I had back surgery in July and was given Norco for about three months. Tapering was some of that. I didn't know that Norco was like Vicodin which the doctor knew I couldn't take. I went from high doses tapering down for three months not knowing that that was what was making me sick. I've been off for five months and have felt horrible all this time. Weak, tired, stuffed head, just sick. What do I have to do to get well.? I had depression about 20 years ago but got well with ECT and anti depressants. I've been taking Effexor and Xanax all this time and have felt wonderful. Now this has made me sick again. Could this have caused more depression? ## Hello, Chris! How are you feeling? Withdrawal effects from Norco wouldn't linger this long after stopping it. They tend to...

I have been taking this drug for 5 weeks and am having almost no side effects except odema--swelling of the legs and hands-anyone else have this--bowels appetite all good and sleeping well Thanks Roger ## Hi Roger I've been taking Xalkori for 11 months and the last seven or eight months have seen an huge increase in oedema of hands / arms and ankles / feet. We're trying various options, decreasing the dose, taking diuretics which has some effect but not if you're hot / flying / walking a lot. I'm guessing we're stuck with it - goodbye to posh shoes and gloves... I've found side effects to come and go. Nausea and bowel issues are my constants although I'm used to it now, and stripy vision at night. But the oedema is by far the most debilitating. ## Hello again...

Its typical side effects are listed as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea. Is he on any other medications?

i've been using nustrate injection for the past 4 months and every time when i have a shot my breasts become sore and ichy.is this one of the side effects? ## Nur-Isterate contains the active ingredient Norethindrone, it is a hormonal injection used to help prevent pregnancy, regulate menstrual cycles and has a few other medical uses. However because it acts on your hormones, "enlarged or tender breasts" and other bodily changes can be common side effects. Other possible side effects to be aware of may include those listed here: nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/a604034.html#side-effects I hope this info helps! ## i have been using unstrate an i was bleeding almost everyday an i stopped but am still bleeding an now i want to be pregnant with my first born please help me

hi, I had a scabies attack, which i treated with permethrin lotion and accompanying oral medicines prescribed to me. However, i still have some itching and little rashes on the penile shaft and tip. Also nodule like itchy structures on the genitalia. I am aplying mometasone furoate cream, but it is not helping. Suggest a quick relief, as I am stuck in a rural area without access to doctors or good pharmacy. I have lobate GM with me as well. will it help? I too have oriel 5mg (levocetrizine) to take orally as well. Probably I hav a re-attack of scabies, but it will be another 10 days till I get proper treatment. So suggest me something. ## All you need is dollar store or Safeway or any store that has isoprofol alcohol beffer known as rubbing alcohol. rub this on those scabiies and you wi...

I need some help/advice/guidance because I'm honestly at a loss as to what is going on with me. At the beginning of the year I had gone to the ER and they said that I had a UTI and prescribed me Cipro and Pyridium to take for a week or so. About a few days into taking the medication I had to stop because it began to make me so sick! Luckily, even with a few left in the bottle, my UTI was cleared when I went for a follow up with my doctor. Unfortunately for me, I have been left with some annoying stomach issues! I'm constantly belching, there are days where I have sever sour stomach (even if I eat a small salad in the middle of the day!) and bouts of nausea. I have taken Florastor for 2 weeks and it did help some but not enough to say I'm back to my old self again.. I'm a...

i started taking this pill since last month for period pains and since when my period finishes i have some serious pains ## Hi, Teresa! How are you feeling? You mean you got pain after your cycle finished and you were no longer taking the medication? If so, then it's likely not related to it. Have you consulted your doctor? Was the rest of your period normal otherwise? Was the blood flow lighter, heavier and/or longer than normal? What type of pain were you taking it to treat, cramping?

I have been taking Nuvigil 150mg before shifts for over 2 years, with the option to repeat the dose, if needed. For the past month I have had heart palpitations, anxiety, paranoia, SOB, depressed, crying, really been a bi---. I never would have thought it was Nuvigil since I had been on it so long. Over the weekend, I had loose stools, didn't have Rx refill. Today, my physician gave me a sample pack, I took one and all those horrible feelings started, again, to the most extreme level. How is this possible? I'm a self-confident, happy woman, whose personality turned to crap. I don't abuse Nuvigil, have no reason to be depressed, haven't started any new medications, yet Nuvigil appears to have turned on me. Has anyone else experienced this? ## Hello, Twinkletoes! How are y...

Are you on any other medications? Has anything in your diet changed recently? Have you had this checked out by your doctor? ## Hi... I'm currently experiencing all the side effects of an allergic reaction to purbac. I have been using it for a month and developed this allergic reaction. I would encourage you to STOP using Purbac immediately. I was in hospital for 2 weeks. It's not a medication to play around with i...

I was on ciprofloxin for a persistant ear infection, I felt good while on the antibiotics but now they have finished I feel generally lethargic, a upset stomach and a slight ear ache. Could this just be an after effect as the antibiotics wear off, because of damage to my immune system? ## this site is not medical professionals, so it is impossible for us to say with any certainty. It is possibly just your body recuperating, however, it is also possible that you are still suffering from the infection and the antibiotic did not entirely clear it up. Have you consulted your doctor, yet? Common side effects to this antibiotic can include: nausea, drowsiness, skin rash and diarrhea. You can read more about it here:

I was on Qsymia for about 16 months with no side effects. I lost 40 pounds at that time. I took a break for about a year and recently in the last 3 months I gained 18 pounds back. I came back to Qsymia but I had terrible side effects. Headaches, ear noise, dizziness. I have been taking it for six weeks and I only have lost 2 pounds during the first two weeks. Right now, I am not losing or gaining any weight. I still feel a dizzy and a little ear fullness. What do you think has changed? Why Qsymia is not working any more and why do I have side effects that I did not have before? ## Time changes everything, including our reactions to medications, sometimes people even discover that they've suddenly developed an allergy to a medication that they had no problem taking for many years.

ive been on cilift for 5 years and went off about a month ago, for the past week i have not been able to sleep, maybe 3-4 hours broken sleep per night, could this be from after effects of long term cilift use ## Cilifit contains the active ingredient Citalopram and if you were taking it for that long, then stopped taking it abruptly, without tapering off, then you are likely experiencing some rebound effects. It can take several weeks before your body readjusts to not having the medication anymore. Learn more Cilift details here. These types of medications work on brain chemicals and after you are on them for awhile, your brain just gets used to having the drug do some of its work. Have you talked to your doctor?

I have taken Lyrica for over three years for serious Neuropathies (Level 10 pain...unable to leave my home or function at all) caused by undiagnosed B-12 and Vitamin D Deficiencies. I started at 150 mg twice a day; however, had to increase to three times a day to more fully deal with the pain. Eventually I reduced it back to twice a day as the pain was controlled (90%) and due to excessive daytime sleepiness. Lyrica saved my life. I am able to work full-time again and do. Most side effects disappeared over time EXCEPT losing word recall at times and weight gain (I diet all the time now). But it is ALL worth it to be nearly pain free... Nerve pain is unbearable. I am a 68-year-old woman and healthy otherwise. ## I'm so very glad that this medication is working so well for you. The me...

Been on Trilipix for three years. Is it possible to develop side effects now. Muscle pain, leg aches, fatqiue. ## Yes, it's always possible for your body to change and to suddenly start experiencing unusual effects from a medication. Have you consulted your doctor? You should do so, as soon as possible, so they can help you determine if it is from the medication and what to do, if that is the case. ## Trilipix contains the active ingredient Fenofibric Acid. Back pain, diarrhea, dizziness, headache, heartburn or indigestion, nausea, sore throat, stomach upset, and upper respiratory tract infection appear to be the most common adverse effects reported with Fenofibric Acid. Other more serious side effects can include: "Severe allergic reactions (rash; hives; itching; difficulty bre...
