Side Effects for Primaquine (primaquine phosphate)
Dark urine and mild indigestian
PRIMAQUINE (PRIMAQUINE PHOSPHATE): Primaquine is used with other medications to prevent and treat malaria caused by mosquito bites in countries where malaria is common. Malaria parasites can enter the body through these mosquito bites, and then live in body tissues such as red blood cells or the liver. Primaquine is used after other medications (such as chloroquine) have killed the malaria parasites living inside red blood cells. Primaquine then kills the malaria parasites living in other body tissues. This prevents the return of the infection. Both drugs are needed for a complete cure. Primaquine phosphate belongs to a class of drugs known as antimalarials. The United States Centers for Disease Control provide updated guidelines and travel recommendations for the prevention and treatment of malaria in different parts of the world. Discuss the most recent information with your doctor before traveling to areas where malaria occurs. (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

Downed a bottle containing fifty 220mg aleve hoping to die. It's been eh 17 hours since I swallowed them...My side effects are severe left-side abdominal pain, sharp pain in lower back, considerable difficulty in breathing, and over time my fatigue has went from severe in the beginning to minimal now. Kidney infection pretty much confirmed.
diarrhea all the time, less of an appetite, chapped lips, difficulty falling asleep, sometimes a headache, hallucinating (only once), teeth clinching, and I think that's about it.

By day 3, I had a pretty scary dizziness episode, shoulder/neck/arm pain, eyes felt constantly dry, blurred vision. Still have slightly dry eyes, light headed, foggy feeling, affected vision, and slight shoulder/neck pain even after 5 or 6 days off the drug.
Im still trying to figure out if this medication is going to work for me. It has helped with my anxiety and nervousness that I usually have everyday but the swelling in my hands and feet are starting to worry me along with the joint pain. Has anyone else experienced this??
I had a high feeling when taking this in the past but, this time I feel great. I think the issues people are having is not being aware that you can CV consume ZERO alcohol. This includes extracts and per the new labeling AVOID PROPYLENE GLYCOL as well. It is in food and cosmetics. These cause dangerous side effects and illness.
My mother (84)started taking to "help her meomory" and within 3 weeks she was very agitated and at a new, higher level of anxiety that led to a trip to the hospital for "chest pains". She was off of it for @ 2 weeks and seemed to level out and then (per Dr.'s receommendation) started again and now, three weeks later, her agitation and anxiety in increasing...again.We are taking her off of it again.
Visual hallucinations that went on for hours and were so engrossing that it was impossible to fall asleep. For example, after I took Ambien, my pink telephone would come to life. It would start breathing and scuttling back and forth on my desk like a crab. My husband finally got fed up because not only were these nightly visions keeping me awake, but my Howard Cosell-esque reporting of them kept him awake too.
No side effects. Worked great just take it with a big meal each time you take it.
It's working wonders for my allergies, but with my side effects and seeing all these negative reviews I think I'll see about switching to something else!
