My 15 year old daughter was prescribed this medication for a sinus infection. By the 2nd day she had a headache and by that night she was having nightmares bad enough that she wanted me to watch her fall asleep. She is now paranoid, anxious, she has slept the entire day for the last 5 days and hasn't wanted to leave the house. I left the house and she called me on the phone very paranoid to the point she asked me not to hang up the phone and she kept asking how long until I come home. I was just a few blocks away and she kept telling me to hurry home. I put her in the car with us just to get out of the house then she said she felt sick and threw up. She hasn't held a full conversation in 5 days and says she feels like she's crazy. I called the on-call doctor's hospital and they surprised a doctor prescribed this to a teenager.

the poison is not recommended for anyone under the age of 18. Get yourself a lawyer but first your doctor needs to get blood tests to see if anything is showing up. It sounds like she had a central nervous system reaction. That's what happened to me. It took months before I got help because no one believed that this could happen to someone after taking a medicine that was supposed to help me.
Get everything documented and sue the fool that prescribed this to your daughter. Can't anyone read any more?????

I also felt crazy,didn't want to be alone among alot of other things.I have been trying to sue but no lawyer will take my case people don't understand how dangerous this drug is.I truley thought i was not going to make it.The first month.I felt like i was detacthed from my body.My mom believed me because she had found this website.It has been 2 years and 3 months and i still have anxiety,and i still feel crazy sometimes.My doctor had told me that with time all the symptoms would go away but they haven't she put me on prozac and klonipin she also looked it up because she couldn't believe the side effects i told her i was having because of the medicine.I was given the medication one evening when i went to the emergency room and i was given 10 free sample pills to take two a day and my life has not been the same since

I have been going through almost the EXACT same thing as your daughter! I am 32 and already had an anxiety disorder (which was under control) but now can't sleep and am paranoid to leave the house. I have learned several relaxation techniques to soothe the panic and help with sleep. Also, Benadryl has helped me with the wierd dreams. A massage will also help rid of the toxins in her body from the drug and relax her. I have one scheduled tomorrow and am hopping a ride with my father. Let her know that there is someone out there experiencing the same thing and that she isn't crazy! God Bless!
