I am 20 weeks pregnant & was prescribed Labetalol 200 mg 2 times a day and about 15 minutes after taking it I began experiencing some of the worst breast/nipple pain imaginable. It felt like someone was ripping my nipples off. I am so glad to see other people have had this side effect too, because it was not listed on my side effects sheet.

I was prescribed methadone for chronic pain associated with partial paralysis from the chest down, 5 Macerated Discs, and a slipped disc right against the spine, preventing surgery as a cure. Believe me, the partial paralysis begins ONLY on the right side, and ONLY from the leg down, so the back pain is horrible!
Methadone has SLOWED the pain, but has not cured it in the least. Morphine helped, but I was so irritable to be around, I was losing family, so I tried changing to Methadone, and so far have not been very impressed! Highly addictive, cancels out any Hydrocodone, Oxycodone, Morphine-based meds, so if your treated in the hospital and they treat you with any of those meds, they will not work for around 3-5 days, and then not well for another couple of weeks. I was in the ER for Kidney Stones, and was given, over a period of a couple of hours, 20cc's of Morphine straight into my IV, and was still wide awake, and was only on 60mg of Methadone per day. I WOULD NOT recommend this as treatment to chronic pain, even though more and more pain clinics and Neurologists, or even rehab specisicialists are changing to it, because the AWFUL SIDE EFFECTS. I still have not found my medication of preference, yet, but Methadone definitely is not suitable, for me. Though everyone is different, for me, the Methadone has increased the pain level due to, when I am NOT on it, I feel awful, so I wake up having to dose myself, and can not sleep until I have stopped taking the meds long enough to cause pain.

I am a 34 yo healthy woman that was prescribed Levaquin for Bacterial Abscess. First a 10 day supply, then the abscess reoccurred so I requested a second 10 day supply. I then had a surgery to resolve recurrent abscess within the second day course. I did not have any reaction until my second post op night when I thought I fell asleep with my arms "tucked in" or"under". The thought was not unlikely as I was also on oxycodone 2q4hrs. At any rate surgery over, off abx now 4 days arms still feel tight and sore. Hands feel 15 times the normal size yet my rings still fit. My leg muscles feel hard but not unmanageable yet. I kept thinking that it was from being sedentary, I am the type who falls asleep when I finally stop moving. I wake at 5 and literally lay down to sleep at 11 or so brief periods of stting. I thought my muscles hurt from inactivity, but that did not explain the joint discomfort. I have had no change for better or worse although it has only been 4 days. I find that working on the "stiffness" helps with the discomfort but when waking it is very uncomfortable.
stiffness,joint pain ,muscle tenderness,depression,neck pain.

My husband is on the fentynal patch. When it is about time for it to be replaced (about 72 hrs) he starts getting weird feelings in his hands and feet. Can't lie down or get any relief. He has to take an Oxycodone until the next patch kicks in. Don't know is this is withdrawals or what it would be like without the patch. He has haed 4 back surgeries and nerve damage with peripherial neuropathy. The doctors just don't know the answer whether its withdrawals or neuropathy pain.

....ok, it is 4am and I am never up at 4am....been up all night...in reading some of these other posts aparently this drug causes insomnia. I have been on Ambien for years now and have not had trouble sleeping with the Ambien, until tonight. I even got up and took a second Ambien...no help. I feel wired and jumpy. No evil thoughts though.
The ironic part is that my neurologist just put me on geodon for a headache that I have had for almost three years. One nonstop every day all day all night headache for 3 years. I have been on meds that had other wonderful side effects such as an unexpected ability to lactate, wieght gain (50lbs) and oh of course there was the time that I asked for a stronger pain med than oxycodone and he put me on the same medication they give herione addicts...that made me lose 2 full weeks of my life and almost lost great friends and family.
I am surprised by the insomnia...I started with 20mg per day, increasing it to 20mg 2x per day....and here comes the insomnia....I guess there could be worse things! I dont care for the tightnessd in my jaw and lower facial area which causes me to look like i am making a sour face -as my husband put it.
time will tell if i stay on this...should be interesting if they take me off of it as I am also going to try to quit smoking in the next few weeks. Could be a bad combination.
thanks for reading!

My mother is on this. She started receiving 1st treatment Sept. 2005. She is now sleeping 1 1/2 hours max at a time at night. Her legs and back hurt so bad she cries & shakes from pain. She has lung cancer & is on Oxycontin & Oxycodone for pain which does not seem to be helping.

I've been taking Ultracet for over SIX months, usually twice daily and sometimes 3 times a day. I herniated a disk a couple years ago and I've had two back surgery since then and have taken every type of prescription drug available, Perocet, Oxycodone and now Ultracet. Ultracet does help with the pain, but it's side effect are just as much of an issue as the scatic nerve and back pain. My main issue is dizziness or being woosey on a daily basis and I do get an upset stomach on occasion. I only drive short distances because of the dizziness and probably shouldn't drive at all. What concerns me is the length of time I've been taking Ultacet. I do believe Ultracet is habit forming or additive no matter what anyone else may say. I need to get off this drug, soon.

I was diagnosed with high chol. in 1987. 360 now 260. I have taken Zocor for some 16 years now. Within 1 month the leg pains and cramps began. The Dr. told me I wasn't getting deep REM sleep and put me on Ambien. Still leg pain & cramps. I accepted the pain as a trade off for lower chol. My chol. is hereditary, not diet related. I can't recall my last egg, butter, milk, etc. I now see the long term effects of Zocor, 2 years ago I went to 40 mg. I suffer from depression, more medication, can't work, do simple chores, play golf, even walk around the block. I am now taking Oxycodone for pain. Severe, all joints, leg muscles, neck, knees, elbows, you name it. The Dr. finally said it must be heredity and put me on Crestor. Too little too late! My girlfriend is disgusted because I am half what I used to be since all the other meds to offset the Zocor effects. I have lost friends and career. I am tagged a hypochondriac. I have sought help from specialists and alternative measures to relieve the pain. No-one, I mean no specilalist even suggested the damaging results of the Zocor until I stumbled onto the "net." I can't walk, much less get out of bed in a reasonable amount of time. I am severely limited in my ability to do anything. I am glad I know what has caused this situation but fear my diminished quality of life and ready to give up. I am not crazy as has been suggested and can now give my detractors a name for my condition. I am relegated to SSD instead of working. DON'T TAKE A STATIN BASED DRUG. Seek alternative methods. They are liars and have cheated me out of my life!

Had Mirena put in 2 days before period and I have not stopped bleeding for 1 month so far. I noticed my hair starting to fall out the other day, just like it did right after having my babies. Constant cramping, so bad I took and old prescription of Oxycodone to relieve the pain one night. I am so tired and depressed during the day.. I have an incredibly short and angry fuse. Insomnia at night. I'm going to try to call this morning to have this thing taken out and switch back to the pill, which I had zero problems with in the past. Oh, did I mention I have worse acne than when I was 13, and it's not limited to my face. I'm getting it on my back, neck and chest and it's the really deeply rooted kind that leaves dark scars. Honestly, the ability to not get pregnant for 5 years is great, but if I'm a short fused monster, with acne and a constantly bleeding vagina, who's going to want to sleep with that anyway?
