Face pain symptoms and conditions

I have been taking Neurontin for almost two years and am on 2800mg per day for severe headaches and face pain. I started it when I was pregnant and thankfully my baby is perfect despite feeling extremely stressed about what may happen to her. I can't wait for a diagnosis so maybe I can get off these damn tablets as I haven't felt 'myself' for so long.

I am on a 6 day treatment of PredniSONE 4mg for a foot injury that caused massive swelling. The swelling was gone after the first day of the treatment, but the side effects started the second day for me. I freaked out yesterday thinking that I was having a heart attack. I even asked the doctor if there were any weird side effects and told him that I have anxiety about taking medicine. He said it's harmless, and not to worry. I felt safe taking it the first day but now I've been experiencing increased heart rate, flushed face, pain in my muscles, left arm, and chest, tingling and itching, I can't sleep, when I do sleep in the morning I wake up tense and frustrated, I've lost my appetite, it's hard to go to the bathroom and I can't seem to get my thoughts together. I had an anxiety disorder before and had I known the side effects of this medicine I would not have taken it. Today I decided to skip a day by only taking three pills today and two tomorrow. I just want OFF THIS STUFF!!! and I never want to take it again. I can't believe its on the market and doctors are soo shady about it! And all this from the lowest dose... 4mg.

1) Stop going to the doctor for "sinus infections". This is one of the most over diagnosed, over treated, self-limiting illnesses in the world. Because 90% is viral, it's also the leading cause of antibiotic resistant bacteria in out-patient medicine. Get some Afrin and blow your nose.
2) Avoid taking fluoroquinolones (Cipro, Levaquin, Avelox) as an outpatient. These powerful drugs should be used to save lives in the hospital. The leading exception would be a urinary tract infection that is resistant to all other antibiotics.
3) All fluoroquinolones can cause tendon ruptures, especially the achille's tendon in patients over 65. This is a devastating injury, though rare with this class of antibiotics.

Horrible side effects. Had sinus infection so was also taking Avelox, took 2 tramadol for pain for 3 bulging discs and face pain associated with sinus infection. Pills were spaced out over 7 hours. Then BAM I wake up about 3:30 a.m. itching all over and then progress to vertigo and nausea. The Avelox brought its own set of symptom, which I didn't realize for a few days after the Tramadol was out of my system. The whole experience sent me to the urgent care, then by ambulance to hospital. I HATE TAKING MEDS.

I was initially prescribed 20 mg of Lipitor as my cholesterol was well over 300 (365). However, the same week I started the 20 mg, I was hit my a car as a pedestrian and had so many aches and pains from that, that I felt the 20 mg of Lipitor was aggravating my recovery from the car incident so requested of my Doctor to "start" at 10 mg instead. I am also "medication sensitive". I have only been on the med for 4 1/2 months and initially things were "OK"...I did notice some aching muscles and joints, but this actually seemed to subside. However, in the past 4-6 weeks, many symptoms seemed to get worse...I feared I had Lyme Disease again, but the symptoms felt "different" though similar...aching muscles and joints...especially both my hands and wrists, hips and knees, very bad headaches, constant nasal problems including horrendous post-nasal drip and "face pain" like sinusitus, a feeling like I was getting bronchitis all the time and needing to use my asthma inhaler, even though my asthma is very, very mild, and profound fatigue. I also noticed "some" mental confusion and forgetfulness. I decided to go off the medication just two days ago and already feel better. I plan to get my cholesterol checked within the next week, but doubt seriously that I will go back on this drug...UNLESS it would be something like 5 mg every other day. I also lost weight (on purpose), have tried to get more exercise, and eat better as part of the overall plan to better manage my cholesterol...so, unless this continued health plan does not keep my cholesterol down, I will not take more than that of this drug (5 mg QOD).

3 weeks before my wedding I started Levaquin for the second year in a row for a sinus infection. Last year the sinus infection was so bad I was in bed with face pain, so any other pain I had didn't register, so if I had the joint pain I wouldn't have noticed. But this year I got such bad knee pain I couldn't even stand up. Who knew it could be associated with the antibiotic I was taking. I was barely able to walk down the aisle. That was one month ago, I still have knee pain, can not stand up from a kneel. I was not told about this side effect until I saw the Dr. last week for a follow up. The pain is in my elbows also, limited movement there.
Depressing.

I took Levaquin 750 mg for 2 days. The first night it made me sleepy and drowsy. The second night I took it, I was high. I felt like I was a zombie. I sat in front of my computer rocking back and forward. And al I wanted to do while I sat there was take more and more and more levaquin. I wanted sit there and eat them like they were candy. That urge was so overwhelming. So, I hurried up and I flushed them down the toilet except for 3. Knowing that they were there, I wanted to eat those 3, so I flushed them.
That was the worst night of my life. I said to myself if this is how high suppose to feel. I don't ever be high.
This drug need to be taken off the market.

I have been using neurontin after a fall (5yrs ago) which left me with extreme back, neck and head pain. I really couldn't stand the way it made me feel because they also had me on Motrin, as well a host of other pain relievers, did some epidural & lumbar injections, etc. So I took it less frequently than was origibally prescribed. I have been noticing that my teeth often hurt and they definitely have been moving. Causes severe headaches and face pain. My bite is now off. Recently, I've been getting awful headaches compounded by a strong car sick/dizziness that lasts for days. My teeth, although no visible damage such as cavities, discolorization, are extremely sensitive and have moved so much that I often bite the sides of my mouth, etc. I've heard recently that neurontin sometimes cause mouth/teeth pain and such. Is it possible that this was all caused by the neurontin, and how do I correct it. Is it too late or will not taking it at all reverse the damage?

I've only been taking Singulair for about a week, but the headache started shortly after I began taking it. It's a nasty sharp throbbing across my right temple. My ears have been pretty much constantly plugged and I can feel pressure in my sinus cavity. I went on double doses of zytec and zantac in order to get rid of sinus pressure (headaches, ear aches, and face pain) in the first place...and now it's back. I can breath better, but my asthema wasn't that bad to begin with. For me, the side effects aren't worth it.

very red face.

pain when swallowing.

fatigue.

nails crumbling.

delayed (week or so) reaction with these except for red face which was right away but lasted only couple of days.
