Bagel symptoms and conditions

I just started taking this drug three days ago, and I am already having such bad side effects that I don't want to take it anymore. I am only 29, but have a family history of high BP, and went to the doctor last week to find out my bp was 175/90. Since starting the drug, I've been getting dizziness, but last night took the cake. I woke up around 4:30 with horrible nausea. I ran to the bathroom where I fainted while sitting on the toilet lid, wanting nothing more than to vomit. I remember waking up and looking in the mirror, and my face was as white as a sheet, as were my lips. I looked dead, and it scared the hell out of me. As I came to, I suddenly had diarrhea hit me, and once that was over, I felt better. My husband thinks my body is trying to get rid of the drug. In addition to all this, I am having palpitations and feel that my heart is beating too fast. I know that part of this is nerves, because I'm scared of taking this medication, but the fainting and nausea ARE because of the drug. I called my doctor today, and she wants me to come in to get my BP taken again. I am so scared that she won't lower the dose or (better yet) switch me to something else, because my bp always goes up at the doctor's office when I get nervous, every time. Oh, and I also started metformin last week because the doctor tested my blood sugar and it came back 250. Could it be the combination? I don't know. I just know I have only been on this stuff for a few days and already hate it and feel that it's bad for my body! It's very scary.

Took my 3rd dose of the Avelox samples my Dr. gave me for a sinus infection. Yesterday I thought it might have been the infection getting worse before it got better and the nausea was from the nasal drainage. Given Clarinix D which I thought might have been causing the dizzy, shaky feeling. Today I woke up feeling pretty good, but took the Avelox with a bagel and I felt very sick to my stomach, hot and flushed, dizzy, throbbing head and wanting to cry. I didn't take the decongestant so I know it was the Avelox. I have RA and yesterday it felt like all my joints were throbbing and I was having a flare up. My doctor's office was closed today, I won't take this again tomorrow. I'll wait until Monday to get a different antibiotic.

started this 7 days ago for a prostate infection... I thought i've been going crazy this week until i saw this post..im having a horrible reaction to this stuff..although it does seem to help my prostate...it leaves the rest of me in bad shape. First off ive been getting lightheaded like every other day to the point as i think im have a panic attack but heart isn't racing...I've gotten diarrhea 3-5 times a day i go now...i had a bagel the other day for breakfast..it was the hardest thing to eat as i felt sick to my stomach and knew i had to eat something so forced it in..today i had a banana and some grapes and 15 minutes later was throwing it all up. I just called my doctor and asked for a change in antibiotics as this thing has lead me to believe there was something wrong with me although my doctor seems to think these side effects don't generally happen...i come here and see they happen EXACTLY how i have been feeling and just hope this doesn't last much longer in my system!

I have taken 3 doses of an 8 dose course of doxy for a sinus infection. in the past i've been prescribed amoxicillin and had a little bit of dizziness on the first day but nothing severe. So when I took my first dose of doxy and felt a bit dizzy and woozy I figured it was nothing out of the ordinary. Day 2 however this got much worse with nausea and sweats and I spent most of last night trying not to throw up. This morning I woke up with no nausea and was thinking, today will be fine, the worst part is over. I wasn't due to take another dose until 6pm but at around 3pm I ate a bagel and before I had even finished it my stomach was turning over and over. That was 3 hours ago. My head is spinning, my stomach is still upset and I'm having cramps now. I've also started needing to pee like a racehorse. Suffice to say, there is no freakin way I'm taking another one of those things. I'm baffled as to why my doctor even prescribed it in the first place. I'm working on my masters right now and have an assignment due in 4 days so i have no choice but to stop the course and hope my sinus infections goes away itself. There are studies to suggest this drug is 3 times more likely to cause stomach upset than other antibiotics. Why do doctors not seem aware of this?

My doctor gave me 5 'samples' of Levaquin 750mg for a sinus infection.

2nd night I had frightening heart palpitations while sitting watching a movie with family. Later that night experienced insomnia, depression, body aches and extreme cold feeling all over despite blanket, comforter and furry throw.

3rd day I experieinced severe nausea, dizziness, over-heating, dry mouth, body pain, headaches and motion sickness on pubic transit about 2 hours after dosing. Almost passed out. Was shaking, feeling hypoglycemic. Curled in a ball praying by the end of the 45 minute bus ride.

Stopped for water and a bagel, thought it was awhile since I had eaten. 2 hours later after my appointment, same thing again o the bus ride home. Took me 2 hours to calm down.

Looked up side effects online and was shocked. My doctor knows I had a head/neck injury ( 3 dislocated vertebrae ), knows I have prescription Vicodin and Tylenol 3 for pain, but fortunately I only took one Tylenol 3 today and no Vicodin for weeks. But I did take Advil yesterday, another pain reliever my doctor knows I use, but conflicts with Levaquin.

Doctor also knows that I'm concerned about possible pre-diabetic condition as mother has developed type 2 diabetes.

Furthermore, he knows I have had bad experiences with previous prescription medications including asthma inhalers destroying tooth enamel and depression reactions to Singulair.

Apparently Levaquin and Singulair both have suicidal depression side-effects.

So why was this drug given to me?

Basically, who do I sue?

Person #41642 coming back with an update.

Have thrown up twice in 2 weeks. Always from morning doses. The first time I took one right before I ate a bagel. Got very very sick. Ever since then only taken them WITH food or after eating a meal. This morning took one after I ate a medium-sized apple for breakfast. Barely got into my office before hurling into the trash can. Maybe an hour total had passed. I guess I didn't eat enough .. I go back for a follow-up May 25th but geez I don't know if I like the thought of yacking for another 6 weeks.

I started taking Singulair for moderate to severe nasal allergies about 2 to 3 weeks ago. I found this site because I googled "Singulair" and "dreams." For the past week or so, I've been having some of the most bizaare dreams I've ever had. I wouldn't really call them nightmares, though. Also, last night, I felt odd all night, couldn't sleep well - atea half a bagel in the middle of the night, reminding myself to really chew and swallow (since I was half a sleep) so I wouldn't choke- felt like I'd taken Sudafed or a lot of caffeine or some amphetamine or other mind-altering drug...or like I was in the middle of a high fever and not myself....

So far, I haven't seen any effect with the allergies, but I've heard it could take a month. I take Zyrtec daily, but it makes me drowsy, so I was looking for something else. Did the shots for years and years...last time was probably 5 or 6 years ago. Probably helped, but now I need antihistamine every day again...The nasal steroid sprays make my nose bleed...

I think all these central nervous system affects mentioned on this site are really scary....Anything that messes with my head like that..I don't want...Thanks for posting, everyone.
