Diaharrea symptoms and conditions

I had been taking this for years and about three-four yrs ago they changed generic. I had horrible stomach and abdominal problems.Not diarrhea or constipation but pain swelling bloating and feeling a lump in ab. Went to cts, ultrasounds, 3 colonoscopies,endoscopy, pill camera,I went through 3 primary care doctors. Had emergency hosp.visits. Doctors.started getting to think I was crazy That made me depressed to the point I didn"t want to see anyone or go any where. Not one Dr. suggested it could be one of my meds. By accident over the Christmas holidays I ran out of my lisinopril hctz. within 3 days I felt normal again Swelling in ab stopped and most of pain.ever gonna get near that poison again.# months later Im doing a lot better I actually feel good .Its amazing I think it caused me a rare reaction called intestinal angioedema .That is basically hives on your insides. Could be dangerous if esophogeous is involved I lucked out.I did have wheezing and shortness in breathing .People Beware Its a dangerous drug.

I was prescribed Levaquin for a sinus infection. Started taking the 500 mg. tablet on Thursday. Within 24 hours of the first dose, my sinus symptoms started feeling better, but I had wild dreams along with difficulty in sleeping, accompanied by bouts of sweating, then chilling. Friday nt. the diaharrea started and continued every 30 min. This was accompanied by severe abdominal pain and weakness. I have stopped taking this drug, only took 3 pills, but the diaharrea continues. Has anyone else had this awful side effect, and if so....how long did it last after discontinuing the medication. I, like many others have posted, will NEVER take this medication again, nor will I let it be prescribed to any family member!

I have been taking 20 mg. Lisinopril and 5 mg. Norvasc for a little over one week and I seem to develop diaharrea at any time. I don't know if this is a side affect or not.

There are many side effects to Doxycycline. I took it for a bug bite I got (I tested negative for West Nile, Lyme, and every other blood born disease from a tick...the doctor still doesn't know what bit me...thinking it was a house centipede based on my research and seeing a couple dozen of them in my garage this summer)...200mg for 2 weeks.

For me, it was the dizziness, headaches, chest pain on and off after taking it, and the itching that would move all over in spots. Doxy is not the best antibiotic for acne though...you should take either Tetracycline or go with topical stuff (Differin or something similar)...the problem with taking Tetra or Doxy is that once you're off of it, the acne comes back even worse than it was before, then by taking it again, the stuff doesn't work. Plus, taking Doxy for several months or years will reduce it's effect and you will build up an immunity to it...any cycline has the same side effects, but I never had the nausea/diaharrea/vomiting that most people.

But please, read the leaflet and talk to the pharmacist/doctor before taking this stuff. The big side effects are the nausea, vomiting, and dizziness. If you have to take it with food, please do, but the Doxy will not work as well (absorb through the body) when taking simultaneously with food. Be careful taking this stuff...and quit taking it if the reaction is that bad because there are other medicines that won't do this stuff.

I was on augmentin for 6 days for an ear infection. I did not develop diaharrea but severe pain in my upper abdominal, with nausea and some vomiting. I will never take it again.

I have been on Zocor for only three days and am already experiencing sudden intestional cramping followed by diaharrea. My husband took it for several months and experienced the same symptom- plus mucle weakness/atrophy of leg muscles, fatique. Lipitor has worked much better for him.
