Drink more water symptoms and conditions

I was prescribed Lisinopril 2 weeks ago (BP was 96 on the bottom). I am 32 years old. I have been sick since the second day with headaches, I am dizzy, I have been having the cold sweats (from my neck up, sounds odd, I know), insomnia, fatigue, horrible leg cramps, my neck hurts terribly on the left (it radiates a quarter way down my shoulder), itching (neck and upper back). I now have developed a fever, if it does not get better by the morning I am going to the ER (ironic because I have a Dr's appointment at 2pm 9/12/2007). I am having a hard time. I am not overweight (size 5 and 5ft9 inches tall), I eat plenty of fruits and veggies and drink more water than the law will allow, hardly any fried foods, red meat or pork are no no's. Something is wrong with this medication and if I find out it has caused me any issues, I will call a lawyer. I fell so sick and tired.

I choose this medication first. I'm a flt attendant and need quick results. I do drink more water, have lots of energy, and loss of appetite. Most importantly I can breath and don't worry about my ears hurting upon decent.

Hi there...I came accross your posting and to answer your question....The toxic chemicals in Lupron stay in your body for up to 3 months after your last shot and you feel your most amount of side effects in those three months even though you are not getting shots. For example if you had 6 months of treatment then you will feel side effects for 9 months. Everyone thinks that because they don't get shots any more everything will go away...but the chemical is so strong it stays in your body for a few months after. Caffeine is your worst enemy when you are on Lupron. Lupron already depletes your body of so many essential vitamins.....Vitamin B deficiency is one of them......Lupron attacks your nervous system therefore making some people stress and have so many side effects.....a good Vitamin B complex will help and One cup of Coffee depletes your body of 8 glasses of water....well we need water (a mineral) in order for vitamins to absorb into our body....so our vitamins will not work if we have caffeine...plain and simple....do you have caffeine daily...if so minimize it just for a month or two and drink more water with a vitamin B complex.....also a calcium tablet would be good right about now to replace the bone loss associated with Lupron......because you were on anti depressents you did not feel most of the side effects these women go through....but that does not mean your body did not go through the changes ....you need to replenish your body with good things now that the toxic chemical of Lupron has been in your body...hope this helps.

I've been taking 10mg of Lisinopril since 1/06 just before going to bed. I, too have experienced dizziness and fainting. Many nights when I've awakened to urinate, I've felt like I've been drunk (and I have not had any alcohol). However, last Friday night I woke around 1am extremely dizzy. I fainted after urinating. I've since readjusted my schedule of Lisinopril and am now taking it early in the morning. I'm also taking it with a full glass of water, have STOPPED taking potassium supplements and I am trying to drink more water during the day. I've not had an incident since I've readjusted, but remain concerned about the drug.

Thank you I have been trying to drink more water....I might look into this being a urinarie tract infection I am 26 years old and never had one before..I have been told they are common. Thank you for your help

Hi All,

I am 2 weeks off yasmin now. Was on yasmin for a month.
My vision is blurred so i need to get my eyes checked.
Morning nausea has lessened as have my burping episodes.
But especially in the mornings my cheeks and sinuses hurt and my mouth feels very dry. All around my mouth skin gets really dry and rough. Sometimes i feel as if some cough is stuck in my throat although after stopping the pill my throat at least doesnt hurt and pain anymore. Any suggestions as to how i should get out of the dehydration? I drink more water nowadays to make up for whatever i must have lost when on yasmin. I used to take vitamin B pills to reduce my fatigue which is a lot better now. I dont feel like dropping off to sleep in the day.

My doctor prescribed this medication for a sinus infection. Usually have been prescribed a Z-pack for this by my regular doctor. I took this medication right after returning home about middle afternoon. I was awake untill 5 am went to work and took again in the AM, with my regular morning breakfast of coffee and toast, didn't eat much during the rest of the day, not hungry felt like I was on diet pills (heart palpations, etc. ).
My headache which usually accompanys sinus infections got worse so I went to bed early because it was really a very bad headache and at 5AM I woke up in a cold sweat and started throwing up. After feeling the same at 8AM Since it was Saturday I opt to go to Urgent Care. Was seen by doctor by 9:30AM. By this time I was still throwing up, horrible headach, and cold sweats. My blood preasure was at all time hight 160 over 100. Needless to say this doctor gave me the Z-Pack and he asked to see me again on Monday morning at which time my blood preasure was back to normal 116 over 80.
I will never knowingly take this medication AGAIN! Please note: 1. I have never had high blood pressure, actually it is usually low. 2. When taking medications I will always drink more water than I normally do to help just to flush out my body, especially when I am taking sinus medications as they usually "dry me out".

I get achey joints when I take Maxide but I don't retain fluid. When I stop taking Maxide, the aches also stop but I do retain fluids and get puffy again - until I drink more water and less beverages, eat healthier and less food, watch what I eat (especially salt), and keep my weight down. When I stop, I also get headaches for a few days but my skin is less dry. When I have taken Maxide with antibiotics, my hair ends split and break due to extreme dryness. Herbal diuretics don't get rid of the fluid as fast, but I prefer the safer, less harsh and more natural method. A doctor-friend of mine told me that Maxide was too harsh for me because I only needed help with water retention and not high blood pressure, which is normal.

URGENT URGENT death-connected symptom (swelling and pain in legs):

The death of NBC journalist 39 year old and otherwise-healthy David Bloom in the Iraqui war last weekend made something "click" in my mind: The cause of his death was a pulmonary embolism, a blood clot in the lungs brought on by sitting and sleeping in a cramped position (knees up under chin, in a Humvee) for days at a time, and (HERE'S WHAT IS IMPORTANT) he was dehydrated.

Taking Neurontin dehydrates a person, and many have posted side-effects of leg pain and swelling. Dehydration reduces the blood's ability to flow freely -- or rather -- increases clots, which then can travel to the brain (strokes) heart (heart attack) or lung (pulmonary embolism).

It is the same thing that has killed people who sit in airplane seats for long overseas flights, while not drinking
enough water.

Our society discourages us from drinking as much water as we need, and urinating frequently enough -- from lack of public restrooms to not letting school children go to the bathroom frequently enough (left to itself the human body will void the bladder every 20 minutes).

To all my fellow Neurontin userids: drink more water, your life could depend on it! JanK
