Side Effects for Afinitor (everolimus)
Tiredness that got better. Edema in ankles after several years. Hair thinning.Joint pain
After 5 years on Afinitor doctor said I should consider going off of drug. It can cause high blood sugar and high cholesterol. I had neither of those but opted to go off. 7 months off only monthly hormone injection and cancer still stable.
Palpitations, elevated blood glucose, leg pain, headache, nose bleeds
This drug needs to be off the market. There are too many side effects. One of the main ones, rising glucose levels have thrown patients into Diabetes.

When I first started the pill I rarely had a period, but now for the past four months or so I have been having my period every other week practically, very frustrating. My doctor said I would need to take this because of my migraines, but my migraines haven't gone away.
I've only been taking it for three days and i've already experienced really bad diziness and i have a respitory infection. But that means it is working because it's draining my nose out. Just the dizzy times are overwhelming and i've had verrrrrry weird dreams!
fatigue, insomnia, swollen feet with soles of feet red and burning so sometimes I can hardly walk, cannot walk for exercise, cannot do water aerobics because feet hurt even when I wear swim shoes. Excessive nightime urination. I am becoming an invalid. Has lowered BP during day but if I take it when waking during the night it is quite high.
I know without a doubt it was the Aleve that caused this reaction. Although I had taken Aleve several other times in my life without a reaction I will never take this drug again. And in seeing how many people had reactions to this drug just through this website it shouldn't even be available to anyone, especially over the counter.
I just took my first 30mg does of Cymbalta about an hour ago after my doc gave me some samples. Should have read these posts first. So concerned by the overwheliming negative comments on both this site and others on the web relating to Cymbalta use. I have mild depression/anxiety and have been on either Lexapro or Prozac for a number of years. This drug does not appear to be worth the troubles. Just hope the one 30mg dose does not result in the harsh reported withdrawals. Prozac was difficult enough to get off of.
I took this as directed and everything was fine until the evening, right before dinner. I began experiencing severe stomach pains, nausea, then had painful, severe diarrhea which was extensive. I was sick all night. Discontinued immediately. This medicine is evil and should be taken off the market!!
I feel like a totally different person. I’m anxcious, crying all the time, can’t concentrate. I am always a happy positive person but this has made me feel horrible. I will try it for 3 months and see. I need to ask my gynaecologist is it actually worth it and will it help me in the long run??However bowel symptoms have settled as has heavy bleeding
bloody nose,hoarseness, post-nasal drip, constant infections and flu symptoms, conjuctivitis
Took 50mg at 10pm last night. Slept good, but woke up groggy. Its 3pm and I've got a bad headache, really tired, my neck hurts and dry mouth. Headache is a 6 or 7 on pain scaleI'm afraid to take any tonight, don't want this headache to get any worse.
I am glad I read some of these comments; now I know that my memory loss may not be senility after all. I just received my fourth shot and will discuss a date for surgery with my doctor. After years of constant heavy bleeding, not to mention the accompanying lack of energy, I did not remember how it was to feel normal. A couple of days ago I bought a pair of sexy underwear knowing that they would not be ruined. I did gain about 20 lbs and I am still looking for "motivation"- I thought I had missplaced it and just could not find it anywhere- I am constantly changing clothes because I feel hot all the time. I have a fan right in front of my face at work. My speech is choppy and the words hide somewhere in dark corners of my brain right when I need them. I was concerned with Alzheimer but it seems that a lot of people experience some of these symptoms and, in a way, I am glad it may be Lupron and not a --what's the word?-- desintegrating brain power? Now the question is, are
