Psychotic behavior symptoms and conditions

Sadly, I too have had a series of horrific experiences while "on" Ambien... though, at the time, I had no idea what I was doing and only found out after the fact that I had made a total fool of myself. I shut down a pool party at a neighbor's house one evening after apparently calling to complain about the noise they were making. Two hours prior, I was attending the same party. I went home, took an Ambien, crawled into bed, and was apparently up and around and making crazy phone calls with absolutely no recall of the events. Before I stopped taking it completely, my husband would just take the phones and the car keys away from me as soon as I took the medication and then had to put up with my insanity until I would just pass out. I have suffered major depression, confusion, poor impulse control, poor judgment, and have basically been an embarrassment and an impossible person to deal with when I have been on Ambien. I have tingling in my lips and tongue, tremendous lethargy, extreme mood swings and exhibit totally irrational and insane behavior... all without the faintest idea of what I am doing, and absolutely no memory of it after the fact; only the humiliating reports of family, friends and neighbors of my psychotic behavior. Ambien is an extremely dangerous drug and if I could mount an effort to get it taken off the market, I would. Where do we start?

My husband started on Lisinopril - 6/11/08. He also takes Coreg generic. He also takes Crestor. However, before taking Lisinopril, he had a persistent cough dating back to March. He was placed in prednisone for five days - 6/14/08. He has had chest pain, numbing of different sections of his legs, arm numbness. But, today, he threatened to attack me with a remote control and wished a tv to fall on my head.
This is psychotic behavior. Has anyone else experienced violent eposides and incoherant moments?

I was on Paxil for 12 years.
The early years I struggled to stay awake then gradually over 4 ti 5yrs I developed a boundless energy, with a constant elated and irritable mood, my thoughts and behaviors leaned towards the aggressive while highly confident. Never used a winter coat with temps well below freezing, I was always warm. Never needed more than 2hrs sleep each night.
Developed muscle aches, rash on both cheeks and along bridge of nose.
I read up on Paxil and discovered that these symptoms were Paxil related. I took myself off of it. I was on 20mgs then one month of 10mgs after that I quit cold turkey. While withdrawing I felt like my head was in a wind tunnel, a constant whooshing sound going round with dizziness, brain jolts, agitation, anger and crying, After 1 month of being off I began to feel better. If you want to quit you just have to tough it out. Once you get passed the withdrawals it is well worth it. I understand the link between school shootings, criminal behavior and serotonin reuptake inhibitors. It is wonderful after quitting to be in control of your thoughts and actions once again. I suggest you never start taking this medicine as it will be a nightmare withdrawing from not to mention the psychotic behavior it is known to cause in some cases.

After taking Levaquin 750 for a UTI my life has been turned upside down. Insomnia big time, muscle pain all over my body and right hand swelling. My daughter told me today that I am scaring her with my psychotic behavior. BAD STUFF!!!

I've been prescribed Doxycycline for malaria prevention. Can't take Larium as a major and common side effect is psychotic behavior so this is my only option. Feeling very nauseated within one hour of taking the medicine - if I took it on an empty stomach I would've probably thrown up. And this is only the second day of taking it. =( Heard a lot about different skin reactions which doesn't help as I'm going to Spain in two weeks right after Africa (Guinea) and I still have to take the medicine at that time so what am I gonna do - sit inside all day??? I wish somebody would've warned me or I wouldn't have booked the holiday so close after!!! Haven't had any reactions yet though so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
