I'm a 55 yo male, that has been taking Vytorin for 6 yrs. A year ago I was diagnosed with Fybromyalgia, at a very large research hospital in St. Louis.
I entered a drug study, but after 4mos had to leave due to a neccessary surgery. I was able to find out, what the medicine was, and contimued taking it. It was Cymbalta. It provided about a 75% reduction in my symtoms, which were: Major muscle pain, throughout my body, fatique, constipation-diarrehea, memory loss(Fybro Fog), erectile dysfunction, body temp, always hot, with sweating, and just feeling tired and crappy 24/7. I accidently came across this site, about 2 wekks ago, and began reading these and other testamonials, and started thinking, maybe it's not Fibrom, but the Vytorin. So I quit taking it. My symtoms have dramatically decreased, almost by 90%. I hadn't told my Doc, so I'll be doing that this week.And run some blood tests to see what my numbers are doing. But I am convinced, Vytorin has something to do with my condition.

I am taking Yaz on my first pack I havent been able to tolerate ANY bcp's they all gave me stomach cramping diarrehea and mood swings. I havent taken a bcp in over 2 years for this reason. I have PMDD and it s pretty severe. I am taking this in hope that it will tame my mood swings. I'm coming to the ending of my second week of this pill on Sunday and after reading all these forums I am terrified to take another pill. I have these symptoms...
_ Crying over eveything
_ Bloated weight gain
_ Tired No energy
_ Yeast infection
Please if you are taking Yaz and stopped what can I expect?Should I wait till I get my period and then stop?

By the third day with these pills I had horrible stomach pains, vomiting, diarrehea, dizziness, and a headache. The meds were only given to me to treat a persistant cough but now I've been really sick for two days

My 23 month old son has taken a 5 day dose of Omnicef for a sinus infection and he has had terrible diarrehea and a terrible red pimple like rash on his bottom and upper back. This is the 3rd time that he has been on this medication and it will be the last time. It has been the same result each time he has taken it. The first time was for pneumonia, the second time for ear infections, and this time for sinus infection. He is worse now than before he took this medication and he still has the sinus infection. I advise parents against this medication.

I was put on Levaquin for a severe infection in my leg. I was given 500 mg. once a day. Immediately after taking my first pill I became nauseous. On the second day I again became nauseous and dizzy. That night I was very restless and could not sleep. I thought I would adjust to the meds so I continued to take it. each day I continued to feel the same after taking my Medication. I started getting cramping after eating on day 5 and suffered Diarrehea with hard cramping. the symptoms continued each day. I revisited my Health Center and was put on 250 Mg. after explaining how I felt. I thought I would adjust as it was clearing the infection in my leg so well. On my second dose of the lesser dosage I experienced some additonal problems. Asfter eating dinner I started having SEVERE stomach pain. I suffered Diarrehea for several hours with the severe apin im my stomach along with nauseousness and had not slept normally since starting this Medication. Later that night I started having Bloody Stool and continued this for the rest of the night and into the next day. Needless to say I stopped the Medication immediately and was put on a bland diet and plenty of liquids. I have been off the Meds for 4 days now and am finally getting back to normal. I started sleeping normally again and the nauseousness and bloody stool have subsided. I was so scared to think a prescription could do this to you. I will never take this drug again and advise anyone that takes it and experiences any of the side effects to get off it immediatley. My experience with this drug has been a nightmare.

i was prescribed Levaquin in April for pneumonia. I took 1 pill in the morning and by mid-evening felt gross. My stomach was in knots, head was fuzzy. I decided to NOT take any more and let my body fight it. Last week I had awful pain in my ear/jaw and thought it was my tooth so didn't go to the DR. right away. Finally I couldn't handle the pain and went. He said I had an ear infection and immediately wrote a script for Levaquin despite me telling him how it made me feel in April. He said it was no big deal, the feelings would go away. I came home and against my better judgment took what I had left from April. (6 pills) I am done them now, but was looking up Levaquin on line because I feel like crap, my ear and jaw still hurt like hell, and tonight my leg started to hurt. I have a flaming esophagus as I sit and type this at 2 in the morning because I cant friggen sleep. Pain my chest feels like I inhaled glass. My husband said he noticed I haven't been acting right...news to me. I'm cranky because all this crap did was make me feel worse. DR. told me to take 2 aleve in the a.m. and Tylenol/Motrin every 4 hours after that for pain. I just got done reading that NSAIDs shouldn't be taken with Levaquin. Nice to know after the fact. My stomach has been turning for 5 days and food is absolutely disgusting. I have awful diarrhea from this med too, which the doctor said was normal.. good to know that spending hours on the toilet was"normal". I've been teary too. Crying over nothing, literally sitting at the pc playing a game of cards and I busted into hysterical sobbing OVER CARDS!! Hopefully I will feel better in a few days and nothing else happens. DO NOT TAKE LEVAQUIN!!! Save yourself the trouble.
