Took mostly for seizures, but have been informally diagnosed with Bipolar II.

Had tremors at night, almost immediately, marked anxiety, weight loss, strange heat flashes, severe headaches (already have a migraine problem), complete w olfactory hallucinations (could have been breakthrough simple seizures, or headache auras).

Felt detached from myself and others. But the most disturbing symptom of all was auditory hallucinations. I have no history of psychosis and this only happened after starting Lamictal. Basically I could hear a constant chirping sound, subtle, but loud enough at night to keep me from sleeping unless my radio was playing to distract me from the sound. Could it have been a new form of seizure? Maybe, but regardless, the sounds started at the time I started this drug. Plus, according to a psychiatrist, I had no signs of psychosis, just the unexplained phantom sounds. One last possibility: Maybe an inner ear problem. Still would like to look into that.

People are right when they say this is still an experimental drug. If I had known what I was getting myself into, I never would have tried this drug to begin with. If any of you have had auditory hallucinations on this drug, without a history of any sort of hallucination or psychosis, PLEASE respond here and let me know about your experience. Thanks!

I was given levaquin 500 and told to take 1 tablet two times a day. After taking just 4 tablets I started to experience a wierd phantom taste and smell, heart palpataions, shortness of breath, difficult swallowing, insomnia, chest pains, brain fog, confusion, to tell you the truth I feel like I am being piosoned. DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG!!! IT IS POISON!! It is a very powerful antibiotic and should only be used when all other antibiotics have failed and only as a last resort. Don't be a guinea pig for the pharmacutical companies! Don't be a fool this drug could take your life, it is not worth it when there are other good antibiotics with less side effects avaiable to you.

I am so relieved to read some of these postings! My fiance has been having these spontaneous seemingly "phantom" pains since October. The first was knee pain on the outside part of both knees. He had an MRI and everything--nothing showed up. Then there was groin pain, wrist pain, and foot pain. His doctor said it was not neuropathy from diabetes. Everyone at work thinks he's faking it. The worst is currently left shoulder pain so intense he woke up crying last night, and he has a very high tolerance for pain. His prescription listed a possible side effect of "muscle aches" which prompted me to explore the lipitor issue in the first place. I noticed that the pain is very isolated and his skin is extremely sensitive to touch--has anyone else experienced this? He's seeing his doctor Wednesday for a physical, so I am anxious to see what he has to say about this theory. Thank you everyone for your postings--I feel as if I am not alone now in my suspicions....

After being given Levaquin IV for gastrointestinal illness, I experienced sleeplessness ( 4 days and nights without sleeping), disorientation, anorexia ( I still cannot eat five months later); heartbeat irregularities that became life-threatening; phantom odor which has made my life miserable.
I told doctors going in at the hospital that I have a to-date undiagnosed neurological problem ( two neurologists say " possible MS" ), and the doctor who gave me the Levaquin told me not to tell him that I had neurological problems.

I have been taking 3500mg of Neurontin for 3.5 years to reduce sever pain caused by cirvical disc degeneration (injury caused in severe car accident) Neurontin reduced the amount of pain and seems to reduce painful outburtsts of unvolentary movements & phantom numbness and pain. I am able to reduce the amount of daily pain-killers that I need to get through the day. I am currently questioning the relation with Neurontin and a liver problem recently discovered. Of course, blood tests indicate cholesterol, and blood sugar problems. Is there any documented relationship with the long term use of Neurontin and liver and/or kidney disorders?
Thanks
