This is a nightmare. I have been on Lamictal 200 mg, tab in morning, for approx. 5 months. About 3 1/2 months ago I started getting muscles aches and weakness, muscle overuse problems, fluid retention ( like 12 pounds), stayed in a trance with very little short term memory. Thought it was everything but this medicine....I am an avid athelite, yes, even at 51. So, I blamed myself for not slowing down. Quick exercising totally, for 2 months, iced 3 times a day on leg muscles. Finally after making it to the summer without a mental breakdown, I went to the emergency room and a new internist to get checked out. Blood work, thyroid, hormones,ok.... Really don't care what they think , I can not walk, it hurts like hell. The Dr. did tell me to get off Lamictal....ok 7th day and I have some relief but it is not complete. Called manufactures, interesting, yes- these are side effects!!! But the studies are limited. Listen , unless you have seizures, get off this medicine... you read the full disclosure of side effects and then search yourself......It can ba a huge FOOOOOPA.....And you are the fool that will end up holdling the bag, not the manufacturer. Hopefully I will get better. Right now , I just trying to stay calm.

my 2.5 year old son began taking Omnicef after 2 rounds of amoxicillan did not work for a sinus infection. His prescription is for 14 days. By day 6 he would not nap but was constantly tired. By day 9 he began to sleep more, sleep later, go to bed earlier and take longer naps. He started to be antisocial and cried constantly. By day 10 he was throwing fits, throwing toys, crying and screaming about everything. He was even beginning to be hurtful by saying "I don't love you anymore." This was all out of the ordinary. Even when he was sick and not feeling well, he did not act this way. Just clingy to his parents. I gave him the last dose last night before bed and today has been the worst day ever. I have never seen him act so out of control and disobedient. At first we thought he was just tired and sleepy. But now that we have read these reports, we truly believe it is the omnicef. We will see our Dr. again tomorrow and tell him about the side affects. We won't be using this drug again.

I'm having severe neck and back pains. My legs ache. I'm always tired and sleepy. Haven't even got to work on time in the last two weeks and I'm the kind of person that can't stand to be late. My stomach has been bloated also.

Sorry about my writting, but English is not my native language.
I have been on Yazmin for 2 months, I have endometriosis, so the doctor prescribed it to me to control the pain with the periods. I have to say that since the last week I have an intense pain in my breasts. I can even touch them. I feel very tired and sleepy all the time. Yesterday i fall asleep in my work!! This never happend to me. I had never had a breast pain in my life. But not everything is bad. Because of the endometriosis, my period used to last 8 days and it was very painful, so painful than i had a surgery. Now I have 4 days periods and I don feel pain anymore.

The first few times taking this drug I had extreme nausea even though I had tolerated most previous antibiotics and pills pretty well up to this point.
I thought it was a little odd, but that it would pass.
The nausea finally did pass, but for the past two weeks I have been taking it I've been doing almost nothing but sleeping, and having extreme spells of tiredness.
Gradually every day has just gotten worse and worse than the next while on these pills. I don't want to get out of bed and lately have looked at the clock to see that I've been in bed for twelve hours at a time.
Now, I'm also in very advanced college courses. I initially attributed my sudden inaccuracy and inability to focus on the fact that I was just nervous about the courses, the material, but each day my concentration got worse, and worse and worse. It feels like I have ADD or something, which I've never had.
I felt like I was going insane when I could not even get through a page of material without wanting to jump up and shake myself around (also because of the numbness I got in my legs and arms). Not like me at all.
I have been dizzy, weak, incredibly tired and cold all the time, and entirely unable to focus all since I've started taken these pills. Unlike many of the other people's symtoms posted here, I've experienced severe chills and cold/ numbness in my whole body rather than heat? Except when I go in the sun, which then feels like I'm burning up.
Today was the last straw when I couldn't even get up out of bed, drive normally I was so dizzy, could not normally read one page of material, and the sun felt like it was burning my eyes out.
And reading some of the even worse symptoms others have had, this drug is not worth all the pain and possible permanent damage just to kill a few of these pimples.
