Tooth pain symptoms and conditions

My experiences with Neurontin were similar to others here. I was on 600mg a day for couple years and it really did help with fibromyalgia pain! The bad thing is I gained 25 pounds and could not get it off! Then I went down to 200mg and lost 12 pounds immediately so I know it caused my weight gain. Recently I took myself off it completely, wanted to try something else. Haven't lost anymore weight (girlscout cookies keep calling my name) but I have had significant tooth pain! I did not make the connection until a neighbor told me today about neurontin causing tooth pain and I believe it! Since on SSD for fibro I don't have dental insurance but the pain is pretty bad sometimes. I'm tempted to go on it again because nothing else, outside of hydrocodone, has worked on my pain. I'm too afraid of Lyrica so I don't know what I will do!

I have been on advair 250/50 for about 1 year now and i have had dramatic weight gain about 40 lbs. which i cannot get off i have never been a heavy person, since i started this has changed. Also i have had tooth pain in my molars which are now cavities, that happened within 3 months from taking this drug.

Eyes sensitive to light, cloudy vision, tongue metallic taste, jaw pain, tooth pain, loss of circulation in lower extremities, joint, bone, tendon, muscle pain, high frequency buzzing in ears, pain from head to toe literally, chest pain, stomach pain, digestion problems, bloating, pain in liver and pancreas, kidney and lung areas, heart and right side chest pain...

I have been on Jasmin for 3 years and stopped taking the pill 3 weeks ago after finishing the last pack.

I had 1 panic/anxiety attack 2 weeks before I started the pill but was FULLY FREE of all other symptoms listed below. After I started the pill, the anxiety continued, but not with the same intensity - I stopped having panic attacks and instead felt permanently uneasy and anxious and began having high blood pressure. I cannot be sure that the pill has aggravated my symptoms, but neither can I believe that my fully changed reaction to any stress (I used to be very stress-resistant) has come from that one panic attack (triggered by strained back muscles).

The symptoms have really started about 3-4 months after I began and became gradually worse. I went to every doctor imaginable and they did not find anything at all wrong with me, except high pressure, which they said is from stress. I have been in psychotherapy for months and do not see an improvement and I feel like I have completely lost the last 3 years of my life: I am afraid of everything, I am unhappy despite a great boyfriend and I cannot imagine my life continuing like this.

When I asked my gyn whether this could be caused by the pill (I did not even connect this all to Yasmin), he said it is unclear, but I should stop because of my high blood pressure anyway.

Here are symptoms I have experienced, though whether they are all from the pill is still unclear to me.

1. Elevated blood pressure (around 140/90 or much higher if I am anxious)
2. Permanent anxiety with varied intensity
3. Permanent muscle tension with resulting pain all over the body
4. Hypoglycemia-like symptoms (but my sugar levels are never really low)
5. Headaches occasionally which can last several days
6. Facial muscle spasms
7. Jaw/tooth pain
8. Tremors - shaking all over for several minutes to half an hour
9. All the standard anxiety symptoms - chest pain, lump in the throat, dizziness, numb fingers, etc.
10. Extreme fatigue
11. Sleeping over 8 hours and still feeling tired
12. Inability to concentrate on anything - trouble working
13. Intense fear attacks during stressful situations (client meetings, talking to my boss, etc)
14. Dry eyes
15. Dry skin
16. Very high adrenalin production - cannot drink any coffee at all
17. Red wine intolerance - my throat starts to contract for some reason
18. Pressure in my head and in the nose now and then
19. Pain in my legs and calves - usually after walking for over an hour
20. Irritability
21. Lack of interest in any social activities, I avoid friends and am afraid of doing anything outside my usual routine
22. Cannot go on without carbs for more than 3-4 hours without feeling hypoglycemic
23. Severe stomach pains and nausea (occasionally)
24. Itching skin

I think this is all...but there could be a couple of things I forgot.

Until now, I have not noticed any real improvements, but my skin is gradually getting worse, which I expected. I guess 3 weeks is not enough to reverse what has been happening in my body for the last 3 years and I am trying to to lose faith and continue going to my psychotherapist...

six months ago my dentist prescribed 500 mg and 500 mg of penn every eight hours for five days,, along with vicodin for a horribly painful gum infection in my root canal. To this day I wonder if I will fully get rid of all side effects of the Met. After 3 days I was soo dizzy and with extreme blurred vision, the pharmacist and dentist office stated it could not be the ant but the vicodin. I stopped the vicodine and just stayed with Motrin. I had the worst vertigo and blurred vision you can imagine, I felt like an infection was now in my brain, (yet was not) I felt like I had a toxic infection in my body. I would fight to concentrate mentally, I was very fatigued and sick feeling. This went on long after the tooth pain. It took about three months of strining for mental concentration, dizziness, toxic feelong to begin to go away. By the fifth month I could finally feel my personality had returned. Yet my vision has not and has only gotten worse. My dizziness is every so often. During the first months I kept running back and fourth to my doctor with no avail. It was the eye doctor MD that said he was very suspicious that I had an toxic allergic reaction to the Met. Between doctor visits, eye doctor visits, cat scan I have run my medical bills high. I am extremely worried about going blind.
It has now been six months - my health, my vision, my family, my job, my personality have all suffered from this.... Don't take this drug............

I have been on this med (25 mg) for eight days to treat SSRI resistant depression. Three days ago I developed flu like symptoms, with fever and vomiting. While I have hypertension I have also seen an increase in my BP even though I am taking my BP medications. However the most difficult to deal with side effect is extreme tooth pain that started when the flu symptoms did. It is so painful I have to eat soft foods. I have had no dental problems in over 25 years. Has anyone else had this effect?

Two days ago I took out my third molars (wisdom teeth), afterwards I took a prescription strength 600mg Ibuprofen with no side effects. I took another pill 6 hours later, and I have been having the worst upper stomach pain, much worse than the tooth ache ever was since then. I have been waking up with agonizing pain every hour for the past two nights, and I can't even take Tylenol for my tooth pain now since my stomach is so messed up (I tried and it cause horrible stomach pain).

So on top of having to treat the stomach problem, I can't take any pain medication for my teeth and I'm just miserable. I'm 25 years old and have never had stomach problems before, the first night I thought I was poisoned or something and I was dieing. I think the small label on the bottle that says "if it causes upset stomach, take it with crackers or bread" needs to be replaced with "it doesn't matter what you take it with, it can cause much more pain that you have ever imagined." Because it actually doesn't matter if you take it with bread, or inject it to yourself, the function of ruining the stomach lining is because of it's anti-inflammatory chemicals, not direct contact with stomach.

I read about it now, and apparently the deaths from Ibuprofen and Aspirin (anti-inflammatory pain medications) caused by gastrointestinal problems is about as many as deaths by HIV-Aids in USA*. I don't see any Ibuprofen awareness rallies though. I wish I had time to sue someone because I really really want to.

I was Dx with Asthma in 98 after having bronchitis for the first time. I am not a smoker but Asthma does run in my family. I have been taking Advair 500/50 for 3 years and as far as controlling my Asthma I am so HAPPY to be on it!(I am 40 years old). In the begining I did struggle with side effects of heart burn,& tooth pain but that has subsided. The only side affect that has really affected my life is the loss of cartledge in both of my knee's. Granted I had a history of Femoral Patella Syndrome prior to taking ADvair, it just seems like the medicine has sped up the deteration. But Honestly. It has worked so well to control my Asthma, and nothin else seems to be stronger. I will have to choose breathing over my knee's.

I was on Lamictal for 4 years and after the first year I suddenly started having all kinds of teeth and gum problems for no discernible reason. But since Lamictal has the possible side effect of "sores or blisters on the inside of the mouth" I wondered if it could be related.

I did a Google search and am coming up with no experts yet, but lots and lots of posts connecting anticonvulsant meds, particularly Lamictal, Topamax, Neurontin, and Depakote, with dental problems. Dilantin is well known for causing gum disease and breaking down tooth enamel, loosening of teeth, and even breaking down of jawbone tissue.

I don't think the experts have connected the dots yet, but is anyone else having this problem?

I am having extreme tooth pain after only one day on this stuff-does anyone else have this problem?

perscribed for teeth aching, nerves under teeth hurting, tooth pain, the first time i took it it seemed to help a lil bit maybe for an hour, the second time, it didn't help, the pain increased, i was taking it with penicillin too, which was making me have nausea so i was stuck with nausea and mouth pain!!! I told the dr it didn't help the pain and he perscribed something else, hydrocodone, which is now helping!!

I took 6 treatment of Zometa in 2005 every 3 weeks and at 20 minutes per treatment. I then developed severe tooth pain and after seeing several specialist was diagnosised with dead jaw. I stopped Zometa at the same time. I have since had two molars pulled on the rt bottom of my jaw and it is spreading on its own. I have constant pain that I treat with tylenol or aleve, 3-4 at a time, every 3 to 4 hours depending on severity. I sometimes have to restort to vicodin. The last oral surgeon I saw said there was no cure at this time and nothing he could do for my pain.

I started having really bad tooth pain, like all of my teeth on the upper jaw. I have been clenching my teeth, which I never did before. I thought I was gtting TMJ or something, and kind of stumbled upon Singulair as the cause. I have been on it for a month. Now that I have read the side effects, I have also had stomach pain (I thought I ate bad food yesterday) and have been overly tired. If I didn't start looking for a cause for all of this tooth pain, I never would have made the connection! That's scary.

Also, Singulair does not list this side effect on their website, it only appears at the various pharmacy websites that sell it. I am going to complain to Singulair about this. I would have suspected it a lot sooner!

I was precribed Singulair six months ago. Though my asthma has been under control I have been very moody and quick to lose my temper. The biggest problem I have been experiencing is mouth pain. I went to my dentist thinking I had a cavity. He said it was my sinuses causing the problem. Today I realized the tooth pain started about one month after starting taking Singulair. I would like to know if anybody else has had this problem. I have also gained weight since being on this medicine.

Started 500mg for sinus/upper respiratory infection on 7/15. So, I am on day 7 of a 14 day prescription. Side effects include: restlessness, insomnia, muscle restlessness (not really a pain, more like a spasm feeling) in thighs and forearms, headaches that radiate down through my jaw and cause tooth pain, neck tension, increased appetite - especially cravings for sweets (which has led to some reflux and sore throat). Dr. refuses to acknowledge these as side effects and feels they are symptoms of the infection. White count originally at 16 is down to 12, so she feels the Levaquin is working and that I should stay on it. ??? Not sure what to do, so I've started taking Acidophilus 3 times a day to at least counter the possibility of yeast build up in intestines.

I was on neurontin for pain from nerve damage which ocurred during a lung biopsy last April. I had very mild side effects while increasing dosage. About 6 weeks after starting the drug, I experienced severe tooth pain that migrated around my mouth. After several visits to the dentist, and losing the ability to drive or work because of the severe pain, my Dr. determined that the neurontin was causing the problem. I quickly weaned myself off it and the tooth pain disappeared immediately. I have lately began suffering unexplained black-outs with no warning indicators or any other symptoms. My Dr. thinks they may be seizures. Has anyone experienced this after taking neurontin? CC

TOOTH PAIN AND HAVE HAD TO HAVE 6 ROOT CANALS IN 3 YEARS, THRUSH JOINT PAIN , WEIGHN GAIN 40LBS.

severe jaw/tooth pain

dry mouth
difficulty sleeping
tooth pain
muscular weakness
occasional paradoxical effects

SEVERE jaw/tooth pain, I drink something immediately after and assumed that was sufficient.
20 lbs weight gain in two months with diet and exercise. Was actually losing weight up until that point.
Restlessness
Arthritis type pain in hands, very painful and swollen, comparable to what I experienced with toxemia during late pregnancy.
Has helped my asthma tremendously. Terrible dilemma. I need to breathe but diabetes or a heart attack because of weight gain doesn't appeal to me either.
