Rash on symptoms and conditions

My 2.5 year old son has been taking oral Singulair granules for 5 days. He has developed a vasculitic rash on his arms and legs. Is this a known side effect of the medication?

Can Fosamx D 70 mg be the cause of Ecchymosis Petechiae, I have developed what looks like an "under the skin" rash, on the ankles and upward on the leg, sometimes dark and also gets lighter, Doctor is doing blood work now, concerned about my platelets, it is possible there is no relation to Fosamax, but I am curious if anyone else has had this symptom. Thank you, dalecjim

I took Yasmin for the first time on Friday and for the last time on Sunday.

Developed a rash on my inner thigh, became unexplainably moody and depressed and then to top it all off became regally nauseous and blacked out on my bathroom floor - important to mention that I have NEVER passed out before which makes me think it has something to do with it.

I also had leg spasms - i'm not sure if these are the cause of Yasmin, but am going to go and see my doctor and check the side effects..

Has anyone else had similar side effects??

i have been experiencing terrible headaches for the past couple of months and have had 4 major migraines in the past 3 months also which involved paralyzing head pains and constantly being sick. i have also been getting very dry skin on my hands and a rash on my hand which looks like thousands of tiny burst blood vessels. my boobs have also gone up a size and been very sore. i have not been feeling myself, very emotional and depressed. i never put two an two together and thought that Yasmin had anything to do with what i have been going threw, but after seeing this site, i have stopped taking Yasmin strate away.

I have taken Z-paks before without any problem. This time I took the 3 pill dose. I have horrible stomach cramping and diarrhea. I also broke out with a rash on my chest - tiny blisters that itch. I finished it today and hope this goes away soon.

I am so glad I found this site!! I have only been taking Yaz for about 1 week but I can already feel the changes. I find myself becoming withdrawn and my sex drive went from 60 to 0 in 2.2 seconds!!! No wonder why, there is a testosterone blocker in this thing! No one has a sex drive without that!!
To make matters worse, I am breaking out with a rash on my face and forearms. My hair has also gotten dry!! Did I mention it's been one week?! I have been so thirsty and could not figure out why until I read that there is a diuretic in the pills. I'm getting these dark circles under my eyes, who know why that's happening but I'm not sticking around to find out. I am getting off now!!!

Yesterday I was prescribed a course of 21 tabs x 200 mg x 3 times a day by my dentist for a tooth infection. I took 2 yesterday and by last night I noticed an itchy rash on one arm. I have not taken any more having consulted my dentist today and he has prescribed me am alternative anti-biotic. Despite having only taken 2 tablets, 24 hours later I am covered in a rash which has made my skin lumpy and very itchy.

just thought i would put another post on to tell you how my autistic son brett is getting on with coming off his lamictal i told that he was on 750 mg a day we have had meetings with his doctors and they agreed we should start to reduce lamictal we are now 2 weeks into the reduction at 25mg a week he is now on 700mg a day the reduction does seem to have had a positive affect for brett his speech has become less repetitive his conversation is more meaning full the rash on his back is getting better he seems to be more settled in his self so at the moment things are ok i must say i make sure he has mis meds when he gets up in the morning around 7.30 then again around 7.00 on the night i will keep posting and letting people know how he is getting on

About 8 years ago I was prescribed Zestril by a private physician, after joining Kaiser 6 years ago I was switched to Lisinopril. 20mg/day. I had no problems until about 9 months ago when I suddenly had a SEVERE rash on my arms, back, and legs. After 3 physicians and an ER visit no one could identify the rash and no one asked about BP medications. I changed soaps, foods, clothing, and took lots of Benadryl. No improvement.

I never considered the Lisinopril because I had been taking it for so long.

My last physician was a very knowledgeable female doctor who confirmed that even after years of Lisinopril the side effects can suddenly appear.

It has been two weeks since stopping the drug and my condition has slightly improved but still very bad. Doctor says it could take weeks, months, or longer for symptons to leave.

My biggest complaint is that no previous physician including the ER never inquired about BP meds or Lisinopril. Incompetent at the least, bordering on malpractice.

Has anyone has similar symptons after a long use of Lisinopril?

I'm so glad that I have read all of these. The last 3 days have been horrible. This is my second month using the NuvaRing. I put the 2nd ring in on Monday night and I starting throwing up Tuesday night and haven’t stopped. I can’t hold anything down (not even water). I drove to work on Wednesday morning, while throwing up and literally falling asleep at the wheel. I couldn’t see anything, my vision was awful. I had lost feeling in my arm earlier that day. I took an early lunch yesterday and fell asleep in my car. I fell asleep at my desk and couldn’t see my computer screen. I thought I was dying. A few girls looked up this website and told me to immediately take the ring out after lunch. I had become so dehydrated and weak I left work early and went to the doctor. The Doctor immediately referred me to ER. I have a horrible infection that has gone through my body. I am on strong antibiotics to get better.
Now that I read all of these stories; I realized that I have been extremely tired for the past month and would fall asleep anywhere all the time. Like mentioned from the other girl below it was like I was in a coma. I have lost all my energy. Others have noticed a change in my attitude. I’m usually really hyper and now I’m very quiet. This ring could have wrecked my new relationship. (He noticed my attitude change and that I couldn’t even stay awake to watch a movie) I had a rash on my forearm a few weeks ago that freaked me out. I started getting acne on my face and dark spots on my cheek. And now that I think about it I have thrown up many times in the past month for no apparent reason.
Now that I have read all of these and have went through this horrible experience; I have a much better understanding and will never use the ring again. I feel bad for the girls that are going through this horrible experience now and in the future.

HI had the mirena for 4 weeks. It was the worst 4 weeks of my life. The insertion hurt so bad I felt like I was delivering a baby. They had to dilate me 8cm. During the 1st 3 weeks I felt tired, lazy, depressed, no sex drive which is totally unusual, very short tempered. The 4th week I broke out in this rash on my thighs and it has progressed to my calves and both my elbows. It itches and burns. I had the mirena taken out which was only 5 seconds and non painful. but this rash is progressing and not sure how to treat it. I have a dermatologist appt. on Thursday so will post after I hear what he says. One crazy thing is 2 spots on my leg have the exact formation of what the mirena device looks like-

My husband was prescribed sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim. After taking the medicine for 9 days, he broke out with red bumps (rash) on both of arms, and he complained about being itchy. Now he has them on his legs as well. I did some research and found out this website. After reading some of the side effects I am pretty sure that his rash is due to taking the medicine. He will follow up with the doctor just to make sure. I'm glas I found this website. Thanks!!!

I have been io Lisinopril for several months, and the only side effect I can say is a VERY ANNOYING rash on the inside of my upper thighs. It comes and goes and gets worse with warmth, like a heat rash. I also have now developed a rash on my butt that is looks to me like shingles. Very itchy, to the point of bleeding from scratching. I treated with diaper rash ointment and triple antibiotic ointment to not much improvement. Reently tried a jock itch ointment which seems to be working. Also took myself off Lisinopril 2 days ago, and things are getting better, but very slowly........

I have been on Lisinopril for about 10 months. I have really not felt well the whole time and have developed some side effects that i have gotten use to and just lived with and couldn't figure out what was wrong with me. I had fatigue, problems concentrating, headaches, chest pain, blurred vision, body aches and overall didn't feel like doing anything. I also noticed a small rash on my stomach/chest when i would get out of the shower but figured it must have been soap or something. I even tried not using soap and it would still be there. Friends and family started telling me I never feel good etc. So about 3 weeks ago I got really sick with diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, chest pains etc. Kept thinking i had a virus or something. A few times i was so sick I layed on the floor wondering what is wrong with me. Finally got into my doctor today and he also said it was a virus. A few people said they thought i was my blood pressure pills including my chiropractor. The doctor ran a sleu of tests today and i should get the results tomorrow. I have also had itching all over my body and a vaginal infection so i thought that would not go away. From reading all of this I realize everything is a reaction to the medication and I did not take a dose tonight but 2 benadryl instead. I always noticed throughout this that i always felt better towards the evening of course because that was when my medication was due. I will not be taking anymore of this and I am not happy that so many people are being given this everyday without any knowledge. Thank goodness people are responding and telling their stories so we don't think we are going crazy and hopefully feel better and maybe save a life!

I have been on Leostrin24fe for about 1 month. A week after starting this pill I spotted for about 3 days. I thought that my period came early, so I didn't really worry about it, especially because I read that it could lighten my period. Now three weeks later I am bleeding very heavy and I have been bleeding for about 8 days and I am cramping really bad. I also have some kind of rash on my arms. I never connected to the pill before, but now that I think about I did get the rash around 2 weeks after starting the pill. I think I am going to stop taking this pill immediately.

I was prescribed /TWP DS 800-160 for a urinary infection. I have taken this medication before with no ill effects, but this time my hands itch all the time and I have a red, itchy rash on my back and stomach. I finished the prescription today, ao hope it goes away and so far the UTI I had is better. At least I don't have as much pain, but it required two prescriptions before is worked. I have taken this before with no noticeable effects. Is this serious?

Hi

I just ran upstairs to look at what Antibiotic I was on last and it's the same one. I got a rash on about day 7 and googled it and saw all the patients with lots and lots of complications. Actually I mentioned this to the doctor when I went back and she said lots of people react badly to it ...she could even take it. You think they should have to warn you of the serious side effects ...
I wonder why they are using this antibiotic all of a sudden as I have never heard of it before!!!
Interesting ....you should have this in your medical records in case you are in an accident.

There are on line sites that people post reactions to things that others can read....you should add yours....like I said SCARY!!!!

I just googled Levaquin and read this: Quinolones, including LEVAQUIN, may also cause central nervous system stimulation which may lead to tremors, restlessness, anxiety, lightheadedness, confusion, hallucinations, paranoia, depression, nightmares, insomnia, and rarely, suicidal thoughts or acts. That describes what happened to me.

Oh my I am not alone.. I have tiredness muscle pain and am losing my hair.. has anyone else experienced this side effect.. I am only on this medication and I know it has to be the medication causing the hair loss.. Dr. says none has been reported but yet here I am.. I have a red bumpy like rash on the upper part of my legs that will not go away.. I am so glad for this site.. am calling doctor tomorrow --off this stuff now!

I have been taking metformin for 5 months and in the first 3 months with diet and exercise i lost 30 pounds but in the last 2 months no weight loss, I still exercise everyday, also I have developed a rash on my lower back, my doctor did not seem to concerned with the rash I go back in 2 weeks if she does change my meds, I may need to look for other options.

UPDATE from Yesterday)))>>> well thanks to everyone i quit taking it yesterday BUT!!!---> today when i woke up i had a horrible head ache and it seemed to be coming from my left eye. i looked in the mirror and i have a really weird yellowish glazed tint in both my eyes and in my left eye a blood vessel has burst. i also noticed ive developed a skin rash on my right side of my stomach and on my left calf. My joints kept me up all night in constant pain which felt like someone was ripping apart my ligaments. I had a minor anxiety attack last night (Ive NEVER had anxiety before) and my body just feels weak, drained, and i keep getting really weird muscel spasms in my upper thigh. I tried to go out to the store earlier and as soon as i stepped into the sunlight a migraine hit me, and ive never been sensitive to light....Ive had a feeling of helplessness and worthlessness more in the past 24 hours than i have in a year. Im also experiencing horrible lower back pain and stomach pain around where my kidneys are.... I did have a small amount breast tenderness when i woke up and im not sure if that's another side effect...(no im not pregnant, had multiple urine tests in the last week)...I think ive only went potty maybe once today...and that was at like 9am...its now almost 9pm. Im pretty sure if this isn't over with or doesn't improve by 10pm im going to the hospital.....i cant drink water and im pretty sure im getting dehydrated....my skins turning pale, i have dark rings around my eyes.....etc.......has anyone else suffered with these things? Levaquin is by far the MOST painful, riskful, antibiotic ive been on...They should definitely take this sh*t off the market!!! =[[

Hi ladies,

I just finished my last pack of Yasmin on Thursday because I felt I was pumped with hormones. I googled "coming off the pill Yasmin" and came across your comments.
I was originally put on Yasmin by my Doctor as I had put on a few pounds. I lost that weight with exercise (can't diet) but I have never lost my DD breasts (I was a C cup before Yasmin) and I've a tummy which when I bloat the week before my period, I look pregnant!
I've been experiencing a lot of the negative side effects of Yasmin over the last year and I was beginning to think I was going mad.
I suffer from very bad headaches, water retention, bloating and loss of sex drive.
In the last 2 or 3 months I'm now suffering with nausea, leg cramps, sore breasts, anxiety and feeling down.
As most of these symptoms have occurred in the last year, I just got fed up. I've been on the pill for 14 years (on and off), and on Yasmin for at least 6 years. I'm now 32, I'm married and would love a child.
I feel by coming off this pill, my body will settling into a routine before I hopefully conceive.
So glad I found your comments and I'm not alone in how my body feels.
Thank You.

I was taking Orthotricyc and then told my doctor I wanted to get rid of the cycle all together so she told me to continue taking the pills and don't stop them. So that is what I did for 3 months and the cycle didn't stop. I went back to the doctors and she suggested that I take Loestrigene24. I did this until Memorial day weekend and the cycle was still here (so you are talking about 5 months now of bleeding straight). So I called my doctor again and she suggested this time taking two Loestrigene24 at one time for one week and then call her back with the results. Well one week went by and still bleeding. So I decided to go to my OBGYN doctor and ask what to I do. He told me to stop taking pills all together so your system can flush out. Well in June I noticed a rash on my arms, I thought it was sun poison. These next few days the rash spreading to my legs then all over by body. I went to the doctors and they told me that it looked like pserious. I really don't think so. The gave me a steriod pill for 10 days I took that and the rash was going away. Well then it came back so the doctor then put me on a steriod cream and I am still putting it on at night time. I am so tired of this. I was wondering if anyone has had the rash? or if you know what to do about it.

Has anyone experienced a rash while using NuvaRing??
I started using NuvaRing for the first time 2 days ago and when I woke up yesterday I had a rash on my arm, chin, and chest, and today it has spread all over my one arm and has made it's way over to the other. I know it's not an allergic reaction to food because I haven't eaten any new foods and it's not poison ivy because I haven't been outdoors like that in the past few days. I also know that it's not an allergic reaction to anything else (except maybe NuvaRing itself) because I haven't used any new soaps, laundry detergent, jewelry, make-up etc. Also, I was very fatigued yesterday, I slept all day (went to bed around 12 the previous night and woke up around 5 in the afternoon) and when I got up I had absolutely no energy, and that is not like me at all, normally I'm a very energetic person. So far those are the only symptoms I have had, but I'm questioning whether or not I should take the ring out now before things get worse...

Hi, ive been on Yasmin now for 1 month and 3 days. A few days after starting it I got a rash on my chest and upper arms which i thought was sparked by the sun/heat. It went away and then a week later my skin slowly started to get itchier and itchier until I was covered in a rash from my ankles to my neck. I looked like I had a weird disease. Even the doctors were impressed, but no one could help. We suspected the pill as it was the only thing that was new to my system, but then it disappeared and we put it down to being caused by stress. Ive just started the next month (like I say 3 days into it) and once again I find myself scratching an feeling basically itchy and very very tired (not that it is unusual the tiredness I have to say, it just seems a little more than normal). I am now pretty sure it is the pill, but am nervous just to stop taking it. I just don't want to go through all that ive just been through with the previous rash, it was HORRENDOUS! Has anyone else had such a severe rash reaction? They were red, itcy spots with a watery kind of top to them........

OMG! I thought I was losing it. Have had the Mirena since April and have gained weight (an entire dress size) for NO REASON, been foggy, moody, no sex drive, joint pains, cramps, etc.I thought I was alone, Did I mention EXHAUSTED all the time and acne on my face and back-sever enough to get antibiotics from the dermatologist?
I also suffer with PCOS--does anyoen else on the Mirena suffer with PCOS? Would be interested to see how it has affected you. Tried BC pills and after awhile they stopped working then switched to the YAZ--DO NOT GO THERE--the worst Pill ever--so not many options for those of us with PCOS. Just can't wait to go to the DR and get this thing out.
