Trance symptoms and conditions

I was 50 and the doctor prescribed lipitor 10mg since my cholesterol had doubled in the past twelve months to 300. I took it for four months and began to have pain in one leg just below the knee. I had talked to a woman about 65 years old once who was walking on the sides of her feet and I had asked her what medical problem she had. She explained that her Lipitor had caused this terrible pain. You would think that I would have refused to take this drug. You see the doctor had already prescribed a very large dose of fish oil per day and the cholesterol had not fallen. However, I began taking it. About two weeks before my enzyme checkup I began to notice the pain in the leg just below my knee and I stopped taking the Lipitor. I expected the pain to subside, but it did not. My cholesterol level had risen and my doctor asked me if I was still taking the Lipitor. I explained that I had been of it for about two weeks. The doctor insisted that the pain probably wasn't associated with the Lipitor. The reason being my enzyme level was within the range of acceptable. I began taking it again. The doctor wanted to have another test within four weeks to check enzyme levels again. This time the enzyme levels were borderline high. So the doc recommended stopping the Lipitor for a while and then another enzyme level check. You see, my body was telling me something. The only new factor in my medications other than blood pressure was the Lipitor. It has been about three weeks since I stopped the Lipitor, yet I am continuing with even more pain in tops of feet and above one knee a know seems to have appeared. It is sore and feels like it is bruised. I am not a doctor, but I had done some investigating Lipitor on the internet and read that in some patients the Lipitor actually causes small to large fissures in the arteries of the heart. Also, the muscles begin to attack themselves, thus the pain and atrophy. I am going to start taking flax oil. One cardiologist reported that he two cases a week of heart attacks due to Lipitor. He was enraged that Lipitor is still being prescribed and manufactured. I just hope it doesn't take years to regain my original self without pain. I am an active person who likes to work outside, garden, snow-ski, and anything else I want to do. I am trying to search for a detox program for Lipitor overdose, not that I have overdosed. According to my body's signals, I have overdosed on a toxic drug. I pray that returning to normal won't take as long as I have heard some people say it has taken them. Please try some other alternative to Lipitor and the other debilitating statin drugs. I will have to start an exercise program, even though I have put it off for years. I hope my laziness about my physical fitness hasn't crippled me for life. I am 20 lbs overweight and never took it seriously. I hope others will discontinue to take this life-threatening and debilitating drug!!!!!!!!!!1

My son is 17years old and has been taking sigular for 5 years due to allergies and a minor asthma condition, I am also seeing many of the side effects. The major ones are explosive anger, easy frustrations, laziness/lack of motivation, leg pains and cramps in legs, and when he sleeps it is almost impossible to wake him up in the AM. He mumbles and says OK I will get up , then after 15-30 mins and he is still in bed and constant attention by me to wake him, he finally wakes up and says, why has no one tried to help get me up and he is very anger. He has raised in bed, screaming, and punched at me during these 15-30mins, to later say, NO way I didn't do that, I don't remember. He seems to be in a trance!. I have been struggling to figure this out for 2 years now,

I do agree that I saw an easy going kid turn into one filled with anger and frustrations for no real reasons.

I wouldn't give anyone ant medical advice if I thought it did not work for me. For anyone who has the side affects that follow from taking thyroid meds:itching all over, muscle weakness, heart palpitations, extreme fatigue, joint pain especially in the lower back, clicking in the knee joints when walking, feeling like you are staring(in a trance), mood swings, etc... Please talk with your doctor about APO-NABUMETONE. It is for inflammation/pain. Since two months I was prescribed it , I have no symptoms. If I stop it the symptoms come back in two to three days. I am aggressively pursuing answers to why these symptoms happen, and I have tried every thyroid drug, just recently natural Thyroid. They all produce the same symptoms. My question is whether or not any endocronologists read these forums and if so do they think that our symptoms are just in our head as my doctors do. Thank you everyone for posting because now I don't feel so alone, I am not the only one.

I couldn't sleep on Sunday nights so I went on Ambien. I might take this 1 or 2 times a week. I have 10 mg but have to now brake it in half. My husband said I did some wild things to him ( sexually) that I don't remember at all. This side affect is okay with US!!! It puts my in trance of some sort but boy to I sleep well. Once this wares off you are up for good so be sure to take it early or late enough.

Since Geodon and increased dosage, my tongue and jaw and neck are clammped so tight that I broke some of my teeth. Sometimes my eyes go in back of my head and fingers and arms stiffen and are rigid and I am in trance like state. After 2 hours of taking, my butt is knocked out cold and I cannot wake up for anyhting while I am stuck in terrible nitemares and horrid sweats. My muscles in my legs and arms are constantly locking up in charlie horses and the pain is so bad as well as nausea and vomitting. I cannot tolerate smells of foods now without getting sick. Supposedly Geodon and Abilify have same chemical components, so what's the sense in switching ? I always had nitemares but this is terrifying and I am paralyzed it feels like and can't waken from these nitemares. I am desperate for help as nothing else has helped, but I feel like I have 20 new problems on top of what I already had ! Godd Luck all !
