Equilibrium

I stopped taking Lipitor, 40 mg daily, a week ago and am now experiencing some dizziness and my equilibrium seems effected. Are these effects to be expected? I'm currently waiting for my refill through express-scripts , but have yet to receive it. I am a 90 year old male and have been on Lipitor for approx. 4 years. ## Yes, some withdrawal effects can occur anytime you suddenly stop taking something that you have been on for a long period of time, because your body gets used to having the medication. You may also experience some nausea and diarrhea. Are there any other questions? ## I stopped atorvastatin a month ago cause of side effects to muscle pain which i still havei now get headaches and nausea is this normal. ## The symptoms you've listed are contraindications aka negati...

I had vertigo about two years ago. A doctor told me that is comes from a possible ear infection which can create an imbalance in equilibrium. For me, the infection can be true because I also have extreme allergies with sinus infections which can also affect my ears. I was given antibiotics and something for nausea and headaches. It went away in two weeks. After two years, after another bout with lots of allergies, I notice some of the same symptoms of vertigo re-appearing...dizziness, nausea, dull headache. I will try the antibiotics again and hope to have the same results. I will let you know.

Small round white pill. Hs letter m ingeained on other side has number 15, fells woozy, dreamy, equilibrium off ## Hi robin, I did find one possible match to this pill you are describing, however I cannot locate a photo of it for verification that the M and 15 are on separate sides. The pill with this imprint is identified as Northyx 15 mg; used to treat hyperthyroidism. This medication does have side effects like that which you described, so it could potentially be a match. For verification, the manufacturer of this pill is Centrix Pharmaceutical Inc and the National Drug Code (NDC) for this pill is: 11528-0320 I hope this helps! Please post back if you have any additional information to add.

I started this medicine, 2 tabs a day, spaced 12 hours apart taken on an empty stomach. After 5 and a half days of taking it I was much worse, with my left leg & arm (my good side) losing all sensation & being very difficult to control. My right (worse) side was no different. I had vertigo & severe problems with equilibrium badly affected. I rang my Neuro who said to stop takin the Fampyra immediately, which I did. Now, after 48 hours off the drug I am worse than ever. I can barely walk at all & have no sensation in my left leg & arm. I am also incredibly weak in me left arm & leg. I am left with just a little use in my right leg & arm. I am desperately hoping that this will disappear once the drug is out of my system. I am extremely worried and frightened.

I The iron infusion is causing me a lot of side effects. The docs say I am very anemic. and must have iron put back in my body as quickly as possible.I have flu like symptoms, am naseas, very weak ## I am not an MD by any means, however after gathering information on Iv Iron Infusion I found it to be a mildly dangerous approach to reaching your iron equilibrium; due to all the possible side effects associated with it. Have you tried asking your doctor about any natural alternatives that carry less side effects? Such as: Foods high in iron, or some other way to help your body absorb iron at a more efficient rate. Please post back if you have any questions or information to add, and I will help you. ## I had oral iron for 7 months. Upon checking my iron levels (for the first time) the doc...

My doctor prescribed these small tablets for me when I had a balance problem. I had to hold onto furniture when I got out of bed. Everything around you spins. It apparently has something to do with an inner ear infection. ## Hello Nico, I was unable to find any medication under the name of nitil. This could be either from a typo or it's just a new drug with very little information on it. What I do know is that our ears maintain our equilibrium. The vestibular system works in conjunction with our sight in order to give us a sense of balance and positioning with reference to other objects. Often when people have an ear infection or other ear related problems that affect the vestibular system we experience dizziness and vertigo, sometimes to the point of being completely uncapable of m...

I felt dizzy and my doctor said I have excess fluid behind right ear. I was given prednisone. The next morning I cant walk, no balance, I have to hold on to something to walk. I spoke with my doctor and she said that this is normal. Is it? ## Your doctor should have told you that you had vertigo and that prednisone can sometimes help. The side effects you were experiencing are created by vertigo, which can be quite nasty. Your equilibrium is messed up, you go one way and your body goes the other way. In Canada we have only one drug that is allowed in to treat vertigo and that is called Serc. Sometimes it helps, sometimes it doesn't. Doctors have started small doses of prednisone to counter act the vertigo. I don't know if the results are positive or not. ## Hi I was given predni...
