hi everyone my name is Katie, and my son has been on Sindulair for over 6 months now. I took him off 2 nights ago, the day I found this sight. I just cant believe how many families this medication has hurt. When my son was put on, I was never told anything about anything like this happening. I thought his behavior was due to the divorce and child custody things in his life that were going on. It did not cross my mind that it could ever be this medication. He does not take anything else at all.
Some of the things we have been dealing with are, panic attacks at night, bad dreams, aggressiveness, depression, anxiety! Fits that you would not believe. Crying all the time, very emotional. And the newest one, thinking everyone he loves is going to get killed. These are not things a 6 just turned 7 year old should be going through.
I got to thinking that I needed to get him some professional help, this is not normal! I decided to look up Singulair on the net, I did not find anything. I looked up Childrens depression, and angziat, still nothing fit. Then I found this site. Wow did it blow my mind. It fit and it felt right, if you are a mom, I think you know where I am coming from. When you know you just know! So I got him off the medication, and already I am seeing changes. The first night was not grate but better than it has been in a long time, the next day though, he woke up and smiled at me for the first time in way to long, he only had 2 meltdowns that day, when he was having at lest 2 in an hr before. So far so good, I just hope that It keeps going well for him.
Thank you for letting me tell my story!

I went on Simvastatin 40mgs last Christmas 2007 because of the family history of strokes, I was generally feeling very well .
Since being on statins I have felt awful , with lots of side effects " muscle cramps, upset stomach, really really tired, strange feelings in my chest and bad palpations "... I thought I was really ill.which made me very depressed.and even had test's done at the hospital to try and find what is wrong with me thankfully nothing appears to be seriously wrong" so why feel so dreadful i thought it had to be the statins!!"
I came off them my self four weeks ago ,since then I have been to see my doctor who has agreed for the time being I should be off simvastatin but consider taking a milder statin.
I do feel slightly better after four weeks ,but still get some of the side effects can any one suggest roughly how long it takes to feel like one's old self again.....Please!!!

I am 56 years old and have gone thru Menopause and have not had a period for 5 years. I just had 2 epidural injections of kenalog for my L4, L5, S1., I just had a period!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The doctors say it's not from the steroid shot. I take a sleep aid pill to help me sleep. Good news is my pain is gone.

Hi, I am only 17 years old and I am at the first week of my second Loestrin24 pack.. But I haven't got a period yet.. Should I be worried? I started as a Sunday and Day 1 starter, because I had gotten my period on a Sunday. I can't stop thinking about why I haven't got my period ?.. I've taking all my pills on time and never missed one so I don't know what went wrong? I know I posted this before, but I didn't add a few details. I'm also on an antibiotic that makes the birth-control not as effective. Well it "might" make it not as effective.

I used Nuva Ring about a year ago and decided to stop using it due to major mood swings, (Going from laughing to crying in a split second) but I recently decided to try it again, as I liked the conveinence of it and the fact that it's the only birth control I've used that hasn't made me gain weight. Well, I've had the ring in for about 2 weeks now and I'm not liking it!!! I've been feeling extremely fatigued, nauseas, constipated, experiencing heartburn, having brown spotting and abdominal cramping. I don't know if I should keep this thing in or take it out. Right now, I'm feeling sooo nauseas I'm contemplating going to the hospital.

I have read these sites and boy wait till you hear what i have to say. I had a very very severe reaction from levaquin one year ago. I had heart palpitations, nervous system was stimulated, joint pains. severe muscle twitching, firing in my neck and arms, my shoulder became locked. also I had anxiety sort of symptoms. I couldn't believe what was happening to me. I was not anxiety befor the levaquin. And balance problems I couldn't walk without tipping over. I still have this problem today but it come and goes. I have vasculitis (vascular spasms) all over my body. It effects my breathing, heart, and bowels. My blood pressure went up sky high and my blood pressure was not like this before. I am also sensitive to other medications. My body was destroyed from this drug! It belongs in HELL. Yes people need to know about this drug!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I WAS ON LUPRON FOR 6 MONTHS. IT WORKED GREAT FOR MY ENDO SYMPTOMS BUT IT CAUSED SO MANY OTHER PROBLEMS. THE HOT FLASHES WERE UNREAL. I WAS NOT MYSELF,MOODY,CRYING ALL THE TIME. IT PUT A HUGE STRAIN ON MY MARRIAGE, FAMILY,AND FRIENDS. I GAINED WEIGHT 10 LB. THE FIRST MONTH.AND ANOTHER 10 THE SECOND SHOT AND STILL COUNTING.LEG PAIN,BREAST LUMPS,DRY SKIN. IT HAS BEEN ALMOST A YEAR SINCE MY LAST SHOT. I HAVE ALL MY ENDO PAIN BACK, IT CAME BACK ALMOST AS SOON AS THE LAST SHOT WORE OFF. MY DR. WANTS ME TO DO IT AGAIN. BUT I WOULD RATHER SUFFER FROM THE ENDO. I STILL HAVE WEIGHT ISSUES, TERRIBLE MIGRAINS, SADNESS. I DON'T FEEL LIKE I AM THE SAME PERSON FROM BEFOR THE SHOT. I AM 30 YEARS OLD AND FEEL LIKE AN OLD LADY. I CAN BE FINE ONE MIN. AND THE NEXT IN SO MUCH PAIN I CAN HARDLY WALK OR SIT. I DON'T WORK BECAUSE I ONLY FEEL "GOOD" A FEW DAYS A MONTH. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY DR.'S WON'T LISTEN TO THE LADIES WHO HAVE TAKEN THIS DRUG. DO NOT TAKE LUPRON.

I've been on Yasmin for 1.5 months due to having ER surgery for ovarian cysts. In the beginning i was very very emotional and suicidal, but now i'm over that stage and just wake up sick and feeling like i could throw up every morning and dry heave. This has been going on for a little over a week.
Anyone have any suggestions of how to prevent the sick feeling? i take my pill right befor i go to bed at night.

My sister had been using advair for many years the past 6 to 12 months she had been experiencing unexplained problems. weight gain-mainly in midsection( Dr did ultrasound to check for tumor), increasing dry mouth to the point of mouth and throat sticking together Dr. did tests to rule out serious conditions but came up with no answers, She has been complaining of being tired more easily and getting short of breath unable at times to climb stairs, in the last month she was mentioning problem sleeping, acid reflux getting worse, on September 5th she had a sudden attack and died within minutes. The Dr said the cause was bronchiospasms. I heard something on TV and started doing some checking and advair has been known to be involved in sudden deaths due to bronciospasms. The symptoms she experienced in the months prior sound like they also might of been side affects or adverse reactions and the Dr. never suspected her medication when no other cause could be found. I want to warn people that if they are even possibly having adverse reactions to advair check it out closely befor continuing. My sister was only 58.

Hello,
I have been on Prednisone since October of 1987,
I take it every morning 10 mg. one morning alternating to 5mg. the next morning back and forth to keep from rejecting a Kidney Transplant that I received.
My side effect is: I have Bone deterroration in my Spine from it and I cannot quit taking it or I will loose my Transplant and have to go back on dialysis, that I was already on for 10 years befor I received the Transplant.
That dosn't give me much of a Choice.

My husband just started taking toporal 50 mg only on it 4 days, the comments we've read are scary and wanting to stop taking right away, any input on stopping it after only 4 days, he is allready having some side effects. Less than one month ago my husband started experiencing shortness of breath and muscle pain in chest, this was befor any meds and he never has had any problems befor, he never had high bp befor either, one trip to er and one dr visit later. (all ekg ,stress test normal) and was perscribed toperal.

I was glad to see a website like this. I was on predisone about 14 years ago and have suffered a lot of the same side effects. The reason you feel so hot is predisone attacks the central nervous system so I was told by a health nurse. I was hospitalized for 45 days after taking this med. I refuse to take it ever again, I really thought I was going to die. After I was released from the hospital it took 1 year befor I felt normal again, it was a long process. You are not crazy but this med. has so many side effects especially if the Dr. puts you on large doses you will begin to question your sanity and I think its time Dr.'s realize this can be a very dangerous drug. I was prescribed this med due to a skin allergy, all I can say is to make sure your doctor is aware of what is going on and if they refuse to see you and say this is normal, I'd get another Dr. real quick.

Seeing as im only 15 I didnt know how bad it could be. I was at my friends house and her uncle left the bottle in her room on accident. Befor he could relize he did that we snached the bottle up and took out a few. We washed them down and not too long after he came back to get the bottle we acted innocent. I started to feel dizzy while I was playing my video game. My neck was getting a little stiff too. My mom came to pick me up and I got in the car showing no emotion at all. I fell asleep in the car and when I got home I fell on the couch and fell asleep again. My mother told me to go to my room and I slept from 7am to 6:30pm that night. When I woke up I was suprised at what the time was and I called Mindy and she said she was asleep for two hours. I think there is nothing wrong with it if you dont take it often. If I was ever to take it again I would be really sleepy so it would knock me out.

I am going on a "mentaly young 54 yr old female. BUT I feel like I'm over 80 and hurt so bad I thought I should be dead, just that someone forgot to throw the dirt in on my grave. I have been physiclay going down hill for the past 4 yrs. with a varioty of ailment. Recently my best freind turned me onto the web site and I could not believe what I read. I'm astounded that when my syptoms first started my doctor of over 20 yrs didnt' take me off right away. I made an apt for a 2nd opinion. I defently plan on quiting, but I want to be monitored. Besides going through hair loose, my worst 2 symtoms are: my back was hurting me so bad that I was desperate enough to go to a cyroprator. I took the exray to the bone doctor and he claimed I have soliosis, and the 2nd claimes it arthritis. My spine dose have a distict S curve to it. I'm been going to physical therapy for streaching exercises which I will probly have to continue for the rest of my life just to try to keep the muscles around my spine as strong as I possible can. The other major effect is that my feet are going through something weird. It feels as if I have silicone injection in my foot just befor the toes on both feel. Like walking on small water balloons. Then of course my hip is killing me when I try to sleep, that only feels like there's a rail road spike in it. I just pray that when I do quite these effects will disapear. But after ready some of the other people's messages, I'm afraid that after 4 yrs, I'm screwed. Trust me though. If there is ever a class action lawsuite I would be more than happy to jump on the band wagon. I'm in pain no matter if I stand, sit or sleep. An after thought accurred to me. This is embarrasing but my bladder habbits have also changed. I havent had a full night sleep in years. I find myself getting up at least 2 to 3 times in the middle of the night just to go to the bath room. Has anyone else had that problem? Does anyone also know if there is something else one can do to lower cholesteral level beside this hell.
