Findings symptoms and conditions

You are all completely 100 % right
I have a book here called the high blood pressure hoax
the lady that wrote it is 100 % right in her findings we are all living it !!!!
the list of side effects is overwhelming too many too list
I quit all hypertensive meds yes my blood pressure shot up rebound etc

but I can actually sleep and don't feel depressed and tired anymore

it may not be a good thing but id rather live with no side effects my skin is actually clearing up in 2 days from the itching, the nausea is still coming and going brain fog is clearing up as well as a ton of other horrible side effects for the first time i actually feel good .....in 2 years of taking these horrible drugs ,,,,,yes they are keeping us alive but in the long run they will kill us just as fast as the hypertension !!!!!!!!!! good luck with diet and exercise everyone I am starting it myself this weekend

Folks seriously this drug is bad news. Yes it worked great for my son's asthma. We thought it was a wonder drug. Then things changed. My son had horrible side effects to this also. It took us 5 months to link it to the meds. I realized after reading this website and all the blogs from other parents. My son is 4 years old and had the following symptoms: Weight loss, poor appetite, muscle and joint pain, headaches, unexplained fevers, complained of seeing colors, blue under the eyes, severe stomach cramps and horrible horrible thoughts no 4 year old should ever experience in their mind. I did not even know who my child was that is how scary it was. This is such a dangerous drug. I have talked to several other parents who this has happened too including having seizures out of the blue with no history. I work in the medical field and it seems only a few docs are recognizing this. I have seen this in other kids. This drug may be great for others and yes there are side effects to every medication. However I do not think all these children are having the same side effects. Do you?? SERIOUSLY TAKE YOUR KIDS OFF THIS TERRIBLE DRUG, REPORT IT TO THE FDA!!!

I have just gotten out of the hospital on a 5 day stay due to my 2 month use of Yasmin. I have been diagnosed with multiple pulmonary embolisms. I am 35 and taking blood thinners for six months to a year. I was very ill and am lucky to have survived this episode. My doctor failed to inform me of the recent studies done on Yasmin and their findings. It seems that Yasmin has a bad track record for causing this type of illness. I am doing okay now, but what a frightening experince!

I was taking lipitor as well as loped and now I find that I am unable to stand for more than 15 min. at a time and I can only walk about 2 blocks before the pain brings me to tears and I have a very high pain tolerancey. I am the kind of person who never sits still and now I find my self having to ask the same people that I use to help for their help just to do daily house work. I am begging for someone to find out what the hell is wrong with me, because all the doctors have do every test that there is and the findings are normal now I have never been a hypercondrack, and now I find my self wondering about my own sanity.

Oh My! I've been taking this durn drug for quite sometime. Have had what sounds like "smokers cough", PCP told me I had asthma & COPD, got put on steroids & gained excessive weight, not been able to rest well even though I've slept 8-10hrs., feel so tired by 1pm each day, stomach goes crazy, feel like there's something extra in my abdomen. Have been off this drug for several weeks now and here's my findings:
Not coughing, no tickle at back of throat like there's a hair there, sleeping better, not feeling so tired in the early afternoon & don't feel as if someone keeps hitting me in the stomach. After reading what others have written here, draw the conclusion I'm not crazy after all. Thanks All!

30 days ago I woke up and had a hard time getting out of bed. My lower body muscles and nerves almost quit working. Within three days, they did quit working. My doctor sugested that the Provachol I was taking had had a adverse effect on my nervous system. I had been taking it for about 2 months. I quit taking the statin and am now (28 days later) starting to being able to walk. I am still using a walker but each day it gets a little better. I have been thru many different tests and the findings are that it is a reaction to the Provachol.

My 5 year old was on Singulair for 30 days for coughing asthma. Our normally happy-go-lucky daughter suddenly changed into a crying, clingy child who was tired all the time. Her mood swings were severe and she was complaining of nightmares. She is normally very easy-going and loves kindergarten. Now she was crying at the bus stop. She was not eating and even fell asleep at the breakfast table. We, along with her teacher, were so shocked and confused!!! I only thought to look at the side effects of Singulair because I was calling for a refill and it got me thinking. The information on the prescription form did not mention tiredness, mood swings or nightmares as possible side effects. Only on-line did I find all this information....and I was SHOCKED. It sounds like 90% of the posts include nightmares.......I don't understand why the drug company would not warn parents of this. How are small children supposed to realize what is happening to them.....I think parents need to be told to WATCH for symptoms. We stopped using the Singulair immediately, and I discussed the information I found on-line with our pediatrician. She was anxious to read it, and says she has NEVER heard of any side effects from any of her patients. I also let the pharmacy know of my findings. How is it possible that there are such severe side effects out there, and no one knows? I have been telling EVERYONE I know.....just so people are aware. The pediatrician would like us to try Advair next......but I am extremely weary now.

I am a energetic 46 y/o female. Doctor placed me on a very low dose of Zocor after my yearly physical. After only eight days I had EXTREME left side pain. Literally spent four days bedridden. Thought I might have pulled a muscle...but then kept getting worse. I was constantly bent over in pain. Thank goodness for this website!!! Zocor was the only medication I was taking and just by luck I searched for any side effects. I was amazed to say the least. Stopped taking 5 days ago and now I'm back to my old self. PAIN GONE!!!! My 83 y/o mother in law was also on Zocor and was complaining of "back pain". Her doctor scheduled her for an MRI after running many tests to no avail. I asked her to stop the Zocor after my findings on this website. I am very happen to report she is pain-free as well after only 4 days!!!! Thank you all so very much!
