War Are Side Affects

Okay, I've been taking 30mg of Accutane for almost a year now. I'm very pleased with the results. I used to have very oily hair and skin that led to severe acne on my face. No matter what I did, nothing helped until I started using Accutane. I am fully aware that this is a serious drug, and is the last resort for acne problems. The side affects are clearly listed on various websites and on the Accutane prescription itself. I knew the potential health risks and what I was getting myself into. Those who choose to take Accutane are usually warned by doctors and I also would think one would do serious research before taking this drug. It is very unfortunate that people are suing the drug companies that produce Accutane. I don't think it's fair for the rest of us who are gett...

i have been taking 2 to 3 kalatopins a day. foe about a week now. my kindeys are killing me. is it the kkalatopins cause this proplem? ## I believe you were referring to Klonopin, which contains the active ingredient Clonazepam, it is a benzodiazepine that is used to treat anxiety, and nervous disorders. The FDA warns that it carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, and irritability. What type of pain are you experiencing that leads you to believe it is your kidneys? Is it just pain? Are you on any other medications? What dosage have you been taking?

I was prescribed Norco for severe back pain and I woke up sick as a dog. Loratab didnt make me feel this way but Norco did. I took one 10-325 Wednesday night and tiday is Saturday and I still feel lightheaded ## Hello, Sonya! How are you? Are you receiving the name brands, or generics? What are the markings on the tablets? Can you please post back and clarify? This information will help me research more details for you. The FDA does want that it can cause nausea and vomiting, as side effects, in some people that take it, along with dizziness, drowsiness, headache, dry mouth and constipation. It also carries the risk of being habit forming. ## That should be warn, not want! Oh, autocorrect, I hate you so! LOL

I have hepitus c and take 4 10/325 percocfts a day.Am I hurting my liver? ## Yes. You are taking 1300mg of acetominaphin (tylenol) each day which you should not be taking ESPECIALLY if you already have liver damage to begin with. Talk to you Dr. about removing the tylenol from your daily meds and trying something different. ## Have your doctor prescribed them for you, and are they monitoring you regularly? It isn't that it can't be taken, but you do have to be very cautious. Acetaminophen can be very detrimental, and could contribute to further liver damage, or liver failure. The FDA also warns against drinking alcohol while taking these medications, and/or having any type of liver problem. The Oxycodone in Percocet is available by itself, so you could ask your doctor about pres...

I was prescribed this tablet for blood thinning, after taking just one tablet, I had the most dreadful side affects.The worst has been itching, even after having stopped the tablet a week ago, I had very bad nausea for 3 days, shocking water retention in feet & ankles, even 3, 40 grams furemuside a day didn't fix it. That has resolved itself, headache, constipation, I never have that. I am back taking aspirin, still feeling unwell & the itchiness does not want to go away, no matter what I try. ## Are you on any other medications, or just the Aspirin?

However, it...

Does anyone have Celiac and takes Forteo? My doctor prescribed this medicine for my osteoporosis. I am extremely worried about taking this medicine and all the side affects with Forteo. I am 51, post menopause, and have a fractured leg. The bone is taking a lot of time to heal. One side effect I read from Forteo was more fractures. I am looking for any side affects from people with auto immune diseases, not doctors answers. Thank you. ## Hi Alice, I am set to begin my first dosing of Forteo this week and I am very nervous.

seems to be wired from these, never had that happen before, only taken 2, 4x a day, same as always. I had some from another brand dont get the side affects ## What are the markings on the tablets in question? Can you please post back with this information? It will enable me to research more details for you. The FDA does warn that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation, and dry mouth. However, some are known to cause the opposite of the usual side effects in some people that take them, so some do get bursts of energy from taking it.

I still have Tornalate lung spray. Are there any warning labels that you can't drive or use machinery while taking the drug. ## It is most commonly used to treat bronchospasms, and other respiratory issues. However, you should not drive, or operate any heavy machinery, until you are sure of how it affects you. The FDA does warn that it may cause dizziness, headache, insomnia, and nervousness as side effects. Has it been prescribed for you?

What are the laws on driving while taking methadone in the state of Maryland ## Hello, Pac! How are you? If it impairs you, such as causing you to feel drowsy, high, dizzy or etc. then it could be considered driving under the influence. That is why most such mediations carry warnings that you should not drive or operate dangerous machinery, until you know how the medication affects you. The FDA lists this as being a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with?

Is it safe for a parent to be driving their children while taking subutex? ## It really depends on the person in question and how it affects them. If you read the warnings given for these types of medications, it states that you shouldn't drive or operate heavy machinery, until you know for sure how the medication is affecting you. If it causes a lot of drowsiness and dizziness in the person that's taking it, then no, they should refrain from driving. However, not everyone that takes it experiences such side effects and they also tend to wear off, over time, so if they do experience them, there may be only a short period of time, where it isn't safe for them to drive. Are there any other questions or concerns? ## Legal in Tn if your prescribed to drive to & from dr unlik...

I have come to think the extreme anxiety depression heart palpitations and tingling in my left fingers are related to the 20 mg lisinopril I started just over a year ago. I also take amlodpine and warfarin ...I cant believe it took me so long to suspect this.

This is horrible beyond anything I have ever experienced. Please help if you can ! ## Sorry, I just saw this post with more details. In this case, since you are on several medications, it is hard to say which one might be causing your symptoms, if they are due to a combination of them, or if they may be unrelated.
