Family vacation symptoms and conditions

Ambien CR is the only prescription that will allow me to sleep in a hotel, but it is a double edged sword. After about 2 days of using I get migraine headaches. Last week we took our family vacation and I took it for 7 nights in a row. Our timing of our vacation was bad because the day after we got back my husband went out of town (another thing that causes me not to sleep). For the last 4 nights I have taken 1mg of Lunesta. The headaches presisit but I see a light at the end of the tunnel. Tonight I am back to what works best for me Melatonin

For me extended use of Ambien CR causes Migraines. It has time and time again. I know it will happen and in extreme cases (vacation, death in the family) I will choose getting sleep over having the migraine.

Occasional 1 time use of Ambien CR does not cause me to have a migraine the following day.

Hi. I was diagnosed yesterday with Bells Palsy, (the entire right side of my face is completely paralyzed) and given prednisone, a tapering dosage. I started my first dose of only 20 mgs last night and went to 60 mgs today, will keep on that dose tomorrow as well as one more day, taper down to 40 mg for two days, then 20 mgs for two days. My heart feels like it's going to beat out of my chest! I can feel it it's beating so hard and I can also hear it when lying down .Very freaky. My blood pressure today was 164/107. My normal bp is 110/70. I take medication for high blood pressure but it's not doing much good. I am also a diabetic and my sugar is whack! Had to increase my Metformin. I'm assuming since no one has died from taking this HORRIFIC medicine, we'll all live through it but at times, I feel like I am going to have a frigging massive panic attack! I have to calm myself down, listen to music, meditate. That does help some but not enough .I will be sooooooooo glad when I'm done taking this SH*T! Another thing I've noticed is I am bone weary weak, like I've run the Boston Marathon, competed in the 1000 meter butterfly medley and then played 3 sets of tennis on top of that! GOOD GRIEF, HE INVENTED THIS CRAPOLA?

Oh my heavens, I had no idea this site was even here. THANK YOU!! I was given Levaquin back in April 2006 for a urinaty tract infection. At the end of a family vacation in Florida I was feeling ill. I have been in the hospital 48 days, 3 hospital stays, including being transferred to Jefferson in Philadelphia, where they saved my life. I developed C Diff, a severe intestinal bacterial infection that I am still fighting over 4 months later. This is the second time I have had this infection. I was hospitalized with it in 2001 also, and just realized that I had been on Levaquin for a UTI then too. I know of at least two other people who have become ill from this of late also.
Yes, we need to get this medication off the market. I almost died twice before being sent to Philadelphia while in my local hospital. I will take NOTHING without talking with my Philly Dr. now. I had to go back to Jefferson again this past week because I'm sick again with the same symptoms. I'm only 59 and spend most days in bed, or at least near a bathroom. I've had so many test that I cannot count them anymore.
Thank you for letting vent this.
