Durg symptoms and conditions

My 17 year old son was diagnosed with MRSA after getting an injury on his knee from playing basketball.After the first does he had a loss of appetite, fatigue, nauseous and severe headache. By the third day he got a fever, chills, neck stiffness and a feeling of doom. We went to the ER because his blood had not been cultured and we were afraid of sepsis in the blood. The ER doctor said it was most likely viral and sent him home. The next night he had a fever of 103, sore throat, trouble swallowing, sun burnt look, swollen eyes and cracked swollen lips.The next day we went to the urgent care and they tested him for mono, strep and the flu...(all negative). He felt awful and was so tired and feverish. The next morning he woke up with a severe rash and itching all over his body and his skin looked like it was scalded. His blood culture came back negative for bacteria and his wound has healed. I have taken him off of this drug Bactrim. This is his first day. His rash is better and his fever was down for a little while. It is 101 tonight and he just feel so tired and achy. I know it will take time for this to get out of his system. Meanwhile he is missing school and is getting depressed because he feels like he will never get better. If someone told me that fever and chills were a side effect from this drug I would not have been so worried that he could die of a blood infection. Ask lots of questions or google this site before taking a new drug.

I am a 30 year old nurse and know first hand how birth control pills are individual. I was on many before Yasmin. 6 months ago I started Yasmin because it was the new hype in birth control medicine since it reduces length of period, flow of period, and reduces acne.
I don't think the ingredient drospirenone that's included in Yasmin (a potassium sparing drug, and diuretic, another form of the same type is Spironolactone) works for me.
Ever since I had experienced these symptoms:
Anxiety-heart palpitations, suspiciousness, racing thoughts.
Headaches-tension, leading to muscle spasms in neck and shoulders.
Dizziness-Vertigo type spinning sensations
Ear fullness-popping and cracking without losing hearing.
Fatigue-no motivation, especially for an early riser and a person who works 12 hr shifts.
Chest tightness, lump in throat feeling, could be due to increase in stomach acid (HCl).
If anyone else has vertigo, or dizziness, I would love to know!
Thanks,
Good luck with trying a different form of birth control.

I was prescribed Lisinopril on 2/2008 to protect my liver, after taking I started with a tickle in my throat that would turn into one of those coughs that would make you cry which would occur at least 3 or 4 times a day. Then I would have pain in my neck, arms around my ankles and knee joints. Now I have developed a cough that is uncontrollable and happen all during the day and night I could not get any sleep, have bag under my eyes. I went to see my doctor and he told me to take robitussin DM, which did not help. The cough was so bad, until it made my chest and stomach hurt. It made me feel as if I had to throw up. I went to see my doctor today to tell her that I was not going to take the LISINOPRIL anymore, but when I told her about my cough, she said it was from the LISINOPRIL and not to take it any more.

I forgot to ask her was any of my other vital organ affect by this drug.

I am using Zocor 20 mg once day for the past 2 years. I am exercising regularly and seem to have no problem there. I often have leg muscle twitching in the evenings/nights that I am pretty sure is due to the medication.
Furthermore, recently I have a pain in my right ankle/calf when walking, that feels like a stretched or torn muscle or tendon, but there is no external redness or heat or swelling. I suspect it is due to Zocor as well.
Finally, I have nightly shoulder tenderness that might be due to the durg.
All symptoms started within the past 2 years.

I have crazy muscle pain or sharp stress like pains in my arms and hip joint - I take 12.5mg toprol xl - i have notice some weight gain - I know our Doctors are not the same, but prescriptions are the same - I feel like the doctors are brain washed by the durg companies, getting some sort of kick back. I listen to my heart Dr. yet he doesn't listen to me Toprol xl does cause changes to peoples health.
After reading about 20 listing and viewing over 18 web sites just about toprol xl - we are not crazy thinking this MED has bad side effects.
I'm in great shape, I work in construction & work long days and move heavy items daily. My heart problems are less than most, yet this silly pill has caused more dis-comfort than I was in before, I started taking It. I will slowly take myself off toprol xl.
I'm going to try to find a natural way to find small dose beta blocker, does anyone else know of any natural beta blockers?
Stay well and enjoy life to fullest

On the stuff for 7 weeks. Started at 60 mg for 4 wks now at 30mg for a few days then tapering to 5 in a few weeks. Moon face, insomnia, lots of food, seem to be in some kind of "zone" most of the time. It is a good and ba d durg but it is keeping me out of the hospital. Quit smoking in April (after 30 yrs). Started with chills and fever (up to 104) then pericarditis, the pyoderma ganrenosum. After tons of tests (blood, bone scan, bone marrow,cat scans, mri's,cultures, etc.) doctors can not come up with diagnosis. Scared to get off the drug but will.

i am having headace's extreme constipation, it isnt taking my pains away like it is suppose to i take 10mg a day is it suppose to do this i hurt all the time now what should i do i have multi instibility in my shoulders and neck is this the right durg for me please let me know

I called the FDA
Their sending me a form to fill out to list side effects of this terrible drug LEVAQUIN. And also any other information I have. I'm going to send the address to this discussion group. Hopefully they will check into it.
I realize some people have had no problem, but for those of you that suffered such terrible side effects and wants to help get this durg off the market please do so.
Call the FDA and complain...please. before anyone else suffers.

Xanax is total poison! I became physically sick, dizzy, depressed - totally depressed - and when I went to quit this horrible drug I was sick as a dog and ended up in a hospital! Go read the comments at benzo.org.uk! This durg should be banned.

I just wrote to this bulletin board about a reaction that I thought might have been caused by this drug but after looking up the other drug that was taken at the same time I find that it could have been the other durg BEXTRA. I do not want to take either durg now that i've seen the other drug's side effects which are similar to what I experienced and I took it only once.
