Time to stop symptoms and conditions

My son is six years old and been on Singulair for 2 weeks, on the 3rd day he started complaining of stomach pain. That night he had a horrible nightmare and everyday since it has been something else it seems to get worse everyday. Sleepwalking uncontrollable rage that we have never seen before. He gets out of breath very easy and his comprehention is very bad since he has takin this drug. He is on day two of no Singulair and is still having trouble sleeping but the other effects are slowly ending thank god any parents thinking of this treatment for their child needs to do more research my doctor did not think it was the meds that it is just a normal child stage he is going through. (bull-h--t).

I suffer from the same symptoms as your daughter. I get ill in cycles starting right after my period for about 10 days.

My DR. suggested that I try going on a different BCP for a while to calm my body down. Then when it's time to stop, it should be much easier than getting off Yasmin which is pure poison and has interferred with our own hormone production system as well as other important functions such as thyroid production and digestion.

He recommend I try Desogen. Talk to your daughters DR. about that suggestion and see what he says. Also check her thyroid levels if you haven't already done so.

Our symptoms are so severe that herbs and natural remedies will not help. It will help a little but not too much...

I have never been sick for 28 years of my life until immediately after coming off of Yasmin. This is a lethal drug that needs to be avoided at all costs.

If she is trying anti depressents it will take about a month for any difference to be noticed if she does respond the particular anti depressent. If lexapro doesn't work, I would suggest fluoxetine as that is commonly prescribed for PMDD... which is similar to what we are suffering from.

I was prescribed this poison for a uti and a week later I was prescribed again for bronchitis. My "Doctor", and I use the term loosley, didn't bother to tell me of any side effects or even as much I should take with food or at night to help with upset stomach. I now truly believe that the pharmacutical rep told her that it was an effective drug and she said "Well, ok then, lets give it to some people. I can guarantee that if asked, she would have no idea about the damage or side effects which as a side note tells me that she cares nothing for her "patients." I hope she is making herself a good living. I have been off the drug for almost 2 weeks and have not had a nights rest since. The pain in my calves is too the point that I can barely walk around the block, I seem to have knots in my calves, my jaw has even started hurting. I have been having horrible nightmares, headaches and a feeling of being lost or not knowing where or who I am for periods of time. If it were not for sites like this one, I would have no idea. I would simply have to trust what my doctor tells me. People, it's time to stop assumming that a doctor knows what he is doing simply because he/she has a degree on the wall. I read in another article on the web that one lady persisted until she made her doctor do and enzyme test to test for muscle damage. At that point he finally started to listen to her when he found that she had muscle deterioration. I'm afraid there will be no looking back for some of us. Anyway, I'm trying to change PCPs today and hope I find a real doctor that will listen to me and believe me and help me with this condition. DO NOT take this poison-Levaquin. Tracy

I was wondering why I was having night sweats and now I know why thanks to reading other womens experiences. My appetite has soared, along with my weight of course! I am having cramps in my feet as well.

Time to stop Yasmin and find something more suitable. Thanks for everyones feedback, much appreciated

I have been taking Lisinopril ever since my insurance company would not allow me to take Zestril. With the Zestril I had more coughing. It took a long time to stop that but now with Lsinopril I feel I have no side effects. I've been taking it for over 5 yrs with no serious side effects. However, recently I had to up my dose from 2.5 mg to 5.0 mg which isn't a lot.
DUring this past week I have noticed I am very emotional, and am wondering this could be a side effect. I am a little more tired also but that is all I've noticed. Has anyone else felt this way?

Time to stop the personal attacks on both sides
Anyway, I hope for u, Jules, that everything goes well for u, no matter whick way u choose to get better. Pred. or not, life is too short to argue. No, I am not the spokesperson here, just one who has gone thru such an ordeal that I sometimes overstep someone . I feel for everyone who is on pred. or coming off of it, like I am. I apologize to u , jules. I don't want to visit "your planet" Just hope everyone can see what a sensitive issue pred. is. We really need to be educated on the dangers, and yes, benefits of pred. Being off it now is worse than being on it. The side effects are slowing down in some areas and not in others. I have to wait this out. God Bless Everyone who reads this website.

I've been on lisonopril since 1997 or so...never thought to really check the side effects...felt horrible since right about that time. Mainly light headed and terrible lethargy. Felt sleepy all the time. Was diagnosed with mild sleep apnea and many outdoor/indoor/and food allergies. Went through septoplasty, somnoplasty, sinus surgery, etc..nothing seemed to help. Ran out of my zestril meds this morning so I did not take any until late this afternoon when I finally had time to stop at the drug store. I felt better than ever all morning and soon I as I took the lisonopril, I ended up in bed sleeping 2 hrs later. I looked at the side effects warning and it mentioned feeling sleepy, lightheaded, headache and sudden weight gain...exactly what happened to me back in 97!....Now that I found this site I think I've found the culprit!! I never thought it could be that simple!!

I am off this stuff and on the phone to my doc on Monday!!

I was given Xanax for anxiety.For 4 years i was using them to deal with everyday life.It worked until they decided to take me off with out winging me first.I was having bad withdrawls,so i did the only thing I thought I could,I street bought.After 2 years of that one day I woke up and looked at my self and really didnt know who I was,it was time to stop.I was able with help to get clean from them with help from friends but the memories I lost can never be regained.I sometimes do miss the way they made me feel so secure about myself ,but I have to remember what they took also.If I had the choice again to take them and feel so secure agian with taking them Id turn it down.The pleasure they give you doesnt even come close to the pain when youve done them to long.Be careful they can control your life, they did mine!
