I wanted to drive into a semi truck, irritable, most- severe depression of my life, terrible taste in mouth, stomach-ache, eye burning.
Do not take if you are bipolar. The doctor said the drops would not be absorbed systemically. He was wrong. I almost killed myself.
Anxiety, depression. Eye aches after putting in drops. Dizziness, insomnia, nausea, Wake up every hour on the hour. Tossing and turning.
I have a constant cough from drainage from the med and after being on this stuff 4 times a day for several months I have became sick at stomach and diarrhea.Dizziness.I pain in my legs and cant sleep very much.It says it cant be absorbed in the body but I think it does.I feel so bad all the time.I now found out my magnesium is out of whack and kidney function is slowing.I had the Dmek surgery which is cornea transplant and was told the med will be for life.If this continues Im not going to have a life.I wish someone could give me some info on this and guide me in the right direction.
Runny nose, flu like symptoms, depressed, no energy
I thought I had covid but its negative, I felt that sick for a month. I finally realized the drops could be an issue. They go right down my throat and then I start coughing, I'm using tissues all the time and I'm sleeping a lot. I taper down this week so I'll see what happens.
UGH. They love to say this is not absorbed systemically, but it rolls down your tear duct, and from there down your throat. Same side effects as oral steroids--felt moody, aggressive, depressed, can't sleep, agitated, joint pain.
I'm reducing the dosage, instead of 4x a day, do 3x a day, then the next week, instead of 3x a day, 2x a day, etc. Because I cannot continue on like this indefinitely.
Cushingoid symptoms, weight gain
Used this long-term at high doses, then tapered. Was told this could not be absorbed systemically. However there are a few case reports in the literature of systemic effects, and I appear to be another. Based on moon facies, Cushingoid appearance, geneticist took me off the med and advised me not to use it in the future.
Mild stinging in eye; unpleasant bitter taste drips down into back of mouth; ears ringing; probabably also related to cold/allergy symptoms (scratcy throat, congestion, post-nasal drip).
I don't know what would happen if I didn't use this after DSEK surgery - maybe nothing, or maybe the graft would have failed by now. I am also using Xibrom anti-inflammatory. I will stop the Xibrom soon but unfortunately I'm supposed to use the Pred Forte indefinitely, eventually at 1 drop per day. Both of these can cause worse problems than I have so far.

Dry cough and swallowing problems.
This pill was horrible for me. I was a crazed lunatic on it. It caused uncontrollable anger. I had to stop taking it before I seriously hurt someone or myself:( Not sure what I'm going to try after this because this one has scared me pretty good! I feel sorry for my family having to deal with me.
I occasionally feel groggy. I have also gained a great deal of weight. My neurologist believes some of it comes from gabapentin. (60 pounds)
trouble sleeping, frequent urination
I have been on Reglan for almost 4 months. For the past couple of months I have been experiencing hives and my asthma/lungs are in very bad shape. I have also been severly depressed and anxieous throughout the course of taking Reglan. I now feel like my skin is crawling and during the entire 4 months I have also experienced swelling of my face, ankles and legs periodically. Recently, within the past couple of weeks, I have been having uncontrolled movement of my tounge, tingling in my mouth, throat and legs, experiencing a toxic taste in my mouth, leg restlesness and leg pain, lower back pain (feels like kidney pain), extreme fatique and insomnia, brain fog, nausea; and now that I have stopped the drug, my symptoms are even worse.It never occured to me during the four months of taking this medication that I was experencing side effects.Mostly, I just want to know if you have overcome your symptoms and how long it took you to feel normal again. I hope that there is an
Tired, mild depression the next day sometimes
Received my second Shingrix vaccine January 27th 2023 @ 11am. By 1pm I had a fever of 102.5 a red raised itchy rash erupted on my chest down my stomach. My joints were extremely painful exhaustion headache chills. The actual injection site was painful but compared to the other reactions it was manageable. Literally felt I would die that night. Today is February 9th and I am still fighting the red itchy burning rash all over my chest and neck. I would not recommend this vaccine to anyone.
I am taking Aldara because I have had many spots burnt off with liquid nitrogen on my face, hands and back over last 10 years (South African sun is vicious on a freckly skin). Nitrogen treatment does not remove the skin cancer for more than a few years. Every so often I have to go back and have new skin cancer on the edges of the old sites or the old sites themselves burnt off. So now I am trying Aldara. Aldara causes the sites to which the cream is applied to flare up as well as other surrounding seemingly clear areas where there is hidden skin cancer. For instance on my back the 2 large older areas measuring over 1 inch by 0.5 inch are now surrounded by about 15 other smaller spots where the aldara has activated my body to find skin cancer. The result is series of crusts measuring the size of my hand. On my face I was treating 2 main spots. The aldara has found several old sites and a few new ones. The 7- 10 sites have crusted over and the crusts are now beginning to break off,
It saved my life. I'm angry that I have to work much harder than before to grasp concepts and learn new info. But I am so grateful that it works for me, because I would not be alive without it. I am terrified that one day it will stop working.
My son now(1 year later), is exceeding most, if not all expectations at school(kindergarten), well behaved at home, and actually will sit and read books with an adult and not be racing around the room. Even his pre-K teacher, who we went back to visit, could NOT believe he's the same child! I am SO glad we took him off it, we will NEVER go back. I was interviewed by a Fox tv station in DC for this topic and can't wait to see what(if anything) comes from it.
