Terrible feeling symptoms and conditions

I'm at the end of a 10-day cycle of doxycycline (100mg 2xday). Worst side effects: insomnia and restless leg syndrome. I think I'm averaging about 3 hours of sleep a night. Stomach pain, occasional cramps, severe loss of appetite. I've also experienced some of the stranger side effects others have mentioned: mood swings, depression, suicidal thoughts, feeling like I'm in a dream, mental problems (after I write something I realize I've spelled half the words wrong).
Next time my doctor mentions this drug, I'm going to say no way and see if I can get a sulfate based antibiotic or maybe good old amoxicillin.

After 2 shots in each knee, skin tone yellow 2 hours after shots, nausea, shortness of breath, hot flashes, can't lay down have to sit, rapid heart beat, dry-mouth, depression, fatigue, anxiety, when I sit still symptoms reduced but when I get up and move, symptoms increase. TERRIBLE feeling.

I went to the doctor two days ago, prescribed with amoxicillin for sinus infection (250mg 3x/day). I have asthma as well so the infection has hit me pretty hard. After taking my 4th dose last night there were noticible changes in my sinuses for the better, everything was clearing up, still a runny nose but now clear instead of green/yellow. Before taking the meds I had a terrible itchy throat as well from all the drainage and that is gone as well even though I'm still draining. Side effects last night were no fun though. I've had no appetite as it is, so I eat light before taking any meds at the least, had a yogurt and an apple before taking the meds and I don't know if it was the combination of food and antibiotics or just side effects, but I got a terrible feeling in my stomach like a burning sensation and was also nauseous...wasn't able to sleep for another 4 hours because I was going back and forth to the bathroom. Finally did get to sleep and woke up 6 hours later having to use the bathroom immediately upon waking and that was very unpleasant. A very high yellow diarrhea, and smelled horrible. Still not feeling better, have no idea what to eat and approaching my next dose...gah!

I have used Advair 250 for a few years now and have noticed a few of the same symptoms as the other posters, but my main concern is whenever I go off the drug for too long my asthma gets drastically worse. I have become extremely dependent on this expensive drug that I can barely afford and I fear it is just weakening my health while only mildly suppressing my asthma. I feel stuck with this drug now. I feel like a slave to it. It's an awful feeling.

i've been on bactrim dm for about a week now (2 doses/day for 14 days) for a possible MRSA infection (should know the results tomorrow...hopefully). about 2 or 3 days into it, i felt extremely lethargic and achy (all my joints were sore and almost 'warm'). woke up in the middle of the night a few days ago with my entire tongue feeling numb and the base of my skull hurting like hell and my lymph nodes on the back of my neck swelling and sore to the touch. since then, i've had chronic pain in this area. after reading some of the posts here, i decided to stop my dose until i could speak to my doctor since i wasn't able to speak to him yet today, i decided to resume bactrim until i can get on something else. it's a terrible feeling being trapped between treatment for a potential MRSA infection and stopping treatment because of the possibility of serious side effects. i just took another dose moments ago and am honestly worried i've made a mistake. but what choice do i have when faced with the possibility of an infection that is also very serious? i can't do nothing...

i honestly don't have a lot of options with a MRSA infection...i see people on here mentioning cipro or levaquin, but these also have tons of posts on here about crazy side effects.

this past week has been a living nightmare...

i hope those of you who have experienced such terrible problems with bactrim will find something that helps you...

I am a single mom of three kids. I had my little girl 3 yrs ago and on Nov.4th of this yr. I decided/was talked into getting the mirena inserted. It was absolutely horrible getting it in. It hurt so bad. I bled and had nasty stuff coming out of me for the first week then I just bled! it still feels uncomfortable in there and I too am waking up drenched in sweat! I didn't realize that I would continue to bleed for several months! Great birth control when you no longer want sex!!! Does it need to be removed by a nurse or can I pull it out myself? Some ppl have reported dry eyes but mine have been watering all the time and even have like a windburn/chapped feeling where the tears are. Its only been a couple weeks but its a terrible feeling!

I too have been on a regimen of 750mg of Levaquin for an infection on my leg. On day 2 I could not figure out why my upper keft arm was hurting me so much. I as so many others, wrote it off to hanging drapes and cleaning out my pantry. Four days later the pain started in my right arm and again, I was trying to figure out what in the world was going on. It's an intense pain like I've never had before. I have Crohn's disease so I wrote some of it off to that as well. I saw my Doctor today and didn't even think about telling her about the Levaquin (different Doctor prescribed it). As I lay in bed this evening unable to sleep I decided to do some research on Levaquin as it was the only thing I could think of that was causing problems. Boy, did I discover something. Thank you all for posting your issues on this website. I will be seeing the prescribing doctor tomorrow and will let her know the outcome of the drug and will make sure that I will never be taking Levaquin again. Too bad we can't get this word out to everyone being prescribed this drug. It's dangerous and hardly worth it. There has to be something else out there that we can take. .

I was prescribed Keflex 500mg to take twice a day for strep throat. Since I started this medication I also came down with a cough, nasal congestion and I am soooo tired! I cant stay awake! I also have had problems with bowel movements. I took magnesium sulfate to try and loosen things up. It took two days before I finally had a bowel movement... very painful and bleeding! I don't know if the Keflex has caused the Castro symptoms or the terrible feeling of being tired all the time but it has been miserable! I have had a mild headache also, but nothing I cant live with. Just wondering if I should stop the medication? I started this on Wednesday of last week. It is now Monday.

This is my 3rd month taking Loestrin FE 24 and so far I hate it! I am 25 years old and I've been taking othro-tricyclen for about 5 years and switched to loestrin to have a lighter period. So far I have gained weight, gotten headaches, and skipped 2 periods. The first month I was on it, my period was very light, more like a brown discharge, and lasted about 8 or 9 days. Then I didn't have any periods or spotting for the next 2 months, so I've been taking pregnancy tests, which all come out negative. I have also been having headaches around the time I'm supposed to get my period. It is a terrible feeling to skip a period and think you are pregnant, and this pill makes you have that feeling 24-7! My doctor said that side effects like this are common for the first 3 months, and then they should lessen after that. I will stay on it for another month or so to see if the side effects go away, but if not then I'm definitely switching back!

With all these problems we are all having, do you think we have a lawsuit on our hands? For all the time, energy, pain and $, we have spent to insert this thing only to have it taken out again?

I've only taken three pills so far and am experiencing a lot of lower back pain. My prescription is one pill twice a day for seven days. I couldn't eat my dinner last night. I also had HALF of a cup of coffee this morning and was wound up for at least four hours. I felt like swearing off caffeine for the rest of my life. What a terrible feeling. If you feel jittery on this medication... DO NOT drink coffee!

I've had symptoms for about two months now without knowing they were coming from taking doxy. First, I couldn't sleep at night b/c my feet felt like they were on fire! and my hands had the same tingly feeling esp. after a change in temperature. Then my toes became red and swolen around the nail. After about a month, the feelings never really went away but always got worse when I was in the sun. A rash began to develop on the tops of my toes. Each bump looked like a tiny water blister. After more sunlight, the rash spread to my hands and arms. More fire. I also got the terrible feeling in my thumbs and index fingers that felt like I banged them with a hammer. Now that the rash is going away (still bad on my toes), my fingernails are terribly brittle, discolored, and are coming off the nail bed on a few fingers. I've also gotten a fever blister and terrible sunburn on my nose, ugh. I was presecribed this medicine for acne, but that seems as though it hasn't even been treated. I've also noticed blurred vision and back pain, but I think that is just b/c I hate my job. LOL.

extreme anxiety, panic, impending doom, fear and tachycardia (heart racing) over 100 beats per minute. It was a terrible feeling for over 2 hours and then I finally got to sleep. This on top of being sick with an upper respiratory infection was almost too much to handle. I felt something was wrong after a few hours of taking the medication but I could not pinpoint the exact cause until reading from this site.

I have been on Yasmin for a week and had some problems with headache, being nervous, filling sick and on the 6th day I got this terrible feeling like difficulty in breathing. I think I should stop taking that cuz I feel really bad. I should switch to different pills. Has anybody had difficulty in breathing on Yasmin?
