chills, fever, muscle aches, increased urination, dehydration headache, extremely tired, itching.
Extreme hair loss that lessened but never stopped.
I started on the once a week dose and had severe pains in all my muscles. I switched to the once a day dose and have not had trouble for about 9 years.
I'm taking this to combat the excessive sweating due to Sertraline. Any movement will cause sweating. Ditropan stopped it within a day. The only odd thing is it acted as a diuretic.
I have penicillin allergy so was prescribed Erythromycin which, up until now, I have had no problem with.
I'm glad I have found it even though it's now become a struggle, at least there is something for the pain.
I am not going to use this medicine any more after this first and last time. I already have digestive issues don't need no More to develop.
None. This is a miracle drug. I was afraid to take it at first because I have allergic reactions to most drugs, but this one did not bother me at all. Just helped me.
When I first stated taking this I experienced terrible itching all over my body and a little constipation (which is easily taken care of). But it gave me the most terrible, sickening migraines which were worse than the pain from the R.A. I was taking it for! Although, it did help ease the pain.
Sore throat, chills, fatigue and SEVERE muscle pain!!
