Side Effects for Isoniazid (isoniazid)
ISONIAZID (ISONIAZID): Isoniazid is used with other medications to treat active tuberculosis (TB) infections. It is also used alone to prevent active TB infections in people who may be infected with the bacteria (people with positive TB skin test). Isoniazid is an antibiotic and works by stopping the growth of bacteria. This antibiotic treats only bacterial infections. It will not work for viral infections (such as common cold, flu). Using any antibiotic when it is not needed can cause it to not work for future infections. (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

Within 10 days, severe leg pains, particularly up and down thighs. Could not fall asleep or stay asleep. Head ache and fever. Stopped taking it three days ago. The leg pain is better but I still have fever and feel my whole body hurts. My doctor told me to wait a few weeks and try another statin but I am really reluctant to do that after this negative experience.
Sick heart beats irregular or stops then picks up scares me doctor says it's not the warfarin he is full of it plus it's breaking me out in different areas of my body
Cronic fatique and sleepiness (which sucks because I have kids at home).
in 1st 6 months i gained 40 lbs, felt nothing, nothing was important to me
i believe it keeps me relaxed enough to fall asleep, but not yet strong enough to keep me sleeping all night. it also really helps with the matrixing and "corner of my eye" shadows. i take 300 at night to relax and make the anxiety a chance to chill out for 8 hours. i also can take 1-100mg for back up if my other panic medication doesnt do the trick. keeps me calm
This drug has been a blessing to me because I was unable to take Plavix(strange mood swings)and injecting Heparin caused worse bruises/pain than the coumadin.The worse part of taking this medication is the embarisment of constantly being covered with bruises;people wonder if my husband is a wife beater.Wearing shorts and a t-shirt,or a bathingsuit is upsetting because everyone stares at my bruises. I tell many people I have a blood clotting disorder,and take medications to treat it; everyone seems o.k. with the reason.The bruises ache and hurt constantly. I will have to take this medication for life(oh joy!!!!)
Light or no period. Slight cramping and lower back pain.
Since I have been taking this horrible medication my life has been a nightmare I feel awful and I have stopped taking this as of today. I called my doctor and told her I am not taking this medication anymore.PLEASE BAN THIS MEDICATION. IT IS HORRIBLE.
Stopped period, mood swings (at first), headaches (at first), acne
My eyes were extremely gritty and stinging - had to stop using and eyes returned to normal
