Jaws symptoms and conditions

I've been on Advair for 12 years.I'm 27 years old and fed up with all this medications that doctors prescribe.We are so brainwashed into thinking that we misbehave if we don't see a doctor.Let me tell you what: The majority of the doctors, only know to prescribe medication.They get bonuses from the pharma industries every time they prescribe their "new discovered"medicine.
Advair is supposed to be preventive, what you don't know it's for how long.Exactly!!!.....'cause it's not meant to cure Asthma, it's meant to keep you hooked for the rest of your life.
My worse symptom is a very fast heart beating.I'm a martial artist and every time i exert a fast burst of energy(while i'm sparring for example), my heart goes into pumped up mode.It beats very, very fast and i have to stop because it hurts.Sometimes i keep going no matter what and feel like i'm exercising for two people.When i stop, i breath very deeply for 5 minutes and all of a sudden it stops and beats regularly.
It's not fun, and one more thing: I'm from Argentina and my mom sends me the medicine from there cause it's way cheaper, sometimes i run out(i procrastinate sometimes), i'm left off with no medicine for a few days and boy.....I'm a wreck.The time you stop you go right back to where you started.I've been researching about an alternative to this "S***".I'm afraid 'cause i don't want to feel discomfort with my lungs anymore, but i strongly believe that there should be a natural alternative to all this laboratory drugs and i'm on a mission to find it.

I was put on Yaz because of my severe PMS. After nine days I started getting very strong symptoms, many the very symptoms I started taking Yaz for in the first place. It was too early in the cycle to be the "regular" PMS. Many of the symptoms I listed below I get regularly but not as strongly, and they have not been remotely this bad for years. I stopped taking Yaz after freaking out for 48 hours. I was told to stay on them for at least 3 months, as a trial, and I was really motivated because I really suffer from my PMS - almost every month I feel like I get into a depression - but there is no chance in the world I will continue taking that pill.

I am a 57 year old male took lisinopril for about 6 month. Had to go to er with Angioedema. Lips, jaws, and mouth swelling. The doctor in the er said that lisinopril did this to me and I should never take it again. It was supposed to lower my blood pressure.

After reading these posts I am more confused than before, because my experience is so far very different. I was diagnosed with DVT about two weeks ago and now take Coumadin daily; the Lovenox injections have been discontinued. The reason I'm so confused is I now feel the best I have in 5 (five) years.

Before being placed on the anti-coagulants I had memory and concentration issues that were progressively getting worse and greatly affecting my job, and had daily headaches. I had joint pain that made it difficult to get up after sitting for awhile; they felt constantly inflamed. I felt fatigued all the time and my muscles hurt like I had really pushed them; I just didn't have any strength, and had muscle cramps. I was constantly yawning and found my jaws hurt from clinching my teeth, subconsciously trying not to yawn. I was extremely sensitive to physical touch, even hugs hurt. I also felt extremely depressed and cried almost daily. My lips and left cheek tingled, as well as other parts of my body. Plus I would get the feeling of sudden pressure in my head (different from a headache) like it was going to pop off, and I my eyes didn't seem to track what I looking at and had difficulty in remembering or comprehending what I just read.

About 6 (six) days after starting treatment it completely changed and these symptoms are essentially gone. I have talked with my doctor and pharmacist and they are baffled. I am concerned this change, while welcomed, may indicate an underlying condition that is not yet diagnosed. Has anyone ever heard of such an impact from starting Coumadin treatment?

HI. Today is my 5th day to take generic wellbutrin 150mg for depression. I havent had any problem - just noticed I have not been hungry. Today I was fine, ran an errand and while I was driving my throat felt strained/tightening - not like in not being able to breathe but just a tight feeling and I felt dizzy...I ran in to store and grabbed what I needed...then sat in car for a few minutes before getting back on road...my distance home was about a mile and half...i had to pull over one time because I felt this sensation I do not know how to describe - kind of dizzy/kind of panic attack feeling. Do these side effects go away? Is this typical? Have now that I think of it kind of felt like my jaws tighten at times like grinding....

My son is 5 years old and has been on several different Medications for ADHD he is talking Vyvanse 50 mg for the last 9 mouths. I;m fixing to take him off of all of it because the side effects are worse then the ADHD.. He is cranky, no appetite, sad, and very bad facial tics.. He pops his jaws all the time and clears his throat every 5 seconds this is just crazy and I cant take it anymore... My poor baby... I just cant do this to him anymore. I'm going all natural.. and changing his diet..

My 5 1/2 year old son began taking 4mg Singulair in the p.m. and an inhaler (asmanex) in the a.m. We were still having trouble controlling the asthma and his Sing dose was raised to 5mg. & within 1 week of the increase he began having terrible facial tics and aggravated behavior (defiant, poor listening, easily frustrated and angered) The tics were in the form of opening and closing his mouth, as if you were trying to clear your clogged ears after a plane flight. This caused him much pain in his jaws and facial muscles, so he would tic and then cry as he was in pain. This ramped up his anxiety and it made the ticking worse. He has been off of all asthma medication (cold turkey) for 5 full days. He has episodes where the tics happen for 10 min -1/2 hr, other times during the day it is one here and one there. He does not want to leave the house to do anything, even his favorite activities. Thank god I found this site (and others like it), as I got some answers and some hope. We went to see my cousin this week who is a neurologist and he never heard of the correlation of Singulair and neurologic side effects like these. He said that (hopefully) the medication side effects will cycle through and resolve the ticking and behavioral changes. If not we are probably looking at a Tic Disorder which is in the Tourettes Family.He put my son on a very low dose of Klonopin to mellow out his anxiety and help reduce the tics, but has only been on it for 1 1/2 days and it usually takes a wk or 2 for full absorption and results.I have since sent him and my pediatrician and allergist links to this site and others. I think that I see some improvement in my son, yesterday I thought he did better and my husband thought it was a worse day, I think we have totally lost our perspective and objectivity on this. If anyone out there has a time frame on when they saw significant recovery and positive changes I would love to hear from you. This is a total nightmare and if it is this drug, someone is going to pay. My prayers go out to all who are going thru this.

I completed the cycle of taking this drug. The next day I started to itch all over the body, followed by numbness in my jaws, pain in all joints of the body, chest pain, back pain and cramps in my leg. Lack of sleep due to itching. I continue to have this and it has been nearly two weeks. The doctor has advised me to take Advil (200mg) three tablets three times a day and to take a Benadryl at night time. I started this yesterday and it gave me some relief continue to see when I will be fit again. I recommend that this drug should be banned.

Has anyone developed tartive dyskenisia. It is involuntary body movements. Mine are in the mouth, like I am sucking on my teeth . It is very disturbing and listed as one of the side effects. It can occur in other parts of the body, like tapping.

I am a 43 year old female who, until I found this site, thought I was dying of bone cancer - I am not even kidding. I just finished the last of my 10 day prescription for Avelox (for bronchitis and sinusitis). And I feel like I have been beaten about the head and body. Honestly, every part of my body aches and I can barely walk. I have absolutely no energy; throbbing and shooting pains up and down my arms and legs. Not to mention sharp pains in my chest area periodically. I have very clouded and unclear thinking abilities; and my neck and head hurt so bad not even an 800 mg ibuprofen helps. Oh and let's not forget the chills which are right down to the bone - I cannot get warm and I have yucky night sweats to boot. I would most certainly be interested in a class action lawsuit. I really hate that I took 10 days worth and wonder when I will start feeling better. PLEASE DO NOT TAKE AVELOX - it is not worth the painful side effects! The prescription flyer I received with the medication did not mention any of the side effects I encountered.

I was giving Levaguin for a sinus infection/upper resp. infecton poss.
brincittis. after taking this medicaton for 5 days I began to realize the side effects this drug was giving me. I was feeling funny all over like I was in a fog or sometimes I felt like I could not carry on a confersation. My legs did not hurt but they felt very heavy likeI had weights strapped to them and sometimes my arms would feel this way to. I started having tightness in my jaws shortness of breath and rapid heart rate also my b/p was up this was certainly not normal for me. I also had some nausea and headaches I became scared of all these things that were happening to me so my husband took me to the E.R. I thought I was having a stoke or something bad was wrong with me after seeing the E.R Dr. He could not really tell what was wrong all the test I was giving were normal THANK GOD! However the Dr. did sat it was a poss. side effect of the medicaton I was taken (Levaquin) like everyone else I was just passing these symptoms off as me just being sick but after looking up this drug I have come to realize this was my problem and I only pray to GOD that this gets better and is not long term effect. I do not reccomend anyone to take this medication.

Hi I was on Reglan for over six years for IBS and nausea.My GI never mentioned any side effects from use of the medicine.I have a c-spine injury that has caused some neuropathy. I never thought that symptoms that I have like extreme restlessness,shaking of my hands,feet and toes,sucking my tongue,my mouth puckers,my lips shake,my jaws tighten up,I now have a facial tic.I never even considered that taking the Reglan for so long could have caused these side effects until I was recently taken off of the medicine by my GI.He said that long term use could cause undesirable side effects like a facial tic.(Now he mentions side effects after over six years!) I then came home and looked it up on my computer and found all of these sights! I really need to get to a Neurologist one that specializes in movement disorders.If I had known of all of the side effects before taking the Reglan I could have prevented my Tardive Dyskinesia today!! My advice is always check the side effects of any medication before taking it.If only I would have I could have prevented so much long term damage! Pharmacy Companies should have better guidelines for testing their drugs before being allowed to have the drug on the market.We must send a clear message that as the public we demand better practices from our FDA.

I was on Lisinopril for 4 months. I had some coughing, the gag reflex, and a general feeling of malaise. My depression was bad at times and I imagined myself committing suicide more than once. I also began to grind my teeth at night. I have been off of the poison for 8 days and all side effects have subsided except for the teeth grinding. My teeth and jaws ache all the time. I had never experienced that problem before. I too went to the ER in the middle of the night about 2 months ago because I was sure I was having a heart attack or stroke. I finally made an appointment with a therapist 3 weeks ago to deal with the depression. She told me about Lisinopril side effects and I quit taking it. I owe her my life. I feel re-born. I am so happy to be alive!!!!

I'm so glad I found this site! I took ZOCOR for 2 weeks. In that time I experienced severe muscle fatigue in my arms, back, and neck. My jaws even hurt while chewing food. I also experienced blurred vision, tingling feet & hands. I have been off the ZOCOR for 1 week, but honestly the symptoms have not really gotten better. In fact, I would almost say they have gotten worse. I was put on a ZOCOR due to a slightly elevated cholesterol level, & family history of cholesterol/heart problems. However, I would much rather have the elevated level than these unbearable symptoms. I am 37 years old and felt fine before the medication, but now feel like a 60 year old. I am exhausted ALL the time, and simple tasks tire me out.

I take 5 mcg of cytomel a day. I have symptons like "hayfever". Sneezing,runny nose, sinus drainage, my eyes are sometimes itchy,burning, watery. The glands around my neck swell a little, my jaws hurt, and the inside of my ears itch. The PA in my doctors office said to contiue to try and take it for 2 weeks to see if the symptons ease off. I have started taking cytomel 3 different times and stopped because of the above symptons. I just can't see being this miserable for 2 weeks. I also take 150 mcg of syntroid once a day. I had diagnosed with graves disease in 1994 they gave me radiactive iodine to stop my thyroid from functioning.

I have been taking Singulair since January 2003. It really helped my exercise induced asthma. In the summer of 2004, I had a tooth pulled and a bridge put in. My teeth and jaws started hurting and the dentist couldn't figure out any reason why they were. In the summer of 2005, while still on the Singulair, my left arm and neck started hurting leading me to believe I may be having heart problems. I had my heart checked out, and everything looked good. Last summer, still taking Singulair, I began having trouble swallowing pills. I finally stopped taking the Singulair the first of October 2006, and my teeth and jaws quit hurting; my left arm and neck quit hurting; and I don't have any trouble swallowing pills. I did get a nasty head cold a couple of months after stopping the Singulair and another one a couple of months later. I am wondering if those head colds may be associated with the Singulair as it has been many years since I have had a head cold.

My 70 year old mother starting taking Fosamax a few weeks ago because her bone density test showed she had osteoporosis. She became quite ill soon afterwards, said she had the worst headache of her life, couldn't eat, had nausea, severe head pain, and dizziness. She was in bed for a week. Her doc said maybe it was a swollen temporal artery (huh?), and put her on strong pain meds, which she said didn't even touch the pain. After reading the other comments on this website, I called her and told her to not take another dose. Merck is being sued over this drug. How many women have to suffer horrific side effects, including loss of their jaws, before they pull this crap off the market?? It's all about maximizing their profits, folks, and those pharmaceutical companies will ruin your health with their poisons to make a buck.

I've been taking Sulfameth/Trimeth DS 800/160 for about 9 days for a kidney infection. For the past 3 days my throat has been bothering me. It feels like I have tonsilitis (which I get a lot), but I don't see how I could since this is an anti-biotic. My throat is burning it feels swollen, dry, scratchy and my voice has been going out. My jaws are getting sore too, like I've been clenching them or something.

I had surgery for carpal tunnel that did not work. The doctor gave me injections of kenalog in both wrists. Since then I have been in pain 24/7. Pain goes from hands radiating up my arms and jaws. The doctors say they have never heard of any of these symptoms after shots of kenalog. I was never warned or given possible side effects. In his record he wrote that I was counciled as to side effects. NOT! I really don't know what to do. I don't want antone else to have this done to them. I am considering an attorney at this point. I have been ruined. Anyone know a good attorney in south Georgia?

Within six weeks of beginning Advair I was diagnosed with a yeast infection in my mouth and throat. My headaches are severe and cannot be controlled with drugs that formerly worked. An ENT I consulted said that symptoms for which Advair is prescribed are more often caused by severe indigestion, even when one doesn't feel the effects of indigestion. I have read this elsewhere. Does anyone else know anything about this? How about any tension side effects? I don't think I've unclenched my jaws for the last month. Is this drug really a good idea?

my jaws and face are swollen big! and I am hurting where the swelling is.!!!
