Poision symptoms and conditions

I've been taking Lisinopril for about three months and wonder if this could be causing my anger. Before this medication I was definitely not a angry person but lately even the smallest things set me off. Has anyone else experienced this type of side effect from this medication? It has definitely regulated my blood pressure maintaining at 120/80

Thanks,
M.

After 3 weeks on Fosamax, I had an attack of back pain that put me in bed for a couple of days. I wondered if it might be the Fosamax. I quit taking it for 2 weeks. I thought I would give it another try to see if it came back. This time after taking Fosamax for 3 weeks, my ankle is swollen and I am having gout like symptoms and feel achy like I have the flu. My podiatrist did some blood tests for gout. The results came back fine. Low uric acid levels. I do not have gout. He took a lot of fluid off of my ankle joint. The pain has been horrible. I am in athletic shape, working out at the gym 5 days a week, and bicycling. This has been torture. I am stopping the Fosamax. I had a horrible reaction to Lipitor a few years ago with pain from my knee into my back. I could hardly walk. I am the one that figured out what was up then and stopped the med.

I think Fosamax KILLED MY MOTHER. My mon was previously healthy with no known medical problems. No hypertension, no high cholesterol, no diabetes...nothing. She was taking Fosamax for osteoporosis prevention. She developed an acute liver failure. There was no viral, bacterial, or cancer linked to this sudden onset of liver failure. She received a liver biopsy and within one week was dead from bleeding from the biopsy site. I have recently found some journal articles linking Fosamax to acute liver failure. MY HEART IS BROKEN. Do not take this drug without doing in depth research on its side effects and discontinue it immediately if any side effects occur. God Bless.

I was given 20 mg of Prednisone for 10 days for a rash and joint pain.
The pain went away and I felt great the rash got a little better. Two days ago I took my last pill. I woke up that night and my knees gave out. By morning I was great! Next night I woke with knee problem again had to slide down the stairs to the living room. I got to wondering if the knee thing could be associated with the Prednisone. I got on line and read all this terrible stuff. I am so Horrified! Today I am in pain like my body is bruised and my face is swollen a little. I have acid reflux as well. Non of this is typical for me. My knee thing is ok again, but I am just appalled! I have no MED insurance. I hope this isn't the beginning of worse things I am not taking that drug now. The Dr. didn't say I needed to taper...

I hope I have not damaged myself by taking this drug! My heart goes out to all of you! My question is - Why are the Dr.'s prescribing this terrible drug?

I have been taking Levoxyl for 15 years . About 10 years ago I developed fatigue, unexplained joint pain , leg pain and excesses heart burn. After lots of testing and specialist who could never find anything to cause these problems I was told fibromyalgia. Don't believe it. I never believed it for one minute. This is nothing more than Levoxly posioning. I am strong healthy weight and food concious and always have been. Why do all the people that are diagnosed with fibromyalgia have thyroid? Their all taking Levoxyl.

THIS DRUG IS HORRIBLE adn should be taken off the market...im a 21 year old male in decent physical shape...i was taken to the ER for dehydration from what i thought was a virus...the ER doctor couldn't tell if it was a virus or a bacterial infection so he automatically prescribed me Levaquin just in case it was a bacterial infection...Now it really makes me mad that he wasn't sure what it was and he prescribed this poision to me....but anyways he gave me one pill at the hospital 500 mg and prescribed 8 more doses to be taken home...that night i felt HORRIBLE! my heart had this erratic heart beat...my breathing was irregular...i just thought i was over reacting....that night i couldn't get to sleep i was tossing and turning...the next day i felt like my love handles were SWOLLEN and it was a very uncomfortable feeling also i had a painful jabbing/burning feeling in my lower back it was horrible...i just thought it was part of the virus...as the week went on things got worse i started developing anxiety...and i felt depressed...i actually told my mom i felt like i was dying...it was a miserable experience...my mom then insisted it maybe a side effect of the levaquin so we called the doctor and of course he said "Hes never heard of anything like that" he also told me i should stay on it b/c if i stop the antibiotic won't work or w/e and ill get sick again so i stupidly listened to him and things got worse...the last couple days my eyes felt really weird they were very dry and irritating and when i woke up in the morning or went from very dark to a very light environment everything was so bright it hurt to look at the light...ive been off levaquin for a week now and i feel a lot better but still have problems with my eyes...they are still irritating me and are very dry and now my legs feel weak and sore...i never thought an antibiotic could be this potent...thankfully my anxiety and depression have subsided a little bit...IM NEVER TAKING THAT DEMON SEED AGAIN!!!!!

I took Sulfa for 6 days and was in bed for an entire day with chills, high fever, and no appetite. I ended up in the hospital with 105.5 fever for 4 days! I am still drinking tons of water to wash the poision out of my system. I also broke out in a rash all over my body twice - on the 7th and 8th days after starting the medicine. I was given Sulfa to fight off a staph infection in my nose.

A lot of people who are experiencing side effects seem to have been prescribed a high dose of this medication. I am usually severely affected by prescribed medication (dry mouth, hallucinations, seizures, rashes etc- the lot!!!); that other people feel fine off. I don't think pseudophedrine is dangerous unless you have a high dosage. Its like with everything, any medicine can become a poision if you take enough of it. It is probably best to ask for a low dose instead. I'm taking 60 mg and its my first day- feel fine and congestion is loosening.

I went to the dr yesterday. Its been 3 weels since the last dose of levaquin. I still have the rash alth it has gotten some better. the condition of my skin is dry and itchy, whic i have never had a prob with til now and I will be 48 this month.
The dr wanted to put me on prednisone which would have slowed down or stopped my auto immune system and that drug has side effects all of its own. The levaquin caused my auto immune system to attack the drug, hence the allergic reation. Now modern medicine wants to give me another drug to conteract the drug that caused all the havoc in the first place. I am suppose to go back in a week. I am NOT going back. I threw the prescription in the garbage, I am giving my own body the chance to rid itself of this poision naturally. i am drinking lots of water and not even taking a antihistamine now. I may end up being one of the lucky ones who don't have the problems with muscles, tendons, joints ect after taking this drug. I do have some numb and tingly feelings and sone "muscle tightening cramps" for want of any other way to desribe it in my calf muscles. I am staying as far away from drs and medicine as i can in the future. I would have to be chronically ill to take another antbiotic period. This drug should never have even been prescribed for me with my history of drug allergies and I should not have been stupid and gullible enough to have taken this drug.
