Hallway symptoms and conditions

My doctor prescribed Reglan to help increase my breast milk supply. After a few days I started getting a stiff jaw. After several hours it got so intense that I felt I needed to go to the doctors. I called my husband at work and asked if he could come home and take me to the doctors. He worked about 25 minutes away. By the time he got home I was screaming in pain - something I had never done in my life before. He took me straight to Urgent Care. I advised them that I thought I was having a reaction to the Reglan I had taken. By this time by jaw was spasming so bad that it felt like my jaw and teeth were going to shatter in my mouth. The doctor said Reglan would not do this and gave me a shot and said to go home and contact my Dentist. While I was waiting for the paperwork I started having problems breathing and swallowing. At this point Urgent Care discharged me and told me to go to ER. Once I was at ER and finally got seen I advised the doctor of my symptoms and that I thought it had to do with the Reglan. He actually listened to me and agreed that it was the Reglan and said he would administer a shot of Benadryl to counteract the effects of it. It took them over a hour from that point to get me the shot. It was the longest and most painful hour of my life. I was literally sat on a bed in a hallway at the ER screaming in pain. Within minutes of the Benadryl being administered I was feeling 100% better. I highly recommend seeking medical attention at the very first sign of any muscle spasms or involuntary movement while you are on this drug. Thank to you everyone else for sharing their experiences with us.

Three days into the ultram 200mg, once a day, I experienced a "tonic clonic seizure" what is formally known as a grand mal seizure.

From what my husband tells me it was so severe that he had to call the paramedics. I don't remember the entire seizure at all. I faintly remember seeing 4 heads coming to me down the hallway, and that was all I remember. John, my husband told me that was the paramedics and the fire department. Since they did not see the seizure taking place I was not taken to the emergency room or hospital.

I do remember laying on the bed for 4 days after the seizure unable to move, eat or drink. I was completely exhausted. I've a follow up appointment with my primary care physician on Tuesday, as in required by law to be seen and I believe I may have to sign a paper requiring me not to drive for the next 6 months.

I'm worried to say the least. I'd never had a seizure before in my life and I'm 47 years old now. I'm still experiencing nausea, inability to eat...even though its been just 2 weeks since the seizure.

I have been going through depression and extreme exhaustion and not wanting to be alone in a room since the seizure. The abdominal pains feel almost like when a menstrual period will start, severe enough to make one bend over double and an aching inside as well. Having had a hysterectomy over 7 years ago, I know that is not the issue.

I suffer from cluster headaches as well as several other ailments (Doctors say..."we know it's something we just can't figure it out"...sigh). With my latest bout of cluster headaches they decided to put me on prednisone..60 mg for 4 days...30 for 3 days..etc. until I tapered down. Worked great! Headaches went away and I was feeling wonderful (terribly agitated but physically wonderful) until I went off of it (headaches returned with a vengeance. They immediately started me on a second round of Prednisone at 60 per day. Third day, on this second round, I went to get out of bed and BAM!!! fell straight to the floor. I had absolutely no muscle control below my waist...NONE! Laid there on the floor for about a half hour (trying to get up as I flailed around). Managed to finally raise to a somewhat standing position. Walked (shuffled) down the hallway to the bathroom to try and use the toilet. Went to sit down on it and promptly fell wedging myself between the toilet and the wall...(a disturbing visual). A relative helped me (how humiliating) out from my predicament and we immediately called the doctor. I was told it was not the prednisone but a flaring of my underlying vascular/soft tissue disorder and to stop prednisone. Stopped prednisone, next morning went to get up and low and behold I could stand but I had excruciating pain shooting into my hips, knees and ankles which once again made me fall (from agonizing pain). Day three off of prednisone and the excruciating pain upon rising is better but far from over. Currently, extreme muscle fatigue...so weak my poor little muscles won't even quiver. Headaches are back. Red swollen face...ack!!!...what a nightmare.

Click on my name and read my other posts! I am wondering after reading soooo many posts, how many of you felt like you couldn't "shut your brain off" when you were trying to sleep? (OR how many of your children described their bed time this way?) The big link seems to be that people (especially kids and teens) are having trouble falling asleep and staying asleep, and that the lack of deep sleep is resulting in most of these mood swings, depression, outbursts, etc... and Singulair is causing this sleeplessness! Sleep deprivation is a form of torture. Singulair causes sleep deprivation; therefore, Singulair =torture! (sorry, merck, but you are reaping profits off our children's suffering!)

My daughter did not just suffer sleeplessness. She was found in her dorm hallway in a zombie like state, not responding to questioning and hauled to a hospital in an ambulance. They initially thought she had overdosed on drugs!!!! (she tested negative for drugs, by the way) The next two weeks were living hell for my daughter and our family, but once she was out of the hospital and not taking any Singulair, life returned to normal. Not just normal, exceedingly spectacular!

Immediately after took the Levaquin and my throat began itching like 40 ants were crawling down my esophagus. My chest started physically burning like I'd drank alcohol. I stopped being able to talk within 30 seconds and within a minute I couldn't breath through my nose and I started coughing and couldn't breathe. My face swelled up like I had Down's Syndrome. One of my eyes couldn't see from the swelling. I turned beet red and had welps all over my body. When I got the hospital I thought I was going to die in the hallway..I felt like I was underwater and couldn't breathe. They shot me full of ephedrine in me and started breathing again. I asked if I could have more to take home and they said it was illegal for me to have. If I didn't live close to the ephedrine, I don't know how long I would have lasted.
The doctors said I needed to quit doing drugs(I was in my 20's). I was too weak and drained to disagree with him. He said the drug wasn't the cause. I can't believe this drug is on the market. I can't believe people are still taking it without any warnings. I talked to 2 lawyers , but they said my hospital bills wouldn't justify this going to court. I am glad this forum is here to warn people.

I am 26 years old and was prescribed Yasmin to help deal with Polycystic Fibrosis. I have been on it 6 weeks and immediately saw weight gain, but this past week I have had an EXTREME loss of breath. I am a teacher and began breathing as if I had just run around the block after I simply walked down the hallway. I haven't seen that anyone else has mentioned this, please let me know if you have

My doc put me on one mg then gave me a higher dose, then called me told me to go cold turkey and start with lower dose. started taking it yesterday and this morning I woke up with a migraine so bad I couldn't walk down the hallway I was so dizzy I threw up.

Yesterday my Doctor prescribed 120mg Geodon at night along with 10mg of tomazepam and during the day 150mg of Wellbutrin 10mg Lexapro and 100mg of Lamictal
I slept all the way through the night but this morning felt awful, difficulty forming words and feiling faint. I knew that Ihad to force myself to do something and went swiming, I hate getting my head in the water but my head was so hot that I went under water to try and clear my thinking and aleive the headache
I was unsure which of the night medications produced these reactions
I have been on Wellbutrin Clexa Nerontin wellbutrin and more recently Lymictal and Seriquil were added
It is scary to hear everyone else's side effects to this drug.
Has anyone been switched because of thier side effects?

Tingling and numbing of thumb, forefinger and middle finger and adjoining portion of palm; vertigo various times - sometimes while descending stairs, sometimes when rounding a corner in a hallway; low back pain and inability to stand up straight after sitting for an hour in the car; spontaneous vomiting a couple of times when I first started; severe stomach pain; bleeding attributed to irritated stomach lining.
I have been on lisinipril for over 10 years.

I started Geodon almost two weeks ago. And I am already stopping. My doctor wanted me to take 40mg the first night, 80mg the second, and 120 the third. I took the 40mg the first night, was passed out cold in exactly two hours (and i didn't want to be). The next day I barely made it out of bed, and missed to classes. Then I fell asleep during my last one, woke up with an extreme stomach pain, ran out, and fainted in the hallway. That night I took 80mg. I didn't move from two afters I took it until 5pm the next day. I was completely useless. And felt horrible when I would try to wake up. It was as though my body was asleep but my mind was trying so hard to wake up but failing. I called the doc and went back down to 40 for the next week. Same effects of immediate sleep exactly 2 hours after taking. Then immobile until at least 1pm, but closer to 3-5 pm. Any time I was awake I was yelling, I was furious! At everyone, everything. The next week he made me move up to 80mg. I felt as though someone had knocked me out. I have never been on a drug that affected me in this way. It made me completely unable to function, as well as it seemed to increase my anxiety threefold, and other sensations that had never existed appeared. I decided I would not put my body, mind, or friends through this any more. Last night was my first night without it. It is now 2:30pm the next day, and I have yet to fall asleep. I spent the whole night wide awake sweating like crazy in what my boyfriend described as an icebox. I feel so uncomfortable and I just want to scream. But I would rather want to scream that be someone that couldn't even move. And hopefully the withdrawl will pass. We'll see. I don't understand why this drug is on the market - it seems as though every person that takes it hates it. or at least has extreme side effects

I took the prescribed dosage of Ultracet (2 caplets every 6 hrs as needed for pain) on Friday afternoon. It was prescribed for an injury to my wrist that resulted in prolonged swelling and pain. I took it on an empty stomach because the directions said it would make no difference and would speed absorption. About 30 minutes later I ate. Big mistake. I had severe nausea and a dizzy, woozy feeling. I did vomit but must have retained enough of the drug as I was still groggy 8 hours later. I rode it out all night and did not take the recommended dosage after 6 hours. No pain though. I decided the dosage was too much for me and took one pill, with food, the next morning. I spent all day in the recliner, fading in and out, and letting the Movie Channel watch me! The Ultracet relieved my pain...I think. I certainly did not have the intense pain I had suffered but I also lost my ability to function. I stopped taking the medication. There is no way I could drive or work while taking Ultracet. I had enough trouble navigating the hallway.
