Mouth wash symptoms and conditions

I took my 2nd Avelox pill at 10am this morning, by lunch time I felt very jittery and anxious, and had isolated tingling in my left hand and foot. Tonight I had severe abdominal pain and then the subsequent emptying of the bowels (ok, that's gross!). I am a healthy 39-year old woman who has never had any side effects from medication. This was prescribed for a sinus infection. Thank you all for your posts about your experience with this horrible stuff. I feel better knowing that I'm not going crazy. Unfortunately, because this is a once-a-day pill, this stuff is still in my system. For those of you who are posting on this site saying you've had no side effects and this medicine worked great, you probably work for Bayer in their PR department....if not and you really did not have any side effects, this site is for those of us who HAVE had side effects.

I took the drug for 2 days for a sinus infection. Midway thru the first day, I started to feel numbness 2 front teeth, palate, upper lip and nose. Thought it was the sinus. Took one more pill.

The shoulder and elbow pain was exacerbated by the pill as I already have tendinitis.

The sinus infection is gone, at least for now. I hope it doesn't come back to bite me!

I started taking Avelox 9 days ago. I was prescribed 14 days of Avelox after a round of Ceftin failed to clear up a sinus infection.
I am an avid tennis player, playing 3-5 times a week. My first bad experience happened yesterday when I went out to play and as soon as I walked outside I had a head to toe tingling feeling. This felt like I had chills but no goosebumps were showing. Over an hour or so later, the goosebumps showed up. This was in 90 degree heat!! I first thought it was dehydration, which it may have been, since I didn't seem to be able to get enough water/Gatorade no matter how much I would drink. This is even at night when I am not in the heat!!
I didn't take the medicine today. Played again this morning. I had the same tingling feeling head to toe, but no chills this time. To explain the tingling, I told a friend my skin felt like it was creepy crawly! It was a horrible feeling again in extreme heat!
I, also, have a hamstring that feels a lil tinge to it. I never have these problems and I am guessing this is due to the medicine, too.
If I walk outside, my body temperature feels like it shoots up! Even though I do not have a fever.
I went to my doctor's office and he is out of town! I asked to see another Dr. and he was "too busy to see me" since he was trying to get to the hospital! I was told to call my family Dr.which I did, only to be told he was also booked and I couldn't be seen. So, I gave up! And, not taking the medicine anymore!! Never again. This will be on my list of 'Allergic to.'
I usually have no side effects from medicines.

I have been on Arimidex for nearly four years. I have suffered with dry mouth, mouth ulcers and peeling and sore lips I have tried mouth wash lip balm but nothing seems to work the symptoms seem to be getting worse. I have spoken to my GP who just prescribes cream for the ulcers.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Would appreciate any remedies

I am a 52 year old women , except for a yearly resistant sinus infection I would describe myself as very healthy and have only minor aches and pains for my age. I was prescribed Levaquin by a walk- in physician after 2 months of a sinus infection. Within a week I felt 100 years old . I could barely get out of bed, the pain in all my joints was excruciating the first 5 minutes and didn't improve a lot during the day . I didn't think my legs would hold me upon rising from any position. After one week of finishing the drug I started to feel better.......it has been two weeks now.... I'm still sore and weak , especially noted in hands and legs .

hello, im 25 and was diagnosed with lupus nephritis 4 years ago, among other meds i was taking 60mg of pred for about 8 months with chemo for my damaged kidneys. in three years my dose went up and down between 60mg and 15mg. the side effects i had were at first extreme water retention, my skin was like play doe, swollen vulva, swollen leaky breasts, hamster cheeks, extra chin, i had extreme hunger cravings , wanted to eat every thing in sight but my husband helped me to maintain a proper diet and i did not gain any weight except for my face and breasts and water retention for around 5 months after diagnosis. i also had all the other effects like racing heart, chest pain , breathlessness, tiredness, excitement, bad mood swings. now after 5 years i have CAREFULLY weaned MYSELF down to 5mgs a days the moon face has gone down but i have the fatty deposit at the top of my back at my neck that happens with long term use, but only i can really notice it, i get nose bleeds cause skin is thin up my nose, i use glycolic moisturiser and have glycolic peels on my face to help with skin renewal keeping ageing at bay and also have factor 50 sunscreen on prescription, take zinc for my hair loss (prescription 220mgs) has helped a lot with hair loss, use pure glycerin on my body to keep the skin soft and less delicate( glycerin can be quite gloopy and stickes on the skin for a good hour before soaking in but does wonders and is in most mosturising creams, use mouth wash for gum desies to keep the bleeding at bay and keep the teeth strong, i buy probiotic yogurt dring and pills for digestive system to get rid of the gas bloating and constipation/diarrhea, take meds to prevent bone problems, drink a pint of full fat milk with some nesquick mixed in every day, i get bad headaches after eating sweet things sometimes that can last all day, i just live with them. don't take pain killers, they just go after ive slept
im constantly finding new ways to cope with the preds, and am now 3 and half months pregnant with my first baby, doc told me 4 days ago that he wants to start putting up my steroids to protect baby and me, so im panicking a bit about the moon man coming back, and hair loss has started again big time also cause of pregnancy. once ive had the baby im going to start back on my routine. perdnisolone is a nasty drug but also a life line for many people who cant get off it and need if for the foreseeable future until something can take its place, so im jus trying to stay 1 step ahead of the drug, the only thing i struggle with is exercise , starting to loose my memory more often, and eye sight is playing up, keep going cross eyed!!! gonna try that mangasteen stuff, worth a shot...
thanks for reading, sorry bout spelling.
love l.

I was on Lamictal for 4 years and after the first year I suddenly started having all kinds of teeth and gum problems for no discernible reason. But since Lamictal has the possible side effect of "sores or blisters on the inside of the mouth" I wondered if it could be related.

I did a Google search and am coming up with no experts yet, but lots and lots of posts connecting anticonvulsant meds, particularly Lamictal, Topamax, Neurontin, and Depakote, with dental problems. Dilantin is well known for causing gum disease and breaking down tooth enamel, loosening of teeth, and even breaking down of jawbone tissue.

I don't think the experts have connected the dots yet, but is anyone else having this problem?

Just finished a prednisone taper. I am developing 'oral thrush' - can someone please give me a suggestion for getting rid of it quickly without having to take more medication??? A mouthwash or something - please this is awful.

Thank you for your help.

I am a 37 yr old while female - I have been on Advair for about the last
5/6 years - I dont have any of the symtoms that everyone has stated
above - but I have something that nobody else has seemed to mention.
Before I started using Advair - I had perfect teeth - no cavitites no nothing.
After years of using Advair - I now have Tooth Enamel Loss on my bottom
front teeth - they are not decaying at all but the lower half of each tooth
has lost its tooth enamel and shows the yellowish Dentin layer. I use my
Advair 250/50 once a day and rinse my mouth with water as well as
mouth wash and brushing after each dose - but yet it is still destroyin
my teeth. I have contacted the maker of Advair in regards to this and get
no response what so ever - so should my next step be to contact a lawyer?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated

I'm 35 and I've have had mild asthma since I was about 10 year old. At times I've been able to go weeks without needing to take anything, then stress, envirnoment triggers etc fire it up. I started taking advair 100/50 a couple of years back, and right now my breathing feels just about the worst it ever has. Without the advair I feel an uncomfortable tightness that I've never had before, a whole lot worse that the wheezing. Over the past couple of years I've lacked energy, been a lot more anxious and I've been warned of potential heart issues. I have a very healthy lifestyle and I assumed I was just getting older and more fragile...after reading these posts I'm seeing a possible connection.
Like some other people have said I sometimes feel like something is stuck in my throat / top of my lungs, it almost feels like phlegm but I can't cough it up.
I've stopped the advair for 3 days as of today, so far the tightness is managable, and the rescue inhaler is at hand (although I haven't had to use it yet). I'm hoping I can get back to previous drug free times.

I was just diagnosed with Crohns 7 days ago. They started me on 125 mg of Prednisone for 2 days over IV and now 60 mg a day. So 20 mg 3 times daily. I'm severely tired but I think that is just from being in the hospital for 2 weeks and not being able to sleep and I am just now getting home. The main problem is after I started the steroid I have all this white stuff in my mouth. Like the plaque you get on your tongue but it is all over my tonsils, cheeks, back of my throat and my mouth feels really raw. I cant eat because everything burns. The GI siad to gargle with mouth wash but nothing is working. Is the thrush from the high dose of steroids? or because now I have no immune system so I have a yeast infection in my mouth??? Any help would be great. Has anyone notice rapid weight gain with in the first couple of days of being on th ehigh dose????

I am taking Biaxin XL 500mg for skin acne. The only side effects that I experienced that bothers me is the after tasted which from what I have read is pretty common. I mostly suck on hard candy or lollipops to take away the taste. If I can't do that I'll brush my teeth and use a natual mouth wash.. seems to work. My face is getting better it is not as imflammed as it was before. I do experience trouble in sleeping didn't think that could be one of the side effects but then again I am still young and maybe I just don't want to fall asleep yet other then that it's been ok. I noticed the after taste like 2 - 4 hours after I take the pills.. which is both at the same time.. I will just suck on candy and/or use a mouth wash seems to work if not eat a healthy meal it's tolerable..
