I was prescribe SMZ-TMP 800-160 DS 3 days ago on July 2nd for an infected hair follicle in my right armpit. I took the first does that evening and not long after felt really nauseated, almost like I had the flu. I consulted the page they always give you with prescriptions and it said that nausea was a side effect and that should go away after a couple of days. Well the next morning when I woke up I had no appetite and still felt a little nauseated but not as bad as the night before. I did take the 2nd dose and by mid morning the nausea was getting worse and by early afternoon I was developing a fever. Took a couple of Tylenol and toughed it out through the rest of the day at the office. When I got home I took my temp and found it to 101.3, took some Tylenol and called my pharmacists and he indicated that temp and nausea were really nothing to worry about. Felling a little reassured but still like I had the flu I took the 3rd does and about an hour after I took I started to feel the worse yet. I checked my temp again and found it had climbed to above 102 and for some strange reason my tongue would go numb for short intervals, almost like it had been shot full of novocain. I got absolutely no sleep that night, and given that the info sheet said to notify your doctor right away of you develop a persistent fever that next morning, July 4th, I called the office number and got the answering service and they had the doctor paged and when he finally called me back he was quite concerned over my reaction to this medicine and said I had to be seen by someone today because of the persistent fever. Being that it was the 4th of July the only option was the ER so off I went. They ran a few tests and found that yes I was having an adverse reaction to this evil medicine but I should be fine in a couple days. It is now July 5th, more then 36 hours since I took the last does, and the nausea is finally gone and my appetite is slowly coming back, but I still have a fever but it is slowly coming down as well or maybe the Tylenol is finally working, either way I hope by the end of the weekend to be feeling better.

A little over a month ago I took Levaquin for 14 days for pneumonia. During that time my side effects were nausea, dizziness, night sweating, insomnia, minor panic attacks and heart palpitations. I took them anyway, wanting to get over the pneumonia. I was prescribed Levaquin yesterday again because I had a cold and felt chest tightness. Last night was the worst night I ever had.... incredible muscle pain within the first couple of hours of taking the first pill on the back of my neck, legs, arms and back. I could not sleep all night turning and rolling trying to find a position where I had no pain. It got so bad that I felt I could not breath. The nausea and throwing up started this morning. I called my doctor's answering service this morning and he said to stop taking them immediately! He also told me to take Benadryl tablets, 25mg, 4 times a day until I can see him Monday. This antibiotic has really serious side effects on some people.

About 3 months ago after taking Ambien because of not being able to sleep due to insomnia and at that time sever sciatica, I got a call from a long time friend of 20 years, he told me i proposed married to him while crying and told him how much i loved him and also told him i took a bunch of pain pills. I guess that same night i called a man i'd brokened up with, as well, because he had too much drama in his life (i was also very in love with this man when i broke up with him). Apparently i only got his answering service and left a message asking him to call me back. I'd been trying not to call him for days, then this happened. When he got a hold of me, by then i knew now what i'd said to my old buddy while on Ambien. I was terrified of what i'd said to my ex, he said i only asked him to call me back, NOT! It gets crazier, for i ended up at a strip club that same night buying a kinda sorta friend lapdances with my money!! I'm a woman buying a guy i didn't like very much dances?! My ex and i eventually got back together only to end up arguing, then he tells me what i said that night. I told him i have a friend with a 10 inches!! And some other shit i don't recall saying. My ex (again) is not a 10incher (which i do not want anyway) but i LOVE him more than any John Holmes but thats what i did. I belittled him while under that shit! Now my 24yo child told me she visited me last week, I DON'T RECALL THIS AT ALL. She said my eyes looked weird and i was trying to show her photos of my ex while nude and drinking wine!! She also told me i didnt have much on, asked her to try on 1 of my bathing suits then proceeded to remove my top while the door was wide open?? And some other shit again?! All i wanted was to sleep more than 3 hours a night. Not this, not this at all! maybe i'll go back to Xanax?? that one only makes me eat in my sleep.
