Frequent trips symptoms and conditions

I am a 50 yr old male described by my doctor as healthy and "well developed". I was prescribed this drug (10 days) for a sore throat and minor respiratory problem after a more conventional antibiotic did not render any improvement.
Within 1 day my tongue and lips felt burned and swollen, I sleep lightly and feel as through every joint and most muscles in my body hurt. I feel as if I've been in a gang fight.
Also I believe it has irritated either the prostate or urinary tract resulting in frequent trips to the men's room. I personally have not experienced bowel problems.
I feel this product is marginal at best and not worth the results.

Thank you for this site...although it is too late being I already poisoned myself with my 1st dosage - I know better now to STOP TAKING THIS DRUG IMMEDIATELY.
31 y/o male - non smoker - In good overall health.

What happened...(brief history of what got me to the point of being prescribed this horrid drug)
I caught a cold a few days after drinking quite heavily at a wedding (Aprox 1 month ago). It was severe enough for me to take a trip to this new doctor that is in my network and nearby (how I wish I could use my old family doctor that is out of network).
Symptoms then were congestion in my head and upper chest, cold sweats, runny nose. The doctor told me to take some over the counter stuff and try to fight it off w/ Mucinex, and Zyrtec - and lots of liquids. If that didn't work, he asked me to return.
It took about 5 days, and I seemed to kick the cold.
Approximately 2 weeks went by where I was feeling fine, then it seemed as if I was coming down with something again. (Last Thursday was when I started feeling ill)
I think what brought it on this time was breathing in excess dust at work opening some skids of paper in our warehouse.
Anyhow, this time around I had a pretty serious cough, felt feverish, and fatigued.
Sunday morning I woke up and took two Mucinex to break up the cough (which work great by the way)...and I hacked up something awful enough to call my doctors emergency line and have him paged. I was ready to go to the ER. It wasn't just phlegm or mucas - it was a soild mass of lord knows what containing blood. It look like an organ from a small critter.
Doctor said to keep taking the Mucinex and if I didn't feel better to come see him.
The coughing got worse on Monday, and the mucus I was spitting up wasn't pretty.
I went to see him yesterday afternoon (Tuesday) and he said its time to start you on an antibiotic and diagonsed me with an Upper Respiratory Infection.
He gave me Avelox, and Advair, and I asked for some of the good cough syrup w/ the codeine. He also sent me for a chest X-ray.
I got home around 4pm, made some food, then took some syrup and tried the advair.
I waited to take the Avelox til later on in the evening so I could set up a routine as I work nights and 9pm would be good.
I took the Avelox, around then, along with another dose of the cough syrup.
Around 1 hour later I felt extremely nauseous. I would burp, and feel almost ready to vomit...it was my body rejecting this horrible drug. The nausea came and went, came and went - then I got tired.

I laid down around 11pm and then the REAL trouble started. I must have fell asleep for about 30 mins, then woke up suddenly gasping for air...It felt like my heart was about to stop. I sat up in the bed panicked. I then got a little nervous, but calmed myself down, drank another glass of water and tried to fall back asleep. Sure enough just as I was about to drift off, the same sudden feeling of my breathing or heartbeat was interrupted and I sat up again. I had tingling in my chin area and in my arms. Walking to the bathroom I felt slightly disoriented and dizzy, and my legs and whole body felt weak. I also started getting itchy in my legs and groin area. Now I'm scared to go to sleep so I come to the computer and started researching this Avelox. It's 3:30 am now as I'm writing this. I looked at this site and http://www.fluoroquinolones.org/ before decided to post my experience.
I am still very itchy, slight nauseous, and feel disoriented. I'm scared to lay down to sleep now, but hopefully that will wear off soon - but I feel very nervous, uncontrollably. I almost want to induce vomiting to maybe get out any of the drug that is left in my stomach, but hate vomiting.
I will not take another dosage of this Avelox, no matter what this doctor tells me...and will give him a piece of my mind for prescribing this instead of something like ammoxocillin or just penicillin.

Does anyone have problems with the NuvaRing not staying in their vagina????

Took 2, 6day packs 4mg for 2 ruptured discs causing crippling back pain. Could not walk much at all or stand straight. Im 37 years old male, have always avoided any meds if possible.
Results:
Back pain went away after 10 days, along with good chiropractor visits, cold pack treatments throught the day and lots of lying flat on my back wearing a brace provided by chiropractor.
Side Effects:
-Sleepy during day, difficult to sleep at night.
-Slightly blurred vision.
-Constipated at times and loose at times, small amounts blood in stool three times.
-Frequent trips to urinate with uneven flow all the time.
-Have had slight occurances of heartburn.
-One week after 12 days treatment was over the pain returned more and more and I started to peel on my face without being in the sun, without redness and I have been well hydrated.
-Maybe depressed but may also be caused from needing to cancel scuba diving trip due to condition.

Starting to take 6 day pack again for returning pain. Wish me luck...thanks

I have been prescribed Omnicef for cystic acne for 9 months. I continuously suffer from vaginal/anul itching. The medication helps alittle with the acne but the itching and burning makes my life a living hell. I will take the medication for a while and then get so fed up with the itching and frequent trips to the bathroom. I thought something was wrong with me. I would not prescribe this to a young child. i am shocked to see so many parents posting their children's symptoms. I can barely stand it, I can only imagine what a child feels like on this medication. Definetly not the greatest antibiotic out there. My dermatologist said it was mild as vaginal itching was something I said I did not want to experience. Unfortunetly I am stuck with it!

I just googled to see if my symptoms were abnormal or if it were something other than Yasmin that causes my symptoms, but now reading this I think I need to make some changes in my birth control.
I have been on Yasmin since I married in aug of 2005 and every since then I have had migraine headaches, frequent trips to the bathroom, weight gain, depression, dizziness, and even vomiting.

So I guess I need to change my BCs, any suggestions?

Been taking Levoxyl for the past 3 1/2 years and just recently have started having a really upset stomach with cramping and frequent trips to the bathroom during the day and night. Only taking .025 but also take Inderal daily at the same time that I take the levoxyl, could this be the problem. Waiting for answers and comments.

I'm 21 years old... and I've been on Pred. for about two weeks now.... started out on 60 mg for 5 days, then 40 mg for 5 days, and now I'm on the home stretch with one 20 mg for the last 5 days. I had a reaction to some poison- though they never figured out what it was (though, I'm pretty sure it was poison oak and I had terrible hives reaction over my entire body).

But just from being on this medicine for two weeks I've experienced the following side effects:
- Increased appetite. Gained 3 1/2 lbs in a week and a half.
- Lack of deep sleep.
- Frequent trips to the bathroom throughout the night (3-5 times) - probably some how related to how much I'm consuming.
- Overall feeling of muscular weakness.
- AND worst of all, sweating at night. I'll have the a/c as low as it can go, and I still sweat through a few shirts at night. Does anyone else have this problem? It's driving me crazy... it's pretty gross. :)

The doctor's office prescribed Guaifen for this inner ear ache. The pharmacist explained that this medication has a stimulant. Since I'm a heavy diet pepsi consumer, I didn't think that Guaifen would keep me awake. After two hours of sleep I awoke and can't go back to sleep. As prescribed, drinking a lot of water goes with the medication; the side effect is frequent trips to the bathroom. Now, its 6am and I wonder when I will sleep again.
