My GP, (doctor) prescribed Niaspan Prolonged Release Nicotinic acid (Ph Eur) 8 days ago to lower bad cholesterol. It came in a starter pack 7x375mg - 7x500mg-7x750mg for three weeks to run consecutively, which I take in conjunction with Zimverstatin 40mg nightly. First 7 nights, no problem, last night started the second week dosage...and after taking the first 500mg tab, I got busy on my com for a while...as you do...then Bang! I began to burn up inside, sweat leapt out of me like a garden sprinkler, I went weak, nauseous, ran to the loo (Toilet) ran around the house in sheer panic as my heart raced so fast, it felt like one continuous beat, then I nearly collapsed. On passing the bathroom mirror I saw my palour had gone to a waxy-grey, then I instinctively took two 75mg aspirin, and in the end collapsed on the bed. I woke up about 20 minutes later and realized I was not in heaven as my room was still as untidy as it normally was...never mind. I am waiting for a call-bcak from my GP...there are things I need to know as I suffer with angina....thanks for reading this.

Started the z pack for bronchitis and sinus infection. First symptoms was stomach cramps, diarrhea. The next and most disturbing symptoms were extreme agitation, anxiety, depression. Have finished the last of the medicine 4 days ago and am still feeling the residual anxiety, agitation, general feeling of unease. Will never take this medicine again.

Remicade did wonders for me, my Crohns went into remission. Still have muscle pain over a year after not taking it. Maybe that is from the Imuran. When I had my infusions I had to have Prednisone before & during because of an allergic reaction.

Hi Guys
iam weaker than you all I know I startted the Lexapro I was crying so bad from the constant aggitation and couldnt do it anymore
I suffered for 6 weeks of aggitation everyday
It was getting the best of me and my heart and soul
My sister didnt want me to take it as we are naturalists but I already screwed up and took the BCP
I was desperate I needed something to take away the anxiety it just became too much to handle
My stomach was constantly nauseated from the anxiety to where I couldnt look at myself
Here is what the pharmacist told me
May apply to everyone
I was anemic than took BCP which depletes you nutritionally anyhow he said being Iam 42 I was probably already low in estrogen progesterone than WHAM I took synthetic hormones and than WHAM went off the pill and left my body is sheer panic state which created the anxiety!
I believe this to be true but prior to the pill I was functioning quite well even with low hormone levels.
Why did I decide to give the Lexapro a try I guess because Dejay seemed to be getting ebtter on it and I was not and I was at the end of my rope.
I have only taken 3 pills of the Lexapro too soon to tell will keep you posted.
The doctor said I should only have to take it one month and than wean off it by than the anxiety should subside who knows
It is upseting my stomach
As I havnt eaten well in 6 weeks and my stomach is very sensitive
I dont notice anyother side effects of it yet
Just nauseated some and a bit lightheaded but this could be due to my lack of appetite
I know you guys are mnad at me for trying it

I'm glad I found this page. My husband has incredibly severe asthma and one of his doctors has decided that he needs to stay on antibiotics constantly (don't agree, don't understand, they won't listen).
Anyway, my husband showed up at my job today and told me he didn't remember dropping me off at work and he had no idea where he'd been all morning, he just "came to" in a KMart parking lot with 1/4 tank of gas missing. We stopped by the bank, stopped at a gas station for a coke, he dropped me off at work.....he doesn't remember anything but getting in the car at the house. He's seemed a little quiet, but he wasn't "out of it" or anything, but he remembers hardly anything from the last three days. After a few moments of sheer panic and running through possibilities (like a mini-stroke), I remembered the doctor had changed his antibiotic to Avelox and that I'd had a similar experience a few years ago with an antibiotic. I did some research on line and the side effects listing for Avelox was INSANE! Why do they prescribe this stuff so quickly??? We, too, received samples, so no insert was included - no warnings. He feels awful and he's sleeping as I type, and hopefully things will improve once it's out of his system: I've got my fingers crossed!
