   Regarding amoxicillin, have there been any reports of ear damage or hearing loss due to taking this medication. I was given this drug when it was known that I was allergic to penicillin.
   Thank you

   I was on Permax for approximately 14 years. I was changed to Requip about 1 year ago. My new internist wanted me to get off the Requip. After I went through a 2 week process of getting off the Requip I immediately started having extreme dizzy spells. My internist and cardiologist both diagnosed it as vertigo. I am on the 6th day of medicine for the vertigo with absolutely no improvement. Both doctors said they knew of no reason why getting off the requip would cause the vertigo. Just wondering if anyone had any information.

    Has anyone had oral pain due to Symbicort usage?
    I’ve used it for about 8 months, rinse thoroughly afterward, but my palate and gums are very sore and sensitive to hot and cold.
    Now I’ve been off for three weeks and they are no longer sore.
    Has anyone else experienced this or do you have information on why this might be occurring? (It worked on the asthma really well.)

33. Barbara P. Turner on October 26th, 2008 2:50 pm

    I’m type II Diab. and am currently taking Januvia 100 mg., I’m also on 3 BP meds: Avapro 300mg, Coreg 12.5 mg twice a day, and Norvasc 10mg And have severe Fybromyalgia and take Cymbalta 60 mg every other day because of its side effects. I also take vytorin 10/40 and I take otc for Hot flashes by way of Estroven Plus. I’m also a Coumadin 7.5 mg patient due to an inoperable 2 centimeter blood clot in a branch of my lower right lung on 9/10/08 and a 3 1/2 day stay in the hospital. I was weaned from the Lovenox shots to the Coumadin and given the Protein C & S test and come to find out that (as I already knew) because of my heredity angina, etc. on my dad’s side and the Diab. and blood clots, etc. on my mother’s side, I came up so low that now they’re afraid to take me off the coumadin as prescribed for the 1st 6 months after a blood clot. In other words, I don’t want to come off the coumadin, risk forming another blood clot just so they can get a clean test result instead of a false positive like what I did and I really don’t want to plan on dying in Feb. when I’m scheduled to come off the coumadin. Any takers on this?

    I have been on Tikosyn for about 11 months. I have been having migrating abdominal pains for the past 3 months. They are in areas of the uterus, back, ovaries and rectal area. The hemmroids I developed almost 40 years ago when I had my daughter are now back in force.
    No weight loss, or gain. No fever, eating ok, lots of energy, but am concerned about the migrating pains. Am scheduled for a Colonoscopy next week.
    Anyone else having symptoms like this?

    The side effects I had after 2 weeks of taking Tegretol included; a bout of cystitis, flushing of the face, rash on upper arms and neck, photosensitivity and finally ulcers and white spots in the mouth. My doctor took me off the drug and put me on a short course of steroids, still having some problems with face flushing and sensitivity to sunlight.

    I have recently been released from the hospital due from a stroke. It was a bleed, and I actually had to have brain surgery because, of my progress. I have been on the nuva ring for almost a year and I am unsure that this is the cause… My Neurologist perspective is still unknown. Could this actually be the cause?

    I have been troubled with diarrhea, abdominal discomfort, bowel seepage—-for over a year——was put on flagyll initially to correct a partial bowel blockage——-sometime —maybe several months—-Benicar had been added to my Norvasc, glyburide, and glucophage which I have been on for many years—-keeping BP and sugar under control quite well——I am 84—-126 lbs, never smoked, drank, and ate healthy——My primary diagnoses my condition as colitis—-at least that is what is written down—–chrons disease, diverticulosis, celiac etcetcet has been tossed around—–I have seen a dietician—–eaten accordingly( was doing all that in the first place)—-am having to wait til Jan 12 to see a gastro DR.——-and my Primary referred me to a surgeon——-who quite frankly seemed rather uninterested in me when I didn’t jump up and down in joy at the thought of surgery—–so he said well just watch what you eat——-I have a history of being allergic to medications or at least having unpleasant reactions——-I never even took an aspirin til I was probably 45—-so my body must think meds are not necessary——I cannot help but wonder if perhaps the Benicar may not be marrying well with my other meds(which I took comfortably for years)my friend checked with the pharmacy and found that Benicar has only been in use for about 5 years——-my friend found further information that dizziness, diarrhea, indigestion, muscle pain, blood sugar variations—ar among the side effects of Benicar alone——I have experienced all of the above——suggestions would be appreciated—thank you, Marie Pypiak

51. lacy barnett on November 3rd, 2008 10:37 pm

    I have periphreal neurophy, casused by frosbite in Korea in the winter of 1950. In October 2006, I was placed on Lyrica, 150 mg, for the condition. Finally, I was not getting any better so I quite completely in August 2008. Within two weeks, I was a completely different man - no more depression, and I was extremely happy, and joked a lot. I had lung cancer in September 2006. With the recent cessation of Lyrica, and such a change in my personality, my family doctor suspected that my lung cancer had spread to my brain. I did not believe it. He ordered an MRI of the brain last week and it came back negative. No one will accept the fact that quitting the Lyrica caused me to have a change in my personality, etc.

    Can metamucil cause acid reflux

53. vivien on November 6th, 2008 6:04 am

    After taking tamoxifen for 2 years, I have on doctors reccomendation switched to Arimidex. Initially it appeared to cause nausea but now after taking it for 10 weeks I have very heavy vaginal bleeding. Much more than a regular period. I have not had a period since chemo 3 years ago.
    Is this common? I have contacted my gp who has suggested a blood test to see what my ovaries are doing? should I be worried, could there be uglier things going on?

54. marisa on November 6th, 2008 9:20 am

    I have been taking novynette for the past year. I have only recently noticed a marked difference with my hair, in that it is now thin and dropping easily. Can this be a side effect of taking novynette?
    Please help.

    Will hydrocodone and darvocet show up the same in a standard urinary drug screen. I recently had a very large wisdom tooth pulled. I was prescribed Propoxyphene (darvocet) 100/650. The pain was just so severe that i took a hydrocodone that was prescribed to me a few months back (like april or may) my concern is that i am randomly drug tested at more than one place. I know the prior prescription to hydrocodone will help but i am still wondering if the two medications will have the same results. thank you.

59. Lauren on November 7th, 2008 7:29 pm

    I have been taking Endocet, started at 500/500, then up to 7.5/500, now at 10/325, altogether for approx. 2.5 yrs. I have an incurable painful disease and couldn’t stand the pain any longer so my doctor prescribed the narcotic. The Endocet, (generic Percocet), started off wonderful, relieving me of my pain and I felt good. Over time, the drug starting “pulling my strings” should I say by controlling me. I used to be an energetic person, even with my pain, and now nothing seems to bother me and I have become lazy and enjoy just laying in bed watching TV. After researching the long term effects of this type of narcotic, I understand what is happening to me and I am going to try Suboxone prescribed by a licensed doctor as soon as I find the right one. There are other side effects I get from the Endo, however over the past three days, I have had the most serious heartburn and worst of all, severe headaches, so severe I can’t even stand up. I’ve been laying in bed with an icepack on my head. I am also taking liquid Tylenol since the 10 mg. pills I have 325 Tylenol, instead of the 500 I used to take with the lower doses Oxycodone. Has anyone out there in cyberspace taken Endocet for a long period of time and suddenly start getting severe headaches or could I possibly have a virus or may be just stressing over the fact that I know I am not the same person my poor family misses due to the other side effects? Any helpful feedback is greatly appreciated. I have not read any other people mention headaches from Endocet, but to the contrary, they take it for headaches????

    I had a similar reaction to Depakote which also worked on my migraines but after about 8 months my hair started falling out.

    I have been taking sinemet 25/100 for 4x dail, mirapex 3x daily at 0.5mg, selegeline 5mg daily for several years, and without these meds I can not walk but with them I have been mobile enough to teach part time. As off times become more erratic I have tried adding comtan. It has not helped. I am considering tasmar. The side effects are scary, especially the idea of liver damage. They say it should work within three weeks. Your experience. Has it worked? How common are side effects? If blood test indicates liver problems can it be reversed by stopping tasmar? Thank you for any responsse.
