Prescription information symptoms and conditions

Prescribed Avelox 400 mg for 10 days, to combat sinusitis and lung congestion bordering on pneumonia. Dr. suggested taking it with Mucinex to increase impact on sinuses. Took first pill Monday, 4/13 and didn't have any unexpected side effects. Took 2nd pill Tuesday morning along with Mucinex, pretty much on an empty stomach, with too little liquid. I was having slight headaches, jitters, mild inability to focus, and some buzzing in my ears. After a few hours, I thought it would be safe to take an Aleve to work on the headache. BAD MOVE on my part. Within 10 - 15 minutes, I was violently ill, vomiting everything from an essentially empty stomach. I called my Dr. but he didn't return my call for a few hours. When we talked, I related the episode, and he advised that we should change medications. As we talked, I thought that maybe I had not been careful enough. Maybe there was a magnifier effect from the Avelox, the empty stomach, too little water, the Mucinex, and then adding the Aleve to the mixture. Bottom line, we decided that I'd take it again today, and be careful to avoid the combination issue. So far, it seems to be working. I'm still experiencing the buzzing ears, slight agitation/nervousness, and slight headache, but nothing scary.

There is one thing, though, that also concerns me. I have a recurring inflammation of my right Achilles heel tendon, and this illness or drug treatment brought it on big-time. My right Achilles is extremely painful and is throbbing like crazy. I normally take a Motrin (anti-inflammatory) and it goes away, but I'm not taking a chance with that until I stop the Avelox. My Patient Prescription Information makes a big deal about possible Tendon damage for those over 60, and I'm just about there.

Interesting counter-effect is that instead of not being able to sleep, I slept much better even after the first pill.

My Daughter is almost 11 and has been on Singulair since the age of 3. She has some very serious signs of anxiety. I was never told of any of the possibilities of these kinds of side effects. As a matter of fact the doctor never discussed any side effects. I only know what I read on the prescription information almost 8 years ago. I am horrified to find out about this information. She has also been complaining for a very long time of spasms and pains in her legs which I have brought up to her doctor and he claims they are and have been growing pains. She came home from school the other day and was devastated over some bullying that had occurred toward her that day. I was heartbroken to listen to this from her knowing I cant be at school to protect her from this unnecessary garbage and at the same time was waiting for the 11 o'clock news on the singulair information. Now reading all of this, I am sincerely concerned about what is really going on in her mind after I watched her get up the next morning on her own at 5:30 a.m., ready by 6:00 in a full blown anxiety attack about going to school, and dreading going period. I will be speaking to her doctor immediately and I will be removing her from this prescription to see if there is a difference.

My son has been taking Singular as well as Advair and Zyrtec and Nasonix for the past 6 months. He is doing so well. He has not had to go to emergency, he has not been sick, and he has not had mood swings. If you look at the prescription information that comes with Singular, you can see what the side effects can be. My recommendation is to take your child off of them if they have a side effect. I contacted my Dr. and Merck is studying only 1 case with a child that had side effects, but they did not say if this child was on other Psych medicine at the same time. The 2 psych meds that have shown a bad interaction with Singular are Phenobarbital and Rifanpin (spelling may be wrong). With all the posts I have read, very few people indicate if they are taking other medications at the same time as Singular. My suggestion is that you consult your Dr. and then send your case to Merck for more studies. If all you are doing is posting on the web, you are not solving this issue with the makers of the medication.

Has anyone else had problems wearing contact lenses with Yasmin? I've been on it for about three years now -- about a year ago my eyes started completely rejecting my contact lenses. I'm at the point where I can't wear them anymore. I'm thinking of changing to a different medication to see if that helps, but I don't know if it's just my eyes, the Yasmin, or all birth control. I know there is a definite connection, I've done some research. Has anyone else experienced this side effect?

I was just given a prescripition for LEVAQUIN for a urinary track infection from kidney stones. I took 1 500mg tablet today. I hooked up to the net to read about this medication and dont like what I am reading at all. You people really got me scared so I will not take anymore. So after reading prescription information I read that Many antacids and multivitamins may interfere with the absorption of LEVAQUIN and may bind and preventing full absorptionand you should take LEVAQUIN either 2 hours before or 2 hours after taking LEVAQUIN. So after 1/2 hour of taking LEVAQUIN I took 1 Centrum high potency multivitmin/multimineral supplement. I am hoping this prevents this shit from entering my system.

Glyquin was very recently prescribed for me and I am very interested in the documented side effects, other than those listed on the prescription information. If I do experience anything, I will send the information.
