Side Effects for Laxilose (lactulose)
I had awful abdominal pain due to "trapped gas" & incomplete evacuation. I ended up in ER; CTscan turned up no impaction or anything. A nurse tried an enema which didn't work. Finally I was given lactulose & that did it. / Since that trying time (4 mths ago)I discovered peppermint oil caps relieve pain but if I ever get that screwed up again I'll know what to ask for.
Within 10 minutes of taking my first dose (1TBSP) I started to feel 'off'. I began to feel weak, dizzy and spaced out. I tried looking for the 'severe side effects' for this medication because it really was begining to feel as if I was getting a real buzz from it, which was not becoming a pleasant experience.Finally after about 20 searches, I found a site that said: If you experience dizzyness, trouble swallowing, lack of muscle strength, coordination and rash, go to the hospital immediately.Which is exactly what happened!Rushed to the hospital - my throat began to close up, had trouble breathing, bp dropped, my mouth and face muscles began to involuntarily pucker up, and I almost fainted several times. I had a rash that went from the top of my neck to the bottom of my stomach and also on my hands and chest. It was hell!Apparently I was having quite a serious allergic reaction to this medication, and apparently it is rare. I don't have any other problems aside from hypothyr
If you feel anything 'funny' - don't take a chance and go to the hospital!

ONLY THING THAT HELPS WITH THE PAIN IS PREDNISONE. I TAKE 1/2 OF A 20MG TABLET.
I am freaked out because I am bleeding random days though the month. If I miss a pill I have breakthough bleeding. It's a total annoyance. Then when it's time for my period I hardly bleed at all.
A follow up on using Flagyl. Don't drink alcohol or use any products containing alcohol. I'm also prescribed Testim, a gel, which I must apply to my skin. It contains alcohol. I didn't notice a reaction the first three mornings but I noticed it after that. Some people don't have this reaction with alcohol but I sure did--mild to severe Nausea. I'm also starting wonder if the lightheadedness is another result of using this alcohol-based gel.
It took just over a month of not taking Advil for those side effects to go away.

It didn't work for me because of my circumstances it could work for you. Any anti depressant made me manic but I think prozac is one of the better ones.
I was put on Zithromax after coughing for 5 weeks and taking a full course of Amoxicillin. I wish they'd started me on Zithromax -- Amoxi did nothing at all and just delayed my recovery long enough for me to pull some rib cage muscles from coughing. No cough now, but the pain in my ribs still makes it hard to be fully functional.

For 8 months all was OK. Then trouble. By measurement of an unrelated drug it appears my meds were metabolizing faster and levels dropped. At this point I started feeling the shortness of breath, fatigue, memory and concentration issues, etc. Stopped taking the drug and symptoms worse. Got Xray, Stress Test and am waiting for result. Found this site and read the insert after all this stuff so cant say either caused placebo effect. I was told I could go cold turkey. Dubious of this given symptoms. I am going to look for other causes but it thus far seems toprol rots.
