i was prescribed cipro on may 9th, 2008. It is now September 27th 2008. i have not had a really good day between these dates. have been hospitalized. lost lots of body fluids. pain, weakness, depression, emotional problems,no appetite, no energy, agitated constantly, lost 15 lbs.,so far. have seen specialists because i have diminished eye sight and hearing loss. no patience with family. i haven't moved my bowels on my own since first dose. have to take laxatives every week to empty my bowels. i live with full body pain and stiffness every single day, all day. lost interest in my life. i am forgetting the happy, active strong, energetic positive 48 yr old woman I used to be. i know it's the cipro that's killing me. i think my dr. believes me. the other dr.s think i should either that's where I discovered what was hurting me so badly]. I looked up cipro on the computer after i saw a warning about taking cipro and found the truth of why i was so sick. accidentally found out. no symptoms, no pain. Most doctors don't want to believe me. I've told several drs., nurses, and anybody who would listen. I'd tell you more but I can't remember right now. cipro stole my memory too. May God be with us.

Levaquin 750 I took one pill almost took my life 2 days ago it felt like I swallowed a bee and it keep stinging as it went down and my blood felt like it was boiling I looked like a lobster within seconds swelled up 3 times in size I look horrible my lips swelled out my eye lids my hands everywhere and my skin turned deep purple like leather and I couldn't breathe my throat swelled shut had to call an ambulance and the had to get me breathing again and rush me into the emergency room, now I have tightness in my chest and tingling in my finger and toes and bad pain in my stomach omg they need to take this drug off the market!

I took Toprol for almost 2 years then in Aug generic came out Metoprolol and I switched over. I was taking 25mg. After a few weeks, I noticed numbness in my index finger and middle finger. Then it happened in other hand. Doc said I had tendinitis in one hand and slept wrong on the other...I was also depressed and having panic attacks. From the onset of taking Toprol my sleep was disturbed,but thought it was age related. Once I went on Metoprolol insomnia set in. Then my feet went cold and numb and my arms were so heavy and tingly and my joints hurt. My right shin hurt to touch as well. Vision was cloudy and had trouble adjusting to light changes. Finally it dawned on my that the changes occurred about the time I started the generic. I went back to doc and he pretty much told me I was crazy, prescribed Xanax and a session with a psychiatrist! He switched me back to Toprol and I felt no better then he switched me to
Atenolol with same result. By this time, my chest was on fire and I had extreme difficultly breathing. Called doc and he told me to stop cold turkey. I did and thought I was going to die one day. Throat closed up blood pressure soared. He stopped me on Nov 11 or 12th. I have been on nothing. Blood pressure is not leveled. When I first sit down it is like 140/93. If I wait a few minutes it goes down to 120/80 or a little lower. I was expecting to feel a lot better by this point in the game. I still have numbness in my pinky and ring finger and in my toes. If I take Advil it lessens to where it is not so bothersome. Anyone know how long this stuff takes to get out of your system? I am shopping for a new doc since mine know things I am a hypo. I am a 39 yr old female with no other health issues. Was originally put on for stress related palps.

Hi, I've posted before, but I'm back with a few new symptoms....
I have been taking Yasmin since I don't know when. I was one of the first at my OB/GYN office to get on it when it first came out. Egad, what a crappy, painful life Yasmin produces.
I seriously do not think that I have felt "well" since I have been on it. I have constant body aches, nausea, bowel problems, abdominal pain, tremendous pain in the gall bladder area which resulted in surgery that probably wasn't totally needed, leg pain and cramping (feels like a shin-splint...without having worked out), constant emotional outbursts, facial hair growth, absolutely NO sex drive, and migraines that I had never, ever had before...basically I feel like an ogre with a really bad case of the flu.
My newest "problem" is that my periods all of the sudden only last two days and are very light. I know that some people would be happy with that symptom, but this is NOT normal. One box of "Lite" tampons will last me 3 months. I think that this is the LAST STRAW with me and Yasmin. I just started a new pack, but I took the last one I will ever take this morning. I would rather enjoy having sex with my finance(I'm sure he would like that too because I just don't want to do it EVER right now), not bark at people or cry for no reason, have less body pain, and maybe...for once in many years...FEEL GOOD.
I really feel that if I continue on this crap...I'll either never be able to have children (which I do want), or I will end up killing myself or possibly my finance because I cannot control my emotions. For those of you who tout the wonders of Yasmin...I used to think it was great too before I figured out that I didn't feel this way before taking it. Feeling like shit every day of your life changes your outlook. I'll take menstrual cramps and ovarian cysts over all of this any day.

I finished taking seven days worth of Levaquin about one week ago. I feel like I am dying. I have Fibromyalgia so I thought I was having a bad flareup. I told my husband this is the worst I've ever felt. I usually exercise, walk, swim and try to move so I dont get stiff from the fibromyalgia. This is very different. My muscles in my thighs and calves are burning, upper body weakness, bizzare nightmares (I usually dont remember my dreams). I cant get out of bed untill around 11:00. I just keep falling asleep when I try to get up earlier. I try to get some exercise and fall onto the couch in tears. I cant think straight and I am so weak. I cant believe my Dr. gave it to me knowing I suffer from chronic pain already. I took it in the past and stopped because of nausea and depression. But I wanted to tough it out this time to get rid of UTI. I also read that you should not take if you have had a reaction to Cipro. I had huge hives from cipro. I wish I had that reaction with the Leviquin so I wouldn't have full body pain. Even my feet hurt. I wish I never heard of this drug!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My daughter started this med sulfameth for a bladder infection. The first 3 days she suffered a severe headache. Next followed by knee pain, body pain. Third day severe rash, fever. Completely out of it. She started it on a Friday, by Tuesday morning we were at the ER. I called her Dr. office Monday and told her what she was going through and she stated that this medicine would not cause her to have these systoms. I am furious, my daughter was out of school a week, and is still feeling weak. I have never been more scared for her. This should be banned completely. I would love to sue. I am also furious with the Dr.'s office for not realizing these side effects, and other people could get this as well.

I had a Kenalog shot in May and my life has not been the same since. I went to a doctor for shoulder blade pain which he immediately diagnosed as muscular. I never believed it to be muscular pain, as the pain started while I was at rest. 4 days after the shot the pain started spreading downward into my kidneys and stomach. I couldn't eat due to extreme intestinal distress. I lost 16 lbs over the next few weeks. I later learned Kenalog can cause ulcers, plus I was on Ibuprofen (which the doctor never asked me) which can increase the risk of intestinal damage. It is over 2 months later and I can't tell you the hell I have lived in - I am still sick, severe body pain and neurological pins and needles sensation. I spoke with a lawyer who said doctors are bound by their attorneys to never admit their drug could cause damage, he also said the Kenalog could have been bad or tainted. My leg/body pain is severe and I don't know if I will ever be the same again. I have not had a period since the shot. One doctor suggested the Kenalog could have stressed my system and released a dormant virus. Or the original shoulder blade pain was an infection and the Kenalog disseminated throughout my body. There is no answer or relief. It suppresses the immune system and cause false negatives on blood tests.
All I can say is please say a pray for me and stay away from Kenalog.

I have been on Lisinopril for one week now and have been very fatigued. Yes, my BP has decreased from approx. 147/90 to 135/70. However I'm not happy feeling so tired and worn out. I'm also experiencing some ringing in the ears and a bit of abnormal body pain resembling arthritis.

It was a beautiful thing to sleep...after a lifetime of insomnia. But then my boyfriend confronted me about my silly behavior at night -making elaborate desserts and leaving a big mess. I would have no memory of this. He told me I looked like I was wasted. I gained ten pounds. One night, I went out in my car to get ice cream! I had no memory of this trip, but I dented my car and knocked a tire out of balance. I have read other postings of people who have tried to drive and been arrested for DUI! Scary.

Still, this didn't worry me nearly as much as my declining health: tremors, fatique, depression, lethargy and worst of all severe all-over muscle pain, sinitus... I was becoming completely debilitated and suicidal because I couldn't work, travel, play...etc. Just suffering all the time. I've been off Ambien for one week and my symptoms have suddenly lifted! (I also increased Zoloft)

I still don't know if it's a coincidence or just a temporary respite. I miss sleeping, but I can't believe I feel so much better! Has anyone else had severe body pain with Ambien?

I can understand some peoples concern for others stopping their medication without completing the full peried of time.. However, sometimes, it is unavoidable.. My mother is terminally ill. She has a bed sore that involves a staff infection. They put her on Levaquin for one week. She experineced sever stomach pain, overall body pain.. You couldn't touch her without her crying out in pain.. She would barely eat or drink. At one point the nurses thought she might be having a heart attack as the whole left side of her body had shooting pains up and down it.. I asked then if they thought it might be the antibiotic as it started the day after she took the first dose. They didn't think so.

A couple of weeks later, the infection in the sore resurfaced, and they started her on another round of Levaquin. Same exact symptoms, only this time she started getting body swelling, she could not hardly swallow, and was terribly short of breath.. It was horrible, but again dispite my concerns, they made me continue the med with her and even wanted her to have an extra weeks worth..

After 8 days, I had had enough.. My mother was suffering extensively, it was as if this medication would kill her before her terminal illness would.. I INSISTED that they take her off this med...Three day have passed.. She has some of her appitite back, the swelling went away, you can touch her now except that her heel is still very sore. She is alert and can swallow again.. NO ONE will tell me is wasn't because of Levaquin.. No more shortness of breath.. All the serious side affects have diminished greatly.. I have recently read that people with heart disease as well as mild renal failure should be watched closely with this med.. My mother has both as well as COPD...Why did they even prescribe this med for her??

OMG I was under the impression that i was taking the miricle BC, i guess i am not (and i am not going crazy). I had been off BC of about a year when my doctor told me that i needed to go back on it. I had been complaining of servere cramps, and other misc. lower body pain, we decided to put me on Otrtho Cyclen after 1 1/2 weeks i called and begged that he switch me or take me off. I was going nuts. So they put me on Yasmin, and i started feeling different, not better, but I am so freaking tired, and lethargic that it is discusting. I don't want to have sex, I want to eat everything in sight, I have headaches all the time.

The bummer part is that when i had my period i had one cramp, and no PMS. That's all fine and dandy, though the trade off on the emotional side is going to put me in the hospital. I would rather have the pain then this. I am so glad that i found this board, I was starting to think that it was just me. Based on what i have read here and what i ma going through, I now know that atleast 90% of it is not me and i am not taking that pill anymore.

I was given Levaquin for Pneumonia at the local ER. I have taken it four days and will stop today. On the third day, the skin on my upper body became very sore to the touch, my hands felt swollen and I had nonspecific upper body pain. On day four, my hands began hurt in the joints. I've also had really weird dreams, fatigue, and reduced ability to focus. I will ask my GP for some other type of antibiotic. I'm very healthy and have not taken an antibiotic in years.

weight gain, headaches, body pain, no sleep

I started taking Kenalog shots for foot pain and over all body pain and it cleared my allergies and hayfever for about 9 weeks per shot.By: Guest
