I was prescribed Levaquin a couple of years ago and I thought that I was crazy. During the time I took the drug, I felt this horrible sensation in my leg as kind of like the feeling when your leg has fallen asleep and it's coming out. It was a horrible tingle that just persisted to the point where I thought I was going crazy. I had to call an ambulance becuase I couldn't take that intense feeling any longer, people were telling me that I was delusional but now I find out after reading on this site that it had to be the Levaquin. Recently I was prescribed Levaquin for a sinus infection and I have the worse lower back pain I have ever experienced in my life. I couldn't figure out why I was having so much pain not only in my lower back but throughout my loints and now I realize that it was the drug. I will never usr levaquin again.

My father has always been level-headed and NOT ever prone to hallucinations. He is a rational and
He is in the hospital and for 4 days they have had him on this drug. . After a few days on it, he started seeing things that don't exist. He can be lucid one moment and then anxious and paranoid the next. He slips in and out of this irrational behavior. He becomes filled with fear that he is being abandoned by us and in an unknown place. He sees people and things that don't exist. He sweats and
trembles. We are very worried. Aren't there other antibiotics available? We are complaining, but hospital tries to pretend they have no clue as to these side effects.
NOW, After reading more about this dangerous and mind-altering drug, we believe that it needs to be withdrawn from the market and further tested. We are going through hell and my poor father is extremely confused and getting worse. We fear what will happen next. What can we do to get the hospital to withdraw this drug from him while at the ssame time continue to meet his needs? before this drug was administered, he was mentally stable. To clear an infection (pneumonia, which started in the hospital) do we need to sit by and watch an intelligent man become extremely disoriented, shakey, panicked and progressively becoming delusional???

I have MS and was put on this medication for an episode I was having, severe vertigo. The veritgo would hit while driving on the freeway or at any other time of the day or night; therefore, the doctor felt the best action would be to take massive doses of Prednisone in hopes it would stop the vertigo. With all the side-effects I had from taking this drug it may have been better dealing with the vertigo!
I was NOT informed to check my blood sugars, I am a Type-2 diabetic, but was instructed to eat every 4 hours with each dose I took. I ended up in the emergency room with blood sugars over 600. My vision was effected to the point I didn't need my prescription lenses to see. I had insomnia. Couldn't stop drinking water, nor going to the bathroom (not sure if that was blood suger related, the drug, or both). I was delusional (and not normally so). I had the acid/reflux so bad that it was difficult to swallow food every 4 hours which lead to early tappering off the drug. I developed acne over my face and chest. I ached everywhere and felt like I would die.
The positive experiences I got from my Prednisone was the bond I developed through sharing my side-effects with another person who had also had bad experiences with the drug. I could see the leaves on the trees yards away without my glasses. My sight returned to "normal" about 2 weeks to a month after the treatment ended. The vertigo stopped and the loss of the use in my right hand and arm (MS related) came back 100%. I appreciate the life I have been given and am greatful for my health.

Today is a good day for me, I've having some of the symptoms of the above users of Yasmin. I've been on Yasmin for 5 years and a year ago I've noticed some changes and experiences in my body the main is consistency of Yeast infection which sometimes lead to unrinary tract infection. I never knew what was happening to me as I've not been active for months now. A week ago I started weeding out the possibilities of the cause of this and I came up with my birth control Yasmin.
I began searching the Internet on for the side effects of Yasmin and stumbled upon this site. I have three more pills to go in this package and then that is it for now! I will no longer take this pill. I do not care about the side effects of not taking it! So help me God they will go away even if it takes years to correct it! It took years to get to this point therefore i will be patient with my body to get back to normal.
As with many of you I took birth control to control my flow of period as well as cramps. I know woman's body is different where some can tolerate this and some cannot but I am willing to give it a try. What really bothers me about this is the fact that the symptoms just creep up on you without you even knowing and if you don't take time out to research your emotions and search through your soul and body slowly you will never get it that a simple BCP could mess you up like that. Today I am thankful for keeping that thought of research my birth control pills since last night and keeping it.
I am blessed to hear the testimonies and to know that I am not delusional. I stumbled upon this site for a reason.
Today my healing begins..

I loved this drug after I had serious knee replacement surgery, but I was delusional because I was so high all the time. I was happy and thought everything was fine until I almost burned the house down one night because I wasn't really aware enough to know what was going on around me. I took it for six weeks and then I had to stop. This is another adventure because the high is not worth the low ladies and gentlemen. I had shaking, sweating, episodes at night for a few weeks and then I was Ms. meanie too. This is a dangerous drug, and I was dangerous on it, it is highly addictive, stay away from it.

I loved this drug after I had knee surgery, I was of course kidding myself because I was delusional. I was so high all the time I to this day do not remember too much of what I did. The high is not worth the low ladies and gentlemen. I thought everything was fine and I was very happy until I almost burned the house down because I did not care what happened to me or anyone else as long as I had this drug. I would stay up late at night every night and do things I had never done, like watch tv until the wee hours. This is a very addictive drug, stay away from it because when you have to stop taking it you almost go crazy. It is dangerous and should have a scull and crossbones on the side of the bottle.

It seems my husbands death was intentional not sure if was the side effects from the morphine. He seemed to have a false sense of well being but was suffering emotionaly eternally. I believe he was delusional and extremely irritable. The doctors did not seem to be concerned. I am now left to pick up the pieces of my life

Horrible drug! I was on 3x the normal dosage for a skinny teen female for over a year. (225g 3x a day) The weirdest side effect that I noticed while taking the drug was some 'possession' problems. It would be as if I left my body and someone else took over. I recognized that my body was moving, but I had no control over it.
After I lost my prescription insurance, I couldn't pay the 300 dollar per month bill for this one drug, so I had to stop. It was too fast. The withdrawl symptoms are horrid. I was delusional, hysterical, almost bi-polar, pretty much everything the drug was supposed to get rid of, happened. (I was taking it for depression only) There was a suicide attempt while the symptoms were happening.
Suggestion: either never start or never stop because this drug is nasty. Doesn't even help the depression!

I took ambien about 5 years. I noticed I would wake up with food in my bed or candy wrappers all over the bed. I mentioned it to my doctor, and he shrugged his shoulders and laughed. Later, when my dad died I went crazy and would get up at night and talk delusional with outrage. They told me I had became bi-polar at 48. It freaked me out, and I have faithfully stayed on bi-polar meds because I never want to do that again. Now, I am wondering because I heard on the news a few years ago that this man drove his car to get something to eat in his sleep with ambien. I quit ambien immediately, and found I didn't eat in my sleep. Now, I am wondering if I am bi-polar? Several of my friends have never understood how I could be normal and then completely go crazy. They had never seen me angry or disturbed before that incidence. I am now wondering if it was an ambien side affect.
