Conciousness symptoms and conditions

My daughter went for her yearly physical with our pediatrician. That morning we went in and the doctor insisted that she get immunized. Of course that immunization was Gardasil. My daughter felt fine and she was okay that day. After the doctors appointment she went on to school, and I went on to work to complete what I thought was to be a normal day. That afternoon I picked her up from school and she told me that she thought she may be getting sick. She complained of a stomach ache, and a mild headache. We went home and she ate very little, but told me and her dad that she felt better.
That evening she was to cheer at her first football game of the season in a neighboring town. She left with her best friend and her mother around 6 pm. at 8:44 that night her best friends mom called and told us that she had passed out at the game.
By the time that we had gotten there EMT's had taken her to the local ER, at that time she had barely regained consciousness, and her temperature was 103 degrees. Her extremities were cold, and her body was burning up. Her breathing was shallow, fast and irradic. Her pulse and blood pressure was extremely high. About an hour later the convulsions started.
After what seemed like eternity, the physician narrowed this down to the side effects of Gardasil. They started IV fluids, and meds, but still to no avail she kept convulsing. After a few days of heavily sedated sleep, she awoke to blurred vision, fever and nausea.
We were not told of any adverse reactions to this drug or we would have never given it to her!

I have MS and have been taking Ambien for a few months now to help me sleep. My husband and daughter told me this morning that last night I got up from bed and was completely naked and walked out into the living room. They said I looked very wasted and was looking all around the house for some soda and them went back to bed. I can't remember any of this. It scares me. what if they were not home, would I of drove to the store naked looking for soda? This is a very dangerous side effect. It only happened one othere time when I got up and was surfing the TV channels looking for a TV program. Again, I don't remeber it happening. I also It is making my MS symptoms worse, I am having more stiffness and spasms along with blurred vision.

I took lisinopril and immediately felt a overwhelming sense of panic and doom. I fought to maintain conciousness inasmuch as this is a side effect-- that of fainting-- that can go away during treatment. Then I felt a sense of heaviness in my chest and felt very tired and fatiqued. I didn't feel like I was in my body for awhile. I was having an out of body experience . I didn't take the drug again.

I started Lamicatal May 19th, 2005. I was warned by my doctor of dangerous rash and itching. If so, stop taking medication, call him if not too bad that I need to call 911 to go to the hospital. On my print out from the CVS pharmacy is clearly stated: Serious (sometimes fatal) skin rashes have occured while using this medicine. Immediately notify your doctor if you develop any type of rash. If this medicine is the cause of the rash, the medicine must be stopped. Even after stopping this medicine. It is still possible for the rash to cause permanent or life-threatening scarring along with other problems.

Possible Side Effects:
drowsiness, trouble sleeping, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, muscle aches, double vision, blurred vision, fatigue, weakness, headache, shakiness, or clumsiness.

Symptoms of an Allergic Reaction include:
rash, itching, hives, fever, swollen glands, swelling of the lips or tongue, painful sores in the mouth or around the eyes, severe dizziness, or trouble breathing.

Symptoms of Overdose:
may include unusual dizziness, serve headache, unusual sleepiness, involuntary eye movements, and loss of consciousness.

I starting itching really bad the second day on the medication. To the point I had huge bruises allover me. I got a spurt of energy that I have not had in several years the second night but not since then. I can't go to sleep at night. Even taking 6 Tylenol PM and a Klonapin I don't get sleepy until around 9 to 100am in the morning and then I sleep all day long. I have started to have frequent headaches, suspious bumps around my mouth area. My muscles ache, too. It is Memorial day weekend so I can't call my doctor but I am going to on Tuesday. I have (MDD) Major Depression Disorder, Manic Depression, (TRD) Treatment Resistent Disorder. Nothing I have taken thus far has helped me with my depression.

Does anyone have first hand knowledge on ECT treatment? I am seriouly considering this procedure. I am desperate but I have no insurance or money because I haven't be able to work for 9 years now. This is the only thing that has kept me from getting the ECT treatments, is money! I have contacted every Talk show, hospital, clinical trials and no luck in finding free help with ECT.

Any ideas, guidance or suggestions would be most appreciated, I am dire to get help soon or I won't make it.
Sincerely,
Lost Hope

I was diagnosed with a hypo thyroid and I was on 50 mcg for about 2 months now and I suffered from heart flutters that would wake me up in the night.....My doctor uped my dose for two weeks to 75 mcg and then put me on 100mcg I only took 1 pill of 100mcg and I had heart flutters and skipps, My enternal temperature went up and down, I even lost conciousness in and out, I told the doctor about it but did not go into a clinic or hospital he said take half a pill and Ill see you tomorow, so I did and felt fine for the day then on my birthday October 27 I took 75 mcg and still I was fine for the day.....But yesterday I took 75 mcg again and last night I ended up in the hospital, my girlfriend said I went from my normal coulor to yellow and my heart rate went through the roof and I felt like I was going to through up....I also felt slow. Is all of this realy necisarry....If the doctors were diagnosing us right and giving us the right pills would we not be fine.Im 22 years and have a four year old little boy to live for and my heart rate was 110 when I went in yesterday and they had to give me a pill to slow down my heart rate....I dont find that normal for a 22 year old to have to be going through. I DONT THINK SO!
Thank you all for your stories reading the side effects from all of you has helped me slightly understand this drug a little better.

have been taking zoloft for 15 mths, gradually gone up to 300mg, and have been on that dosage for 10 mths. have experienced most symptons, dry mouth, vivid dreams (bad) tremors, weight gain. have recently had suspected seizure and have had eec, cat scan and am waiting for mmr . I have pins and needles on right side of head, involuntary spasms,, vague days and extreme tiredness. I could sleep most of the day and at night. I have to be very careful not to over exert because symptons are worse. have been worried about symptons being like ms but having visited this site am wondering if it's all down to the zoloft. Iwant to stop taking it.

Doc said I may feel drowsy for a while (actually said it will "feel like you were struck by a rolling pin, so try to not be alone") Well, he's honest to say the least. Thing is I have taken three doses, fourth due today. First one was kind of that buzzy pre-buzz feeling you may get if you have had one drink too many, but are not actually "drunk". What I'm finding scary now is the last two nights. Apparently I, ahem, fell asleep while my hubby was trying to (ahem again, sorry) "romance" me - which I've never done and I can't remember much about last night. It's like once I turn off the tv and get ready for bed now, I'm gone waaaaaaaay before I'm asleep .... does that make sence?? Yeah, I'm tired, but even in the times when I couldn't sleep for 5 nights straight I could remember things. Now it's like I'm not even "home"! This may not be because of the medicaiton - I used to "shut down" (dissociate) and pull my conciousness away from stressful situations as a kid, after my dad was struck and changed by a car accident. I'm wondering if this medication, in it's three days in my system, has taken me back a few steps in my progress out of that dark place. Yeah, things are very stressful, but until just now I could recall things and I'm "blinking in and out again". With no memories when I "go" elsewhere. I'm not a multiple personality, just to clarify. I just shut down when too much stress is piled on and it's been a rough 5 months between marital arguments, health issues of my own and my husbands, concern about my child (which parents know is overwhelming in and of itself), my mother has been hospitalized 5 times in 5 months for either heart or lung failure and is a new patient on dialysis. . I worry about my sister and her newborn. . . so it was only a matter of time I guess till my psychological instincts took over, but so fast and so furious? It has to be the Toporol reacting to my own pre-diagnosis. (in my case I don't have another "personality" I just end up going through the motions and remember nothing - I have many blank spaces from when I was a kid, and it all started after my dad went to work one night and got smashed by a truck. He lived, but came home totally different - physically he was ok, looks wise, but inside. . . .he was angry, vicious and not the man who raised me. I say often that he actually DID die that night, in his soul. He's come around lately, but now I'm 32, at the time of the accident I was an 8 year old daddy's girl who didn't get hugs anymore. . .sorry, just wanted to clarify is all) Anyone else have something like this? I don't know whether to be frightened or not even! Feel free to email if you want.
