Beers symptoms and conditions

I'm a 47 yr old male who has constant sinus problems and recently( 2 weeks ago)had a bad sinus infection. I exercise regularly and am in pretty good shape(or so I would like to think). I have never had a bad allergic reaction that I can remember to anything. I was given a 10 day supply of Avelox to clear it up as I was supposed to go in for a sinus operation tomorrow. While I was on the Avelox last time, I don't remember experiencing any significant problems and I wasn't the best patient. I doubled up on doses in the beginning figuring it would work faster, took it on a empty stomach, drank a few beers over the weekend, etc. I went off of it a week ago and then this week I started to feel some cold symptoms coming on. Then yesterday at my pre-op visit my ENT gave me 2 pills (1 per day) to take prior to the surgery to "be on the safe side". I took one at 5 PM last night on an empty stomach and headed off to martial arts class. By the time I got there 20 minutes later I was feeling funny. I tried to work out but I felt lightheaded and had severe stomach pains. Then I had a hard time catching my breath under the slightest exertion. I normally jog 2-3 miles a couple of times a week with no problems so I was concerned. I left class and barely made it home. The only reason I didn't have a full blown anxiety attack was because I have suffered with them for years and recently feel I have been able to control them better. When I got home I was beet red from head to toe and my wife wanted me to go to the ER. I realized that it was a reaction to the Avelox and basically rode it out but it took about 3-4 hrs before I felt better again. I'm still not right today and I canceled my surgery for tomorrow. Now the ENT doctor wants to put me on something else before the surgery and I'm wondering if that's going to cause any problems.

I am a 46 y/o male whom took lipitor 20mg for about 10 days. It was the first medication taken for me aside from occasional antibiotics. Within a week I began to develop severe nausea, weakness, postural dizziness and worst of all, chest pain at rest! I took my last dose last Saturday 8/9/08. Because of the chest pain, I went to the ER on 8/10/08 and discharged the next day after I ruled out for an MI and a negative exercise stress test. My chest pain recurred on 8/12. This AM awoke with nausea, dizziness and chest pain again. I'm going to have an adenosine stress test this PM. I consulted a pharmacologist yesterday about the metabolism of Lipitor and she told me indeed these side effects are not uncommon and in my case, Lipitor will not be eliminated from my body until probably this Sunday or early next week. Anyone experience what I'm feeling?

Add me to the list of people who will never take this crap again. 38 years old, never been on birth control. My obgyn sang this pills praises about how it will help with my mood swings and severr cramps due to severe pms. The headaches were awful, by boobs doubled in size, I gained 4lbs in 1 week, moodiness, feelings of being out of control, depression worsened, felt crazy, angry, short tempered. Memory loss, my speech was affected. I'm normally a very decisive, direct communicator and I couldn't find words to complete a sentence. My short term memory was shot. I think I will stick with a few beers to get through my pms. This stuff was not worth it.

I have just been switched to Synthroid (by my Endocrinologist) after being on Armour for 4 years. I have to tell all you out there that think "Armour" is the save all drug..and believe me I am not an advocate of Synthroid either because I have not been on it long enough to know what possible side effects I might have..however when I first started on Armour I felt like I did before I had been diagnosed with Hypothyroidism ..then about 1 yr ago I started to gain rate rapidly like 40lbs in 6 months feeling sluggish, off and on skin problems, puffy hands, face, feet,hives, pimples in the back of my head almost hive like,some hair loss that is noticeable to me as I have had very thick curly hair all my life now it is getting noticeably thin and It is making me very nervous...My Endo put me on .75 mcg Synthroid and .5mcg Cytomel which she calls a "controlled Armour"..Armour does not stay consistent with your T4's and T3 levels and that is what cause my thyroid to become suppressed and these are the symptoms I was experiencing...she also put me on Spironolactone which is a mild diuretic to lose the puffiness in my face,hands,and feet and so far so good...Like I stated earlier, I am not an advocate of Synthroid or Armour our any drug for that matter, I just want to find what is right for me and stick with it..and if Synthroid doesn't work for me, then I will try something else...Just remember one very important thing.."You" are the only one who knows how you feel and Dr's are not God they can't fix everyone that is why its very important to read about your disease and find out what things might work for you..I suggest getting this book I bought that was recommended to me by my Endocrinologist called "Screaming to be Heard" Hormone connections women suspect and doctors still ignore written by Elizabeth Lee Vliet, MD...its a fabulous book and I am sure all you women can relate to this book...its all about us....Most important thing is to stay healthy eat a well balance diet and exercise..also find out about the foods that only worsen thyroid problems...

Anybody concerned about their pill symptoms, look up CANDIDA. It is related to so many symptoms and my latest thoughts are, The pill causes candida and candida causes the symptoms. This means your body may not go back in check after stopping the pill.

I have had
Mood "problems" we'll call them,
headaches mostly as a soreness in my temples,
Dizziness,
Sore feet,
Random cramps in legs,
Flu like aches and pains,
Chemical sensitivity,
Fatigue,
Stomach problems
Decreasing ability to concentrate,
Severe and sudden beer intolerance, meaning taking only 2 beers to get a wicked hangover,
Sudden noise and light sensitivity,

To keep it kinda short here, I just kept telling my doctors, I feel like I'm getting old. I'm 27! I think this pill gave me a great breeding ground for candida and candida did the rest. Look it up!

For the first two days, I was depressed and sluggish. I had no sex drive. My pulse was slow no matter what. On the third day, I forced myself to workout...a 2-hour bike ride followed by pull-ups and push-ups. Felt fine. Kind of strange at times, but my heart did not beat quite as fast as before. Have been working out everyday since. Can't drink alcohol now that I'm on this stuff. 1-3 beers knocks me right out! Felt dizzy when I got out a chair too quickly today. Curious to see what is in store for me.

Hi
Am based in Uk,and am 47 yrs old.Was prescribed the wonder drug just before xmas 2006 for muscle inflamation.
Boy.............did i experience the worst xmas ever........was on 40mg (8 tablets a day).....besides making me hyper (where normally i can chill out) this drug made me feel i was losing it.I would have constant panic attacks,where at times i needed to get out of where ever i was and go for a long walk (which didn`t help my muscle inflamation).Felt very claustraphopbic.....everything looked dark.Lost sleep and had mood swings so far out of character that far from being the rational business man i once was i became a dithering wreck.Started having problems with my vision after 7 days and found out that the medicine induced glaucoma.
see what i mean by a great xmas!!!!!!!!!
Have been off the Drugs now for 2 weeks but still having problems with the sleep.Eye pressure back to normal and thankfully starting to regain my sanity back.No longer that hyper but still having mild panic attacks and still can not really sit and chill like i used to.My sleeping pattern is probably 3hrs a night so i am hoping that gets back to normal......... with a help of a few beers (before that is stopped)
New doctors wants to put me back on,but on a lower dose.............never.........have to look at alternatives

I have been on Lisinopril for 8 years, and I have an occasional cough maybe once a day or 2 days. My B/P has been under control always. I have no other problems with it, I also don't have any sexual problems, and sometimes I drink my beers, and take my daily walks. Thanks LISINOPRIL

Iwas only on advair for 1 month and stopped yesterday. on 3 occasions, I noticed a dircet cause/effect after a few beers. There were no side effects before the 1st beer and continued effects afterwards. Even 12 hours after I stopped, and the side effects were subsiding, they worsened after 1 beer. Curious to know whether those with side effects are/were drinkers and conversely, those without effects are non-drinkers.

man, i took levaquin and guaifenex my first night, along with ibuprofen, and a number of beers.......and i felt fine. i didn't see any midgets, dream of billy goats eating me, or feel like my knee caps were falling off. are you sure you guys aren't just trying to scare people?? on a sidenote, my tonsils still feel swollen.

Well i took 8 of the 10mg Flexeril tablets, and washed them down with 12 beers. After the first three i dont remember anything.
