Boom symptoms and conditions

Wow, I thought I was going crazy. I've been so sick the last week but didn't think it would be this new medication. I'm taking 150 mg once a day for 15 days. I have three left of which are going in the garbage. I missed a family reunion today because I'm so tired I can't function. It's like someone gave me a sleeping pill. I've taken three pregnancy tests of which they were all negative thinking I was pregnant. The nausea is horrible. Just talking about food makes me vomit. I have stomach cramps, severe lower back pain, my heart feels like it's doing flip flops at night. My face feels very hot at times. My hands feel like raw nerve endings when put in cold water or wind blows over them. My arms tingle and hurt when exposed to the sun. I just want to lay in bed and not face the world. I've been dieting and lost 15 pounds prior to starting the medication. Boom, all that stopped. Still doing all the workouts and carefully eating but have gained 4 pounds back. Very disappointing. I am so glad I found this site. You won't find this information on the manufactures website.

My side effects are now going to be posted. severe to absolute mind boggling head aches, so bad couldn't even function. Burning eyes, depression. Racing heart, Panic attacks, insomnia. Burning skin especially on face around eyes, and i was given this awful drug, for my eyes. tired all the time. emotional to no end , and then again those constant headaches. I was given this nasty med to take for 2-3 months. Whatever. After finding this site, and coming to the conclusion that this deadly med has to be causing me so many problems, i am done and thinking about suing the drug company , that approved this.Please e-mail me at ****** I will give you ant information I get from all this. oh yes, lots more side effects, but we will start here.

simvastatin causes nightmares that's why your sweating so bad. I have never had nightmares since I was a kid. I started taking simvastatin (zocor) and the first night I sweated and woke up with a racing heart. I didn't know why. The 2nd night I woke up and thought someone was in my room I saw someone in the dark run across the room. I jumped up jammed my hand into my draw pulling my hand gun out. Now that Im fully awake I don't see anything. I'm so wound up I can't sleep the rest of the night. The next day today I do a google search about nightmares and boom found a new study that Statin's cause nightmares because it penitrates into the brain. Its made out of a fungus. Anyway i'm done with statin's My ratio is 3.63 so not too bad but I think diet and exercise with fish oil will do it. If you have to be on this stuff there are 2 that don't get into the brain. Check it out Pravachol and Crestor.

I had spider bites that got infected. I was given Sulfamethoxazole (double strength) two tablets, two times a day. I was getting symptoms like dizziness, disorientation, and leg weakness so I lowered my dosage as a precaution then...boom, I was sent into a seizure. I am very scared of the nerve damage that has been done.

I had my thyroid removed 16 months ago. I had nodules and biopsies, but the biopsies couldn't tell if the nodules were cancerous or not---so I had the whole thyroid removed at my doctor's advice. I have been taking Synthroid and increasing the dosage---now up to 200---and I have gained 37 pounds!! I can't stand myself any more, none of my clothes fit,and I am so unhappy. I had gastric bypass surgery 9 years ago and lost 123 lbs. I had gained 20 lbs, but was stable for 7 years. Then I had the tyroidectomy and -boom- I'm fat again. I am really panicked. I don't want to gain all my weight back. It seems like I get fatter every day. My endo doesn't take me seriously, he says my thryoid is at the right level. I don't know what to do!!!!

(continuation ) very frustrating for me, to feel that ur bleeding like all the time, i thought its not gonna stop. My hair was falling so much,(that i can make noodles out of it!!!)

I also have joints pain. I only gained 7-8 kg. during my entire pregnancy. I was 58 kg. losing weight isn't problem for me, one week after my delivery i lost almost all of it, without doing any effort. Yeah of course i cant eat and sleep much, i have to feed my baby,etc.. -that's why i lost right away.

After the mirena--wow! feel like im pregnant again, craving for something..like i wanna eat something salty, something this and that.boom!!! 55 kg!!

Im mirena free for 2 days now , and i feel much better!!! Im having light bleeding after the removal, but its ok, at least i know for sure that im not gonna bleed more that 1 month.

Im back to normal, hehe normal me, happy, and stress free!! I feel great!
Huh so difficult to be a women hehehe- right now i wanna be free from any contraceptives, and let my body rest for a while. Im thinking Implanon, i have few friends using implanon and it works good on them.

But anyway, im happy for those of you who found the right one.

Good luck everyone!

I have read a ton of the posts in this category. I have been taking Lisinopril as an addition to my regular blood pressure medication for approximately 3 years, with absolutely no problems. My 10mg was increased to 20mg a week ago. Still no problems. It has only helped me. If there are any changes, I will definitely post it. I believe that symptoms can arise from reading an article. I actually know a couple people who read things, and suddenly they are convinced they have the problem or disease referenced. I call it an Epidemic of Diagnoses. Always seek a doctors advice before stopping medications. Stopping suddenly on certain drugs, can be more dangerous than taking them.

My 2 yr old son was prescribed omnicef for an ear infection. I will never give him this drug again. Severe diarreah, horrible diaper rash, I could hear his little stomach gurgling and then boom!!! Explosive BM and screams to go with it and he woke up in middle of the night very angry throwing things. There has got to be something else. This drug should not be given to children!

After taking leviquin for 5 days, I realized that my knees were getting so stiff that I could hardly get up and down. I have a torn cartilage in my left knee but it does not require surgery. I had been very active doing yardwork, riding bicycle, et. and then, BOOM, I couldn't figure out why I was having so much problem with my knees. I take the herbal joint complex all the time which always helps with any arthritis. While I was so sick with this sinus problem, I forgot to take my joint complex so I figured that was my problem but I have found nothing that does it any good at this point. This is the 6th day after the leviquin and I am still as stiff in my knees as I was in the beginning. I have been taking advil at least twice a day. I had no idea that this medicine could have caused it but decided to look it up on the internet and was shocked to find out how many people are affected this way. I can assure you that I will not take Leviquin again
ever.

Wow, the more postings that come up, the more discouraged I get. Gosh, I went on this stuff to take care of cysts that made me nauseous, tired, and bloated but the more I read here the more I realize that the symptoms are just being magnified by the medication that is supposed to help me. Geesh.

As for going to the gym - girl, I feel you! I miss kickboxing SO bad and it took everything I had to go back last night and when I did - BOOM - I puke.

I have a lot of imbalances as it is (OCD and PTSD) and I take Effexxor for it. It does WONDERS for my depression and OCD and unlike Paxil, I didn't gain weight on it. No, I'm gaining weight because I can't get enough energy to even take a pee non-the-less go to the gym:-( I just feel so sloppy floppy right now.

Sympathetically yours,

I have been mistified lately by what has been going on with me. I have allergies that are not under control. I take Zyrtec and flonase. When I went into my Dr. complaining that I didn't feel well. She said it was allergies and that I should try Singulair since it has been approved for allergies. Well I felt better for a couple of days and then boom! Sore throat, ear popping, fatigue, neck stiffness, upper abdomen tenderness and swollen glands under my jaw. No fever though. I thought perhaps I had Mono. So I had the Mono test done and it was negative. Now I read these posts, and I am thinking it could be the singulair. I can barely function during the day, and have been taking 3 hour naps! Wow. I will stop taking it today and let you all know how I am doing in a couple of days!
