Poin symptoms and conditions

Today is Christmas day 2008. And a Merry Christmas to me ha!!!!!!!! I was given a prescription for the drug Levaquin on the 19th of December for a suspicion of pneumonia. The x rays done at the hospital found no evidence of pneumonia but my doctor wanted me to take it anyway because since I have asthma and my lungs sounded so bad I was told that I was at risk for developing any secondary infection that was out there. My husband filled the prescription on the 20th which was Saturday, took the first one of a seven day supply 500 mg tablets. About 4 hours after taking just one pill was awakened by severe and agonizing pain in both of my feet and my knees that I was writhing in pain. Since I have nerve damage in my feet anyhow I know what the pain that I normally experience feels like and instantly knew that this was not normal for me. When I thought that I finally might be able to walk I hobbled into the kitchen and dug the list of side affects out of the garbage (stupid me had not read them first.) I discovered that it was one of the side affects. Called the on call doctor in the morning since it was on the weekend and he stopped it immediately and put me on something else. I only took that one pill and since Saturday night every night I wake up in agonizing knee pain and I have never had pains in my knees before. The pain is so bad that I feel like I am ready to go on a morphine drip, or cut my legs off above the knees. Six days now from one pill, how much longer can this go on? I really feel bad for the people that contined to trust their doctors and continued with the full course of the medication and I realize that what I am experiencing is minor compared to what others are going through. This drug should come with a handout that says: Take this drug at a risk to your health!!!!!! Last night the pain lasted all night and I cried all night. Have to get through this day am entertaining for the holiday and have had no sleep. Actually getting afraid to go to sleep at this point.............D.

Okay, I'm 15 and I take 200 mg per day of Topamax for Bipolar. I had read to page 3 and hadn't seen anyone taking it for that, or admitting it.
I'm also diabetic and I take Metformin (Glucophage-fage?) for that, and I take Naltrexone for cutting addiction, and I take Geodon for Bipolar, I guess. I also take Lunesta to sleep.
I take the Topamax in the morning with Metformin and Geodon when I get up around 6:30. When I wake up, just about every morning, I feel soo nauseous until I have something in my stomach. If I feel too sick, I can't eat, and my mouth starts to water and I just have to sit by the stool and pray something comes up so its over. I don't know if Topamax causes this though, but its horrible.
So after I take my meds, I get to school and I usually eat breakfast, sometimes even if I have eaten at my house before school. So I don't really see much on the weight loss side of things, which is another reason I was put on it, because Depakote made me gain 80 lbs.
When I get to first hour, which used to be P.E, and is now English, I am usually not prepared. I still don't have last week's assignment done.
2nd hour P.E. I never used to participate in, and now I am, that might be because of the class change, but I'm not for sure. I didn't get the make up work for Health done though, even though I got an A+ on the Test we had today.
I don't think I've mentioned this yet, but I am in the gifted program in my school, so I am very capable. Just so you know. Keep that in mind while reading this.
3rd hour Algebra. I usually sleep. If I'm awake, I have to concentrate extra hard, because the number and letters just don't make sense, and not because its Algebra. Today in math was a special scene because I said something wrong about a problem, it was like, 74 - 66 and we had to find the middle poin And do something so it was 70 + 4 and 70 - 4 and I thought the 4's were 6's so I said so. And he agreed and then he realized I was wrong and made a big deal about it. And all the guys started laughing and all I was thinking was not to let them see me cry. So I held it in until my throat was on fire. But I still cried a little bit.
4th hour. If I'm not asleep, I'm refusing to do work in Science class. Like today, I got sent to the office for not having the supplies to work on the project.
5th hour. I don't usually sleep. This is a class like Home Ec.
6th hour Art. I'm usually really defiant, refusing to do work, complaining about the assignment. I hold a steady C in that class.
7th hour Spanish. I never sleep in here, and I have a 95% A in here. I like this class.
When I get home, I am on the computer for all hours of the evening. Until its time for bed. But when I go to bed, I end up laying there for like, an hour or two, even though I have taken the Lunesta.
You know, I think I just rambled on about nothing. I think there are very little useful facts about Topamax side effects in here. Oh well.
So, to sum it up. When I'm at the CPU, my legs fall asleep. When I get up from the chair, I'm all achy and sore. In the morning, I'm nauseous. I sleep all day at school. I have no motivation. I get to feeling like a want to drop out at least once a week. I want to cut at least once a week. Although its been more than a month, thank you. I procrastinate like everything. I don't do homework. I spend all my time on the computer. I don't have many friends, because they don't like the way I act/seem.
