Severe muscle, bone and joint pain. Low fever. Dizzy. Pain is debilitating. Extreme tightness in my shoulders, neck and back and especially between my shoulder blades. WORST PAIN I HAVE EVER FELT IN MY LIFE!!

Do not...Please do not take this drug...Find another way to lower your sugars.

it took away the pain from my ear, but i ached in my arms and ribs a lot.

I didn't have any major side effects - my vision went blurry - but this cleared after a couple of months - otherwise it was very useful in managing the pain from RSD/ CRPS.

Something has helped my obsessive anxiety go away and my evenings are peaceful, but I seem to be experiencing these side effects longer than anyone else I've heard of. I'm wondering how long to I continue on to see if this is he right medication for me.

Before Lotrel I was taking Ziac. This medication made me light headed and dizzy to the point I was falling into the wall. I have been taking Lotrel for about 1 year now. It seemed everything was going smoothly including the lowering of my BP. I have complained with muscle aches and pains for quite some time now but never associated these pains with the Lotrel. Since June 28, 2005 I have had a horrible cough and associated Bronchitis. I am currently on my third antibiodic. Nothing has helped yet. Just today 8/8/05 my doctor suggested taking me off Lotrel and starting another medication. I am suffering so bad with hip, leg and joint pain that is unexplainable. I had no idea it could possibly be the Lotrel since I have been on this product for this period of time.

After the first IV injection, I had a panic attack severe enough they moved the terminal cancer patient in my room to another room. They gave it to me again with the same panic attack. I protested but received a third dose. I suffered severe panic attacks for the next two years and have had anxiety of varying degrees for the last 18 years. Never did I have a problem with panic or anxiety before. Also, it did nothing for the vomiting. Why is there not a class action suit for this drug??!!

I take generic modafinil. It only works some of the time. Works best if I can take it alternate days, but that is rare. Seems to work best if one is already up, out, and moving.

Fatigue, nausea which kicks in after I eat, decreased appetite, brain feels foggy.

PLEASE REPORT YOUR SIDE EFFECTS TO THE FDA - THAT DRUG SHOULD NOT BE GIVEN TO CHILDREN!!Here's my statement to FDA Medwatch on the fda.gov website:My 7 year old daughter was prescribed Singulair for asthma, 5mg once daily. After two weeks on the drug she began experiencing sudden and severe side effects - including depression, inconsolable crying, bad thoughts, self-hate, paranoia, anxiety, lack of eye contact, obsessive thoughts, low self-esteem, and fear. We stopped the Singulair after three days of these side effects. Now it's been 4 days since stopping the drug and she's slowly recovering. Furthermore, her Pediatrician agrees that Singulair is to blame for her sudden state. This shouldn't happen to a child; this drug shouldn't be prescribed to children at all. This has been a horrible experience for my daughter and my family.
