I have been on Coumadin for about 2 months now after surviving a cerebral sinus venous thrombosis (blood clot on my brain - akin to a stroke). I am s 34 yo female who races triathlons and leads a very active healthy lifestyle. My side effects seem to be mild compared to what I read of others. I am on 5mg/day, except 1 day a week I take 10mg. My INR has been pretty stable. The side effects I notice are mild forgetfulness which I am hoping goes away as I start my 3rd year of law school next week! I also had some weird skin peeling on my hands, but that has subsided. I seem to urinate more often than normal and soda pop tastes weird to me now. Anyone else experience the frequent urination and/or taste issues?
Thanks!
Dana :)

The first night I started levaquin I had difficulty sleeping and woke up in a panic @ 2am. The second night I slept only 2 hours of which was restless sleep. I have had several episodes of tachycardia (high heart rate), just pounding! I have felt uneasy and anxious as well. My teeth and joints are sore. However, despite all this discomfort, my sinus infection is clearing. The pharmacist doesn't seem concerned, however I am calling my physician in the morning. I suppose this is simply the antibiotic battling the infection. I feel worse on the medication!
By the way -this is the 5 day 750mg pack. Thanks, Dana

I wish I read this page before getting Budeprion. When I heard about my sister's weight loss and her rise in energy with Welbutrin XL I had to try it out for myself. I have been on Zoloft for the past four years for OCD and depression, but my depression was getting worse. I asked for XR but I ended up with Budeprion SR. The first few days were really great and I was less depressed and I could get out of bed. That't the time when you don't want to hear about the side effects. It's there. I had the nausea, stomach cramps, constipation. I just thought if I could get over the side effects it would work, but it only gets worse. My stomach is in knots and now I've developed sinus problems. This is quits! Every time I find a new drug for depression, and every time I get knocked out by the side effects.
