Side Effects for Desoxyn (methamphetamine hydrochloride)
DESOXYN (METHAMPHETAMINE HYDROCHLORIDE): This medication is used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder - ADHD. It works by changing the amounts of certain natural substances in the brain. Methamphetamine belongs to a class of drugs known as stimulants. It can help increase your ability to pay attention, stay focused on an activity, and control behavior problems. It may also help you to organize your tasks and improve listening skills. This medication is also used along with a doctor-approved, reduced-calorie diet as an aid to help significantly overweight (obese) people lose weight. It should only be used for a short time (a few weeks) in patients who have not lost enough weight with other treatments (e.g., dieting, other drugs, group programs). It may work by decreasing your appetite. This medication should not be used to treat tiredness or to hold off sleep in people who do not have a sleep disorder.

I'm calling my doctor tomorrow to get another prescription for ambien. I've tried everything...from lunesta to trazadone. I was hoping Sonata would be effective, but I haven't even begun to get sleepy yet.

severe bone, joint and muscle pain, watery diarrhea, weakness fatigue, flu like symptoms and loss of appetite. Abdominal pain and diarrhea still 4 days later.One time dose on 07/23/2010 did so much damage on 07/24/2010
Went undiagnosed until now after docs thinking it was anxiety and depression and no meds working.. Low and behold I got a 97/100 on the exam to find out if you have ADHD.. imagine that.. I fit every symptom they had and I WISH someone would have diagnosed this sooo many years ago. My life would have def been different if I hadn't gotten bored with everything shortly after starting, and my student loans and background schooling wouldn't be so high.
I took Inderal first for about 8 months, the side effects of this was about the same. Doc changed prescriptionn to Inderal LA thinking that it might be better. NO WAY! Last night I had a very strange dream, woke up in a cold sweat, not knowing where I was. Had to lay there for a few minutes to realize that I was in my own bedroom. My short term memory loss really scares me to, I sometimes I forget the name of very simple things. I am supposed to try Inderal LA for two weeks, that's up on Monday and I'm telling the Doc that I am not taking it anymore.
Stomach cramps for the first week
Had first shot in December, with flu like symptoms and feeling like crap for 3 days. Received 2nd shot in February and symptoms were much worse! Also lasted about 3 days, but then a week later an itchy rash appeared around my mouth. Today 2 months April I am still dealing with the rash! but now I am starting to get little rash like bumps on both arms. I won't ever get it again! Going to dermatologist next week.
Nausea for the first couple of months as we ramped up my dosage. Not as bad as morning sickness from pregnancies. It went away.I have other symptoms, but really, I'm going through menopause and some family trauma. I don't feel as though I can blame Byetta for my body that is struggling.
metallic taste-mild, but persistent; itching-mild, increased appearance of vericose veins and pain in legs/ankles associated with this problem...anyone else experienced this last symptom or is it just me?
Was taking Vasotec, lots of side affects
