I have kidney damage from taking ibuprofen and other NSAIDs for over 40 years for a bad back and arthritis. Never had any warning until a bad blood test reading for creatinine. I wonder whether taking Triamterene (Maxide generic) will cause any further damage to the kidneys. Also taking Diovan and checked internet on that drug and advises not to take if you have mild to moderate kidney damage. Any effect on kidneys by diuretics?

I was waking up with numb hands every morning for about two weeks recently; one of my friends said I should get off the Lisonopril. I found this forum and wept for relief when I read through all the postings. I had no idea that so many things I had experienced were from the drug! Sure, it lowered my BP, but I was very tired, persistent cough especially at night, depressed, blurry vision, and many other ailments. I went off the Lisinopril cold turkey the very next day and that was a month ago. I have only had one bad blood pressure headache since then and I have to say, I feel so much better. I still have the drainage and cough, but would rather fight high BP by other means that fight all those other ailments all the time.

I took Levaquin 750 for 10 days for a sinus infection. I took first 5 doses, went to see my doctor again 6 days later because I was still sick. She prescribed again 5 does of Levanquin 750. I am still coughing and I feel very tired. It did not help at all. I am still sick and I have muscle pains in my two calves and stress Achille tendon. I am a runner and I have sometimes problems with my calf: I have been not running too much recently and I was wondering how come suddenly I had those muscle pains in both my calves. I am not sure if it is related to Levaquin, but when I read all those comments, I am worried. Why I have been prescribed this antibiotics if it is obviously dangerous?
