Tooth problem symptoms and conditions

I was on 100 mg Lamictal for about 3 months and all I can say is this medication was a nightmare for me. I do have a history of depression, and have recently been diagnosed for Bipolar 2 (which by the way I believe I am not bipolar and that what I had was extreme stress and anxiety from a high pressure job), anyway the medication put me in the hospital. I was at work feeling OK and next minute carried out on a stretcher into an ambulance. I experienced confusion, more anxiety, hair loss, tremors. I also had seizures at work during the few months of taking the medication. My eyes were rolling back and forth. How scary! I also had sores in my mouth and my doctor said it was probably an infection or tooth problem. I never had these kinds of mouth sores before and surprise surprise they (and all other symptoms) went away after I stopped the medication.

I am only feeling normal now and it has been about 5 months after my hospital incident.

The hospital was very scary as well.

I have two children and I do not need to get all messed up on medication.

I am taking another path now and feel much better these days.

No more Lamictal or any other "Mood stabilizers" for me.......

Hello Gang,

I have never felt so sick in my entire life. I started taking Yasmin two months ago (I only went through two packs of pills). I have felt like I am going to die every day of this last month. I have had severe migraine headaches, body aches, chest tightness, dizziness, SEVERE anxiety and EXTREME fatigue. My sex drive has packed up and gone, I have terrible vaginal dryness and I am never hungry. I used to work out every day but now find that the very thought of lifting weights puts me to sleep. The strangest part is how the "illness" kind of comes in waves, I'll be fine all morning and then I'm freaking out/sick all night. I have panic attacks and I'll start crying for no reason. Sometimes I lay in bed and worry that I have cancer or a tumor or all types of various diseases. My boyfriend has been extremely patient throughout the whole thing but I feel terrible because we hardly have a chance to get romantic because I'm constantly sick or simply worrying that I might get sick later on. I actually just had four vials of blood taken yesterday to make sure that I'm doing okay. They also gave me chest xrays due to the chest tightness. The thing that really bugs me is that aside from being frustrating, confusing and scary, it is proving to be quite costly since I now have to pay for my doctor's visits and doctor's expenses. I just switched over to Loestrin two days ago so I'm hoping that will help get me back on track. Until then, I'm just gonna have to hope that this stuff gets out of my body and that the feeling of looming death vanishes. I'm all for going to the news or Oprah or maybe dateline nbc. Women should know what they're getting themselves into because it seems obvious that if doctor's are prescribing this to us, they must have no idea what they're doing. And that thought is equally as terrifying as the constant sickness.

I took 14 days of 750mg of levaquin for a tooth problem. After about 10 days I developed spontaneous swelling in the achilles area. This was much more severe in the left leg and it was very difficult to walk. Ice and elevation did not ease the pain and stiffness. The left leg was noticibly more swelled and red than the right. I went to the docotors and was sent to a specialist. Since by this time I had been off the Levaquin for about a week, it did not occur to me to tell him that I had taken the drug. He put me in a boot to prevent further damage and the leg is slightly better. I checked out the web to see what can cause the swelling of the tendon, without an injury and found all the discussion regarding Levaquin. Bingo! Obviously this is what caused my problem since I had not done anything to injure the tendon. It seems that this is now going to be a lifelong problem for me. Has anyone ever fully recovered from this problem?

What an awful day! I went to ER thinking I was having a heart attack because of the severe pain in my chest, neck and expecially right arm. After all the testing they sent me home saying it "might" be a reaction to the Levaquin I have been taking for five days (for a colon infection). I was convinced it was the levaquin since I am a very healthy 50 year old woman, hiker, runner ,ect and I have not taken an anitbiotic for over five years (for a tooth problem). Now all of a sudden I have this horrible aching and pain in my upper body. Needless to say, I am getting off the drug and will pursue this with my doctor on Monday. After reading all of this, I am hoping that the symptoms will leave and not cause permanent damage. I willalso contact the FDC and drug company. Thank all of you for writing this or I would have not known what happened to me.
