Currently at 50mg, and do not consider my side effects bad at all. They may seem like many, but are actually very insignificant as they aren't too severe (except the thirst). Have not had a seizure in 2 weeks, but am still having auras. Doctor may increase dosage in 4 weeks if my auras do not stop. Overall, I am pretty happy with this medicine :)
I started experiencing my side effects after I stopped taking the medicine after the 7th day. Two days passed, then I all of a sudden began to feel dizzy, totally lost my appetite, my heart rate increased up to 140/88 (normally its 125/75 or something). I got worried, anxiety started to kick in, my temperature rose a bit, began feeling slightly weak, began to worry a great deal. Went to the ER to make sure it wasn't anything major. Doctor said its nothing major, he saw no signs of anything major going on, so he let me go. The next day I was feeling the same. I have had trouble sleeping, sometimes I would sweat a great deal in my sleep and have nightmares. The next day I went to my personal doctor. The doctor examined me, checked me out, and said he found no symptoms of anything serious happening with me. All he could conclude is that this is due to side effects of this tablet, i.e. Prednisone. Its the 3rd day now, I lost 6 pounds in total (water weight possibly? I dont know..) feeling

I began taking ambien about 6 years ago, 10mg and it worked great! then about 4 years ago I began to notice that my mouth was burning the tongue and roof of my mouth, the nerves in my teeth hurt and all of my teeth are numb. My ears hurt and there is pain as well as fullness sensation. My feet tingle, are numb and burn as well as my fingertips.I don't know of it has been my long use of ambien or not. That is my QUESTION; I came off ambien for 6 months and saw no change in my symptoms. Is there anyone out there who has experienced similar symptoms and got better. The doctors are baffled by my symptoms and they are only getting worse.Please reply if you think you can help.I am going to the Mayo Clinic soon for an evaluation.
Only started taking tamiflu yesterday, after being perscribed it due to symptoms such as fever & chills, headache,aching joints and stiffness, diahorrea. Since then I have only taken 2 tablets but the results have been unbearable. The stomach cramps that have come about since starting on the meds are unbearable, I am in agony and sometimes screaming in pain, alongside even more severe diahorrea than before. I know the diahorrea may be due to the flu itself, but the stomach pains are definately due to tamiflu. Wil not be taking it anymore, awful!
Racing Thoughts/ Anxiety/ Insomnia
I was on OTC-Lo for about 5 years. Everything was fine, although I did have some stomach pain and minor weight gain. I went off for about a year and recently started taking OTC-Lo again. It has been a nightmare. I am constantly having mood swings, and feel depressed, which is typically not like me at all. I have spent a few days crying my eyes out for what seems no apparent reason at all. Also, I have noticed dry eyes, stomach pain / bloat, and headaches. I am going to stop after this pack...
I had good and bad with Remeron. I started taking it for my anxiety because all the SSRIs, Prozac, Lexapro, Cymbalta,etc., made me more anxious and jumpy. The first week on Remeron I was in daze but then suddenly my anxiety lifted. After a year on Remeron, I added Lexapro and was able to titrate up to a decent dose without having anxiety. I then stopped taking the Remeron. When I stopped, I immediately lost weight and other Remeron side effects went away. I am now doing fine on the Lexapro but couldn't have managed without first startin on Remeron.
this is my third follow up on here to try to help anybody else going threw this and possibly get any answers from anybody who has made it to the other side, I was given Prednisone (steroid) about a month in and it helped reduce my symptoms significantly, i had a bad reaction to my beta blocker and now am 6 days off it and cant stand up without my heart racing. the symptoms got way way bad in the beginning and have seemed to die down a bit, ive been cleared of the possibly of ulcers (endoscopy) with just mild gi inflammation (took two months to get in there though) im currently about to see a neurologist because i believe my symptoms came from nurve damage this antibiotic caused. if anybody knows anything please feel free to email me. i don't have any answers yet other than the steroid seemed to help alot and my symptoms are subsiding after two months. aside from the racing heartbeat when i stand ( i believe this is withdrawal from the propanalol) if you know anything or can point me in the correct direction please email me.
