Immediatley symptoms and conditions

a full week after my first remicade treatment, i suddenly developed a very severe headache, followed by a stiff neck, a stiff left arm, a sore jaw where i couldn't open my mouth very far and i could not chew, then developed a fever, chills and itching. It came on fast but also subsided a good bit within about 12 hours. has anyone else experienced something like this, a full week after a treatment?

I started taking Yaz 3 weeks ago and I am feeling very sick, this headache wont go away ,stomach pain that's constant and dizziness and diarrhea I did not have this pain before, it just started when I started taking Yaz I should have research this Birth Control before I started taking it .Does anyone know how long it takes for this Birth control to be out of your system.

I don't know what to do, I have been on Levaquin (750 mg) for approx. 8 days now, I have 6 more days to go. I was prescibed this drug due to being diagonosed with MRSA. However the infection has gone away, I began to have extreme pain in my both knees. Sleeping has been difficult as well waking up with night sweats. I will bare the pain for the 6 remaining days. But if the pain tends to get worse, I will need to consult my physician

Folks seriously this drug is bad news. Yes it worked great for my son's asthma. We thought it was a wonder drug. Then things changed. My son had horrible side effects to this also. It took us 5 months to link it to the meds. I realized after reading this website and all the blogs from other parents. My son is 4 years old and had the following symptoms: Weight loss, poor appetite, muscle and joint pain, headaches, unexplained fevers, complained of seeing colors, blue under the eyes, severe stomach cramps and horrible horrible thoughts no 4 year old should ever experience in their mind. I did not even know who my child was that is how scary it was. This is such a dangerous drug. I have talked to several other parents who this has happened too including having seizures out of the blue with no history. I work in the medical field and it seems only a few docs are recognizing this. I have seen this in other kids. This drug may be great for others and yes there are side effects to every medication. However I do not think all these children are having the same side effects. Do you?? SERIOUSLY TAKE YOUR KIDS OFF THIS TERRIBLE DRUG, REPORT IT TO THE FDA!!!

I was taking Danazol for 20years in alow dose for pressitant breast pain. I gradually began to suffer from muscle pains for no apparent reason. My doctor immediately stopped the Danazol, although wouldn't admit they were causing the problem. I ''fell apart at the seams''. None of my muscles worked properly, I had extremely high blood pressure, could barely walk, I was in constant pain and had to have massage for 2 hours per day. My eyes ached, I couldn't control my bladder and bowels very well. I thought I was going to die. My doctor sent me for numerous blood tests, endoscopes etc. But said I was depressed. I was depressed, because I felt so ill !
Its now 4 years since I stopped Danazol and I feel it has caused long term damage to my muscles. I have tried everything from massage to supplements. Things have improved a great deal, but I find it difficult to exercise as I tire very easily and particularly my back muscles seize up even after sitting for any length of time.

Has anyone else been on a low dose of Danazol for this length time. Have you suffered?

Well I thought I was crazy too! I have been taking Yasmin for 5 years now and I have been experiencing so many different side effects I thought it was just me getting older and my body was changing. I have noticed everything from major anxiety attacks, fatigue, depression, snapping uncontrollably and being on edge (I am not that kind of person) , skin dryness, discoloration after being in the sun, hair loss, ringing in my ears, I even went to the ear doctor because my husband thought I was going deaf. Also I have experienced such a bad experience with urinary tract infections as well as yiest infections which I feel is due to the Yasmin as well. I never had any of these ailments before taking this pill. About a month and a half ago I decided to cleanse my body of the pill wondering if this could be affecting me and I didn't realize how much it was until I started taking it again one month later within two days I noticed it unbelievably I felt so edgy and started snapping again immediatley. I notified my obgyn and told her what I thought she recommended taking B-6, I tried it and it didn't make a difference so I asked to switch to the YAZ which claims to help with moodiness, fatigue etc...after being on it for one month I think the effects are actually worse. I have decided to quit taking the pill all together. I can't believe people can be feeding this stuff to humans with all these side effects. I am so glad to have found this web site. Now I know I am not crazy!!! Best of luck to everyone.

I've been on the pill for almost two weeks now, the first week I had no symptoms then on Monday I started bleeding and have been bleeding ever since. I hope the symptoms go away soon because I don't know how much longer I can take the bleeding espically since I just had my period less than two weeks ago.

I was prescribed 10mg/day for 140/80 BP. Started with 5mg/day. Almost immediatley had less energy and trouble sleeping. After 1 week terrible nightmares and no sex drive. After 2 weeks (still on 5mg/d) had a flare-up of Crohns. Stopped the lisinopril for a month while taking prednisone for the Crohns. Then restarted the lisinopril and the same thing happened. These are the only two flare-ups I have had this year! No more lisinopril for me. This drug is worse than the illness it is supposed to correct.

This website probably saved my 9-year-old's life. He started taking Singulair in August following three major asthma attacks (his first). When he started having anxiety problems we believed it post traumatic stress as he knew he could have died in August. However the anxiety got much worse.

By November he wouldn't leave me (he had previously been extremely happy and confident). He cried continually and didn't know why. By December he was deeply depressed, wouldn't sleep or go upstairs, was frightened continually but didn't know why. By mid-Jan he had simply had enough and wanted to die. He talked of death continuously.

At that point I found this website and took him off Singualir. Within 2 days, my son who hadn't smiled for 2 months, was running around with the dog smiling, saying how beautiful a sunny day was, and could think without crying. On night five he had terrible withdrawal symptoms, walls and furniture appeared to move, and he screamed to be taken to the hospital as he couldn't control his mind. We sat it out. The next day he was better.

That was five weeks ago. All the fear has gone, all the deep sadness. He went back to sleeping in his own bed on night 7 and hasn't looked back. Yesterday he went back to school having been off for 2 months - only five weeks ago he told me he would die if I left him at school, now he's happy to be back.

This drug is very, very dangerous. I honestly believe if my son had been older he would have committed suicide. I warn every parent out there to watch their children on this drug, it can affect the mind terribly.

The thought of giving Singulair to young children who cannot explain how they feel horrifies me.

hello everybody,
i am one among you.one who silently suffered from the side effects of inhaler for asthma and one who prides on doing years of research in the internet about various issues concerning the disease.
i cant say i am a good researcher though coz i found this site after more than 2 yrs of active internet browsing.many things have changed in these years.i tried my hand at few alternatives.
to cut long story short, i am asthmatic since 8 yrs.used inhalers intermittently for most of that time.i used corticosteroids(initially budisonide and later Salmeterol+Fluticasone which is same as advair).i live in india.here the brand name for avair i seroflo.im 23 now.
ok i started getting side effects from year 2000.firstly i had rhinits.rhintis is another allergic disease.may not be a side effect but i have a very strange rhinitis.i just have a stubborn nose block 24 hrs a day and the nose block wud start immediatley after i take the inhaler.it happens the moment my lungs start feeling good from the inhaler.usually rhintis patients have itching runny nose or any other accompanying symptom and wud get releif from antihistamines.but i wudnt get.docs precribed a steroid spray for my nose.
then i had throat problem.frequent thraot infection and then narrowing of throat making it diificult to swallow.i reported it to the doc in 2001 and was sent to ent doctor for consultation.he sadi everythin is normal.
then i started having frequent urination,eye dryness and blurring vision sometimes,oral thrush,chronic diarrhoea,dizziness an light headed ness,diabetes like symptoms ,weakness,white patches on cheeks,hairloss,cramps in hands and legs,fluid retention etc.
all through this time i gained weight.i became a puffed up adult from a very thin guy.i have stretch marks near my neck and my face mooned up.well i also have a right bundle branch block in my heart .it many not be a direct symptom.and its normal in it that it has no known symptoms(its not a disease its present in healthy hearts too,it is nothing to be worried about)
when i went to th doctor with my side effects and the internet print out of cushings disease(which has same symptoms as my side effects) and candidiasis ,he made me undergo diabetis tests and hiv tests.from those results i was directed to a psychriatiast.
i decided to go big in the internet.i joined many groups ,read much and still i cudnot figure what i had.i still was taking medication for asthma.i thought all my symptoms are of asthma and rhintis.i decided to tkae allergy shots.in inida theres only 1 place to get them .i had to travel for 2 days in train to get them.this happened a year ago.and the shots so far did some good.
still i had the side effects i changed docotor.he wud write down my case as known asthmatic rhintis and depression.he was exactly like the previous one.i was ake to see psychriatist.i stopped him too.this happened 6 months before.
by this time i was using acidophilus to stop my diarrhoe and read a lot about homeopathy.
i didnt beleive in homeoapthy.but i tried it.its been 4 months so far.by this time i know what i have.i.e i know where from my symptoms have come.in homeopathy all these symptoms are actually well known.my homeo docotr said he had seen many lik me.but he said its a long proces atleast 6 months.until now i have seen that homeopathy will atleast stop those severe bouts of asthma attack and does some changes to most of the symptoms.well dizziness and head symptoms are firt to go away.yet i didnt have major releif from homeoapathy.but one thing is for sure,its not what i intially thought.
as of now i am able to control my asthma with homepathy and i am tkaing allergy shots.i do use the bronchilator inhaler soem times.but my stubborn nose nose block wudnt change much.
i alos used singulair many times.

that was a post i made in thsi forum 1 and 1/2 year ago.now i am happy to say,my asthma allergies and all the side effects from long term allopathic drugs have finaly been totaly cured.homeopathy is slow,but has permanent cure.the onyl challenge being finding a good homeopath.

After taking this medication for 4 days I woke up from a terrible nightmare shaking uncontrollably with a rushing sound in my ears, felt like my brain was being sucked out of my skull, I immediatley stopped taking the medication but I suffered with a bad headache for the rest of the day.

After 4 days of taking this medication I woke up from the worst nightmare shaking uncontrollably with a rushing sound in my ears, felt like my brain was being sucked out of my skull, stopped taking it immediatley, I had the worst headache for the rest of the day.

My four year old son was on omnicef for the very first time. He had a re-occuring ear infection that would not go away with the normal treatment, which was augmentin. The morning of his last dose, he awoke several hours prior to his norm, screaming, crying, and could not get comfortable at all. I awoke to get him a quick drink of water, and he followed me. At that time I had noticed blotches all over his face, neck, hair line, torso, legs, arms, yeah, everywhere. Being that I work in the early childhood field and have a 7 year old as well, I had thought it was just the begining of the ever so popular chicken pox. I gave him a bath in the oatmeal mix and noticed after that the blotches did not come to a head but had now gotten what seemed to be even worse. I called the doctor, at this point extremely concerned, he had never had an allergic reaction to anything before, and he was nearly done with the meds, why now was he having a reaction? I took him in and upon the doctor arriving into the room she peeked inside and yelled to the nurse to get 2 1/2 teaspoons of orapred immediatley, he was displaying an extremely severe allergic reaction to the omnicef. Apparently it takes days to be in thier systems in order to then have the reaction. That was yesterday morning. He is now doing fine, but on benadryl and orapred for several days, I just hope all the hives go completely away. So, what I could say is you never know how your child will react to a new medication, you need to be aware when your child is taking something new all the possible side effects, becuase unfortunatley it can happen to anyone or any child.

I was put on Lisinopril for high blood pressure one month ago. I had previously been on Benicar but could not afford it to be quite honest as I am a single mom. Anyway I developed the dry hacking cough right away but thought it was allergy related as the pollen count around here is unbearable. Finally after taking all kinds of over the counter meds for allergies to try and ease the cough, I finally went back to the doc to be treated for the allergies ? only to be informed by the doc of the cough as a side effect of taking Lisinspril. I had no allergy at all ! He immediatley switched me to Diovan ( I think I have that spelling right as I don't have the bottle in front of me ) and so since I am still coughing some ( not as bad ) and since its just been 2 days I thought I would look into seeing how long this cough was supposed to last after discontinuing the medicine so hence I found my way to this web site listing side effects. Haven't found out how long I might still have the cough after discontinuing but hope its not much longer. Anyway just wanted to post and warn all about the cough. It is horrible and kept me up all night long for weeks and would choke you without warning. Awful stuff althought it did the trick where the blood pressure was concerned I can not justify the cough.

I went to my Doctor with a few complaints about some aches and pains about a year ago. He decided I was depressed and put my on Effexor 75mg.
At first I had no side effects from the drug. Then I forgot to take 2 doses. I was outside picking up leaves when I went into this terrible time of vertigo. I couldnt walk my whole world was spinning. I immediately thought it was because of missing the doses. The vertigo lasted 3 days. My Doctor told me it was no way caused by The Pill and that It was most likey an inner ear problem. I decided to cut the pill in half on my own. Even with that little of a dose, if I forget to take it I immediatley start to feel side effects such as a very heavy feeling in the top of my head. vertigo, confusion, low concentration, fuzzy eye sight and with any noses, or even if my husband starts to talk I get a jolt like feeling in my head. On an everyday basis while taking the small doses I have to be carefull not to go down to a laying position, or change my position to fast because I will have vertigo. Not to mention my libido is gone. No one told me of all these side effects, I wouldnt of ever started it!!
Today would have been day 3 of cutting my half of a pill in half but when I woke up I was having all of the side effects I mentioned above so I had to take the whole half which is only 37.5 mg!!
How Do I get off this nasty pill??

I am 23 years old and was diagnosed with asthma when I was 2 years old. I beleive I have taken every medication out there. I was on and off steroids since I was 6. I take my albuterol inhaler when needed and advair diskus 250/50. I began taking advair about 3 or 4 years ago and have seen an increase in weight gain over the past 2 years. I work out obsessively and still no weight loss. I joined weight watchers and eat under the points I am suppose to and still no results. I tired taking singular and broke out with lumps all over my body, so I had to immediatley get off of that. After reading everyone else's reactions to advair, i feel that I am not alone in the asthma world. I as well have really bad mood swings, headaches, trouble sleeping. After reading this website, i am going to get off Advair immediatley.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
well i also pride myselves as a good writer.i wrote down the following piece when i was utterly helpless.ie when i was aske to see psychriatist and i didnt know where from i had so many debileating symptoms.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
I entered into a region of darkness. Nothing seemed
to me. I turned around, everything appeared black. I tried to look
through it, yet nothing appeared. I stood still and quiet. I stopped
looking through. I saw I was surrounded by darkness. Just black
darkness.
I would wait now. I was getting very weak. I thought I
should sit now. But the darkness never changed.
I was sitting on the floor endlessly. I thought in my
selves endlessly. I lost track of the time. I only waited. I was
keen to catch anything.I moaned. I collapsed on the floor.
Finally I heard something.
I could hear some voices. Some familiar voices. They were
many. They were all talking about me. They were forming opinions on
me.
I raised my voice. I told them how everything around me is.
Some light began to appear.
Their image began to evolve from darkness. The image was
very blurred. Slowly it got clearer. The images of the persons who
were talking began to take shape. Their images were roughly formed.
I saw my parents, friends, relatives and even people I know
but never spoke to. But they weren't looking at me. They seemed to
have not noticed me.
I got up and spoke to them. I told them
everything. I cried. I shouted.I tried everyhting.
The image faded away. Darkness was again
filling up. I can only listen to them now.
They were talking about me. They were
forming opinions on me. They were talking very loudly. I couldn't
bear
the noise. I looked at the darkness. I fell on the floor. I realized
there is only darkness now. Just black darkness.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

First was diahrea
weakness
strange feeling
the worst was the extream high then the extream low,
I would laugh then I would cry then paranoia this seem to last for hours altho I am sure it didn't. I would say stupid things. I would ask people if they wanted to dance. I had a cigarette and I asked if I smoked.

I was very aware of what I was saying and doing but had no control over it.
I told my husband to call the drug store and tell them I had a reaction the the cough medicine, they gave him a number to call and and ambulance was sent to my home, I was taken to the hospital and injected with adavan and and came down immediatley. I slept from 5pm to 5 30 am and fine the next day

I started Yasmine 1 week ago yesterday. I vomited on Wednesday night and have been nauseous ever since. I can't eat and I have to stay close to the bathroom since as well because the diahrrea won't stop. I have lost all motivation to do anything. I lost sex drive as well which hasn't ever happened. I am exhausted all the time. I am very easily irritable and have snapped at my husband for dumb things all week. I cry at the drop of a hat. Does anyone know the tv show Scrubs? I started crying at the end of that. I get entire body aches. I am going to call my doctor tomorrow to get off this. I feel a bit better towards night, then I take my pill right before bed and then by morning I feel terrible again. My arms have been extremely dry. I knew immediatley that it was Yasmin because of the immediate extreme side effects. I switched because of the weight gain from the last pill. I'll take a few extra pounds over what I'm getting now. My husband immediately googled the side effects of Yasmine and I'm so grateful to know this is the pill and that I'm not psycho and falling apart.

YASMIN IS EVIL!!!!!!!

Hi Girls,

I posted my Yasmin experience a few weeks ago and i urge you all to listen to your bodies! I lost some of my hearing, had a severe migrain for three weeks, dizziness, blurred vision, chest pains that would go into the left hand side of my body, cramps in my legs and toes and i thought i was going crazy! Not one doctor suggested that Yasmin might be causing all my pain.

I had to fork out $1000 for a bloodtest, catscan, five prescribed medications including pain killers and to see an Ear Nose and Throat specialist who charges $250 for 15 minutes!

I had a gut feeling that Yasmin was causing all my problems and when all my tests came back fine, i was truly convinced. I stoppped taking it immediatley, but when i fronted my doctor with all my symptoms she looked at me as if i was crazy and was adamant that Yasmin or any other B/C would not cause such severe side effects.

She then went and got her big medical book and looked up YASMIN and sure enough all of my symptoms were there in black and white. I knew more about this pill than she did, and she then said that i did the right thing coming off YASMIN as she was concerned that blood clots might be forming!!!!

I am furiuous that not one doctor questioned YASMIN, they truly believe that it is harmless and that severe side-effects are uncommon. But judging from this site we all know that YASMIN is doing more harm than good. I have been off YASMIN for two weeks now and all of my symptoms have gone. The first few days were so painful, it was as though YASMIN was slowly making its way out of m body.

I am so glad that i listened to my body, i knew that YASMIN was to blame and trust me I'm not crazy when i say that YASMIN IS EVIL!!! This pill has only been around for three years, not enough research has gone into it and the doctors are clueless! Please trust your instincts, not the doctors!

Feel free to e-mail me ****** if you need any advice or want to have a good bitch about YASMIN.

Thanks for your stories

Hi, Girls!

What a great site for us to share our pain and joy about YASMIN. I'm from Sydney, Australia and doctors here seem to be cluless about any sort of pill and their side-effects. I've been on B/C for 3 and a half years and 4 months ago my dotor told me to stop taking TRIPHEME and start YASMIN. TRIPHEME caused bloating, wieght gain and tiredness.

I was told that YASMIN was the "best B/C" because it contains a diruretic. The first three months was fantastic, no more bloating, i had all this energy and even after working all day i would come home and exercise. I looked and felt geat!

Then three weeks ago i started getting a bad earache which was accompanied by terrible headaches. my head felt like it was about to explode, there was so much pressure and i even lost some of my hearing. (Did you know that a side-effect of YASMIN is loss of hearing? CRAZY!!)

Anyways, the headaches made me feel so tired, which meant that i didn't feel like exercising. I have put on a few kilos and this has made me depressed. And i have no interst in sex at all! My poor Boyfriend!

I also get regular cramps in my stomach and legs, chest pains, heart pulputations and this terrible pain in my hips. I'm only 20 years old but feel like im 90! My periods are longer, heavier and i get really bad mood swings.

My best friend also started taking YASMIN the same time as me and has many days off due to migrains, vommitting and exhausion. She never felt this way before taking YASMIN.

I'm due to go into hospital tonight to have my ears darined of fluid and to have a cat-scan. I will find out if YASMIN is to blame for all my pain and if so i'm going off it immediatley! I think it's terrible that we all have to suffer like this. Doctors need to be more educated about the side-effects of B/C, especially pills like YASMIN. Arn't the side-effects of YASMIN
supposed to be rare and uncommon? It sounds like a high % of women have serious side-effects and that is dangerous.

Thanks for your stories!!

I was put on Levaquin for a severe infection in my leg. I was given 500 mg. once a day. Immediately after taking my first pill I became nauseous. On the second day I again became nauseous and dizzy. That night I was very restless and could not sleep. I thought I would adjust to the meds so I continued to take it. each day I continued to feel the same after taking my Medication. I started getting cramping after eating on day 5 and suffered Diarrehea with hard cramping. the symptoms continued each day. I revisited my Health Center and was put on 250 Mg. after explaining how I felt. I thought I would adjust as it was clearing the infection in my leg so well. On my second dose of the lesser dosage I experienced some additonal problems. Asfter eating dinner I started having SEVERE stomach pain. I suffered Diarrehea for several hours with the severe apin im my stomach along with nauseousness and had not slept normally since starting this Medication. Later that night I started having Bloody Stool and continued this for the rest of the night and into the next day. Needless to say I stopped the Medication immediately and was put on a bland diet and plenty of liquids. I have been off the Meds for 4 days now and am finally getting back to normal. I started sleeping normally again and the nauseousness and bloody stool have subsided. I was so scared to think a prescription could do this to you. I will never take this drug again and advise anyone that takes it and experiences any of the side effects to get off it immediatley. My experience with this drug has been a nightmare.
