Sleep my heart symptoms and conditions

My mother actually already posted about my experience with Levaquin, but I thought I would add my own story.
After being perscribed Levaquin and taking only one...I couldn't sleep, my heart rate (normally below 60) was at atleast 110, I thought people were outside my house and envisioned them talking about killing me. I have never felt this way in my life. It was very scary and I called the ER to ask if I should continue taking the meds. They told me to take another and see what happens... Thank goodness I threw it up, because after reading these horror stories, I'm afraid I may have had permanent damage. This drug is absolutely awful for those with side effects. Stop taking them at the first sign of symptoms like these. Most doctors it looks like are oblivious to the fact that this is happening.

I am 43 healthy female, my doctor prescribed levaquin 500 mg for 10 days for a UTI. I took 1 pill after dinner and when I tried to go to sleep my heart was pounding out of my chest I couldn't sleep. Every movement I made - my heart pounded harder. This prescription cost 100.00 - yet I won't take it one more day.

19 y/o male started omnicef 3 days ago for sore throat/fever. Taking 2 300mg pills daily. My throat felt better after day 2, but now I'm finding it a bit hard to get to sleep. My heart feels like its beating harder than it really should, and my asthma has become more severe. It's not really inducing wheezing..just a heavy feeling in my chest that is in no way related to the original illness. (the doctor checked my lungs, everything was clear and i was immediatly started on omnicef)

Wow, I didn't realize my pills were doing all these things to me.... I just thought something else was wrong with me. I do have frequent migranes, I get dizzy and light headed a lot, and when I lay down to sleep my heart beats so strong that I can feel it through my chest and hear it without putting my hand over my heart. I'm also experiencing severe water retention. My legs are so tight and swollen and my ankles are huge. I have been on the pills for about 3 months and have noticed all these different things but didn't think it was because of the pills. I'm not having panic attacks and much moodiness but my sex drive is also zilch. I thought I was developing heart disease because of the way my heart felt (strange beating and indigestion and tightness of chest) and with the incredible water retention.

I will go off of these pills... but I don't know what else to take. I haven't had much luck with birth control pills at all. If anybody has any suggestions or some good websites for me to investigate please email me at: ******

Thanks!

Warning! Never take medication prescribed for someone else, and always check for serious side effects. Since having chest and sinus congestion for three months, I decided to take my son's left over guaifenex. After three days, I experienced heart palpitations unlike anything else before. I also had a weird cold sensation, extremely hard to warm up. After a night's sleep, my heart rate has not yet returned to normal. I am horrified to know that this potentially harmful medication was prescribed to my then 11 yr. old child.

Been on Geodon for four months. Get sleepy and crash two hours after taking it. Sometime I crash bad and the feeling is awful with tightness in the jaw and neck . Sleep brings relief but It wont let me fall asleep. I had a terrible attack last night and went to the emergency room. They gave me a Benydril and an Ativan to help me sleep. My heart was racing also and the feeling was like a narcotic drug withdrawl symptom.
