I was given this for acne and about one week into it I started having body aches. I read that it is a side effect so I thought I'd just Motrin it up. I was not sleeping, but I thought it was because of my body aches so I took some Tylenol pm for a couple nights. I ended up with itchy hives because I'm allergic to benadryl and I did not know that Tylenol pm contained benadryl. So my doctor told me it was the allergic reaction to the benadryl and to keep taking the sulfameth. I feel worse today and I will not take another sulfer pill. Everything on my body hurts! I'm shakey and disoriented. Tomorrow is thanksgiving, my husband is away in the service, and it's up to me to make it a great holiday for my kids. I will NOT be taking this medication (or Tylenol pm) again.

Okay folks, I've been taking metoprolol for nearly two months and It sucks big time. Came to this site because of feeling dizzy and I find that's a big problem. I keep feeling dizzier, more tired and I'm a zippy old gal, not overweight, none of that, but dang I just feel like crap and tend to drink more coffee and stuff just to keep zipping. I will take a half dose tonight and call the doc in the morning. Also have gastric problems. Heck, I would rather die of heart attack or brain aneurysm (sp, I know) than live life dizzy.

i was on 225mg of effexor daily for 5 years. at first it really helped i didnt feel so down and i had more energy than i had in years. i thought it was the best thing that ever happened to me. i started out on just the effexor but after taking it only a couple weeks i started having sleeping problems. i went for a couple nights with a few hours sleep and then i couldnt sleep at all. i finally went to the doctor,and he gave me trazadone which is also an antidepressant, to help me sleep. i remember the few times i ran out of either of them i felt nausea moody, and just a lot of bad days. i was so addicted to them that when i first tried to get off them my self i was sick for days. and couldnt get out of bed. i finally just quit them like a bad habit. i have advice for the parents out there, THE WORST THING YOU CAN DO FOR YOUR CHILD IS PUT THEM ON ANTIDEPRESSANTS

When i STOPPED taking zoloft (i think i skipped a couple nights by accident) i had the most horrible nightmares i've ever had, and they were quite vivid, 4 nights in a row and i had a great deal of trouble sleeping (mainly due to the nightmares). when i awoke, or thought i was awake, i experienced sleep paralysis for the first time in my life. so, ragtopbaby, you are not alone it seems. my doctor wasn't concerned, but she said it generally happens as a side effect of taking it; she said nothing of withdrawal syndrome, but at that point i had not realized i wasn't taking it (i might have been so tired at night i just was forgetting). however, even before i missed a few doses, some noted that i was acting almost too happy, like i was manic. occasionally this also led to difficulty sleeping but for the most part it was just quite clear that the medicine was working very well.
