Intervals symptoms and conditions

I was prescribe SMZ-TMP 800-160 DS 3 days ago on July 2nd for an infected hair follicle in my right armpit. I took the first does that evening and not long after felt really nauseated, almost like I had the flu. I consulted the page they always give you with prescriptions and it said that nausea was a side effect and that should go away after a couple of days. Well the next morning when I woke up I had no appetite and still felt a little nauseated but not as bad as the night before. I did take the 2nd dose and by mid morning the nausea was getting worse and by early afternoon I was developing a fever. Took a couple of Tylenol and toughed it out through the rest of the day at the office. When I got home I took my temp and found it to 101.3, took some Tylenol and called my pharmacists and he indicated that temp and nausea were really nothing to worry about. Felling a little reassured but still like I had the flu I took the 3rd does and about an hour after I took I started to feel the worse yet. I checked my temp again and found it had climbed to above 102 and for some strange reason my tongue would go numb for short intervals, almost like it had been shot full of novocain. I got absolutely no sleep that night, and given that the info sheet said to notify your doctor right away of you develop a persistent fever that next morning, July 4th, I called the office number and got the answering service and they had the doctor paged and when he finally called me back he was quite concerned over my reaction to this medicine and said I had to be seen by someone today because of the persistent fever. Being that it was the 4th of July the only option was the ER so off I went. They ran a few tests and found that yes I was having an adverse reaction to this evil medicine but I should be fine in a couple days. It is now July 5th, more then 36 hours since I took the last does, and the nausea is finally gone and my appetite is slowly coming back, but I still have a fever but it is slowly coming down as well or maybe the Tylenol is finally working, either way I hope by the end of the weekend to be feeling better.

after getting my period at normal intervals for the first five months after i quit taking Yasmin, i stopped getting it. has anyone else had this reaction? it's now been three months since i last got it, and in addition i've been experiencing cramps and bloating almost constantly for the past month as though i were about to get my period (though so far i haven't). plus I'm thirsty all the time. does this sound familiar to anyone?

I would be interested to know how many of those who took Singulair needed to take antibiotics more frequently than they did before they took Singulair. I'll see the response then I will tell you why if it turns out that is a predictable side effect.

I have been taking Lyrica for 2 monthes, and now I.am prescribed Ultram ER 200 mg one time per day. I have had 3 nights of complete insomnia. Of the last night, I was up vomiting and felt terrible. I am not sure if any one else has had this same interaction, but I would be curious to know. The Lyrica dosage is only for 150 mg per day, split in balanced intervals. I really cannot deal with the pain, but I cannot be experiencing insomnia and vomiting.Please help!

This was given to me for a periodontal (tooth/gum) infection. I've never taken this antibiotic before. Beside the normal (antibiotic) stomach upset and diarrhea, it was as if I was taking sleeping pills every 6 hours and generally felt like I'd been dragged behind a horse. 5 days into the medication, I started seeing flashing "crescent" lights in my vision. Needless to say, that was disturbing. It lasted for about 20 minutes before the "flashing" slowly moved to the left of my vision and then disappeared. That was a day ago and I only have 2 pills left which I will now take at 12 hour intervals. I've taken antibiotics over the years and never experienced this type of reaction. Needless to say, I will not take this particular medication again.... For the record, I'm a 62 year old Male.

I have been on Levothyroxene for 14 months now. I have been experiencing nightmares, a "butterfly" feeling between my chest and stomach, itchy skin, dizziness, and am still fatigued. My dose is 50mcg. once a day. that was upped from 25 mcg. a day as my TSH level was not within the normal range. Sometimes I feel like I'm feeling WORSE after being put on Levothyroxene. I also am still gaining weight and am constantly bloated, having bouts of diarrhea, and my blood pressure won't stay regulated. I am currently recuperating from a bad cold and the cough is hanging on. My other meds I take are Atenolol-12.5 mg. once a day and Xanax-.25 mg. two to three times a day. Is there an interaction between all these meds(I take them at different intervals thruout the day to avoid interactions)?

Was prescribed 750 mg pills of Levaquin for bronchial infection (am also asthmatic). After first pill, had very intense headache - I took 2 Advil Migraine pills and couldn't get any relief. Had quickly and dramatic shifts of temperature being hot and cold, was dizzy, disoriented, confused, couldn't see clearly, eyes hurt. The strangest side effect is that I felt like I needed sugar. If I drank some fruit juice or ate something sweet, I felt a little better. Sleeping overall was impossible - I was wide awake and exhausted - only feel asleep for short intervals of time totally about 2-3 hours a night. I generally felt absolutely miserable on this medication and quite frankly, it wasn't making my bronchitis any better. I gave up on it finally after 4 days and called my doctor. I was then prescribed 400 mg Avelox which I am taking now. I can tell you that after just one pill of Avelox, I feel better than I did yesterday and I do not have any horrible side effects.

57 years old healthy white male. Exercise 6 or 7 times per week, excellent diet, lots of neutricuticals. I gt occasional (once per month) bouts of lone atrial fib, requiring 2 to 3 doses of rythmol to regain sinus rythmn. I use metoprolol when I sense an impending atrial arythmn, usually once or twice a week. My only side effect is an inability to exercise strenuously while on the drug - just can't obtain a high enough heart rate.

I am attempting to electrically reprogram my sympathetic nervous system. I am using rythmol and metoprolol proactively before an attack, soon as I feel one coming on. I have extended the intervals between episodes to about 5 weeks with this method. I would appreciate input from anyone with similar symptoms.

I went on geodon for the first and only night last night. I took 80mg at 11pm and went to sleep. Woke up at 2 and intervals after that with a hot sweat, tremors, RACING thoughts and extreme restlessness. Tried to get up and take a xanax and passed out on the floor. crawled back to best essentially and slept for a few more minutes before being awaken over and over again. Got up finally and almost passed out every time i tried to stand for more than 10-15 seconds. Finally layed down then went to ER ar 11am. Could sit up at that point in smallfragments. Left doctors office and could finally walk. At 11pm still feel symptoms. WILL NEVER TAKE THIS DRUG AGAIN.

Insomnia, skin rashes and intense itching, but much less pain and stiffness of Fibromyalgia CFSm possibly Lyme Disease. Took 20 mg. twice daily for eight days. I, too, would like to know if one can take in intervals depending how long he relief lasts.

I am on 75 mg for migraines. I've been going up by 25mg intervals and my doctor plans to keep increasing. I have tingling in my fingers that's getting kind of annoying. Does anyone know if that goes away with time?

I have been taking Elmiron for just over a month. I was told to 100mg 3 times a day at 8 hour intervals on an empty stomach. Nearly impossible, but am taking it 3 times at 6 - 7 hour intervals. Have just started experiencing black bowel movements and a feeling of acid indigestion. I too am concerned about taking this for the rest of my life - I'm 50 and don't like having to take ANY medication...but, this beats the awful symptoms of IC.
I suffer migraines, but no problems in that department yet with the Elmiron. Would like to not worry about having to take it on an empty stomach.

Hi All, three weeks after starting Lisinopril 20mg. I started having productive cough at night, after 4 months of this 'only side effect symptom' I went into Doc and got switched to DIOVAN. I used to run 3 miles, but after coughing every night, with wake-ups at 2 hour intervals coughing, I am too bushed to run. Hopefully the new B/P med will work. Never had a cough like this, don't smoke, 49yrs., RN Type-A person. The Lisinopril and HCTZ did work, but not worth the coughing for me.
A little down with sex drive, but mood lighting, candles, and eager partner helped!
(doc also did pulmonary function test, and xray, all normal range)

I took this medicine for about 1 week before I started getting these horrible chest pains. They would sweep around my chest from my back and then stop under my sternum and kind of pinch. They would happen in intervals of 1 min to 15 seconds. They reminded me of very initial labor pains but definitely in the wrong location. Nausea, also a problem. Who knows what else is attributed to this medicine since I came down with a horrible cold as soon as I started it. I am glad to know that there seems to be common problems with the medication and not as horrible as it seems.

I have had 3 shots at 6 month intervals and the last was probably about a year ago. My doctor and nurse did not inform me of any side effects.

My hayfever remained and I developed a rough patch of skin on top of right buttock which developed into a dent. The skin inside the dent which is about 3 thumbsizes wide and deep is uneven and looks celulittey it is often a purpley colour. I was sent to see a specialist dermatologist at hospital who proceeded to do a biopspy. Still no mention of kenalogue... The biopsy was inconclusive and they decided I may have morphoea which they treated me for - unsuccessfully.

I recently saw a specialist for my hayfever who found out about my kenalog jabs and warned me off it saying it was dangerous for muscles. I put 2 and 2 together saw this site and realise now that all I have been mistreated for morphoea, put through a biopsy and all for nothing. Kenalog has caused my indentation.

I am angry and considering legal action - they have wasted my time for the last year of not knowing and being mis treated and more importantly why are we not told that this drug poses such unpleasant side effects. I would never have had it done if I'd known!!!!

Our doctors did not give us all the information about this drug so we could make an informed choice! We are victims of thier neglect!

I'm only on day 5 of my Yasmin and I've been sick/nauseous every day. My face has broken out, especially around the jaw line, I have tightness in my chest, heart fluttering at different intervals, trouble breathing. I'm going to stop taking these today, it's not worth it.
