I have been off Lipitor for 2 weeks now. I still have slurred speech. My tongue is moving to beat the band. I have been to 2 neurologists and both have told me that I have "motor neuron disease". This drug is POISON and anyone on it should get off of it. I never had a problem before I started taking this drug. Now I am looking at ALS as a diagnosis. That is awful to think that I might have that. I will find out on April 14th when I go visit my Dr. at Mass General. I will let everyone know what comes out of it.

Help!! I need some advice. I'm 47 and have been diagnosed with HBP. I'm 6'2", 250 lbs. My Dr. has prescribed Lisinopril, which I'm suppose to pick up today. I've never been on any prescription medicine before. Don't have any known allergies. My BP averages 138/90 in the am and 170/117 in the evening. My fear is once I start taking this medication, am I on it forever? The side-effect described on this board are frightening. Any advice??

This is my second day taking methylpred for lumbar vetrebra swelling which causes pain down my left leg. I know I've taken this before but don't remember how I felt on it at that time. This time it's like I'm on high speed. I hardly slept last night. I had to end up take 1/2 xanax just to get a couple of hours of sleep. My pain in my back and leg is already feeling better. I do sense some anxiety and a little heaviness in my chest but I don't know if the medicine is causing this since I do have little bouts of anxiety every now and then - which I think is normal.

I woke up last night extremely dizzy- could hardly negotiate the trip to the bathroom and back. My eyes could not focus and the lighted area on my alarm clock moved back and forth at high speed. I could not make out the numbers on the clock. My doctor has now removed me from this medication.
