I am a 32 year old female diagnosed with asthma and allergies as a child. This is very reassuring for me, all these posts, because I thought there was something really wrong with me. Maybe it will be as simple as not taking Singulair anymore. Today is day one. I have been taking 10 mg a day for the past 7 years. I have had increasing thoughts of suicide, have terrible moods swings, am paranoid and suspicious of everything, and a rash that comes and goes. I am severely depressed and have absolutely no interest in activities I once enjoyed. I saw the news a few days ago and there was some talk of singulair linked to suicide and I felt so relieved. I was so uncomfortable telling anyone about how I was feeling because it didn't make any sense. I was always blowing things way out of proportion in my head and couldn't talk myself out of it. I used to exercise, read, paint, and socialize. I never do any of those things anymore. I'm happy at work because I have to be, and am distracted by my clients. But as soon as the workday ends I drive home feeling empty and when I get home I get the bare minimum of chores done. I used to go walking with my IPOD and rollerblade in the park. Now I sit and watch TV for hours and have significant trouble sleeping.

I am on 300mg for bipolar. I am having trouble concentrating, remembering (i forget what i'm doing while i am doing it!), I often worry about driving-just don't feel like i can focus well enough-riding down the road thinking "hope i know what i'm doing". It is like i daydream constantly with periods of not daydreaming. I feel pretty cheerful and not having any real emotional problems, but the physical problems are a mess. I am so tired that i feel like every single day is a "well i'm sick today, i'll give myself a break, maybe i'll feel better tomorrow". i do have better days sometimes, but for the most part, i feel kind of useless-not "useless" like i'm depressed-i mean "useless" like i get nothing done and it takes me two hours to get some lunch for myself and my three-yr-old child, and i mostly sit around because i'm "taking a break" and my legs are so sore or i have a headache or i feel shaky, or nauseated - each day, i feel so sleepy i am desperate for my husband to get home to care for my daughter (and me)-it feels like i took NyQuil or Benadryl or something! So, i am literally pretty useless. It's such a shame. I can't find a medicine to help me cope, it is always a trade-off...and going on and off them to try another is a nightmare. At least, right now, it is just a daydream...

I was prescribed Propoxy after sustaining a heel injury. A water cooler feel on my heel...and I received a deep cut that required 15 stitches. Bruising on my heel, ankle and calf...was a really bad freak accident. I was taking Propoxy for twelve days and then suddenly quit as I no longer required to take it though I have a quarter of a prescription bottle full of the pills.
I have been experiecing the feeling of nausea...and pain in my intestines as if I was constipated. I called the local pharmacy and the pharmacists says it can give you constipation and so that explained the pain in my intestines. So I am now eating bulk. My tast buds have suffered not hungry nor do I find anything appetizing to eat.
It's been three days since I quit taking the meds. Quit cold turkey and hope to feel better tomorrow after feeling sick for three days.

I have been on Levaquin for 2 days. My Doctor had me take a 750 mg dose before I left his office. I am taking them due to a nasty bladder and kidney infection. I hurt more than I ever remember hurting...it is like someone used me for a punching bag and it continues to get worse, not better. I ache horribly. I cannot taste anything and I couldn't sleep more than two hours last night. I range between feeling hot and having the sweats to having the chills. If I don't feel better tomorrow, I will go to the hospital.
