Cold shivers symptoms and conditions

I just HAVE to add my story here!! I was on Lexapro 20mg for 2yrs. All was pretty well. It somewhat controlled my anxiety & panic attacks (I have GAD) and it helped stabilize my moods (I am Bipolar), BUT I DIDN'T like that it made it to where I couldn't cry when I wanted to but yet cried at inappropriate times! I basically came to a stand-still with the lexapro and it KILLED my sex drive, so bad that my relationship was at risk (well, thats what I think, cuz no man is happy with NO sex!!) So, I SLOWLY came off them over a month, and even though it was very slowly, the WITHDRAWAL from this drug is just a horrible experience that I hope none of you that are taking now, will ever have to go through what I did!! I seriously thought at one point I was going to die!! I was severely sick for one week-- nausea, vomiting, the runs, hot flashes, cold flashes, the shakes, internal tremors, severe migraines, dizziness when I sat up or stood up, and I got bad electrical zap feelings in my hands & brain (which, even one month & 3 weeks later, I am still having!!) But to you all still on them, I also had weight gain on them, head rushes, dizziness, headaches, internal tremors, and I didn't like that it made me generally dumb!!! Since coming off, I still have the "duhhh" moments, getting less & less, thank goodness, now if only these darn "Zaps" would go away. But yeah, the side effects of this & the withdrawals are HORRIBLE!!! I will never take this again!! So much for newer drugs eh!!

I had been on nuva ring fr a mere 2 weeks and I ended up being rushed to hospital with a 39.2 degree temperature.I also had other awful side effects- like sore joints- my legs were so sore-sore back- i couldnt walk properly on some days my legs felt so "heavy" i had the hot and cold shivers -also- a horrible daily clear discharge which i could actually "feel" coming out ......i took the nuva ring out and it still has left me with an infection.im not saying to other women to not use the nuva ring.just make sure you read the pamphlet properly and know what side effects to look for.

I'm a 33 year old female. While taking Nitrofurant I was sick for 7 plus days with flu like symptoms, cold shivers and hot sweats, severe headaches, nausea, numbness in my finertips and toes, severe pain in my legs, severe vomiting, lack of appatite, and hallucinations. The symptoms got progressively worse during the course of taking the medication.
