! I am super sleepy all the time...easily aggrivated...very emotional...sick on my stomach and I hate to say it...but my insides have been really tore up!! And all of those things are not how I was while I was taking the Ovcon!! I am also constantly feeling thirsty...and having the feeling that I have to pee...ALOT!!! It's all crazy to me...and I have 13 pills left in this pack of the Yasmin....and after these...I am NEVER EVER GOIN BACK ON THIS PILL!! To anyone who reads this in search of what we are all on this page doing....PLEASE DON'T CONSIDER YASMIN....IT'S THE WORST BIRTH CONTROL EVER INVENTED!!

I am so glad I found this site! Start on Levothroid 100mcg 3 weeks 2 days ago. 1st day - Felt fine... 2nd day - horrible headache starting over my eyes going straight to the base of my head. 800mgs of ibuprofen to dull the pain, never stopped, just dulled. I was lethargic and slept for about 3/4 of the day. Day 3 - same issues. Day 4 - I did not take, felt better but still exhusted. Day 5 - 19, 50mcg of Levothroid: still felt very tired, but mainly I was becoming more and more aggrivated by little things... Things that had never bothered me before! I would think about smacking people or popping them upside the head for stupid reasons. I was getting so upset for nothing - all the time. Day 20, stopped for the day. Day 21, took 25mcg... boy I felt so much better. No where near as cranky! Endocrinologists claimed the meds weren't the problem. Saw my G.P. on day 21, he agreed the Levothroid dose was way too high and prescribed me the 25mcg for now. Says in a couple of weeks go up to 50mcg and see how I do. Thank goodness!

Had a heart attack? 10 years ago, now 57.
Cardioligist wanted bad C under 100. 2 years ago
80 mg Zocor was really killing me. Lost taste
sensation, fingers got arthritic?, muscle cramps.
But, bad C went to 90. I felt like ***.
1 year ago I stopped Zocor, finger movement
came back, cramping stopped, still can't drink
cola as taste is still affected.
Dr started Zetia (non Satin) which works in the
gastric track. Side affect minimal and is minor gas
at nite and stool slightly loose. bad C went to 120
but Dr now wants bad C to 70 or less, as new studies
show.
Put me on Lipitor 10 mg a month or so ago along with
the Zetia. All fine till last week... Now upset stomach
all day, with Nausea and sometimes dry heaves. Head
light headed, dizzy like in a fog, and can't walk without
holding on to wall. Outside I must look like a drunk.
Cramping on finges is returning. Had 2 strips bacon one
morning and remembered it through belches all day
with aggrivated symptoms.
I got the message.... And STOPPED the LIPITOR 4 days
ago and no more nausea, I can walk without loosing balance
and finger movement slowly returning. I can live with the
vivid dreams......

I was given Levaquin for a sinus infection that aggrivated my labyrinthitis (vertigo & ringing ear). By the 4th day I couldn't drag myself out of bed, calf muscles, quads and biceps all cramping and burning, went to ER and they gave me a stress test!!!

I guess I'll thank god that I stopped after day five. Any suggestions to help my body heal? I've seen magnesium and b12 - any suggestions?

Thanks and good luck to you all
