Wee hours symptoms and conditions

Astonishing! My 8-year-old daughter, whose age your 6-and 9-year- old perfectly bracket, began mentioning "depression" yesterday; a word we didn't know she KNEW.

It became a real concern at dinner tonight, when we had 2 favorites, French bread and broccoli, (and spaghetti, which she also likes). She wanted none of it, and said she was depressed and it was causing her not to be able to eat, though she said she had "eaten anyway" yesterday even though not wanting to. We have never discussed depression or its effects with her! She DID learn to speak long before her peers, so after stressing enormously during the meal, during which we asked her if there were "mean girls" (only one, especially mean, anyway; only a few mean, etc.) we were pretty upset, and she had red face & tears, all very unusual.

We DID wonder if this weekend's weekend's 1 a.m. trip to emergency room for strep throat and amoxicillin injection (she asks for injections, these last 3 years, being quite a food connoisseur, she can taste oral meds mixed with ANY tricky bait) but always got Rocephin; even one in each leg, last time, as her weight called for double injections, as it is apparently an unusually irritating injectable....So we questioned her closely about whether her throat or any part of her still hurt, or if she felt sick. Negative. (as I write this, she informs us she was depressed from Thursday; she received injection at 1:45 a.a.m. in the wee hours of Thursday morning)

Back to narratie: we had been gratified for ONE simple injection this time, and "--cillin" part of drug name, plus familiar milky oil suspension appearance of intra-muscular drug reminded us of OUR days of painful but unusually effective "plain vanilla" penicillin shots, which we reassured her about (yeah, we've paid our dues too, daughter) after the typically achy injection.

By dinner tonight, our daughter seemed so upset, and yet so unusually grown up in saying she was "depressed" and that she had prayed that it end, to no aviail, I got up from dinner and Googled "amoxicillin, depression" and VOILA, "two daughters" response and next response so amazingly similar, I printed them and took them to dinner table, to have her read aloud to us complimenting her on how grown up she was to describe herself as depressed. (Also, she received 5 minutes of reading towards going to Fiesta Texas on a reading program! but, how many kids will have "Amoxicillin and depression--5 minutes" on their reading logs, I wonder...Her pre-med sister called while she was reading, another treat! God is good.

Thanks for taking time to post this! I am only now learning that there is no need to argue or feel alone, confused for long about much of anything anymore, or rely on just one friend or medical practitioner--Until they censor the 'net, just GOOGLE IT. Bless you. -- And, any men, google "bladeless vasectomy" or "******" and read my 8-year long compendium of vasectomy side effects doctors don't know or don't talk about.

Ednorandrewrowe, and wife, and much-cheered-up daughter!

Have had the flu for 6 days, taking 500 mg 3 times a day for accompanying bacterial infection on the chest. I had 40º temperature for the first four days felt awful due to that but now on reflection I believe the amoxicillin is causing mood problems; feeling furious about insignificant things, crying triggered by sad news stories (I am a man) waves of hopelessness and depression, today I sat in the kitchen and wept feeling pessimistic and overwhelmed by life.

The first 2 days that I felt ill I had no negative mood, just fever and headache, before I started taking the antibiotic. Also I think the first dose caused me to vomit.

I have just started taking Yasmin TWO DAYS AGO at six in the night. I have already suffered from nausea. I went to bed feeling nauseated the second night hoping it would go away.....it didn't. I got up in the wee hours of the morning with the sensation to throw up. I eventually threw up, this relieved me somewhat. But i was still not at 100%. I have taken Microbal while breastfeeding and have had no side effects and just two days of taking Yasmin i'm already feeling some of the COMMON SYMPTOMS AS DESCRIBED BY MANUFACTURERS OF YASMIN. How can they expect someone to function while feeling nauseous. They have statd that the symptoms may subside after three months but i can't wait the long to feel better. it's no worth it even though this pill claims to have other benefits such as acne prevention.

I was given this med. and within a few hours the Uti was better but I felt like I had the flu, disoriented, increased appetite then no appetite, I felt like I was in someone elses body looking out and I got severely anxious and annoyed with my 2 toddlers antics that I usually find amusing and adorable. I couldn't sleep till the wee hours of the morning 2 nights in a row and finally I realized what is going on and came online to look up the meds thinking i was crazy for thinking they were affecting me and found this site. I just chucked the bottle of em in the garbage, deep down so my kids cant get a hole of them. I pray these don't have lasting effects on my body. Im so glad my daughter was weaned from Nursing 2 weeks ago, cant imagine what they would do to a baby. Thanks for listening. So glad I found this site. ITS NOT JUST ME.

Excessive stretching upon early morning awakening. I wake up in the wee hours of the day and can not get back to sleep. During this time I feel an uncontrollable need to stretch like one does normally in the morning. I must stretch 10-15 times before I have to get up!

I have been on NuvaRing for a little less than a year. My OBGYN prescribed it. It was my first time using birth control. I noticed 2 things right away - I was a lot more calm/non-chalant and I had lessened sex drive. I thought the latter was due to my nervousness about my boyfriend pushing it up too far for me to fish it out again and maybe at first that was part of it. But it's gone from overactive to almost non-existent (little physical desire, mostly emotional & love desire). I think normally there such be a balance. Also it is difficult to have an orgasm now - I have to really concentrate. My calmness was great in that it balanced out my highs and lows, but now it's to the point that I mostly don't really care about anything one way or the other. Too non-chalant. I also am experiencing depression for no or irrelevant reasons - so bad that it's kept me out of work and even - yes - even the shopping mall! I have no desire to go outside and do anything - grocery shopping, shopping, shopping, walking around or anything - which I thought at first was a good thing for the shopping, shopping. Like most of the posters I could just lay around and sleep and eat all day. With the sleep - I can sleep, but I am NEVER tired. I can stay up until the wee hours of the morning without a yawn like it's the afternoon and I still wake up very early. With the food - I can eat multiple times in a row - full meals. I'm always hungry and never full/satisfied. I am constipated with hard stools. This was an issue until I got off of partially hydrogenated oils (about 2-3 years ago), however even with my altered diet I've still been having issues. My thighs have been falling asleep - weird. Also I can't remember anything from one moment to the next - which I blamed on stress and age. I discontinued NuvaRing as of today (the day I found these posts). Thank you for being so honest & for sharing your experiences. Hopefully these posts will help others in search of answers.

I am having tingling burning sensation in my feet, legs and hands and arms. My blood pressure was not improving on 5 mg so I upped it to 10 and those symptoms are much worse. The tingling sensation goes all the way up my left arm and up above my knees on my legs.

I have tried to take the Lisinipril before and stopped for these same reasons. My doctor does not seem to think that it is due to the Lisinipril. so I tried it again and the burning, burning sensation is driving me crazy and keeping me awake. I have to get up and stand in cold water for a while to get some relief.

I have not read about anyone with the same symptoms. Does anyone out there have these symptoms??

I was diagnosed with a quirky little disease called "Minimal Change Disease" - my kidneys decided that my body did not need any protein, and without any protein in my system, I gained 55 pounds of water weight, along with few other nasty side effects like having cholesterol in the 800's and blood clots in my lungs. At this point, I have been on the drug for a little over three months - 70 mgs for the first 6 weeks, the point at which the disease went into remission. The last 6 weeks, I've been tapering off - and will be off Prednisone by the end of this week. Ironicly, I had been taking a drug that causes water retention to fight a disease that causes water retension. Fortunately, after losing the 50 pound of water weight in less than three days, I didn't see any of the massive weight gain some have reported. I have gained about 8 pounds in the past 6 weeks that I've been tapering off the drug. The only other side effect I had was this euphoric, ethereal feeling I would have about mid-morning where my concentration was that of a 2 year old (I have experience in that because I have a 2 year old), and by mid-afternoon, I would race around the office in a flurry of activity - and get absolutely nothing accomplished. It was a weird sensation - kind of fun, but disconcerting - of being giddy as though I was drunk. I had to really sit down at my desk and force myself to behave and do my work. I also had quite a few nights in which I would wake up in the wee hours of the morning and to force myself to read the dictionary just to fall back asleep. Sure the drug has some nasty side-effects, and can really mess with your head, but so can being a 200 pound albino blueberry. And there were no Oompa Loompas around to take me down to the juicer. As to the side effects, I realized that the euphoria wasn't permanent, and I had to have a bit of fun with it when I could, and as to the weight gain, five pounds is nothing - though, there is much in my closet right now that I can't wear.

I loved this drug after I had knee surgery, I was of course kidding myself because I was delusional. I was so high all the time I to this day do not remember too much of what I did. The high is not worth the low ladies and gentlemen. I thought everything was fine and I was very happy until I almost burned the house down because I did not care what happened to me or anyone else as long as I had this drug. I would stay up late at night every night and do things I had never done, like watch tv until the wee hours. This is a very addictive drug, stay away from it because when you have to stop taking it you almost go crazy. It is dangerous and should have a scull and crossbones on the side of the bottle.

I'VE BEEN ON EFFEXOR FOR THE PAST 2AND A HALF YEARS. BEFORE THAT, CELEXA. BEFORE TAKING EFFEXOR MY MIND WAS SHARP AND I HAD PLENTY OF ENERGY TO CARRY ME INTO THE WEE HOURS OF MORNING. NOW I CAN'T HARDLY FIND THE ENERGY TO GET THROUGH THE DAY. MY HOUSE IS NEVER CLEAN ANYMORE, I HAVE NO DESIRE TO EVEN TRY. AND THIS IS FROM A WOMAN WHO'S HOUSE USED TO STAY VERY CLEAN. MY TRAIN OF THOUGHT RAMBLES AND I CAN NO LONGER CONVERSE WITH MOST ADULTS. I FORGET THE APPROPRIATE WORDS TO USE. I MAKE MY LIVING WRITING. I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO WRITE ANYTHING DECENT IN THE PAST TWO YEARS WHICH HAS CAUSED MY BUSINESS TO SUFFER. A YEAR AGO MY DOCTOR TRIED TO CHANGE ME FROM EFFEXOR TO WELLBUTRIN. I FELT ASTHOUGH I HAD LOST MY MIND. I CRIED CONSTANTLY AND NOT THINKING RATIONALLY,SUDDENLY DECIDED TO SELL MY HOME THAT I LOVED DEARLY. NEEDLESS TO SAY WITH MY LUCK, IT SOLD RATHER QUICKLY LEAVING ME WITH NO WHERE TO GO. THINKING THE WELLBUTRIN CAUSED ALL THIS CONFUSION, NEVER THINKING ABOUT POSSIBLE WITHDRAWAL FROM EFFEXOR, I STOPPED THE WELLBUTRIN AND STARTED AGAIN ON THE EFFEXOR. I TOLD MY DOCTOR ABOUT LOSING MY MIND AND SELLING MY HOME AND WAS TOLD HE FELT I MAY BE BI-POLAR. TALK ABOUT DEPRESSION! I WANT TO THANK EACH OF YOU THAT HAS POSTED ON THIS WEBSIGHT YOUR BATTLES WITH THIS SO CALLED WONDER DRUG. AT LEAST I FEEL I MAY HAVE A CHANCE OF GETTING BACK TO NORMAL IF I CAN BEAT THIS HABIT. I'M AS ADDICTED AS ANY JUNKIE TO ANY STREET DRUG AND HAD ALWAYS PRIDED MYSELF ON BEING CLEAN EVEN AS I GREW UP IN THE FREE LOVE AN DRUG GENERATION. ALL I CAN SAY IS GOD HELP US ALL.

After taking Lipitor for over 6 years and it was controlling my cholesterol, I was taking 60mg Lipitor. I began to get a terrible burning in my toes creeping up into legs, stomach,breasts,arms and hands, face, tongue, mainly at night in the wee hours of the morning. Insomnia. Burning urine, faeces. rash in groin area, yeast infections. I came off of Lipitor after having these side effect for a year and a half as the doctors refused to believe that the Lipitor was causing my symptoms.
Side effects disappeared when I came off, not totally but gradually going. Put back onto 20 mg Lipitor after many tests showed that my cholesterol was very high again and research team suggested I be on 80mg Lipitor. Specialist however, on my insistance, weaned me back onto Lipitor by giving me 20mg, which brought my cholesterol back to normal, ( Note that the same results were achieved by a much lower dose), proving that I was being overdosed. After being on just 20mg Lipitor, the burning returned but the specialist said that it was keeping the cholesterol controlled, so he would suggest a drug that people with Parkinson's Disease take, to make me sleep and not feel the burning. I took myself off of Lipitor altogether.The burning was disappearing again. I don't have Parkinson's, so why should I take a drug to mask my side effects. At present I am taking 250mg niacin and 10mg Pravacol and the burning has returned. I feel as if these statin drugs are going to KILL me. I have to get another appointment with my doctor, but at this point I am scared of the medical profession as they do not seem to know what to do and I am at high risk. I want to mention that I had rheumatic fever as a child and cannot take large doses of any medications. Nobody will listen to me. My overall cholesterol is 7.5 JU Ontario Canada

Hi again. I wrote in about 10 days ago reporting that I had switched from Diovan to Lisinopril, and suspected Lisinopril was causing increased anxiety/depression. Just to be sure, I ran this past a psychiatrist who confirmed that what happened was a "classic drug reaction". I would take 10mg. lisinopril at bedtime. Within minutes, I would feel wide awake and agitated. I could not "turn off", even though I was tired. It would take some time to get to sleep. (The last few days that I took the drug, I paced circles around the house until the wee hours of the morning!) During the day I felt confused and anxious, and in the late evenings felt emotionally and physically exhausted and depressed. I had a hard time solving even simple problems. Then I would take that day's bedtime dose, and the cycle would start over.
After stopping the Lisinopril and switching back to Diovan, I noticed almost immediate improvement. It felt like a fog had lifted. In just a week I was pretty much back to normal. No need for SSRIs! I am not pleased that my insurance company is pushing this drug and plan to voice a complaint and register my concerns. In the meantime, I am paying for the Diovan out of pocket, and will be much more cautious about any future changes!
Best wishes to all...
