Facial area symptoms and conditions

I have been on Niaspan for about five days. After taking a dose last night, my body swelled and I experienced extremely harsh tingling under the skin that started in the neck and facial area then moved down the body. My heart rate was 100 b.p.m. and pounding. I experienced reduced hearing, vision and concentration. Quite scary.

....ok, it is 4am and I am never up at 4am....been up all night...in reading some of these other posts aparently this drug causes insomnia. I have been on Ambien for years now and have not had trouble sleeping with the Ambien, until tonight. I even got up and took a second Ambien...no help. I feel wired and jumpy. No evil thoughts though.

The ironic part is that my neurologist just put me on geodon for a headache that I have had for almost three years. One nonstop every day all day all night headache for 3 years. I have been on meds that had other wonderful side effects such as an unexpected ability to lactate, wieght gain (50lbs) and oh of course there was the time that I asked for a stronger pain med than oxycodone and he put me on the same medication they give herione addicts...that made me lose 2 full weeks of my life and almost lost great friends and family.

I am surprised by the insomnia...I started with 20mg per day, increasing it to 20mg 2x per day....and here comes the insomnia....I guess there could be worse things! I dont care for the tightnessd in my jaw and lower facial area which causes me to look like i am making a sour face -as my husband put it.

time will tell if i stay on this...should be interesting if they take me off of it as I am also going to try to quit smoking in the next few weeks. Could be a bad combination.

thanks for reading!

I have been diagnosed as "adult acne" in the facial area.
I've been taking Doxycycline for 2 weeks and experienced swollen lips at first, but subsided. Low dosage for skin problems. Also bloating, yeast infection, occasional dizziness and flatulence. Have applied a 60+ sun bloc which helps but the sun is my enemy right now. Never having had skin problems in my entire life -- at the age of 80+ - this all seems a bit much. Is this a new drug?

Classic Migraine, sensitivity to light, nausea, extreme pressure and blurred vision. Tried everything else, finally Imitrex. First 30 min. I felt a cold sensation, especially in my facial area. Felt as if my bloodstream was flowing again. Then, suddenly realized I felt like myself again. My concern, women in my family have a very strong history of high bp & strokes around age 50 (I'm 34)... have I found my miracle drug or am I putting myself at a higher risk for more serious dangers?
