I was prescribed Guaifen PSE 600-120 for a sinus infection. I took the first tablet at bedtime Friday night. I normally nod off in 2-3 minutes but here I was, 1.5 hours later and I was still wide awake. At 11:30 pm, in an attempt to put this perplexing energy to a productive use, I went downstairs to my office to get a little work done. At 5:30 am I finally got a little sleepy. I then slept for 1.5 hours and couldn't sleep any more. I showered and took another tablet, dreading how tired I was certain I'd be that day and looking forward to a nap. It wasn't long and I felt re-invigorated, like I'd just had the best sleep of my life. I went all day and into the evening, when again I took another tablet at bedtime. Repeat of night #1. Apparently I'm a little slow on the uptake, but I decided that I should investigate this drug for possible side effects. Aha! I experienced the bizarre! dreams when I did doze off, and an emotional plunge (that I never have) too. The upside is that I realized an overnight improvement in my sinus condition, thank goodness that the misery wasn't for naught. Oh, anoher positive side effect is weight loss due to a lack of appetite...LOL All in all, there's got to be a better way to get sinus relief and I'm calling my physician first thing Monday morning.

I am on 200mg of Zoloft. I started it last January, and have slowly increased my dosage to find the correct dosage. I am starting to feel anxiety again, and feel as though your body gets used to the meds, and you continually need a higher dosage. I am jittery, have insomnia, have very vivid dreams, tremors, my eyes tremor when I try to close them and I see flashes of light, when I nod my head down towards my chest it tremors, i am restless, it has made my add worse, it causes slight weight gain, muscle twitching...it worked fine, but the higher the dose, the worse the side effects, and here I am with anxiety again. I suppose I need to switch my meds - maybe try lexapro. But definitely get a new psychiatrist.

I have heart palpitations and was shocked back into sinus rhythmn via a cardio-vert procedure. I have been in regular rhythmn for over a year. However during this time my moods have become excessively black, my sleep has been irregular, and I can nod off at a moment's notice. During this time I have had lapses in short term memory and have suffered from bouts of bad judgement which I have never suffered from before in my life.
My cardio suggests keeping me on these but I feel I must get off of the medication. I have been off for up to three days and have found that my outlook and vitality has improved greatly.

I just started taking Levoxyl 25mcg. My doctors says my levels are slightly off and I have mult. nod. and this will help them from growing bigger. After taking my first pill I feel a lump in my throat that doesn't want to go away. didn't feel that way before taking the pill.
