List of drugs symptoms and conditions

Oh did i forget to mention my mobility has even helped with my sex life, im actually feeling much better and my sex drive has come back, which my husband is estatic over, im not having night-mares but i dream longer and sleep longer than before..i use to wake up several times a night..before the lyrica, i take it with xxnax and night i sleep great! I have experience a little tighting in the chest it could be the meds or heartburn i will mention it to my doctor within the next week when i see him but it really has helped otherwise a lot!!

49 year old male started 4 years ago at 20mg and 10mg HCTZ. some results in lowering BP. 2 years ago MD upped it to 40mg because BP inching up. quit smoking 3 years ago, not one puff since. After MD upped mg the side affects have really kicked in. I experience all the side effects listed on this site with the exception of the cough which I started with but went away after a couple months. I have had stress tests, Holter monitor for heart arrhythmias, mri, blood work, stool samples, colonoscopy, and all sorts of other tests all coming saying I'm ok, yet I don't feel ok, I get progressively worse. After 4 weeks of 5 day a week exercising with weights and aerobics to get in shape to return to racquetball I have had it. I couldn't last 45 minutes my second day out. I felt like I was hit by a truck and it took a couple days to recover.
My MD attributes the issues to aging. I going for a second opinion and third if necessary. I am told by my MD that there are no studies showing these side affects for this medications. However I look at this web site and find it hard to believe that these doctors just haven't seen any evidence of what we are all suffering from. Why don't doctors really listen to patients. We are asked to listen to our own bodies and told we know our bodies better than anyone, yet when we bring up these issues we are treated like children.
No real answers, just questions

I have been taking Lotrel 5/10 for a while now. I don't really remember how long because I have symptoms of Alzheimer's. But I also take about 15 others meds. It did lower my blood pressure. A couple of months ago my chest started hurting so bad my wife took me to the emergency room. I spent 3 days in the hospital with numerous tests to find out my heart is fine. I am still exhausted all the time, I have noticed when I stand up for a while my legs and feet turn purple in large spots. If I stand up from being bent over I get dizzy, chest and throat tighten, and I feel like my shoulders and arms get very heavy. I can't really do any activity, even walking out to the mailbox is hard. It finally came to me that it is probably the Lotrel. My wife called my doctor today but he hasn't called back yet. Has anybody quit cold turkey? I don't want any more of this.
Has anybody had these sort of effects and been switched to something with less side effects? Let me know please.

I was prescribed avelox for mastitis and a UTI. I was fine until after the 3rd dose, I had MAJOR anxiety attacks that would start from my head down through my legs, like a tingling sensation. I felt as if I was going to fall over or faint. I then had tremors or the shakes. Doc said to continue the med after telling him how I was feeling. I then couldn't take the symptoms and went to the ER and they said the same thing, continue taking it. Now my gut feeling was to not take it, but I had a bacterial infection and didn't want that to get out of control, so I took the 4th dose. The next morning, it was the same thing all over again, tingling/dizziness from my head that would run through my whole body, and the shakes again. I went back to the doc and they told me it was safe to stop taking it. It has been 3 days since I stopped taking it and I still feel terrible. Very tired, my head just does not feel right. I hope with each day that it gets better. What a nasty drug this is and For anyone that reads this, please take this warning seriously, you do not want to feel like this. Oh, one more side effect, I had the tight chest also.

My husband and I started taking SMZ-TMP 3 days ago. We stopped taking drug. We both threw up and had diarrhea for about 2 days. We have whole body weakness and sore muscles. I am glad we recognized these symptoms as side effects rather than the sickness we had originally. I will add this drug to the list of drugs that both of us cannot take.

Ehemm, haha. umm I started taking Zoloft exactly a week ago. so 7 days. umm it has been fin so far. I think i have been a little happier. oh I have OCD, Depression, and Anxiety disorders, nervousness etc. I am 16..17 this year in September. everything has been fine but, the first like 4 days when I would lie down I started tripping out..it wasn't bad like or scary!! It was real cool! ahha. everything was like molding and moving into one! ahha. anyway. I was also wondering about what happens if you snort Zoloft. I have a few lines in front of me. although I did see one thing of a guy who I assume, has snorted it because there was a question"what happens if you snort Zoloft"..Answer.. don't do it, no good ..makes you feel crappy, etc"..

I had been feeling like I was getting a slight head cold for several days and then on a Thursday I decided to go to an Immediate Care Facility because I felt like it was turning into Bronchitis. I am a fast healer and respond to antibiotics well as a general rule. Well, this time was an exception, I was given a prescription for Levaquin 750 mg to take one a day for 7 days. I was given a coupon for $25 off on the RX and it still cost me $130 for 7 pills. Within one hour after taking the first pill my wife and I knew I was in trouble. She rushed me to the emergency room. My oxygen level was 82, my heart rate was 140, my temperature was higher than it had been before taking the drug. Thanks to my wifes quick thinking and insistance I did not die that night. A nurse friend said she is 100% sure that if I had not been prescribed Prednisone along with the Levaquin that my reaction would have been much worse. Probably the Prednisone buffered the reaction.
I spent 3 days in the hospital. My recovery from Bronchitis was slowed down by this reaction. Then I got an eye infection and am still seeing an eye dr. for that. I have missed 2 1/2 weeks of work. Levaquin is on my list of drugs to never take again. Bob

After taking amoxicillin I noticed that i always had nasusea no matter what time of the day it was or when i took the pill. Out of the blew I would just feel like throwing up.

I began taking Yasmin 4 years ago, about 7 months after I had my first baby. My ob-gyn suggested Yasmin because of it's ability to prevent water weight gain, and since I had just gained 10 pounds postpartum with Depo-Provera (very scary drugi ndeed!!), I agreed to try Yasmin. I was 30 at the time and had been on BCPs since I was 18, so I didn't think Yasmin would be any different. (Wrong!) Because I was a new mom, I attributed my negative side effects (lethargy, awakening to go pee every night, dark circles under my eyes that prompted people to ask me if I felt ok all the time because I looked worn out, depression, not feeling at all like my normal self, waist/hips/thigh size expanded, hair trigger temper, or crying easily, feeling as though I was in a dazed state or sometimes about to explode, increase in blood pressure, massive hair loss during showering, increased thirst, and problems with severe incapacitating diarrhea along with a resulting weight loss of 10 pounds in less than 2 days, and or vomiting periodically, low potassium levels for which I was prescribed potassium supplements, and anxiety) to motherhood. Unfortunately, I could not find any info on these side effects until recently, so I thought I would just have to live with my problems and hope I would get better. Then, I saw on a website that Yasmin was on a list of drugs that should be banned by the FDA, and I searched for negative side effects, and found this website. That day in March 2006 I threw out my remaining pack of Yasmin, and I'm happy to report 3 months later that I am feeling so much better! I now sleep through the night, my blood pressure has returned to normal. I am anxiety-free. My vomiting /diarrhea has resolved much in part to daily yogurt consumption. But the best part is that I'm no longer angry (bitchy) at everyone and everything and I don't cry like a pregnant woman would. I can concentrate and I don't have spaced out feelings. My hair loss has returned to normal. I recognize the person looking out from a mirror as me now. Last but not least, I have lost 3 inches so far from my waist and 3 pounds of weight. Yay! What is truly scary about this drug is how it effects the kidneys and adrenal glands in a negative manner. I do hope I haven't done any irreversible damage to my organs. Yasmin is toxic and should be banned by the FDA. As someone who works in a medical laboratory setting, I wonder how the drug was approved in the first place. I guess as usual, women don't get the repect of the pharma industry. We have to fight for our rights for safe birth control methods. I am currently using the PG/53 fertility tester as my birth control and so far have been pleased with it. Thanks for allowing me to share my story!

Do not take this medication! I ended up in the ER with a bad rash, swollen joints , hands, dizziness, insominia, vomiting, elevated blood pressure, and swollen tongue. These side effects took three days to totally manisfest. I discontinued the meds myself . Took benedryl to offset the itching.
It is now on my list of drugs NOT TO EVER TAKE AGAIN!
