Urge to urinate symptoms and conditions

I'm a 26 year old male and I'm on my 5th day of Omnicef (Cefdinir). As I have a Staph infection, there is no visability of improvement, but the following are my side affects so far.
Diarrea for the first three days, somewhat upset stomach, increased urge to urinate, somewhat decrease in moral, slight change in appetite and mild trouble sleeping. I noticed there were many children and older people postings so I wanted to represent my age bracket.

Kim,

I totally agree with Sarah! And another thing: You should really try to stop caring that much about what others say or think about you!! One very important thing, Kim!! Only you can feel, what you need right now and if it's the Lexapro, than you should try.

And as I know, what we all are or were going through I'm sure, that you're not weak, if you don't get through this nightmare without help!! Looking back I really don't know, how I stood all this without medication (ok, besides my Valerian, which I had always with me for about 6 months, just to know, that I had them with me, most of the time already helped....). And believe me: Some days I thought "Please give me ANYTHING, I WILL TAKE IT, I can't stand this any longer!" And I think the only reason, why I nevertheless took nothing was, that I knew, that my body didn't tolerate this kind of medication.

Everything went even worse only after taking one of that pills (they tried to put me on an antidepressant in hospital because of my very bad constitution!!)... But this also happened WHILST TAKING YASMIN! So it might be, that my body would react different about that stuff today...

Kim, I wish you best of luck, that the Lexapro will help you somehow through those hard times. But nevertheless I'm also sure, that you won't have to take it over a very long time!!

Sounds very interesting, what your pharmacist told you! One thing I found out first about Yasmin and bcp in general: They deplete you nutritionally, which makes things as anxiety, weakness, dizzyness and everything else definitely much worse!! And I think the fact, that makes Yasmin even worse than other bcp is that diuretic in it!! The more water we loose, the more electolytes and vitamines we loose!! And I wondered for so long why I had to get up sometimes 2 times at night with an urge to urinate.......

Best wishes to you Kim and all the others and keep it up!! We're all on the right way, I'm sure!!

Started taking this a month ago for severe dog/cat/dust mite allergy. At first, no side effects and no improvement. 30 days later some improvement - but doesn't last very long into the day - now headaches, abdominal pain, can't sleep at night, lethargic during the day, feel the urge to urinate all day - no uti doctor said, water weight gain / yet less appetite, possible constipation, dizzy, spacey, forgetful, tingling in lips/hands and feel extremely aggressive / irritable at times during the day. SO - tonight, I'm stopping this medicine! The only thing it seemed to do was improve my allergies slightly (I'm severely allergic) - and that only lasted the morning...by evening, it was like I never took the pill (I took it 10pm every night). Oh yeah, nightmares...and I wouldn't mind ALL of the side effects / IF - it had worked great...but NO. I had high hopes for this medication which my allergist suggested/did not insist on...but am disappointed with the effects and the side effects. I read here that in 2 days off it I'll be like new...can't wait. NEVER had a migraine before I took this drug, was always a SOUND sleeper...not irritable - I'm 41 female and in otherwise excellent health. I did gain weight/but it is water weight (I can tell) and I assume it will go as soon as it came...within a week or so of taking the first NASTY pill. I welcome back my allergies with open arms...good bye Singulair.

I'm a 46 year old male. I started 10 years ago with Lipitor 5mg, after one year increased to 10mg, insurance company made me switch to Zocor 10mg. After switching with another ins company had to go back to Lipitor 10mg, had to switch again to Zocor 20mg, then my doctor took it to 40mg along with 1,000mg of niacin. Switch again to Lipitor and back to Zocor, all this transpired within a 10 year period. I have always been extremely active and very muscular. One day I noticed twitching in the upper part of both arms. When I visited my doctor, his first words where stop the Lipitor now. Within the next three months I had extreme body tremors, full body muscle cramping, extreme night sweating (would soak the sheets) and had a vibrating (it was like a humming sensation) sensation in my whole body 24/7. It's been two years now since I stopped taking this poison and I now suffer with a great deal of muscle loss in my hands, forearm, upper shoulders, butt area and feet. I have difficulties with balance, holding my bladder when I feel the urge to urinate, severe pain, difficulty lifting my arms to my head and difficulty with my speech. The sweating and vibrating feeling has gone now however my quality of life is not anything to talk about. If I new then what I know now about this statin drug I would have never takin it. If any one knows of any ways too reverse these side effects, please e-mail me at ******

Omnicef did get rid of my son's ear infection, however, he developed Pollakiuria (feeling the urge to urinate constantly throughout the day) which may or may not be related to Omnicef. He did have the clay/reddish stool, but that is a known side effect and is not dangerous. I found out that children should not be given vitamins with iron while on Omnicef - too much iron creates the clay colored stool. I did ask my doctor to report the Pollakiuria as a possible side effect. Drug companies appreciate the information and use it to develop their drugs better. Be sure to report the side effects!

I was prescribed this medication for 7 days, one tablet twice a day. After just taking two of these tablets (one @ 0830 and one @ 2030) I broke out with hives/rash, burning (like fire) itch, around my pelvic area and thighs, dry mouth, unable to sleep, and a constant urge to urinate. I have not been in the sun, and have drank plenty of water with this medication as advised. These symptoms have only appeared since taking this medication, therefore I have stopped taking this awful drug. Dr's. office is closed today, but will be in to see her tomorrow. I will never take this drug again, it is truly horrible.

I had been on my period since December of 2004!!!
May 1,2005 my OBG recommended that I started taking yasmin to regulate my periods. I wish I hadn't!!!!!!! I was very irritable,I experienced nausea, fatigue,depression,dehydration, the constant urge to urinate (every 10-15 minutes.), and the worst was the constant nagging itch in my vaginal area. My vaginal area was so irritated that I could barely touch it to clean or wash myself. I thought this would go away after a few days but it only got worse. I stopped taking the pills 5/19/05 my period has returned, but the side effects are started to go away. If given the choice between Yasmin and a period that may never stop....I'll take the period.

I began taking gabitril almost two weeks ago. I started at 2mgs a day, and got up as far as 4mgs twice a day. My tongue got extremely sore bumps on it and split open in the front center of my tongue. It continued to get worse everyday. I had developed impaired vision, drowsiness (I couldn't keep my eyes open), difficulty concentrating and forgetfulness, lack of energy, dizziness and unsteadyness and urge to urinate frequently. I stopped it five days ago. My tongue began to clear up immediately and was all better 3 days after I stopped it. I am waiting to see about the others.
