Cant beleive symptoms and conditions

I am prone to getting uti's. I usally take cipro with no side effects and goes away with in 2 days. I went to a different dr. this time and she prescribed my bactrim. I cant believe this drug is still on the market. The first day i was fine, the second day i woke up with a major headache. I ignored cause at the time i didn't know it was from this medication. As the days went on the headache was still there and nothing seem to help it. I stared becoming dizzy all the time. On the third or forth day i became violently ill. Fever, chills, throwing up, dizzy, my entire body was sore and could not get rid of this headache. It last for about a week. When i went back to see the doctor. She told me it wasn't from the drug. I KNOW IT WAS!!! It wasn't until my husband did some research on this drug and found out i was having a allergic reaction to the bactrim. I will never take this medication again and believe it should be taken off the market.

Hello to all again. Wow that last post I have so much that is on there. I have had so many blood tests that come back normal, xrays and everything ekg, brain scan, abdominal scan. And, now I have started oo just feel like passing out all day everyday, I just had to go have a balance test done. At least they called back and I can get this out on the 4th of February. I just really hope that taking this mirena helps. I cannot believe the side effects everyone is having. Please pray for me as I will for you. I would hate for any of you to feel as absolutely shitty as I do and have for about the last 6 months. I have been scared like I am going to die, with all of the things happening and top it of with anxiety and throw a panic attack in, you have me. Please everyone keep writing, I read anxiously all day seeing what symptoms you all have too. These are mine in entirety
*Dizziness (constant)
*Anxiety
*Panic Attack
*Tingling in arms and legs, mostly left arm
*Eye Pain (spots and blurred vision)
*Abdominal Pain to left and right of belly button
*Constipation
*My throat hurts, not sore throat, the Adams apple
*Faintness all day long
*Weight Loss ( I know, different but I have lost like 15 lbs)
*Chest pain all day mostly in left breast
*Back pain
Seriously, I can barely function anymore. This SUCKS!!!

my little girl (27months) had 3 days of over 40°fever but with no seeable symptoms. the doctor reckons she has tonsillitis although she hasn't told me she has had throat pain. anyway he persuaded me to give her augmenting and she has had 3 doses now but is suddenly COMPLETELY CRAZY AND AGGRESSIVE. she was quite ill anyway and a bit wriggly but this is weird. I NEVER normally take antibiotics and cant believe i have been persuaded to give her her first dose. but this reaction (if it is to that) is so weird she also started shaking today and her lips went blue foe a while. again not sure if its the illness but my feeling gis its the drugs. should I stop?

In June I found out I had actue renal failure. One of the many medications I was given was prednisone. After a few weeks I grew so weak, tired and in a lot of pain. I even had to take a medical leave from work(4 months).
I was told to expect the moon face, hunchback, the acne..However, my sypmptoms worsened to point I didn't want to eat(lost 30 lbs) could hardly move and had to be hospitalized(almost went on dialysis). They flushed me out for a week at the hospital and avoided dialysis.
Once out of the hospital I proceeded to keep the weight off, but the side effects just mounted. I had thrush in the mouth(the worst feeling), sleeplessness, I had every side effect listed and I mean all with the exception of hallucinations and depression. The miracle was that what I was expecting weight gain, moon face did not happen.
Around September my doctor started weaning me off prednisone b/c I told him I cant take it anymore. Wouldn't you know it the minute I started getting weaned off the medication I got the moon face and acne. I cant beleive how much acne I have and the moon face and extra chin that came along with it are not cute. In 3 days I gained 10lbs and feel like I'm gainiing everyday. This might bring on the depression that has yet to occur. Why is this happening now that I'm being weaned. I started at 80mg a day and now I'm down to 30mg and next week down to 20mg.
I know this drug did its job and I pray that I dont have to be on it at all once the weaning process is over, but this is hell. I really feel doctors should tell you everything that you can expect. I didnt know enough about this drug(I know there is the internet I should have used it) and had I known then what I know now I seriously might have asked for some alternatives. This drug may be a miracle in the medical community, but for those of us who have to take it, its hell. Does anyone know how long it will take for the moon face, acne, and weight gain to go away?

Nausea, dizziness, pounding headaches, the inability to do anything but sit here and get thru these wretched side effects from a drug that I was told was non-addictive!
What a joke!
How can a drug that makes me feel this bad piossiblity be non-addictive!
Ive gone cold turkey and this is day 17 that ive been off the effexor. Mind you I had only been taking it for barly 3 months and at a relatively small dosage (1x75mg nightly), and I cant beleive how much trouble Im having trying to come off it.
How long does this drug remain in ones body?

Hi,

This is for KM #18071.The reason you have those side effects is because you decreased too much at once in such a short period time.You were supposed to decrease only 5-10 mg in 7-10 days.I cant beleive this doctors how idiots they can be.
Why the fricking heck they become doctors if they dont know how to give a prescription.My wife had the same problem, she was on prednisone for 1 1/2 months and the doctor didn't even tell us the side effects.I had to find out on my own.I feel like punching this doctors in the face of how stupid they can be!!!Take care and i hope you feel better soon.
God Bless
