Hello asthmatics,
I've taken Advair for about 10 years and have had a problem with bone and muscle pain since I've been on it. I started taking it because it was the only med. that enabled me to breathe, as I have severe asthma. Back in the day before Advair, I used nebulizers all the time. After reading the side effects of Advair (decreased bone density), I realize I need to stop taking it. I take a calcium substitute every day and this helps to eliminate the pain, but I feel like I have the body of a 90 year old and I'm only 24! Screw Advair, I don't need to mess around with bone density issues! I wish my doctor had told me that, or I had thought to look it up years ago. Only recently have I eliminated all other Rx drugs (except the occasional nasal spray) as well as most everything over the counter. I hope I'll still be able to breathe without it! If not I'll just have to find something else to take. Any thoughts on Intal? It seems like it might have less side-effects. Take care and good luck to all.

I get migraines all the time and Excedrin Migraine really helped for a long time. It's the only thing that gets rid of my migraines. However, One day I was doing a lot of different stuff while battling a migraine and I took excedrin more than the reccomended dose for 24 hours without realizing it. I took 2 when I woke up, 2 after lunch and one more at about 5. I think I overdosed because I was having panic attacks and sweating and almost vomiting and losing my vision. Since then I have been more careful and payed attention to only taking it once a day. I have not had the same results since the incident and now whenever I take it I get fatigue, nausea, and most importantly I get depression so bad i can't get out of bed. I have such bad thoughts and everything when I take it and it lasts for about 26 hours. I cry and can't stop thinking about bad stuff and I refuse to leave my bed and can't go to class or talk to anyone. it's really bad. This is also bad for me because I have to choose between haviing a migraine or taking it, getting rid of my migraine but being depressed for one day.

I was prescribed Clonazepam for anxiety about 3 months ago coupled with a generic version of zooloft. I am definately starting to feel insane. My head aches at random times. I do still drink and smoke leafy substances, which i know is not recomended, but I am still in college and I feel sometimes like its the only way to meet ppl, drinking/partying, especially in places where there isn't much else. I want to get off the drug, but I am so afraid of the side effects. I don't really feel better on it. because I like having energy, I am a spunky girl and it takes away my spunk. I just wanna know how to function in society. I get nervous around new ppl, especially bosses/or anyone in my field, if I don't take the drug, but I can't even really tell if it is helping. At first it was fine, but now my head hurts all over/ headache. I forget things, which may be the sertraline, but regardless I want to get off of it. I feel more insane now than I did before.
