Nausea and dizziness symptoms and conditions

I was prescribed Yaz to treat a hormonal imbalance.testosterone too high. the first day i expected the nausea and dizziness, so i took it at night. the next day i took it earlier 8pm and went to bed. i woke up at 930 am the next day because my daughter literally rolled me over to wake up and poked at me for a while she said i looked if i was dead. i went to work and was groggy the whole day, felt my tongue heavy and had several dizzy spells. It was scary.... i read in the booklets and did not find drowsiness as a common side effect but when I googled it I was surprised i was not the only one to experience drowsiness...

I suffered a Pulmonary Embolism December of 2005. Following, I found out that I have Factor 5 (later we found out that all my siblings have it as well as my father). I have been on Warfarin since. I have been told by a few doctors that I will be on it for life. I have also been told by other doctors that I should have had filters put in my lungs so that I don't need the Warfarin anymore. Prolonged use of Warfarin is terrible for you, they say. At the time I started taking Warfarin, I was 39 years old. After 6 months of use I began to loose my hair as well as the curls diminished. I also developed discoloration on my upper lip, face and forehead. 8 months later I was told that I was pre-menopausal...my hormones were changing....night sweats, dizziness, nausea, severe abdominal pain, digestive problems, bowel problems, severe weight gain. They then told me that I had Vertigo and that they were not sure why it began. I am now suffering severe memory problems. When watching a movie, if a commercial comes on I forget what I am watching. I can't read without nausea and dizziness. I get headaches, terrible leg and arm pain. My concentration is very poor. I can't remember what happened the previous day or who my customers are. I don't know what to do. If I stop taking it I will run the risk of another horrible embolism (20% survival rate). My children, 12 and 15, have already lost their father to cancer. They are very concerned of loosing their mother.

I love the fact that Zyrtec works wonders for my allergies, but not how it makes me feel. It effects everyone differently that is for sure.
I have been severe with my mood swings and soooooo tired even if I have taken it at night. I can't recall any weight gain over the past year because I have been on a diet. I have had the heart flutters, nausea and dizziness. The worst I can say though is the aggressive behavior, very easy to snap and crazy thoughts. This is not good when you are a stay at home mom with a 3 year old and 1 year old. I have recently taken myself off of it and feel happier and so do my kids. If you or someone you know has to take it please take notice if any of these side effect occur and switch meds. It affects not only you, but the ones you love around you.
I would rather sneeze.
As for withdrawals; I get severe headaches, sleeplessness, and itchy.

I was diagnosed with the sexually transmitted disease chlamydia.on 6/18/08 the doctor prescribed doxcycl hyc100mg two times daily for 7 days for me and by 6/21/08 I felt miserable and very itchy and red in the vagina and by then I knew it had to be a yeast infection. This was a good drug that worked for me but I wish the doctor would have told me one of the side effects was a yeast infection. I also did take it once on an empty stomach and also felt nausea and dizziness, some diarrhea, and a little stomach pain but when I felt it coming on I ate something immediately. I would advise this drug but take precautions and when taking it.

HEY!! WOW!!! THANK YOU LORD! I thank everyone for posting! I have been taking Lisinopril for 2 days and just after two days I noticed the following, YES TWO (2) DAYS!:

Extreme Dizziness
Lightheaded
Increased Heart Rate
Awful Headache

At first I thought these were PMS symptoms but I have become great at combating these with exercises and fruit - as soon as I get my heart rate up and build a sweat and eat some fruit, I am fine. BUT I tried this the other day and I felt so groggy and fatigued. And I am a stickler for not taking medications, even OTC Pain Relievers, I believe in "Au Natural"... anyway I went to the park and walking up a simple hill, I felt like my heart was going to jump out of my chest. Then the headache seem to have gotten worse as well as the nausea. For breakfast I had a Kale Smoothie (OJ, Kale, Pear, Ice Blended) and didn't go for the walk until about an hour later. I consumed some water and started at a slow pace, but that didn't help. I also felt very tense and anxious and I thought WAIT A MINUTE! So I started to retrace my 'steps' of what I had eaten (Sunday Night: Red Beans w/ Brown Rice, Mashed Sweet Potatoes, and Turnip Greens) I said, okay nothing out of the ordinary there. Monday and Tuesday light meals such as a Falafel and Salad ... so I said let me read the side effects of this medicine and sure enough, the Nausea and Dizziness was on the printout from the pharmacy! I said okay this is it. I am not taking this stuff anymore, it's only been TWO FREAKING DAYS!! I'd hate if I take it longer. I am going to call my doctor to schedule an appointment to go over these symptoms, and opt for another prescription. In the interim, I am increasing my water intake and drinking prune juice as well as raw leafy veggies to help with the detox. And moderate walking to get my pores opened up. Thanks again and I appreciate all of your comments. Be prayerful and take good GOD care! LS, 28 year old black female

I have been on Femcon for a month now and I have been having the worst headaches... so now I know that it must be this pill! AHHHH...does it ever go away? I think I am going to keep trying it out for the rest of the month but if the headaches cont. I am done!

I have been on Doxy for about 6 months now to treat adult acne. It works brilliantly for my skin which is why I am hesitant about stopping it, if I do forget to take it for a day or two the oil and spots come back with a vengeance.
I discovered straight away to take it with food, taking it on an empty stomach caused nausea and dizziness, but I don't get this anymore.
The problem now is I find myself feeling more and more depressed, looking back Ive been flat for quite a while now. I seem to pick up every little bug going round and nothing makes me happy anymore.
I thought it was just me, but reading about it here, makes me wonder if its the Doxy??

I am a 34 year old male and was on Lipitor for 3 weeks. I had muscle cramps in my shins and the bottom of my feet. I was light headed, dizzy and suffered from nausea. I didn't have any energy or sex drive. I didn't attribute it to the Lipitor right away. I thought I had MS, ALS, muscular dystrophy, etc. I told my doctor about the symptoms and he told me to stop taking the Lipitor. I've been off of the Lipitor for almost two weeks now and the nausea and dizziness are gone. My energy is getting better each day, but I'm still not 100%. The muscles in the bottom of my feet and shins are also getting better but still not 100%. I take a bath every night just to get relief from the symptoms. My doctor has since told me to take CoQ10 to help battle the side effects of Lipitor. He doesn't know how long these side effects will last. Does anyone know how long I can expect these side effects to last? Are they permanent?

I will praise Lipitor for one thing - The side effects caused by it have scared me in to changing my diet and exercise regimen (when I return to being healthy) so I never have to take a drug of this type again.

New side effects and sufferings!!
I am at 4 mgs A Day now... In fact, I have been at 4 mgs a day for four days... (reducing by 1 mg every seven days)
I feel like I am (my brain) is dying/melting away slowly...by increments daily. It seems to get a little worse every day in fact. I dare not rest or sleep during the day. Every time I do, I wake up with complete brain fog! Actually, the brain fog comes and gets to me every morning by 9 am anyway and I feel like I'm losing my mind all morning until about 2pm when it starts clearing up a bit!!....Its scarey for me to go thru everyday here! What can I do? There's no one to help me!!??

I tried to split the dose I need to take (maybe three mg in the morning and 1 mg in the afternoon) and was unable to do so because of frightening heart palpitations, nausea and dizziness this morning. I thought I was dying because my body felt like it had been beaten with a meat tenderizer all night long . (flu-like symptoms~ I wanted to die and lay there, completely exhausted until I forced myself out of my bed.)
Every day its the same thing. A NIGHTMARE that I am unable to wake up from!!
I am fairly quiet all afternoon and then all evening long until about 11 pm. I Look and 'act' completely normal in spite of symptoms boiling barely under the surface. Then the 'hot-flashes' start around 11 pm. Then, By say 0330 am the chills and cold sweats join in with the hot flashes until about 0630 am. Around that time, my head feels like its expanding from the inside like a huge balloon thats going to pop....and I feel like I can't breathe....then the 'antsiness' begins and I feel like I am vibrating all over inside like a million ants are crawling all over just under my skin and skull! Then 'That Pacing Thing' and horrible Severe Brain Fog starts up and I am unable to sit or lay down! I *must walk/pace all over the house and/or outside....for hours and hours on end ~until about noon hour when I can calm down and the cycle starts all over again. THIS is what this damned Prednisone has done to me since it was prescribed Sept 14th 2007 !! There's no guarentee that this behavior pattern will stop once I am off the drug completely either!! I feel like I am getting sicker and sicker by the day here. Anyone else out there have anything even remotely like this ?? and then get better after they stopped the prednisone?? HELP! :o(

Just resently I have noticed that I am picking up pregnacy symptomes. I feel light headed, nausea, and dizziness. My breast have began leaking when I cleaning them, and they are very sore all the time. I did notice last week, I was crying uncontrollably for a long period of time for no reason at all. My body always seems bloated, and I feel like I'm gaining weight. I can say that because I have exercised and at healthier than I ever have. Oh my gosh, the night sweats are out of control not to mention gross. I have not had headaches, but have been feeling like I'm coming down with something. I also have not been able to get "in the mood". Which I am a newlywed, and that is just not working for me or my husband. Also, the discharge is almsot like it just gushes out. I think after this month I'm going to take it out. I want to feel like my normal self again.

Hello EveryOne out there...OK OK....

Now Why have I been out of touch since Sept 14th.... 2007???

I have been VERY VERY ill.....

Y'See, I went to see this new Doctor (Quack) for continued pain in my chest (sternum) area....that I have been having trouble with all Summer. (Severe Costochondritis/Fibromyalgia) By Sept 14th, this Quack who claims to be a Doctor had given me this prescription for Prednisone pills (20 mg each)....with orders to take mega doses of this toxic poison in order to combat the pain I was suffering. I was so desperate to get out of pain that I went ahead and filled the prescription and started taking the pills that eventful Friday night. I made the fatal mistake of trusting this Doctor!!!

If I had any sense God gave green apples I would have researched this a little before taking this medicine!! I would have run like all heck in the opposite direction!

I had been taking these reccomended large doses for approx two weeks back then per Doctor 'Quack's' order.... I have been hooked after the first week....and now currently desperately trying to get off of it with only marginal success!!

I have been on this Prednisone crap for some 49 days, currently and desperately trying to get off of it....with terrible side effects!! I have experienced every side effect known to the Devil himself and even discovered some new ones that I never knew was possible!? Case in point! I can't sleep night after night without terrible withdrawals all night long!!! I am forced to contend with them every night here. Not to mention I fight the withdrawals all days long too. I have this inept doctor and I am sorry I even went to him in the first place...!

The withdrawals I am now getting are harder to deal with than the original chest pain itself!!! Not to mention even eating the so-called 'wrong' foods sets off even more withdrawals almost immediately. I am now extremely sensitive to light and the sun~ not to mention.....noise....and stress....

I am much sicker from this Quack Doctor's so-called "HELP" than I ever was before....

I don't mind saying his name and trying to steer everyone away from this jerk Doctor here in Las Vegas who takes advantage of people in pain when they are desperate by feeding them toxic poisons and passing the poison off as something harmless thats gonna help them??? Just ask me who he is and I will tell you. I have no qualms about it....

Bottom line is I have spent this last month trying to get off this crap and I just found out that the withdrawals may bother me up to a YEAR after I take my last dose of this crap poison!! I have been going thru H***!!! A nightmare I would LOVE to pass onto this Quack who pretends to be a doctor!

I am down to about 7.5 mg per day now from about 180 mg that he gave me originally Sept 14 2007. Believe me this was not easy thing for me to do. I went "Toxic" on this drug weeks ago and it has affected my ability to process, think and reason properly. I feel like part of my mind is now missing or went on permanent vacation!! Dizziness,feeling like I'm gonna pass out, Brain Fog and Mass Confusion is the order for the day~depending on the time of day???

"The side effects of prednisone include adrenal suppression, which can occur with periods of prednisone use to surpass seven days. Adrenal suppression refers to the body’s inability to synthesize natural corticosteroids, resulting in a dependency on the prednisone taken by the patient. This is why doctors do not recommend the cessation of prednisone when the patient has taken it for longer than seven days. They reduce the dose gradually over a few days in the case of short-term prednisone use, and over weeks or months in the case of long-term treatment. Stopping prednisone treatment abruptly can cause the life-threatening Addison’s disease, in which in the body no longer produces sufficient amounts of adrenal steroid hormones"

I want to SUE this Doctor for making me this sick!!!!!

SDR

GRRRRRRRRRrrrrr!!!!!!!

-Unable to sleep
-Awful taste ALL THE TIME
-Nausea
-Dizziness
-Sensitivity to light, and sound
I have an upper respiratory infection, I'm unsure if the Nausea, and Dizziness have something to do with that, but I've taken this stuff before, not the 500Mg, and have never had the nausea, and restless night. My eyes are extremely sensitive, as well, after only 2 1/2 days

I just missed two days of apri due to some prescription issues, but when I went on it again I woke up the next day with nausea and dizziness. Could this be a related side effect?

Glad to find this site. My BP has always been high, but due to stress it has been 170/110 on Inderal 40mg, 3 times a day. My doctor put me on Lisinopril 10mg, my BP was same. He increased it to 20mg, and am having numbness and tingling in arms with nausea and dizziness. My BP is still the same...He increased it to 40mg., I am flushing it down the toilet after reading the comments. My mom was on it for years and finally realized the constant cough and uncontrolled hypertension, which lead to a pacemaker, was due to the Lisinopril.

This is one of the worst things I have ever taken. I took three doses for a skin infection and stopped. After taking the first one I felt extremely tired... then my limbs began to ache, I felt like my bones were replaced with lead and my head was spinning. Every time I tried to lay down and rest I was overcome with nausea and dizziness severely. I could not focus on anything or complete simple tasks without being fatigued and needing to rest. Later that night came the panic attacks or should I say a three hour long perpetual panic attack. I really thought I was going to die. Fortunatel(unfortunately) I had a few panic attacks back in college so I knew what I was experiencing was only a panic attack but it was one of the worst I've ever had.
I would not recommend anyone take this drug unless their lives literally depend on it, it's HORRIBLE.

I have only had it for a week and have had non-stop cramping, bleeding and bloating and back pain. I am hoping this all goes away. My biggest complaint was that the insertion was so horribly painful and I should not have driven myself home. The pain, nausea and dizziness was so severe. Doctors need to be WAY more up front about the initial pain and warn patients to have someone there to drive you home afterward.

I have been taking doxycycline for 2 weeks (Malaria prophylaxis) now and have noticed some unfortunate side effects this week. I normally work out and feel great. Last Tuesday and today I felt absolutely wretched after my work out - ESPECIALLY today! I felt like I was having a heart attack. It started out with a bit of nausea and dizziness, light-headedness set in and by the time I got home I was so ill and my arms and legs were tingling all over. I lay down for a while and started to feel better. I still don't feel quite like myself. I've also noticed some heartburn. I had been taking zantac and stopped a couple of days ago - so my guess is I hadn't noticed it before because of this.

I started taking Torpol 100 MCG the night of the day I ended in the ER for high blood pressure due to a too high a dose of my thyroid medicine. I have an underactive thyroid, and my med had been increased in the last month or 6 weeks before. It takes a few weeks for the full effect of a thyroid med increase to take place. I didn't realize what it was at first but was having bouts of nausea and dizziness.

Now I still get the racing heart. I went through all the stress tests at the cardio and they were all normal. On Toprol, I get the anxiety, some chest tightness, but sometimes my heart races. Maybe the dose needs to be adjusted.

I never had high BP before this. It was 175 in the hospital, and last night I took my thyroid med at 9. An hour later my heart was racing and I had anxiety and that almost numb feeling all over. By midnight I got up and took my BP. 189/89 Took my Toprol, even tho I wasn't due to take it til the next morning. It helped some, but woke again at 3 with the anxiety.

My cardio says my heart is fine and I'm not going to have a heart attack or anything. I'm not convinced! It's scary. I am hoping that once we get my thyroid med straight, my BP will return to normal. I'm seeing my primary doc this morning to test my TSH again - that's the hormone level of your thyroid.

A friend of mine's mom took Toprol and had all kinds of muscle and joint aches. She finally conviced her doc it was the Toprol, and when she went to another BP med, the aches went away.

At any rate, I think I want to get off of Toprol after all the nasty things I've read about it here.

Having taking CIPRO for years without any severe problems, I took Levaquin for a recurring lung infection. I did not experience any muscle aches but I have no appetite, nausea and dizziness. My urine is also too briight. After six days, I am going to discontinue it.

This is my first day of a 4mg. dose pack for what my doctor is callin an inner ear infection. I never had that much pain, just vertigo, nausea, and dizziness. I have taken 4 of the 6 pills and I am experiencing nausea. I probably didn't eat enough with my afternoon pill, but I will know better now.

I started Yasmin on Sunday and have had headaches, nausea and dizziness and a bit of a fever since I started the pill (I even had to miss a day of work on Monday). I think I'm going to call my gyno and see if I can switch to something else. I used to take Alesse and had no major problems with it except for lowered libido, but this pill I think is making me sick!

Lupron has been a terrifying experience for me. It was recommended as a last approach prior to a hysterectomy. I am 29 years old with two children. I have an incredible amount of scar tissue as a result of infections. I experience incredible hot flashes, confusion, extreme insomnia, joint pain, sharp pains in my back and abdomen, extreme vile nausea and dizziness. Vision issues, you name it. It was wonderful to see feedback from everyone to know that I am not alone. My doctor says that all of this is a figment of my imagination. The most terrifying of all is the fact that I cannot seem to think straight. I was an incredibly technical person before I started on the lupron injections (i'm on my 2nd and last 3 month shot), and I now feel like I've been reduced to nothing. I cannot manage to do things that would have been extremely simplistic before. Sometimes the cramping is so bad that I cannot move. I cannot wait until this is over.

Nausea and dizziness but it did stop the cough.

I was put on Paxil about 3 months ago and was recently switched to Paxil CR. Neither one has given me any bad side effects other than the ones I was told were common. One being a low sex drive, or when coming off the pill, having extreme sick feelings of nausea and dizziness. I would much rather deal with these side effects, than having the kind of attacks I would get before taking this drug. Eveyone should know that before taking ANY drugs, you should do research and make sure that you are willing to deal with the side effects that are listed...........otherwise you are wasting your time and your Doctors.
