Albenza (albendazole) Side Effects, Uses Dosages

Side Effects for Albenza (albendazole)

Ravenous appetite, couldn't stop thinking about food, craving fatty/rich foods, out of it, not fully cognitive.

I actually believe that my symptoms were from die off (Herxheimer) and not side effects of the medication. You are killing bugs which release toxins into your blood stream when they die so you may feel badly for a while.

I took this medication while I had Giardia - I had to finish it before I could take the Giardia medication so I'm not sure I had any side effects from Albenza

After 3 days I have headaches and subtle hand tremor. Slw thinking as well.

Extreme mood swings, anger, inability to cope with even the slightest disagreement, screaming, drowsiness. General insanity.

When used as directed, chew a little then stick between cheek and gum, I don't seem to have any side effects other than addiction. However, I floss daily and brush regularly so that probably has helped me avoid dental problems. My dentist seems very limited on whether this is safe or not but says to keep moving it around my mouth and not over use in one area. I do experience minor inflammation of my gums if don't rotate the gum to different areas of my mouth. No hair loss that i'm aware of though, after reading some comments, I find myself wondering if my skin is affected. What I thought was past years of over exposure to the sun may very well be worsened by my use of nicolette. I certainly didn't plan to use for 5 years but here I am addicted hoping to quit soon. My cardiologist and regular physician say it's much better than cigarettes which keeps me believing it's not dangerous - basically permission to go forth and chew! As an important note, I do not have any health condition

I was switched from metoprolol to labetalol when I became pregnant. I have no complaints so far. Metoprolol worked great for me, as far as keeping my fainting at bay, but it made me so tired. I felt a huge energy increase when I started labetalol. I haven't experienced any fainting with it so far.

Only two or three pills are needed to wipe out a horrible migraine; however, one should wait three days before taking another pill. Otherwise, a rebound migraine will occur! Many doctors seem to not know this and don’t prescribe it for migraines. This is a pity as fiorinal is magic if used this way!

Burning, itching, swelling, bumps, dryness, vaginal pain, cramps, overall uncomfortable

Some headaches. No period. No bloating no loss of sex drive. However I do have weird dreams. I haven't had spotting or any period at all. It just depends on the person.

Nausea, weakness/pain in arms, bad insomnia, extreme bloating, bleeding, chills, negative thoughts, anxiety, loss of sex drive, oily skin, skin irritation, and itching all over the body.

Initially,I did get a reduction of the tingling and mild pain, but I have recently noticed a sudden onset of severe deep aching and occassionally shooting pain in the side of one leg upon arising.Sometimes the Lyrica helps, and sometimes it doesn't. I do not like the mental side effects and the balance issues. I am VERY sensnitive to all drugs that effect the nervous system. I got off of Neurontin becuase although I was pain and "tingle" -free, I was so sleepy I wold sometimes lose alertness while driving. (Scary)I do not like the mental confusion. I have always been a "chatterbox" and a little disorganized, but I am so constantly losing things, am unable to focus on the most pressing issue, and continously procrastinating that I really do not know if I will stay on this drug. It is affecting my job performance and ability to perform daily household tasks.I am a type 1 diabetic for 40 years, have used an Insulin pump for 4 years, and I am in good contr

Extreme aggressive behaviour, hitting, kicking, yelling. Turned a wonderful little boy into someone we didn't know. His preschool teachers reported having to segregate him from the other kids because of his hitting all day. Normally a very loveable and affectionate child. Always high energy but while on medication unable to shut him down. Constant night terrors, wouldn't sleep for 9 nights in a row. Out of three physicians nobody informed us of these possible side effects. After weeks of no sleep and inability to calm him down we researched it on the internet only to discover that everyone else had experienced what we were dealing with. We are kicking ourselves for letting this go on for five weeks before we asked why he was like this. We thought it was the trying three's. He complained of a sore penis as well as a "belly ache" every night within an hour of taking the medication. He cried all the time and needed constant reassurance and wanted us with him all the ti

This is just about the only pain medication I have found that I do not build a tolerance to. I take for two weeks then suffer for two weeks to keep from forming addiction.
