Side Effects for Neoral (cyclosporine)
NEORAL (CYCLOSPORINE): Cyclosporine is used to prevent organ rejection in people who have received a liver, kidney, or heart transplant. It is usually taken along with other medications to allow your new organ to function normally. Cyclosporine is also used to treat severe cases of rheumatoid arthritis and plaque psoriasis. In these conditions, the body's defense system (immune system) attacks healthy tissues. Cyclosporine belongs to a class of drugs known as immunosuppressants. It works by weakening the immune system to help your body accept the new organ as if it were your own (in the case of an organ transplant) and to prevent further damage to your joints (in the case of rheumatoid arthritis) or skin (in the case of psoriasis).

Excruciating abdominal pain, nausea, loss of appetite.
Ativan helped me a great deal when I was first diagnosed with panic disorder, a little over a year ago. It worked very quickly and effectively, and I took 1.5 mg/day for the first month until my SSRI (Lexapro) started to kick in. I later lowered the dosage to 2x/day, but often took less. I eventually switched to Klonopin, but after several attempts to wean myself off I'm still taking about .5 mg/day (=1mg Ativan) 6 months later. I plan to switch to Valium soon so I can cut my dose further.A great drug but be careful, it is habit-forming and physically addictive.
I was told to spray twice in each nostril twice daily and assured there were no side effects since it was non-steroid. FALSE! I got the most HORRIBLE headache I've ever had. I became very drowsy, and every time I use the spray, I sneeze literally over 20 times and my nose gets really stuffy. My allergies do mildly subside but the headache is not worth it!

Our daughter had the flu. we took her to after hours clinic as it was on a sunday. we did't want to take a chance. some one had told us that tamiflu needs to be given with in 48 hours. so the doctor came, checked a swab in her nostril, and told us she has the type a flue. as we were nervous after hearing all the hype about swine flu, we expressed all the concerns. i guess, after seeing us all concerned or for all the other reasons, he prescribed her tamiflu, zythrotab anitboitic and cough syrup. I picked up the medicine and logged on to find out about tamiflu. thanks for this site, i decided not to give her tamiflu nor antibiotic. we just treated her as if was normal flu, lots of vitamins, fluids, watched her temperature. as her temp didn't go too high, she had a 3 day flu. didn't go to school for two days and hit the ground running without any pains or sufferings. To me, this swine flue is a hoax to scare people and make money. tamiflu was not needed, we bought it and ready to toss it in the trash.

I was hesitant about starting this inhaler because of the black box warning. FYI...Uncontrolled asthma also increases your chances of death!!!!
Headache, bloating, achy joints, dizziness

I'm prone to BV so I consider myself a professional Metro-Gel user. I've been familiar with this drug for over 5 years, it's second nature to pick up a box of Monistat when I pick up the Metro-Gel with the expectation that as soon as I complete the pink box, I'll hit the blue. It's really no big deal, it's kind of like rebooting your vaginal area...once you're done everything is completely back to normal!!
