I just took my third pill of Geodon. I took Abilify for a week, and I had a couple of really bad manic episodes that would not let up. I felt like shit and yet they were mixed episodes. I just changed to Geodon, and have tried a lot of other drugs (but I wasn't too committed when I was younger). OKay, I feel like I do when I used to use crystal meth. My pupils are huge, i see things out of the corners of my eyes and believe them to be something different than what they actually are. I feel like I'm kind of in my own different world, a different spectrum. I hear kind of echoes and muffled sounds. I'm manic but in an indifferent way as what do you know? Another mixed episode most of today. If I start something, I work hard at it, but feel som indifferent and mixed about everything that in that aspect, I feel like I'm on cocaine. Cocaine always made me feel inbetween good and bad. Id feel one for a minute and then the next. It would make my feelings and stuff teeter totter. Cocaine was not my favorite for these reasons. At the gym tonight, i was superwoman. I did the eliptical machine at 10mph!! Crazy. I feel beat, but awake and meth-like dead. It sucks. Mania was great for my exercising and for ya know, a couple of things, but in general, Im so sick of it. Go away, mania. Go away side effects. I don't know what else to expect anymore and am afraid to stay on it, but dont want to get off if this shitty feeling is only temporary. thanks

I've been taking topral for about 4 or 5 months.
It was prescribed to me in order to slow down my heartbeat.
SInce I've been taking Topral, I seem to itch a lot.
A couple of times, I purposely skipped taking it and seemed the itching stopped.
I called my doctor and they said the itching is not from the drug.
I check my blood pressure everyday and sometimes it drops to 100/55 and 115/60 and the dr. office told me not to be alarmed.

I have been taking it for two months and my doctor is now taking me off it and putting me back onto ortho tricyclen (which I'd been on before for four years). I get heat flashes like clockwork, debilitating muscle cramps in my legs and feet, loss of sex drive, skin breakouts, diarrhea, headaches, problems sleeping, lower back pain and horrible stomache cramps...Basically, I constantly feel like I do when I have my period (and my doctor put me on the pill years ago solely b/c of horrible period cramps to the point of vomiting and going numb -- now, with Yasmin, the "medicine" is as bad as the initial symptoms).

40 yr old male taking Lipitor 10MG for 4 yrs. Not able to express the anger and at the same time relief that I am not crazy and that others feel like I do. Its crazy how many people have written that their head feels heavy. I remember how I felt when I mentioned that to my Dr. He ignored me so I tried cutting down to 5 mg on my own for last 1.5 yrs. I have experienced significant muscle deterioration, mood swings, fast heartbeat, and many of the same things as other contributors. I took my last dose this morning and thats it. Plenty of useful natural alternatives for me to try from here. Who was calling the shots at the FDA when these statins were approved and protected from litigation? Its criminal.
