Rain symptoms and conditions

Keflex was not as bad as I thought it would be since I had recently been on Doxycycline which was torture.

I was put on Keflex for a UTI. I took 500mg 4 x a day for 12 days.

I experienced ringing in my ears which was tolerable because it was intermittent.

I had a continuous low-grade headache. When the headache would get worse I would take Advil, which would reduce it to low-grade again - it hardly ever went away completely until I was done the Keflex.

I also had diarrhea which is common with antibiotics. This too was tolerable.

I was nauseous pretty much the whole time but did not vomit.

The thing that bothered me the most is the way my body would feel like it was buzzing. My head would feel weird. And sounds such as running water in the sink, vacuum cleaner, rain on the windshield, etc, felt so loud and like a horrible rushing in my head.

It is a little hard for me to distinguish what was caused by the Keflex, or what was caused by the UTI, or the Endometriosis I might have, as well as the Doxycycline I had been on left some lasting effects.

READING ALL THESE POSTS SAVED MY SANITY. I ALSO WAS COUGHING AND GAGGING AS MENTIONED FOR MONTHS. DR TREATED US FOR MONTHS WITH ALLERGY MEDS, ANTIBIOTICS AND ANYTHING THAT MIGHT HELP US DURING A HORRIBLE ALLERGY SEASON IN FLORIDA BECAUSE OF LACK OF RAIN. WHEN ALLERGY SEASON ENDED I WAS STILL COUGHING AND GAGGING, NAUSEA AND ANXIETY. I TOLD MY DR. THAT I HAD READ ALL THE POSTS AND HAD EXPERIENCED MOST THE SYMPTOMS AND SHE IMMEDIATELY TOOK ME OFF LISINOPRIL AND SWITCHED TO AMLODIPINE. THERE WAS ALMOST IMMEDIATE RELIEF. AFTER A WEEK OF USE NOW THE COUGH AND CONSTANT PHLEGM AND TICKLE IS NEARLY NON EXISTENT. I HAVE RETURNED TO A NORMAL LIFE! PLEASE, THIS DRUG EFFECTS 80% OF THE PEOPLE TAKING IT IN THE SAME WAY. THERE ARE OTHER OPTIONS AVAILABLE.

I'm not sure, but since I have started taking Yasmin 3 weeks ago, I am perspiring like crazy! The weather is changing towards summer, and there's been a lot of rain and humidity, but my perspiration is beading down my forehead all the time, it's gotten to be quite embarrassing. I don't see perspiration as a side-effect, however, I don't know what else could be contributing to it but Yasmin. I used to take ortho-tricyclen-lo, but I experienced a lot of break-through bleeding - for instance, last month, my period spotted along for 2 weeks! So, now I'm on Yasmin and I hope to get my period soon so I can see what it's all about.

My mom was put on Levaquin for 3 days to follow up on a Colitis diagnosis. She began hallucinating, hearing voices, can't sleep, loss of balance, among other things. We suspect it's Levaquin and took her off yesterday.....how long until she gets back to normal? She seems to be getting worse even though she is off it now.

i have been an asthmatic since the age of 2 years old i am now 24 years old. preds as i call it has been a part of my life since then. i have a number of reactions to it from gaining 30 lbs in les than 6 months to almost definitely hallucinating. i urinate frequently,my hubby says that i'm a leaking tap. i cry and grumble at times for no reason: yes mood swings like rain in spring time. i even threw away my wallet after a dose of preds three months ago. i laugh uncontrollably. i get depressed. sleep for long hours one time and then become insomniac for days. i am super hyper. i am creative and expressive and get even better for a few hours after taking preds. also i appear to have an attention disorder at times. i have acute hearing i.e i hear like a fox really well and then some day si behave like an 89 year old with a hearing aid. i get rashes on allergic reactions to things i've been using all my life like band-aid.i don't like it in fact when the doctor gives me 8 to be taken 3 times daily for a week, i take two and feel better without all the side effects. i am so fat its a shame. i was tall and lean and sexy now i am tall heavy and my hubby still says sexy. we all hate it don't we?!

It would have been about 4 years ago My Doctor prescribed Singulair for my 16 year old son. He became very hateful and always in a bad mood and at times major fits of anger. At one point he got so angry ridding in the car together that I pulled over and made him get out and walk home in the rain because he was punching the interior of the car windows, and I was worried he would break them and hurt himself and others. He ran away from home....and so on...you get the drift. He quit the Singulair and is scared to take anything new now. He says he take Benadryl and uses Albuterol but won't take anything else. Now I started taking Singualar a year ago and I have done okay on it however I know that sometimes I snap at things that in the past I didn't. The funny thing is when the doctor gave it to me I mentioned to him the effects it had on my son and he looked at me like I was crazy!

Thank you all for making me feel as if I'm not alone. I thought this was the way I was supposed to feel. 6 years ago I experienced a sudden heart attack with no symptoms at 42. A new doctor put me on Lipitor about 2 1/2 years ago as a precaution. The heart attack was genetic as I was about an 80% vegetarian and walked about 8 miles a day. My mother had her first heart attack at the same age. I always had weight problems as a kid, but slimmed down as an adult. After the Lipitor, I have gone from a 32 waist to a 42, joint pain, sleep problems, lack of concentration and the constant feeling as if I have been run over by a Mack truck. You all are giving me the confidence to go with my instincts and stop taking this med. along with switching to a doctor who will listen to me and not tell me to get a personal trainer of which I cannot afford. By the way, I still walk my 4-6 miles a day even in the snow and rain. For me, it's always been my best form of exercise. Again, thank you all for not making me feel alone.

I am a new to BC. I am on my 2nd ring and I am having really bad headaches. I also have been sweating. I wake up during the night drenched from sweat. While trying to exercise, walk, or shop I am so hot I am removing clothing and fanning myself for relief. This past week while shopping at the grocery store I became so hot that I had to leave my cart and stand out side in the rain for relief. I have read a few of the past entries but no one has mentioned sweating as a side effect. Oh and shall I mention I am only 27 yrs old so no chance of menopause. Could this be a side effect from the Ring?

Hi all! I just began taking YAZ two weeks ago and things were fine up until two days ago. I started experiencing itching on several parts of my boy an last night, realized I had hives on my waist at my back, near my underarms and have serious itching all over the rest of my body including the palms of my hands. Please, please, please if anyone reads this an has had similar side effects, please let me know. Furthermore, I did not take the pill last night as I knew this could be the only thing causing these issues. Does anyone know the reprecution of stopping the pill mid month? Please let me know and thanks for your help!

I'm so glad to have come across this site! I've been feeling very weird sensations in my hands, feets and lips. I too have had the "pins and needles" feeling along with the "my foot fell asleep feeling, but it's not really asleep" ... Also I've been getting the same tingle in my lower lip. I was really glad to see someone said it felt like rain. Multiple times I've asked "are we getting wet?" I felt a misting feeling on my hands and cheeks. This is one weird medicine! I too have felt sick many times and even vomitted once. The best thing I found was to eat at least a little something before taking the pill rather then during or after. Also, have severe sun burn on fingers and toes even though I used 45 sun block. I'll agree stay out of the sun!

ITCHING !!! OH MY !!! My husband went thru a severe bout with itching EVERYWHERE ! His sister was also on a related drug to Lisinopril and she was having itching problems too.

As for floaters and cobwebs and cloudy vision... I have ALL of those symptoms. I can't see at all to drive at twilight or when rain is on the windshield. I had a Dr appt this past Monday and had to cancel it because it was raining and I had no other way to get to the Dr.

I've been off the meds now for about 6 weeks and my strength is returning, my hair is shiny and feels like it has body again and I'm waiting patiently for my sight to get better. The acid reflux problem has improved too.

My girlfriend keeps telling me to see an eye doctor but I just saw one a bit over a year ago. I thought the new glasses were part of the problem as they are transition lenses and now I know it's just because my glasses are of the proper strength it's the Lisinopril that has messed me up.

God Bless,
