Januvia and night sweats

In addition to night sweats (which were not a problem for me during menopause), I've had a headache for the month I've been on Januvia. Shoulder & knee pain have increased - I went to an orthopedist; didn't know it might be Januvia until reading these posts. My libido has disappeared entirely! I have absolutely no desire for sex; in fact I find it an irritation. This has NEVER been a problem for me. Has anyone else experienced this as a side effect of Januvia? I quit my Januvia this morning; it didn't affect my blood sugars at all. Going back to low-carb eating brought things under control again.

I have felt poorly since October 2006. Sugar levels ranging from the 450-550 range. My G.P. who is a fantastic dr. put me on Januvia in January of 2007. Range of sugar levels did not change much Sent me for blood work found many abnormalities and in March 2007 I was diagnosed with a bone marrow plasma cell cancer call multiple myeloma (not a side effect of Januvia I'm sure). I am I'm the hospital now for a second time because of severe abdominal cramping. Looks like lower bowel problems. Have not been on Januvia for five days now. ***************My right shoulder feels better, I can raise my arm above my head, no night sweats, no bloody nose, my eczema is clearing up, no pain in joints or rest of my body (thought pain was associated with cancer which is considered inactive since April 2008, I have slept through the night, no pain meds for the last three days, no nightmares, no stomach pain, no coughing, chest not feeling congested, I can get out of bed w/out having to stand for a few minutes by the bed-side because of dizziness, not feeling like a truck ran over me in the middle of the night in the last three days, and most of all I have more energy. To many side effects !!! All of these side effects I thought were a possible result of my cancer although my oncologist did not think so and we still believed that there was some other underlying problem(s). THE UNDERLYING PROBLEM(S) IS JANUVIA !!! Thanks for reading. God Bless You All. Great Health to All.

I have been experiencing the following side effects after taking Januvia for the last year. Night sweats, nightmares, GA (which is fatty tumors on my left forearm I have about 40 of them), arthritic type pain in my left shoulder and left hip that radiates down the arm and leg. eczema on both hands SEVERE. I have quit taking the blood pressure medicine (used only as precautionary) cholesterol meds, and prozac for a week now and am very sternly watching my diet!!! and exercise regularly, I have yet to quit my diabetic medicine but will quit one at a time to figure out which is causing my side effects. I believe the drug companies are making a killing off all these drugs that make me feel like crap. I am taking more herbs, vitamins and like I said eating HEALTHY. I won't even use splenda or sweet and low, Have been using Stevia if I use any sweeteners at all.

severe arthritic pain, body is turning to cement, heart out of rhythm, sky high blood pressure, palpations up the back from the kidneys, vivid dreams, night sweats, swelling, cold hands and feet, sore throat, dried bloody sinus, over all restlessness, headache, stomach pains. Been on Januvia for 3 months these showed up after one month and got worse each week. Went off and started feeling better right away, still have the arthritic pain in my shoulder and arm hoping it will leave. Also still having some heart rhythm problems.

I've been taking Januvia for 8 weeks, and have experienced muscle cramps with shock-like pain running down my leg into my heel; upper and lower GI spasms; night sweats with sleep interruption; and I gained 5 pounds in the first 4 weeks which I can't attribute to anything else. I've also taking metformin and glyset for several years, and although I've experienced the night sweats, they've greatly increased in intensity.
