I'm 30 and in good shape...Last thursday I went to the Dr for an ear infection and pnumonia, he gave me samples for 750 mg for 5 days and 500mg for 2 days after the first pill I couldn't sleep tossing all night ususally I hit the pillow and I'm out, I woke up exausted dizzy and with a head ache and the shakes, at work my arms, well to be more specific, my elbows and neck were getting tight and very sore, I attributed it to all the tossing the night before but now on day 6 I'm still tired having weird dreams , no sleep, my knees and elbows and neck really hurt not to mention extream irritability and depression my mood is just awful again thought it was just from being sick. But questioned it so looked on line and found this, I'm shocked, I am allergic to pennicillin which is why the Dr said he gave mw this instead I have one pill left and I just thew it in the trash and I'm calling my Dr first thing in the morning to report these problums.
This is a real wake up call, wish I would have looked up this med before I started taking it, but for sure I will from now on, Guess it is up to our selves to protect our selves can't count on anyone else to do it for us..

I have taken statins for over 10 years. I suffered muscle aches and cramps but put it down to my age (56) However recently I noticed weakness in my chest when weight training.
It was then I realised that my left Pectoral Muscle had all but disappeared, leaving just flabby skin. The right side is still firm.
A visit to the doctor and subsequent blood tests showed abnormal levels of harmful Enzymes. I was taken off statins immediately but would like to know if the muscle damage is permanent or will it recover over time.

I am a 60 year old male with lung cancer but in other wise good shape. I was given Propoxy 100s for extream pain in my left sholder and muscles in lower right back. I took the pills every 4 hours as directed from 8am on the first day and by evening had some mild light headed feeling and very slight bluring of vision. On the second day I started at 8am with no problem and took another pill at 12 noon and apx. one half hour later went to mow the lawn. While mowing on a cool day I started to sweat profusely, very dry mouth and became mildly nausious with some light headedness. This cleared up slowly in about 5 hours. There was no sign of blood pressure or heart problem.

My husband has been taking Remeron for about a week. The first effect was, totally knocked out and slept for almost 24 hours. That soon wore off and now he is abusing the drug he takes not the 2 at bed time but 4 throughout the night. He has used up 22 pills in one week. He is not sleeping at all and is extreamly diffacult to live with. He is edgy & rude to me and our 16 year old daughter. He feels like he can do and say anything, not just to us but to anyone. He also had nightmares and talked all night in his sleep when he was taking 30mg a night. I hate this drug and what it is doing to our family. My husband has a brain injury(1988) but he has few motor skill problems just depression and cognitive trouble. Has anyone had suicidal thoughts? He has had them in the past and I'm hopeing we won't have to go through that again. He cut his wrist in 2001, and spent 2 weeks in the mental hospital. I know this is an extream case but I need help.

I have been taking Yasmin for about 2 1/2 months and since i have begun this pill i have sufferd from extream naussea and now i have been diagnoised with anxity and depression. i am not sure that yasmin is the cause for this but i am usually a very happy person, but lately i am bitter and i have a short temper and i feel like some one is always against me. other than that i am phisically healthy but mentaly i feel unsure about my self and i feel very insicure about every thing i do.
my doctor has put me on zoloft and xanex. i am still not feeling like my self and i do not sleep i have no drive to do any thing i do not even want to go out any more let alone get out of bed. i also have been getting really bad head aces when i am on the last row of the yasmin. i never relized that this pill could be causing these problems till i found this site.
i am wondering if am the only one suffering from these sympthoms ? :(

Like some of you I did experience extream irritability and very hateful thoughts. This happened within a week of starting prozac. It was not until later that I found out that people with Bipolar disorder should never be put on prozac it can make them very volitile and often often results in them thinking about and taking action on violent behavior. If you have this side effect weather you are diagnosed Bipolar or not stop the medication at once and contact your physician. I have always found that using a psychiatrist who specializes in medication to balance out the chemicals in the brain to be more succesful.

First was diahrea
weakness
strange feeling
the worst was the extream high then the extream low,
I would laugh then I would cry then paranoia this seem to last for hours altho I am sure it didn't. I would say stupid things. I would ask people if they wanted to dance. I had a cigarette and I asked if I smoked.
I was very aware of what I was saying and doing but had no control over it.
I told my husband to call the drug store and tell them I had a reaction the the cough medicine, they gave him a number to call and and ambulance was sent to my home, I was taken to the hospital and injected with adavan and and came down immediatley. I slept from 5pm to 5 30 am and fine the next day

Just to concur with other side affects. 47 YO Male. After 4 doses I started to experience pain in my left foot that eventually radiated up into my leg. I have had similar pains before but not to this extream. After 5 doses I am walking with a cane. Not planning to take the 6th. I will see the Dr. today.

Hi I am from Nepal, and I am 28 years young, male. I have been taking Lisinopril for about 2 years now. At the beginning this drug seemed to have no side effects at all but as the days progressed I could see the side effects. As side effects started to climb up hill day after day, my friend suggested me to consult my physician immediately. So I consulted my physician yesterday and he told me to do an array of tests; blood test including thyroid hormone test, ECG, and chest X-Ray. My reports will come in due 1 weak time. For now my doctor has changed this medication and given me amlodipine and atenolol combination and its trade name is "amlobet" (manufactured in india by: sun pharmaceutical industries). I took 1 dose yesterday and some of my symptoms seemed to disappear, but I'm quite not sure whether its my Psychology that has contributed to the sudden disappearance of some symptoms or the drug itself. I still have to take this medication for some time to make sure of it.
Some side effects experience during Lisinopril intake:
1. Extreme fatigue and lack of interest in doing day to day work this symptom has disappeared as i started on the new medication.
2. Depression like feeling specially early in the morning and at night times.
3. Waking up in the middle of the night.
4. Vivid dreams.
5. Foggy thinking.
6. Nervousness.
7. Palpitation.
8. Anxiety.
9. Profuse sweating.
10. Shaking of hands and legs during nervousness.
11. Slight Memory loss.
12. Lack of concentration.
13. Mood swing (extreme).
14. Dullness (extreme).
As I progress on this new medication I will update this blog. And I'l also give information regarding my blood tests and ECG tests after my report comes. For now this much. But I recommend Lsinopril users to consult their respective physician seriously before taking this medication and consult even if you are on the medication. This drug seems to pass the blood brain barrier and reach the brain so it affects the central nervous system directly which is not the case in some HBP medications like; amlodipine, atenolol etc.
