Hot and cold sweats symptoms and conditions

Hey guys i was given LEVAQUIN for a Bacterial infection, maybe a UTI or some other types pertaining with E-coli. At first i was fine. I was given 750 mg for 5 days. Today is 9 am of the 4th day and i have one more pill to go. First night was fine. Had a few nightmare, specially one pertaining to my umbilical cord poping out of my belly. VERY WEIRD... Second day was ok felt a little weak from the drug, but have severe anxiety attack. On the third day i started noticing. Some sores most probably thrushing form the drug ( years infection ) but more like sores in circles on my tongue. The fourth day i was the worst. My mind could not stop racing. I was very anxious. I could not even sit through a movie without going crazy. I had bed tremors. Left very HOT real quickly and started sweating and then feel cold when there is too much air blowing. Weird things like that. I got a lump in my throat. NOt sore but more like i can swallow my spit. I had no headaches at all from this drug. ( I THINK YOU GUYS NEED TO REALIZE THIS, headaches are caused by this drug if you do not drink A LOT OF WATER. I am now drinking about 4 to 5 liters of water a day. It helps with the JOINT ACES and headaches. BUT NOT the physiological effects. Man those are killers. I think i am going to take my last pill this evening at 7:30 and hope for the best. I have had no fever at all but soem fluxuation in degree of temp from 97 to 99 degree in general. Please if any of you guys have similar symptoms like mine, specially hot and cold sweats and mouth dryness and soars on your tongue. Please email me back i would like your input.
I am going to call my doctor today and ask him what to do but i am sure i ca continue on this drug.
thank you so much for all your post this put my mind at ease !! Because honestly i though that there was something wrong with me.
btw i am a 28 year old male

This is a great site for learning more on this subject where we can get the real facts from real experiences.( Vs. the deception from drug companies who are in the business for profit.)

Lipitor is pure poison, and Dr.'s hand it out like candy. All cholesterol reducing drugs that contain statins can trigger dangerous side effects. Not many of us are informed about the real danger of statins when we are handed the perscription. Inappropriate prescribing of medications will continue to be one of the leading causes of death. And we, the patients,do not always receive enough info. from our Dr.'s about the dangers and side effects from prescription drugs.

I'm 48 yrs. young. Female, small build, (was) healthy and active, happy, and an empty nester! My husband and I had moved to another province and hence had to find a new Dr.

I was prescribed lipitor 10 mg. daily after a routine check up by my Dr. because my cholesterol was a little high.

I started taking it in the winter 2005. I stopped taking it in mid June 2007... My side effects were progressive , drug induced, and it escalated to near disabling.

I knew something was terribly wrong. Was it A.L.S., M.S., West Nile, Lupis, Alzhiemers Disease, or a new designer disease? I did not suspect that the drug lipitor was the cause until much later.

At first, my Dr. said it was menopause. I should mention; since I've quit taking the drug 3 months ago, I have no symptoms of menopause !
At least my Dr. has acknowledged and diagnosed the cause of these profound symptoms." Myopathy as a result of statins."

Signs & symptoms I experienced are as follows;

Severe stomach pain.
Muscle pain, aching , weakness, stiffness, tenderness esp.to the lower extremities. Eventually, I could only shuffle to walk.
Pain in the palms of hands.
Stiff neck, shoulders, arms and lower back.
Trouble getting up from a seated position, and climbing stairs.
Extreme fatigue.
Hot and cold sweats
Night sweats
Fevers. High and low grade fevers.
Ringing in the ears.
Difficulty swallowing, and fear of choking.
Pain in the esophagus.
Memory loss, difficulty concentrating, forgetfulness.
NO appetite, yet a lot of weight gained around the abdomen area.Bloated.
NO taste buds.
Speech affected, slurring words and mispronouncing. Tongue felt swollen.
Trouble breathing at night, would wake up coughing ( and I was not smoking then).
Trouble sleeping.
Loss of balance and coordination.
Blurred vision esp. in the morning.
Sharp shooting pains in the Rt. thigh.

Most of the symptoms have now subsided. I still have some foot pain and leg cramps and muscle stiffness... and poor concentration. Putting this together has been done with great difficulty, as I seem to pause a great deal and forget what I was trying to say. The recovery process is slow but at least it's progress. My Dr. has not prescribed any more medication. I've done my own research, after the fact, and started taking coQ10. and I've noticed a big difference!

Quality of life? Well, I'd rather have high cholesterol and die from that, than be poisoned again by statins. What quality is there, to live an extremely painful, useless and unfulfilling life? We were all guinea pigs, and we paid a terrible price for this! I hope we all can recover from this with no long term side effects.
If you are considering taking cholesterol lowering drugs do some careful research on statin drugs before you take them, and read the testimonies from those effected by them.

I received kenalog and novacaine inj. in my scalp for over two years. From surgery for bellspalsy I had and my eyes and face did not go back. My scalp startid itching 2 mnths later. I went to at least 10 different doctors to find out what was wrong. The doctor new all the time it was from the cut nerve endings in my scalp. A neurologist finally told me the bad news. Nothing can be done. Belive me I know your pain. This has been going on for 10 years. Somtimes I wish I would not wake up. My famly is at the end of their ropes and I've pushed all my friends away. I just went to the emergency room with upper respitory problems and heart , panic, palpatatins, can' sleep you name it I have it I just made 59 and went through Katrina and my whole family lost their homes and lives they new. Nine grandchildren and 4 married children, I can't enjoy life at all. Right now i',m going from hot and cold sweats and this has been going on for years. (I have every side effect that everyone has posted. Ruined life from La to Mississippi

3 year old son, prescribed this med, due to possible allergic reaction last spring, with Amoxicilian, for a sinus infection, this year for ear infection. Took his last dose today, of 10 doses, began with a temp, yesterday of 102.4 (spike), and noticing, daily, cheeks getting progressively red, today the worst and still fever. Looks like an allergic reaction also, and I'm seeing the beginning signs of small red dots on his trunk, also increased urination, with hot and cold sweats. I'm hoping this clears up now that he's finished the Sulphameth, another red alert.

am taking 100 dox 2x daily for 2 weeks after being bitten by a tick. wasn't concerned when they told me to start this medicine, didn't expect much in the way of side effects. i will also add that take thyroid meds and they were adjusted downward 3 weeks ago.

i am also being menopause. The first things i noticed were the hot and cold sweats. bone chilling deep inside you cold. menpause? Then the ringing in the ears. Waking up hungry in the middle of the night after the anorexic effect of the medicine wore off. blurred vision ans swollen face. not enough to tell the doctor, but around my eyes especially.

A couple of nights panic attacks and sleeping but not really knowing it. Next came the waking up dizzy with the bad headaches and or having neausa and stomache aches after taking it.

irritability on occasions as well as chest pains. was surprised at my low level of tolerance to noise. i'm stopping this today even though have just one day left.

I will NEVER take this medication again. I was perscribed Sulfameth 3 days ago for a mild UTI, and yesterday I called my doctor to have them call in a new perscription for me because I refuse to take that garbage any longer. I have had the most HORRIBLE headache I've ever felt, and I have a relatively high threshold for pain and discomfort. I've left work early due to vomitting and nausea, I've been dizzy, diapharetic, had a constant terrible taste in my mouth, I've experienced blurred vision and white spots in my vision, muscle aches, joint pain, muscle spasms, I've been unable to sleep even though I've been exhausted, I've been nervous, and near tears with a pounding heart beat and shallow breathing like an anxiety attack, I've had hot and cold sweats, indecisiveness, nervousness, intolerable neck and back pain, pain in my left kidney, and terrible sinus pain and pressure. This stuff is awful. When I went to pick up my new perscription for Cipro - something I've taken before with no negative side effects - the phamacist said I was probably allergic to sulfur drugs. Now I see that my experience was not unique. I wish I'd found this site before beginning Sulfameth. These side effects were terrible. I do not recommend this medication.

Took this for a UTI - stopped taking after 6 days because of:

Fever (101.5) - hot and cold sweats
Severe headaches
Nausea
Dizziness

I would think twice about taking this drug again. It got rid of the UTI fine but the side effects were horrendous - couldn't move out of bed for a whole day.

Following an op on 12th Sept I was given a self administered morphine pump, (Safe measured doses??). Within 6 hours I was experiencing extremly dry mouth, and De-jevous (I knew what was going to be said or done before it happened.)Then the most terrifying hallucinations. My senses were wide open. I could hear every conversation in the ward and outside all at once and it was all going on in MY head. The smell of flowers at the other end of the ward was overpowing.
Along with this came hot and cold sweats even though my temp and pulse were normal. I had the shakes and was VERY confused and frightened and became paranoid. I ripped out all my tubes and phoned the police to say they were trying to kill me. The hallucinations lasted about 4/5 days and the rest about 3 weeks. All this was made worse by the fact that neither Docs or nurses accepted all I was going through. I had no sympathy understanding, counselling and was expected for the most part to look after myself.
I now have post traumatic stress due to how I was treated in hospital during this personal crisis.
