Night time symptoms and conditions

The dermatologist gave me Bactrim to treat acne, I took the first pill in the afternoon and at night time I was vomiting and had fever.The next couple of days the symptoms went away but then they came back with itching, rash and lost my taste buds.I stop the medication and I am hoping that this symptoms go away. I guess I am allergic to this medication.

I can't believe that I finally found the solution to my problem! I didn't know what was happening to me its like I am a whole different person.
My side effects:
mood swings
weight gain
decreased sex drive dramatically
depression
not caring about anyone
feeling like i am the biggest loser in the world
i cry at everything
I take the pill at night and it seems like night time is the worst time. I cry to my boyfriend about how I want more attention from him when he gives me the most attention ever lately. I cry about the stupidest things and he even said somethings wrong with you emotionally.
It's effecting our relationship because I been on Yaz for years and up until the last 2 months i been a complete nut case. I am a freaking psycho and hate everyone. I am so glad I found out what it was and I am stopping this and changing my birth control or just stopping it completely for a little while because I want my life back before I ruin it all.

I am a 25 year old female who at 24 had never had any experience with birth control other than a quick prescription to a generic hormone to take care of a long period at 16 (due to stress.) Only a few pills were taken and I was fine. Now, at 25 I have been on YAZ for a year. I began taking it because I became sexually active at 24. Why? Well, I was mature both mentally and physically. I have had friends who became sexually active at a young age and who started birth control young. The side effects were pretty dramatic. I had seen a slim friend gain a whole lot of water weight. She even said it was the patch and later monthly injection causing the problem but the side effect was well worth the pregnancy prevention. I was against the use of birth control due to my preconceived notion of horrible side effects. However, once the monogamous sexual activity began I knew that I needed to take something. I had heard about YAZ and knew that it was something new and different. A different hormone used for prevention. I researched the pill and looked into any side effects. The posts I found seemed a little too ridiculous. I decided to find actual accounts and spoke to a co-worker who had been using YAZ for awhile. In fact, the majority of females I know use the product with no problem. Thus, after my yearly checkup I requested YAZ. My gyno welcomed the suggestion and even gave me several packs for free. It’s been a year without a problem. However, this morning I was hounded by my mother because there is a warning and lawsuit against YAZ and YASMIN (seen by a commercial-lawsuit.) This is due to severe side effects and death associated with blood-clots (when presented with heart disease, diabetes, etc.) I am a healthy 25 year old that frequents the gym weekly. I do not smoke. I drink every now and then. NO SIDE EFFECTS. My period starts after the 3rd pill is taken. It is quick and simple. I enjoy being able to plan things around my period. Cramps are light compared to what I use to go through. I can take one Ibuprofen the day of the third non-active pill and not feel a thing. I use to have horrible leg cramps and now I have no problem. My pre-menstrual mood has improved and I think it is because my period is no longer a strong factor in my life. I use to dread it and now I welcome it. I do not have any skin issues, no bloating, and no weight gain. Heartburn occurrence which is slim to none is similar to what I would have had before YAZ. I was appalled to find this site and to discover that people are having problems. I do not understand why people are so quick to blame this pill on everything. It seems like a lot of users who are posting on this site are extremely young. The body is still growing and maturing at 18 and even into the early 20’s. In my late teens, I was extremely moody and stressed due to college, etc. Any hormonal regulation then would have probably put me overboard! I am going for my yearly check up next month and will discuss this lawsuit with my gyno. I am concerned about this lawsuit. More importantly, I am concerned that this pill will be taken off the market. Call me a statistic but I like YAZ and would recommend it.

I am glad I am not alone with this issue . I have experienced most if not all the side effects.It would be impossible to be employed in any activity under these conditions.I changed the timing of to afternoons after I ate and it helped a little.I,ll go to night time this week end see what happens.
It did drop b/p fast,but the effects are just to much.Doctor said to stay out of sun wear hat etc.I thought my arms were dying, shoulder joint pain ,having to stop while shopping to catch up with spells light headedness,head aches,numbness all over,and bad concentration.I am on 20 mg pink round lisinopril.

Can anyone tell me if you can just stop Lipitor cold turkey or do you have to stop it slowly? I have been taking Lipitor for 5 years now and I have been trying to find out what is causing my leg weakness. I mentioned it to my doctor who said it si just a fact of getting older. The problem is getting worse and I noticed it started about 3 months after taking the Lipitor and has steadily gotten worse. I am 49 years old a little over weight {which I am working on}. I also noticed my asthma which I haven't delt with since a small child has come back. This may or may not have to do with the Lipitor but the pain in my knees and legs I believe do. It really hurts in the joints of my legs and sometimes in my shoulder area.

The first time I was given Amoxil was when I was 17 and nothing else would stop me from throwing up. Within a matter of hours after taking ONE tablet I stopped throwing up but became extremely agitated, had trouble breathing, couldn't sit still and this seemed to worsen as it became night time as I'd be lucky to get 2 hrs sleep across 3 nights. I'm now 23 and I fell ill again recently and was again prescribed amoxil-thinking it may not happen again i took it and once again was had insomnia for at least 3-4 days and felt very unstable. At night i will shake for hours. The worst side effect for me by far is the mental state that i go through. My doctor didn't seem to understand how only taking one tablet of amoxil could affect me so severely for such a period of time. After searching for side effects im relieved to know I'm not the only one.

A GP have me 8 Singulair tablets to trial for my 4 year old daughter to see if her night time cough would improve....(to determine if she may be asthmatic like me.) A month back I gave her a tablet at bedtime over 4 nights or so. She had a virus at the time, so I didn't think too much about her waking in the middle of the night very distressed, inconsolable etc. Tonight I gave her a tablet before bed, as her cough was quite persistent & I thought it may help her sleep. Well, she's woken up twice in the last 2 hours crying in her sleep and very distressed. Exactly the same way she did a month ago. I've just done a search of side effects and found this web page. Very interesting....I think the drug has definitely caused her to have night terrors and definitely won't be giving it to her again!!!

I had a Mirena fitted November last year due to severe anaemia caused by a fibroid which resulted in me having a blood transfusion. In the last 2 months I have been slowly gaining weight now 1 stone heavier than last Nov! and my stomach is really bloated, last week I had a terrible migraine attack which I have never had before. However whats is most annoying is an odourless non-itchy yellow discharge which I get nearly all the time, (feels like water coming out) my Gynecologist says the fibroid is causing it? but i wanted to know if its the coil? as I really want it removed but i doubt he will as the heavy bleeding/clots may return - I would appreciate it if anyone could shed any light on this.

I just got a root canal because my tooth is "dying" and it was causing severe pain throughout the whole right side of my face, head, and ear. I asked the Ortho not to give me Percocet or Vicodin because I get nauseous / puke profusely. I took an Ultracet and luckily I only felt a twinge of nausea... just on the brink of nauseous but I could live with it. It also made me feel really dopey and high. I liked the feeling because I had been days of severe pain and finally it was gone after the numbing from the dentist and the Ultracet... However, when I took one just before bed (4 hrs after 1st dose) I did get nauseous. I also felt twitchy and restless. My mom takes Ultram religiously for her headaches, and takes two at a time... I don't know how she does it. She is dependent on them. I went to work today and took one because my face started pulsing again. It was interesting because I didn't get nauseous and I felt more productive. I did get dopey for about 45 minutes but it went away and the pain stayed gone well after that. So in my short experience with this drug, I've noticed the side effects aren't as bad during the day (maybe because I'm moving around more and not concentrating on them). I've also noticed that if taken during the day I got a little bit of an energy burst after the 45 minute dopey phase passed. Now it's night time again and my face hurts again, so instead of taking a full pill, I broke it in half (Verified with pharmacist that it's okay), and took an 800mg ibuprofen. Hopefully, I won't get sick and I'll sleep through the night without a pounding face alarm clock.

I used Kenalog once every year for hayfever symptoms for about five years, two years ago I developed these "dents" at the top of the cheeks on my bum, they turned a dark purple/black, eventually filled out and have gone back to being a normal color, but the pain in my hips and knees is starting to become unbearable. I'm waking at night time with the pain and having to take pain killers during the night to ease the pain. While it was a miracle treatment at the time of relieving my hay fever symptoms this pain is definitely not worth it. I'm 32 years of age and sometimes feel like an old woman rubbing her hips and knees.

I am 56 years old and was on Advair for about a month and found that I was having night time leg cramps. I have always had occasional problems with night time leg cramps, but the Advair was causing cramps every night. Many nights I was having several episodes which would cause me to get out of bed and walk off the cramp. One night I counted about six times that I got up with very painful cramps. So I stopped the Advair and now I am sleeping again. I think it will take a while before I feel rested again. I am so tired from this whole experience. Leg cramps are not listed as a major side effect for Advair, but it should be. These leg cramps were agonizingly painful.

I used to take Diovan, but I wanted a more economical alternative, so Dr. gave me Lisinopril. I am now experiencing itchy skin, especially on the back of my legs, cloudy urine, and experienced tendinitis on my shoulders. The tendinitis is especially aggravated at night time.

I've been taking Keflex since January 1 for a leg infection; 3x a day and recently dropped it down to twice a day. I've experienced night time headaches, increased fatigue and starting 2 nights ago, bilateral leg cramps and lower back discomfort. Also feeling more anxious. No more Keflex for me.

I have been on 50 mg topiramate for a while now. It is part of a 5 drug mix used to address bipolar, anxiety and adult residual add. I take the topamax in one dose at night. When I first started it, I DID try to titrate up to at least 200 mg, but never made it past 75 mg. I took it in the morning, and, after about a week and a half on 75 mg, somnolence kicked in big-time and I was a zombie.
My Dr. and I kicked it back to 50, and moved it from a daytime drug to a night-time drug, and I have not really have problems since. It certainly still seems to have some mood stabilizing benefits for me, even at the relatively low dose I am taking. It also has helped with the awful headaches that I used to get far more frequently than I do now. I do not think that I ever received a weight benefit from it, but it seems that most people generally do not at this dose. Late last year, I had to switch to a different physician. Sadly, the new practicioner is no replacement for the former.
I have gained weight over the past few years for a variety of reasons. A somewhat sedentary lifestyle, social and emotional eating, too frequent consumption of caloric alcohol, (once a week or so,) as well as weight-gain contributory atypical anti-psychotic or mood stabilizing drugs have all helped put me in an unpleasant location on the BMI chart.
I have been enrolled in a hospital-associated, medically-monitered weight-loss program for several months and have een successfully losing weight. My new psychiatrist felt that an increase in topamax dose might be beneficial. I am going to attempt moving up to 100 mg, provided that I feel the change is warranted, and that the side effects do not kick in as before. The aforementioned practitioner has a tendency to be pixelated with respect to the approach towards a patient. This person does not seem to put much effort into reading, absorbing, integrating and using patient file information very well. For instance, this physician would miss the importance of the fact that topamax can cause an acidosis condition, and that the hospital diet typically intentionally puts patients on a diet that causes ketosis. These two conditions together would be unpleasant, to say the least. The doctor never even asked what type of diet I was on....
This is not the first time such an oversight has been made on the doctor's part, and it is my own educational background and awareness that has kept me from being the victim of the doctor's inattention and carelessness, not to mention probable nasty outcomes had I followed the instruction without question.
I am fortunate to be educated about this stuff, and so I do not have to rely on the practitioner's judgment alone. I am shopping for a new one, actually.
As it is, I am not on the hospital's most common diet, the ketosis-inducing one, and so I am not worried much about the potential acidosis due to topamax.
( I am not on the ketosis diet because I am aware of the problem such a diet can cause for bipolar disorder management, independent of any drug interactions. I read about this, consulted with the dieticians and weight-loss center physician, and chose a non-ketosis diet. I have been losing weight at a regular pace. the speed of loss is slower than with a ketosis diet, but safer for me. All it demands is better behavior on my part, but that is life.)
But I want to communicate a few things here.
First, I see that many people suffer not only from adverse effects, but also from arguably adverse treatment by physicians who either are not aware of a drug's information, are marginally aware of it, are not aware of their patient, or some combination of the above, or perhaps they just don't care.
There is also a clear tendency for many docs to balk when the patient's experience doesn't fit the prescriber's leaflet, resulting in dismissal of the patient's concerns and experiences, and may lead to arguably unnecessary tests and diagnostics rather than discontinuation of an offending drug.
Be aware that such treatment is indicative of a problem with your doctor, and the relationship between the two of you. Don't allow yourself to be tossed off that way, especially with no resolution to your problem; get a second opinion. Second, topamax is a specialty drug, and should be prescribed by, and treatment should be monitored by, a specialist. namely, this specialist should be a psychiatrist or neurologist, depending on what you ar taking the topamax for. Even if topamax had been prescribed for you for migraines or weight loss, the doctors most likely to be most educated about its main and adverse effects are psychiatrists and neurologists. There are a very few internal medicine or family practice docs who might be "with it" enough to be following the literature on this type of medication. A sub-point to this is a suggestion that education and information can only help you, and you should seek it out. Don't just read about a diagnosis, or about adverse effects, though. You'll run the risk of getting "medical students' disease", finding that your symptoms seem to match the disease descriptions for all manner of ailments. A general education is actually more useful. Text books can be a great help. Where you find something in a text is a bit advanced for you, try a more elementary text. Texts are available at libraries, so you don't have to buy them all. But reading up on psychology, understanding a little about metabolism, having some familiarity with medical terms, such things can save you from the results of a doctor's distraction, disinterest or disdain. It can also be immensely comforting just to understand how one's body works, and how drugs work within it, when one must face a disease such as Bipolar, Depression, Anxiety, Diabetes, etc. College intro level classes are thorough enough to demonstrate how a 25 mg pill can cause such disruption or such relief in a person's life. Eating certain things, and at certain times, sleeping well or poorly, ambient temperature, hygiene, reading habits, ALL of these things can have a profound effect on a person's day-to-day life. All of those factors, and more, can effect the physiology of an individual. It is good to know a little about how the system works, the better to maintain it. Some pop-sci books are pretty good, too. "You: The Owner's Manual" for instance. But some may read such books and find themselves wanting more information, and this is where any number of college texts about anatomy and psysiology, neuro-physiology, psychology and physiology, metabolism, diet and nutrition, genetics, etc. will come in handy. For those with insatiable curiosity and a deep desire to understand and manage a given disease or condition, there are usually medical texts available specifically covering THAT condition. For instance, those with Bipolar might wish to read at least parts of the text Manic Depressive Illness:Biolar Disorders and Recurrent Depression by F. Goodwin and K. Jamison. This text covers most of the meds those with bipolar would be interested in, it surveys the research done to date, what is known about combo therapies, adverse effects, including hair loss and weight gain, it covers patient experiences, as well as physician descriptions. One of the co-authors, for those who do not recognize the name, is not only a top researcher of affective disorders, but also suffers from manic-depression. The text is almost a good a friend as a patient could have, especially if your own physician is lacking in knowledge about your condition.
Third, several posts express a desire to report adverse effects, as well as doubt that a given personal physician would do so. If you have suffered from adverse effects, and want to report it, you do not require your doc, family practice, psychiatrist, or whatever type, to do so. There is a government website available for the reporting of adverse effects, and it is available to consumers, too. The report data goes to the FDA, which sorely needs such reports, as the drug companies are less than honest with THEIR submissions of information, and the dissemination of research data leaves much to be desired when it comes to the publication of information that is less than glowing about any given drug. I believe that you can find the reporting website on the FDA's site, or some link there. I wish I could recall it here for you.
Fourth, topamax, like most complex drugs for complex diseases and conditions, will affect each person very differently. Some will have little or no problems with adverse effects, while others will find the drug to be anywhere from uncomfortable, intolerable to damn near, or actually fatal. fatalities have occurred with topamax, as they have occurred with almost all, if not all, drugs. There is always a risk for adverse effect, sudden sensitivities, allergic reactions and other wonders and horrors of medicine. This is the nature of it. You have a bad reaction to anything that your body comes in contact with at any time for reasons we do not undrstand and can not even yet identify. Your typical cough syrup could, without warning, suddenly produce in you a rash that could kill you. But the conditions and diseases that drugs treat can be just as awful, and leave us with no option but to take the drugs to survive. Most experiences are not so extreme. For those that are, the greatest sympathy. But just because one had a bad experience with a drug doesn't mean the drug is wholly bad, evil, toxic, or should be banned, or that the drug company should have a class action lawsuit lobbed at it. Drug companies are NOT, in general, being fully honest with their disclosures. But banning a drug because some people react badly doesn't address this, nor does it do any good for the segment of the population that benefits from the same drug with little trouble. I have had very bad experiences with some drugs, but do not feel that these medications should be banned. i know other people who depend on them, and I would not deny them just because I lots hair, gained weight, experienced akasthesia, etc. The individual reaction to a drug requires, sadly, at this time in history with our very limited unerstanding of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, individual trials. And those trials will often have their share of troubles, too. That is how we find out what works for us and what does not, and that is where we re right now. Maybe in two or three decades, with better understanding of genetics, genomics, epigenetics and related fields, we will be able to customize our cocktails with less trial and much less error. I would love a day when a blood test will tell us who will benefit the most from which drug while having the least adverse effects. I hate going through trials. right now, what I am taking is working without giving me problems. For that reason alone I may decide to NOT try and increase the topamax as my current psychiatrist would like. After all, she wants to increase it so that it might help me lose more weight. I am already losing weight without the increase, and the increase might bring adverse effects, or the additional topamax could simply destabilize my currently very stable mood. The last would then require me to go through another dreaded drug trial to find a new cocktail, a mess I have not had to endure for nearly two years now. I do not think that, for me, the additional POSSIBLE weight loss benefit is really worth the possible adverse effects. The doctor is rather casually experimenting with my life, probably curious to gather more data about topamax's efficacy as a weight-loss drug. I am not so sure that I want to rock my boat. I get the benefits from topamax that i am interested in, mood-stability and headache prevention, from the 50 mg that I already take. I'd rather not exp-erience what most of the posts here have described for adverse reactions, and I most especially do not want a rather casual, needless sort of medication modification to set off a chain of events that results in mood destabilization. That said, I am glad to have topamax available for me to take, as I am fairly sure that it contributes to my cocktail, turning down the amplitude of my highs and lows at a mere 50 mg per night. I would be sore to lose it, and do not want it banned. But I do not think I would want to take more than I am taking now. The somnolence I experienced in the past at 75 mg was not comfortable, and was the type that prevents any meaningful work from being done, anything from reading to laundry to following a conversation. I would not like "pins and needles." I hate it enough when I hit my elbow or when my foot falls asleep! And I really hated akasthesia that I experienced when I tried ability, a drug that made me right sick, but that I know absolutely saves others from oblivion, like my grandmother. I hate the adverse effects, or the experience of them, but I do not hate the drugs. and while I may dislike the drug companies, it is not just because drug have adverse effects, it is for the more perverse behavior of the companies themselves. One still has to try and be, if not positive, rational about one;s experiences. It is healthier to see experiences with drugs as learning experiences. Not everything in life is fun, but try to make everything have some value in experience.
I wish you all better days, and calmer, too. May you all find good and caring doctors, and develop excellent therapeutic relationships with them. May you know your diseases and conditions, own them, control them and thus conquer them.

I was prescribed a 21 day dose of Levaquin for a case of severe sinusitis. After Day 1 on Levaquin I had severe back, joint and muscle pains. At first I thought I was coming down with the flu. However the flu never appeared.

After about 5 to 6 days the pain became less severe, however my hips, back and legs continued to hurt. During the nights of doses 15 and 16 I woke to splitting headaches and a burning sensation on the left side of my stomach. After reading others' side effects and the commonality with my side effects I quit taking Levaquin after 16 days.

During the 16 days I was taking Levaquin I was extremely irritable and mildly depressed. At night time I would wake up 3 or 4 times and try to get back to sleep. I have never had insomnia problems in my life until taking Levaquin. My joints and body ached the entire time on Levaquin.

The drug was brutal on my body. I will never take it again. I will seek an alternative antibiotic. I have been off Levaquin for 4 days. Sleeping is going much better, however the muscles in my legs and back still hurt.

I have been on the NuvaRing for about 3 months. Just after I started it...maybe two weeks later I got the worst case of heartburn ever. I had never had heart burn before. I had just eaten a big meal so I thought it was that. Then a few weeks later I had another severe case of heartburn that lasted all day. I threw up and by night time my back was in so much pain I almost went to the ER. Finally fell asleep and woke up the next day and it was as if nothing had happened.
Went to the doctor and they tested for ulcers and found nothing. Had a few more minor bouts of heartburn in the next 2 weeks. Then this morning...same thing. Strong heartburn which has gotten worse through out the day and not my back is in serious pain. Just hoping to get to sleep. Called my doctor and told her about this possibility and she had never heard of this. She told me to remove the ring to see if there is a correlation. Removed it a few hours ago. If the heartburn goes away and doesn't come back I will have an answer.
I eat quite healthy and am not overweight. I exercise regularly and don't take any other medication. Has anyone else experienced this with the nuvaring?

This is a warning to those of you who are going off of Yasmin in an attempt to get pregnant! (along with a few other issues)

I was on Yasmin for almost 3 years, and I'd like to first say that I had SO many stomach issues since being on it that I had eventually been sent to a gastroenterologist by my GP. My gynecologist swore up and down that Yasmin could in no way be the reasoning for my stomach issues (nausea, motion sickness, diarrhea etc) however, I've recently gone off of Yasmin in an attempt to get pregnant. Here's where my huge problem comes into play... About a week and a half after going off of the pill I started having severe dizzy spells as well as fatigue. These symptoms persisted for the next 2 weeks or so and then about 4 days before I was supposed to get my period I started experiencing intense cramps. Of course my fiance and I were a little bit disappointed because this meant that those side effects meant we hadn't successfully conceived. So a few days go back, as does the usual Wednesday that I receive my period. So Thursday I decided to take a pregnancy test and to our complete and utter surprise it came out positive! We were so excited, as were our friends and families. So again, a few days go by (and I never got my period) and my cramps persisted night and day. Then I started experiencing sickness at night time when I tried to go to bed. We of course thought this was due to the pregnancy. Then Monday at about 4AM I woke up in complete and utter pain and went to the bathroom and came to find out I was bleeding. We completely panicked thinking I was miscarrying. I ended up spending that entire day in the hospital and later the next day we found out I was never pregnant. We had gone through a river of emotions within those 2 days and although we were very glad we hadn't miscarried, it was also devastating to realize we were not yet pregnant. False positives are very rare, and I'd have to say that they SUCK. So watch out girls, and make sure to go to the doctors for a blood test ASAP before getting too excited. Just wanted to let you all know.

As for us, we're going to keep on trying and hoping for the best. I of course never intend on going back on Yasmin as I've discovered I've been completely wasting my and my gastroenterologist's time due to this medication.

anxious thoughts and panic from side effects

This medicine made me extremely jittery and nervous. I had a panic attack and heart palpitations on it which were scary. I think it may have been because I had taken 3 separate doses back to back. It was as prescribed but may have been too much for my system. Now I am done with antibiotics but still trying to get over bronchitis and I don't take it as much, like I save it just for night time when it's the worst (coughing).

Ive been taking berocca for almost a year now. but not really taking it straight like once in a day for a year, but there was also a time that i skip for a month.

Im a recreational biker and there was a month that i took berocca 2 week straight and i take it during night time before i sleep so ill be pump up for the ride in the morning.

After the two week straight this is where the symptoms took place i am having a manageable pain on my lower right rib (the part where my last rib ends), my wife told me its the liver part on that area of the body. I was thinking its just a muscle pain on one of my bike rides.

but i stopped taking it not because of the pain but its because i run out of stock. I already forgot about the pain but after a month i bought the vitamins again i drank one tablet and hit the road, while on my bike i felt the pain on my lower right rib again. but this time it made me think its not a muscle pain at all because its been 3 weeks i stopped biking. Just today when i want to just bike around the city.

I haven't gone to the doctor yet/

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.

I am 20 years old and I had no fear about the Gardasil shot until I received my second shot. I had my first shot July 7, 2008 after my sister-in-law convinced me to have to. She swore by it. After I received the shot I immediately noticed that I was having headaches and nausea. I figured it was just a small side effect so I put it out of my mind. I was known for having migraines also. This was on my mother's birthday, I couldn't enjoy it with her. Later in the week I started becoming very ill and I thought it was due to stress and lack of sleep. I was working a night time job as a manager so the stress was normal for me. On Sunday, July 20, 2008 I went over to a friends house because I was depressed and needed to be with some on when I noticed the I had been getting dizzy. My friends boyfriend was giving me a ride home while he was smoking a cigarette and the smell made me feel very nauseated. I thought I was pregnant because my boyfriend and I had recently broken up not even a month before. After I got home all hell broke loose. I started vomiting. For the next 2 weeks I had been vomiting and I was not able to hold anything down. I couldn't eat and I couldn't drink anything. I was working full time while being sick. I had no energy at all. Finally, July 31, 2008 I was admitted into the hospital. I was complaining of stomach pains and a late period along with the nausea, severe heartburn, and exhaustion. After doing x-rays, blood work, and urine tests they came back and said I was not pregnant, but I was dehidrated. I was on a drip for 4 hours making me late to work. I finally was released from the hospital after lying to them telling them that I was feeling better. I felt worse than before. I went to work that night completely out of my mind because my boss refused to work for me. In weeks to come I started feeling better. I got my second shot September 12, 2008. Once again I immediately noticed a headache and nausea and this time I knew it was from the shot. I still didn't think much of it even after I heard about what the shot was doing to people. I noticed a red mark where the injection site was but I figured it was normal. I went through my weekend without a care in the world when I noticed on Sunday that I wasn't feeling well at all and I was starting to get another headache. This was on my brother's 23rd birthday so I put on a brave face and went through the night. I went to bed early. Last night I was sitting on the couch watching my favoraite show when I noticed I was getting another headache. I didn't want to say anything to my parents because there was nothing they could do about it. Later in the night I noticed my headache was getting worse with a sudden sore throat with no cold symptoms. I once again went to bed early. I woke up this morning with the same sore throat and headache only they were both worse following nausea. I was supposed to take a college placement test, but I had to cancel it for the second time due to being sick from the Gardasil shot. After I did that I came online and looked at possible side effects vs. side effects people are really having. Panicing I called a line called "My Nurse" and spoke with a nurse at my local hospital. She told me that since I am on birth control to try to regulate my period that it might have something to do with my headache. I told her about the times before when I was not on birth control and my hospitalization with the dehydration and headaches and she told me that I was the second person today calling and complaining about a headache after receiving the second shot. She informed me to try to take ibuprofin and if my headache was not gone within the next hour or two to go see my family doctor and ask him about the Gardasil and if I should receive my 3rd shot in January. So far it's been an hour and every time I swallow I feel like I'm going to vomit and my headaches only gotten worse since taking something for it. I will not be receiving my 3rd shot and I suggest to anyone who is getting the Gardasil to carefully consider it before getting it. I was perfectly healthy before receiving the shot and now I'm a mess.

Update on my experience with Lisinopril.
After 3 ER visits & 2 hospital stays the palpitations quit when the HCTZ (diuretic) was removed. Adjustment of dosage got the B/P readings down to acceptable levels but some side effects remain after 2 weeks. Dry-eye syndrome and over-the-counter drops do not help. I'm up most of the night-time.
However in the daytime after I exercise I feel sleepy and can sleep for a couple hours time.
Wondering if this side effect will go away or what. Anyone with the experience ?

I love Wellbutrin! I've tried many other anti-depressants: zoloft, effexor, cymbalta, generic wellbutrin (budeprion, NOT the same! don't let your insurance make you get the generic for this one!), and celexa. This is by far the best. I gained 35 lbs when I went on cymbalta (in just 4 months!) and within 3 months of starting wellbutrin, I've lost 25 of it. Most importantly, I'm hardly ever depressed now (and when I am, there's a reason for it, unlike before). I also have so much more energy! Unmediated and on the other anti-depressants I was sleeping over 10 hours a day between naps and regular night-time sleeping and I was still tired all the time. Now I can feel perfectly rested on the normal 7-8 hours a night, without needing naps as often. I also don't get headaches on the name-brand Wellbutrin like I did when I was on budeprion.

I've taken Ultracet for about 4 years almost every day, morning and night time and sometimes in the afternoon depending how severe my pain is. I take 2 pills each time. It does help take the edge off my pain. My doctor said my Fibromyalgia is as bad as it can get, plus I have severe arthritis through my whole body. I can hardly stand up straight and trouble walking. Ultracet seems to help better then Ultram for me. I'm concerned about how long I've taken Ultracet and damaging my liver or other organs. Does anyone know how long you can continue using Ultracet before it does damage. I'm very concerned about that issue because it does somewhat help with pain. I haven't noticed any side effects using Ultracet. If anyone knows how long you can stay on Ultracet without any harm, please post your knowledge or experience. Should I also have my blood monitored periodically?
