Neurological symptoms and conditions

So saintmorrowind STILL isn't old enough to actually have people 'respect' his 'opinion'. Afterall, he's been on it SO many years and he's still only 23. What did you come toa forum called "singulair side effects" if you weren't searching them yourself? HMMMmmmm.....Don't knock others, if it works for you - fine. Don't judge. What works for one person does not work for another.

My daughter is having neurological 'twitches' from singulair. for the rest of the forum of people who are actually interested in possible side effects, her twitches are coming from the withdrawl of the med. I first noticed it when I forgot to give it to her one saturday night - she got mouth twitches and her throat (uvula) was actually twitching for hours - it was really wierd. Never thought about singulair. It happened again weeks later and same thing. She complains that she can't sleep - has anxiety, feels 'jumpy' - and has very vivid and scary dreams. It's not like her - shes been on it a year - I'm taking her off it - we are weaning - but she is having the withdrawl effects - I pray that it doesnt stick around.

I had a Kenalog shot in May and my life has not been the same since. I went to a doctor for shoulder blade pain which he immediately diagnosed as muscular. I never believed it to be muscular pain, as the pain started while I was at rest. 4 days after the shot the pain started spreading downward into my kidneys and stomach. I couldn't eat due to extreme intestinal distress. I lost 16 lbs over the next few weeks. I later learned Kenalog can cause ulcers, plus I was on Ibuprofen (which the doctor never asked me) which can increase the risk of intestinal damage. It is over 2 months later and I can't tell you the hell I have lived in - I am still sick, severe body pain and neurological pins and needles sensation. I spoke with a lawyer who said doctors are bound by their attorneys to never admit their drug could cause damage, he also said the Kenalog could have been bad or tainted. My leg/body pain is severe and I don't know if I will ever be the same again. I have not had a period since the shot. One doctor suggested the Kenalog could have stressed my system and released a dormant virus. Or the original shoulder blade pain was an infection and the Kenalog disseminated throughout my body. There is no answer or relief. It suppresses the immune system and cause false negatives on blood tests.
All I can say is please say a pray for me and stay away from Kenalog.

I have been taking 100mg of XL for about 6 months, I have been feeling terrible, headaches, jittery, can't sleep, irritable,fatigued all the time. I thought it was neurological, had MRI of brain, spine, etc... I also have ringing in my ears, and don't feel like doing anything. I am usually very social and upbeat, but now just the opposite. I hate this anxious shaky feeling all the time. I am going to stop taking it, skip a dose every other day for a week or two. Does anyone have any advice on how to stop taking wellbutrin?? If so please let me know. I want to get off of it ASAP!!!

I was on 10 mg. of lisinopril for about 2 months when I noticed that my left foot and my left hand frequently felt heavy, as if they had fallen asleep. My PCP checked me out and confirmed that I was not having heart problems. Then, I also experienced the "buzzing" sensation in my left hand and left foot. This happened frequently while I was taking the drug. I also experienced a burning sensation in the fingertips on my left hand and the muscles in my left arm ached.

Finally, I stopped taking the medication about four weeks ago and the sensations in my hand and foot greatly subsided, athough they did not go away completely. Ironically, a week after stopping the medication, I developed the achy joints (hand, knees and elbows) that many of you have complained about. Now, four weeks later, all symptoms have lessend substantially. I occasionally get a transient achiness in my knuckles and occasionally I feel some of the strange sensations in my left hand that I have listed above.

I just wanted to let those of you that are experiencing strange neurological reactions to this drug know that you are not alone; I went through what you are going through and possibly more and endured some of the worst weeks that I have ever experienced in my whole life; For weeks I was gripped by the fear that I was developing lupus or MS.

So, if you are struggling with some of these problems, be brave and stand up to your PCP and tell her that you WILL NOT take this drug anymore. I'm sure that you will find as I have that quitting lisinopril will restore your sanity and hope of having a happy, healthy future.

I'm not sure if what I'm experiencing is a side effect of Ambien...or not...but, I've been taking Ambien CR 12.5 mg for a couple of months due to menopausal insomnia...and starting around 3 weeks ago...I have a "wandering numbness"...with a very slight "burning" feeling on my right side...especially my right arm...my right ankle feels slightly swollen and numb also. My husband, who's an M.D., said that it sounds neurological. Could this be from the Ambien????

I too have been on Lisinopril for some time now. I was diagnosed with high bp when I was 16 due to reflex that has damaged one of my kidneys.

Like others have said, the Lisniopril was one of the first meds that actually lowered my bp, so my doctor was happy and has kept me on it.

I have noticed the fatigue, cough and the light-headedness. Those were all sides I was willing to deal with, but lately, one side effect has been unbearable.

Over the past 5 days, I have completely lost of my sense of taste. I spent last night in the ER as the doctors thought it may be neurological and I should have it looked at. The conclusion they came to is that it may be related to this bp med, and therefore, any other ACE Inhibitor.

I called my kidney doc today and have yet to hear back.

I'll let you know what I find out.

there are many adverse effects individuals feel are attributable to statins that do not reverse with stopping the drug--neurological adverse effects from nerve involvement, such as periphral neuropathy. The damage done to the nerves may be permanent damage and not reversible with "tincture of time". In addition, the "tissue half life" of a statin is unknown (amount of time required for half the drug to be out of the tissues)--could be months or even longer. thus even if the symptoms do not disappear within a weeks' time does not exonerate the drug as the cause of the symptom(s)

I TOOK LIPIITOR ABOUT 8 YEARS AGO. I HAD THE CLASSIC SIDE EFFECTS WHICH ARE NOW ACKNOWLEDGED. MUSCLE WEAKNESS, JOINT PAIN, TIREDNESS, TREMBLING AT ANY TIME I PICKED UP EVEN A CUP OF COFFEE. I WENT THROUGH EVERY NEUROLOGICAL TEST, ARTHRITIS TEST, ALLERGY TEST, EVEN TESTING FOR BONE TUMORS AND OTHER CANCERS. I ONLY TOOK THIS MEDICATION ABOUT ONE YEAR BEFORE THE GENERAL PRACTITIONER I WAS SEEING DECIDED MAYBE THE LIPITOR WAS TO BLAME. EVEN THOUGH I HAVE BEEN OFF THE MEDICATION 7 OR MORE YEARS, I STILL HAVE ALL THESESYMPTOMS. AT TIMES IT IS WORSE THAN OTHERS, BUT NEVER GOES AWAY. IS THERE ANY HELP FOR US WHO ARE VICTIMS OF THESE "RARE BUT SERIOUS" SIDE EFFECTS WHICH LIPITOR IS NOW INCLUDING IN THEIR ADVERTISEMENTS?

I have just started taking Lamictal and typically have sensitivity to meds. I take it for mood stabalization along with effexor xr 150 mg. Moy dose of Lamictal is only 75mg right now. But I have been getting acne again which I haven't had to deal with in over a year and a half. I go my occassional pms pimple or two even but now I am constinantly fighting the blemishes, including a couple of new ones on my back which I haven't gotten in probably 7 years. Frustrated is an understatement. But it is good to hear others are experiencing similar systems and I am not as confused finding the cause for this. Memory loss, lack of focus, disorientation,confusion are also the scarier of the side effects I have been experiencing. Today something new and very scary happened. For a split second I had to grab my desk at work cause I literally felt like the room was spinning. Not see swirls or anything but like when your on the til-a whirl at the amusement part. Does anyone have any idea what that could have been? I have been feeling a bit dizzy since also. Anything neurological really scares me. Does anyone also know what other mood stabilizers if they have taken any have little side effects from their experience?

I was taking Lipitor for 1Year. I began to fall and I couldn't get up. I was hospitalized and a neurological workup indicated that I had fibromyolysis caused by Lipitor. I stopped taking Lipitor. I was given a walker and sent for physical therapy. After many sessions of being treated as if I was a stroke victim I was released because I wasn't making any progress. I spent 3-4 months in the walker and 6 months with a cane. I was ver active prior to this, but it took a year to be able to walk without assistance. 3 years later I am about 85% recovered. I lift weights and walk about 3 miles a day. I am thrilled, since I could not even lift my legs initially. I still have weakness in my left leg and balance problems. I want to get the word out. I have been interviewed on local television twice. I woul like to go national . Len ***
