On Tegretol for bipolar. My wife feels my BP is improved. I only note improved in my manic side. Depressive side still unpleasant and dangerous. When started and when dosing changed, I had grogginess, with abated after a few few. Am on many meds, Haldol and clonazepam (for Tourette's) and lithium and now Tegretol (for bipolar), and feel this combination of meds has resulting in debilitating sexual dysfunction. Do not believe E.D. caused by any one med, but by the combination. Do not know what to do about this as I need this meds. Ain't life fun?

My husband and I found out he had Meatastic prostate cancer 13 months ago..We went to the doctor because his lymph glands were hudge.. He has been on the Lupron injections ever since.. He had really bad hot flashes for the 1st few months but that has past, but now he is very moody and angry for no reason.. He yells and gets angry over the littlest things i think he is going crazy and he is driving me nuts, he has no desire for me and is rude and acts like he don't even like me sometimes.. it is torture to me..He has depression he doesn't enjoy anything like he use to.. whenever we go try to have fun he gets all stressed and makes the fun turn into miserable..He acts as if he has no problems..He has some big rashes on his legs and crack and I am pretty sure it is from the Lupron shot also.. he has a little aches and pains. Very tired all the time..just about a week ago we found out the Lupron shot is not working very well anymore, his psa level went up to a 15..I am thankful for the shot because i know it has saved him some time to be here.. I love him so much, but the way he is now has caused me to feel like he is a grouchy roommate on his period 24/7.. There is other things like casodex to take but i heard it does not work as well as the Lupron..Hopefully one of these days they can find something that works even better then Lupron without the side affects..The lupron Shot has helped many people live longer, but what about the quality of life he is miserable but I am sure he rather be alive and miserable.. Good luck to everyone with the Lupron shot, it is a trying time when they or you go through these changes and do not understand why you feel negative and unhappy..

Within 5 days of beginning course of Geodon, 40mg daily, doc doubled my dosage to 80mg, began to have problems. Intensely manic, easily frightened, insomnia, terrifying dreams. I decided to get out of hospital ASAP and decide if to quit taking Geodon.
On day six already my face was twitching, was irritable and manic, pacing, increasingly manic throughout day, decided to skip evening dose, keep total dosage same as before, 40mg. Began tripping around midnight and it was all downhill from there. Sleepless all night, by morning I had convulsions, increased heart rate, fear and anxiety, psychosis, uncontrollable crying. Had another seizure 12 hours later. Slept a little with help of Valium. Next day developed Parkinson's like symptoms, had my father not been there to help me, Lord knows what would have happened to me. Still awake in day 3 of withdrawal. Hoping the worst is over.

I was taking Trileptal for mood swings. After hearing a lot of great things about it, I took it for only a few days before I started having Tardive Dyskinesia side effects-- for me, this was a twisting kind of pain in my neck and back. It made it almost impossible for me to sleep. I finally got Cogentin to stop the twisting muscle cramps.

Maybe not everyone will get this type of cramping muscle pain; I get it with some neuroleptics since I took Haldol for years, and it is notorious for causing Tardive Dyskinesia. I don't usually have the TD, only flares up when i take certain meds.
good luck to all, I was hopeful Trileptal would work for me since so many people state it helps them and has few side effects.
I also thought I ate more while taking it. :-(

Daughter 17 years of age 6 months pregnant
broke out in hives last Thursday. Was put on prednisone. 20 mgs per pill. Took 3 pills Friday, 3 pills on Saturday, 2 on Sunday and went into a psychosis she's been confused, hallucinating, paranoid, you name she is. They put her on Haldol now, she took her 3rd dose today. She suppose to take the Haldol for 7 days. I had to take the week off from work to be with her. I'm not upset with that but I do think the ER dr is an ass and should not of given her such a high dose of prednisone

Please keep her & her baby in our prayers

hi im seventeen. and ive been on seroquel for a couple of months now. and yes ive gained weight but most of it was from zyprexa. but im bloated from seroquel and i look a bit pregnant to tell you the truth.

but what ive noticed from this drug is im experiencing EXTREME muscle stiffness in my jaw and the pain is horrible. docs dont know whats wrong so they just give me tylenol 3. but when thats gone what am i to do. cos they cant give me anymore.... and nothing over the counter works. and im still in extreme pain. hopefully the pain subsides in a few days cos tonight is the last night for the 400mgs of seroquel that im on.

i heard haldol gives worse pain... true or not? let me know. does anyone know of any anti psychotic that decreases weight? other than abilify..

Two days ago I was prescribed Levaquin for a kidney infection. 18 hours later I started having nightmares, paranoia, and shakiness. At 24 hours I took my next dose. Within 2 hours I had a terrible taste in my mouth, felt extremely dizzy, in a panic, disoriented, a feeling of doom, and rapid breathing. By the time I got to the hospital I was shaking all over, crying uncontrollably, skin felt like it was crawling, and I had begun to hallucinate. Horrible things! The drs. started with benadryl, it did not work. Next came Ativan, it helped but did not stop the hallucinations...Finally I was given Haldol and it stopped the hallucinations. That was yesturday. The hallucinations are gone, but the dizziness, parnoia, disoriontation, shakiness, and just plain feeling "out of it" is still here! The Dr. sent me home with a new antibiotic, (macrodantin) and 30 ativan pills. How long will these horrible side affects continue??? please email me if you had a similiar experience.
