Welt symptoms and conditions

All i can say is WOW-
i am so relieved- i have mild to moderate OCD/anxiety which has not been diagnosed "officially", but i have done a lot of research on this and i definitely am-
my Dr tried me on wellbutrin first, which i had a lot of freaky side-effects- twitching, Bruising and Crazy Itching- i would become itchy, and then scratch- and i would welt up like crazy- of course my doctor determined that i was allergic-
next she tried me on celexa, and wow- that was a mess- besides SEVERE mid-day exhaustion, i had headaches, terrible twitching (so weird!) and SEVERE bruising- i read in the warnings that bruising is very rare, but can happen- my palms of my hands would bruise, weird spots that you couldn't even hit hard enough to, bruised, it really looked as if i was beat-up at times on my arms- so of course i went off- i had terrible dizziness and major withdrawal from celexa.
now i am on paxil, i really don't like it- it did not do anything for my OCD and anxiety, and i actually felt depressed on it- i have decided to ween myself off, and now have awful nausea(all day and night) severe dizziness,depression, and i almost feel as if i've been drinking (all DAY!), can't sleep, because when i close my eyes i feel the bed spinning, but i'm tired, a bunch of crying, (that i wasn't doing before!) and crazy rage that i can barely control, the rage thing totally scared me, but thankfully it is a lot better today than it was yesterday, and hopefully it will keep getting better! -

i am so thankful for this site because i just thought i was going crazy, and that this was all in my head- someone in a previous post said that people just want to complain on here because she/he thinks paxil is amazing- good for you! it's not for everyone, and i appreciate everyones "complaining" because i now know that, this too shall pass, and i am not losing my mind! i am in search of natural meds, so if anyone has any suggestions, i'd love the post, because i now know that i am not meant to take SSRI's

i wish you all luch in your journey off this "non-addictive" drug-

I lasted for one week on Nuvaring.... put it in on 7/26, took it out on 8/2. I expected some slight hormonal type side effects while my body adjusted to the ring... this is my first hormonal BC ever.... Saturday, I couldn't keep my legs still... jittery and anxious, cramped and so uncomfortable. Yesterday I got a very bad dizzy spell while in the shower. Over the next several hours, the dizzy spells came more frequently and got stronger, to the point where I felt I was going to faint. My heart was pounding, I was sweating, my chest felt heavy, and the room was spinning. First spell was at 6:30 am, I took the ring out at 11:00. The spells continued for the next 1/2 hour or so, and I noticed a huge welt above my ear.... hot and sore to the touch, radiating pain down into my neck. I've also had a stiff neck for days, which I didn't attribute to the ring until reading someone elses posting here. I'm feeling better today, though the symptoms have not completely gone away. I presume it will take 7+ days for this crap to get out of my system.

I have been on Wellbutrin for about 4 weeks for depression. About three days ago, I developed an extremely itchy scalp, which ran down my neck and everywhere else. I have huge welt like hives all over my body and they "move" from area to area. I am going to the doctor tomorrow to find out what is going on with me. My depression is better, but not worth this horrible rash.

I have been on Zyrtec for three years (Every day) haven't noticed mood swings in myself? My mother also takes them every other day and is not particularly moody. Although she has trouble sleeping which she attributes to the menopause But if i don't take one within 24hrs I get very itchy and hive up..now that I'm breastfeeding I've just noticed my daughter is very irritable..and am beginning to think it's related to the zyrtec. I'm changing to claratyne in the morning to see if there's a change..very,very interesting and scary reading all the side-effects!!

My 1 year old was prescribed Omnicef for a possible sinus infection. Before she started taking this med she had a little cough and a runny nose, not that bad at all. The doctor thought she should go on this for 14 days to help. She has been on the med for 4 days, and her symptoms have gotten worse. She is coughing all the time, she is having massive maroon colored runny stools, and she has a horrible diaper rash. She has started to get a welt on her thigh, and rash around her cheeks and chin. I am currently waiting for the doctor to call us back regarding the problems she is having. I am so glad I found this website, and know that I am not being paranoid. My daughter is the most even keeled baby you will ever meet, but the last couple of days she has been crying all the time as if she is in pain. I have stopped the medication and will never allow her to take this medicine again!!!!

I am currently taking a 40mg lipotor. I have devloped chronic hives mosttly on my arms and thighs. The itchng is so bad that I scratch these welts in my sleep. I have been on Plavix 75 mg since my first cardio-chatherization which has made my blood so thin that I actually bleed when I scratch. I'm now in a itch and scratch cycle that keeps me from sleeping. My doctor originally started me on 10 mg. This was before I started having clogged coronary arteries'. I am 74 years old. I have just had my second bypass operation. I started on lipitor 10 mg about eight years ago. I developed a hive like welt in my groin area. This welt or hive itched so bad that I damaged the skin. I went to a dermatoligist and the only answer he had after a biopsy was that it was probably Lichon Planus. I had a triple pass July 18 2007. That is when my doctor increased my lipitor dosage to 40 mg. He had increased it to 20 mg several years. I finally realized that it may be the 40 mg dose that causes me to wake about three hours later with Hives and itching that is so bad that even scratching doesen't relieve the itch.
I have seen two dermotoligsts. They can find nothing that I am allergic to. This condition has gotten progressivly worse over the last three years. I am taking Zanix and Benedryl I have eliminated all of my other medicines as the cause.
The only thing I could see as a possible cause is acute anxiety. After seeing my family doctor he prescribed the Zanix.

My last hope for relief is to get off Lipitor. I stopped taking it two days ago
and I already see a change in this chronic hive condition; I am assuming that it may take a while to see if I have solved my problem.
Incidently I started takng Zocor about three years ago instead of the Lipitor and I had such severe neck and shoulder pain that it was obvious Zocor was the cause.

zocor was the cause

My doctor took me off Lisinopril a few days ago, following hives all over my body &, later, raised welt on my arm. I was also short of breath & felt nauseated & weak. I had to have a shot of Kenalog & he told me to take Benadryl every 4 hours. The rash is finally going away. I had also had pain & stiffness on the left side of my neck, which caused problems getting to sleep. Saw on this site that someone else had experienced this symptom. No one else has reported the first symptom mentioned.

Have zofran pump in my leg I get a big red welt around the area that the needdle is in my thigh.
What does this mean I'm pregnant and taking this medication because I throw up anything I eat. I'm 4 months pregnant and lost about 15 pounds already.'
Help would the pills zofran help more than the pump in my leg.

My mother had severe diarhia, which was yellow, about 3 hours after injection.
