Pepcid ac symptoms and conditions

My Daughter is 15 she was put on singulair 2 years ago. She started having severe stomach pains. The doctor started her on pepcid ac. It never got better, just worse. A year later the stomach pain was so bad she was hospitalized. They couldn't find anything wrong. She had several c.t's and ultrasounds of the upper right abdominal area several times showing nothing.Then she got worse she was experiencing 51 side effects from the singulair she was in the e.r every week including Children's memorial in Chicago. Her eyes and lips swell till they bleed and crack along with the stomach pain and low grade fever for 2 weeks at a time. She would be literally in the fetal position telling the doctors she was in pain and they couldn't find anything wrong. So they would send her home. She began talking about suicide and we have her seeing a psychologist who kept saying nothing was wrong with her because the tests don't show anything. Our doctor bills exceed 40, 000 dollars from last year just ur portion. Never once did any of those doctors say maybe its the singulair. They keep changing and adding new meds and still couldn't figure it out. We had to get a tutor and have now got her on state disability an I.e.p for education because she swells everyday. Her skin peals off her face after the swelling goes down. She wont even go out in public. I mentioned it to the pharmacy and they said oh my god stop taking it. They asked why didn't our doctor take her off along time ago. The doctor still wont say that it is due to the singulair. Now the suicidal effect is coming forth for the f.d.a. I want every parent to know not to let their child take this drug! Please ! L.S in L.I.T.H., Il

I was taking Lupron shot for severe endo and ando. The best 6 months of my life!! I was feeling so much better, no more Pepcid ac and Advil! I wasn't crutched over holding my stomach at work all the time....I no longer had to take off work for 7 days out the month, I wasn't in pain. I have hot flashes, but so what....it was worth it. I don't recall any mood swings, I'm more moody off the Lupron because I'm always in so much pain. Lupron worked for me. My options was the shot or a full hysterectomy. I will probably have the hysterectomy eventually, but right now, I'm trying to get my doctor to give me the shot again. I was reading and some of you have been on the shot for a year or longer....I was told I could only be on it for 6 months.

For optic neuritis, and arm and shoulder pain: I had a combo of 3 days of Solu-Medrol infusion (steroid via IV) and then went on the following regimen of Prednisone: 5 days 60 mg; 3 days 40 mg; 2 days 20 mg.
Side effects have been terrible with the WORSE CASE OF FACIAL ACNE I have ever had. I'm 28 - I have my 10th high school reunion, weddings, and more -- and it may sound vain, but if you saw this acne (hundreds of tiny pimples all over my cheeks; sides; chin; and upper neck) you'd feel my pain. Also, got shoulder, arm, back, and chest acne -- which I can take b/c I can find ways to cover that up. But face! It's terrible. I'm using Pro-Activ and see minimal improvement. The #2 problem has been SEVERE heartburn during the tapering off phase. I have never felt that much pain and it only went away after I completely went off the drug - I treated this with ginger drink (a hot tea sold in international food stores) and Pepcid AC. Also, due to my original symptoms I can do virtually no exercise when I used to exercise 6 days/week. I'm really worried about weight gain which I already see in my arms and face. My appetite has been through the roof. Irritability was the worst but I forewarned my family. My original symptoms have greatly improved, but I'd honestly rather fight through that original pain than endure the craziness that is prednisone.

About 2 years ago, I stopped Aciphex because I was getting muscle pains and ocasional pins and needles. I went Pepcid AC. About 6 months ago I decided to give Aciphex another try, feeling that maybe it wasn't causing those symptoms. Now, I've started getting ocasional pins and needles again, only worse than last time--so now I'm back on Pepcid. I hope the pins and needles go away.

I went into the hospital for stomache pains. The nurse came over with an injection and said " this is a little some thing for the pain" I then asked what it was and her response was " it's sort of like pepcid ac" About 5 seconds after the needle was put in my arm i couldn't breathe, i started crying, couldn't talk and my body was uncontrollably shaking. I even had some trouble hearing. They gave me Benadryl to reverse the affect and it took almost 45 minutes for my body to calm down. Later learning about this drug I feel that giving it to me on that day was a severe measure, my pain wasn't unbearable it was pain that came and went .

I have been taking Levaquin since Tuesday for a UTI and I have been having the WORST stomach cramps, bloating and excessive gas. At first I thought it was something I ate, since we have been barbequeing a lot but now that I read this page I'm convinced it's the medicine. I feel like I've eaten 3 cans of beans, broccoli and onions mixed together, that's how bad my stomach hurts. It feels like it's going to explode. The only thing that seems to have calmed the pain a bit is Pepcid AC. I want to ask my doctor to switch me. I'm glad I read this site.
