Stomache pains symptoms and conditions

I recently read where pharmacies are changing women's yaz rx to a drug called ocella that is notorious for these symptoms. You might want to check into that possibility.

My 11 year old son started singular in March of 2009 for exercise induced asthma. Within weeks he started having symptoms of heartburn - which he had never had before. I brought him back into the dr. mid June- they said wasn't related to singulair and actually increased his does from 5 mg to 10 mg. Since increasing his does, he started experiencing, daily headaches, stomach pain, leg cramps, night sweats w/ shaking & overall FEAR. Last night he was in tears - he kept saying there is something seriously wrong with me - I can't stand feeling this way he was afraid he was going to die and didn't want to go to sleep.

Last night I did my own research and found this board. THANK GOD!
He didn't take his singulair last night & he never will again.

I called his dr. this morning to tell them I think he is having negative side effects from singulair. They actually told he it was "HIGHLY UNLIKELY" his symptoms were related to singulair and NOT TO STOP USING IT. They instead said I should start giving him pepcid. I told them he had stopped it - for good and that we need a plan B for is exercise induced asthma. Looks like my plan B is finding a new Dr. that isn't in bed with Merck.

Has anyone had any experience with a NATURAL approch to controlling exercise induced asthma?

My son (now 6) was put on Singulair at 8 months old for asthma and has been o it since. He has never had an appetite and is quite underweight. He complains of stomach pains and headaches daily. At age 4 he was sent to a pediatric GI and neurologist and any brain or gastro issues were ruled out. No one could figure out what was wrong. He has sensory issues and just recently was referred to a psychiatrist for occupational therapy. It was at this appointment that it was suggested that the Singulair is responsible and since he has been on it for the majority of his life we were unable to make the connection. He has been off of it for 2 weeks now and has not complained of headaches or stomach pain at all. His eating habits are slightly better, but not great. Hopefully his appetite will improve over time. I wish we had only known sooner. I feel like such a terrible mother!

HEY EVERYONE! well i'm 20 and after having my daughter in may 08 i decided to get the mirena because i've heard nothing but good things about it from my doctors.I received a phone call from my younger brother telling me that I needed to go to this site and look up these side affects that everyones been having.And now looking at what everyones side affects are it got me thinking about my own.I've never lost my baby bulge,my periods are completely bizarre,I started to get achne all over my back that I haven't had in YEARS! and a little bit on my face as well.I have been gaining weight and wondered why I wasn't loosing it.One day i got a SERIOUS migraine,constant nausea,once in a while i would get depressed for no reason at all and stomach pains were constant.I honestly thought it was all just in my head.Everyone was looking at me like i was some freak coming up with things to complain about.haha. Truth is Mirena was a HUGE mistake.Some months my periods where lighter,while others lasted almost a whole month!! My suggestion to anyone who has Mirena,TAKE IT OUT NOW! don't risk your health.Theres other ways of preventing pregnancy.

I have only been taking singulair for about a month. I have noticed that I have become more irritable, grouchy, hateful and just numb, not really wanting to be around anyone, not caring about anyone else's feelings much. I also noticed I have become extremely lethargic, to the point of falling asleep at work as well as heart palpitations and stomach pains. I just started new birth control pills so at first assumed they were causing these side effects, that is until I looked up the side effects of this drug! I have over half of the side effects so I stopped it immediately and can already tell a difference in my mood. I have to sons age 11 and 14, both who have asthma and allergies. The took this medication for a few years with no side effects but have not taken it for about a year now. My youngest son however, has been diagnosed with ADHA and ODD and possibly BiPolar disorder. As I read the other posts, I realize the description of how their children act while on this drug is exactly how my son acts. I wonder if there can be irreversible permanent damage from taking this medicine? He has been on a number of ADHD drugs, none have helped except to make him stop eating and lose weight and he is small for his age, so I have taken him off everything. Has anyone else out there experienced what could be permanent damage from this drug in their children? Even after being off the drug for a year or so? If it could make me miserable within a month, what can it do when one takes it for years? Its sometimes hard to tell the effects of medicine on small children. My son prob starting taking it around 4 yrs old and took it til he was about 8 or 9. Just wondering if anyone else out there has had this happen to them or their children.

About a week ago I woke up with some kind of bug bites on my foot. Over the course of that week I scratched them so much while I was sleeping that they became infected. My left foor swelled so much that I could not even bend my toes. I decided it was time to seek medical attention. I went to the ER and he told me that the infection in my foot was spreading up my leg and decided to put me on an anitbiotic (levaquin) and pain killer (motrin). I made him aware that my doctor had advised me not to take any medications because I was awaiting having tests done because my primary doctor thought I was having mini strokes (I am 27 years old). The doctor told me that the meds he would be putting me on would have no effect on those tests or the symptoms I was having. I was given one does of both the levaquin and motrin before I left the hospital because all pharmacies were closed at that time.

I attempted to go to bed about an hour after I got home. I had severe chest and stomache pains, became very hot, had dry mouth and a metalic taste in my mouth. Also, almost immediately had knee pain, arm numbness and felt very light headed. I was not sure if it was a side effect from the levaqin, the motrin or a combo of the two and decided to do some research. I did not like what I read and I will never take this medication again. I thought medications were supposed to help you. I am already having health issues that someone my age should not be dealing with and am starting to wonder if that ER doctor was trying to kill me, and last night, trust me, I wish someone would have to put me out of my mysery.

lortab, hydrocodone, and vicodin are all derrivited from the same drug, and are essentually the same. differences mainly concern allergic reactions. to my knowledge, stomache pains are a side effect of too much of any of these drugs, and they are all highly addictive

I went into the hospital for stomache pains. The nurse came over with an injection and said " this is a little some thing for the pain" I then asked what it was and her response was " it's sort of like pepcid ac" About 5 seconds after the needle was put in my arm i couldn't breathe, i started crying, couldn't talk and my body was uncontrollably shaking. I even had some trouble hearing. They gave me Benadryl to reverse the affect and it took almost 45 minutes for my body to calm down. Later learning about this drug I feel that giving it to me on that day was a severe measure, my pain wasn't unbearable it was pain that came and went .
