Sweats symptoms and conditions

During my second month of being on Loestrin, I started experiencing a lot of nausea, faint feelings, a little dizzy, moody, sweats, breakouts, acid reflux and just an overall unwell feeling. After reading these posts, I am convinced that Loestrin is the cause off all these symptoms..I am going off of them immediately and can't wait to feel normal again.

this is a wonderful website. I was just put on the lisinopril hctz yesterday. My doctor said to try this first rather than the benicar hctz due to the difference in price. After reading these posts I could care less about the cost. I just called him and asked him to switch me to the Benicar. Thank you for your comments and I hope things get better.

I have been on Levaquin for 2 days. My Doctor had me take a 750 mg dose before I left his office. I am taking them due to a nasty bladder and kidney infection. I hurt more than I ever remember hurting...it is like someone used me for a punching bag and it continues to get worse, not better. I ache horribly. I cannot taste anything and I couldn't sleep more than two hours last night. I range between feeling hot and having the sweats to having the chills. If I don't feel better tomorrow, I will go to the hospital.

I have been on Paxil off and on now for about 5 years.... the current length of treatment for the past 1 1/2 years. I need to be on it ( or something for that matter ) for my panic disorder. I am a 36 year old nurse/ manager and some days was almost debilitated by panic attacks. Depression was part of it, but not nearly as much as panic. I must say, that I have been experiencing memory loss now for about a year.... I thought maybe it was due to overwork/ stress...which I do understand it COULD be. However, I find it interesting that I am seeing so many more people with memory loss than I imagined. Is it due to stress in this type of people's lives, or is it in fact, the drug Paxil?
Keep in mind this is an SSRI ( Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor ) ~~ even though there is no solid evidence (YET!) this is a side effect of the drug, I would bet my license on the fact that that it is!
I have tried time and time again to wean myself off of Paxil.. ( with and without my Dr's advice )--- I did succeed for a few years to be without the medicine, however being on a slew of other meds in the interim did not help as much for the panic as does the Paxil. Paxil, honestly, scares the hell out of me!
Besides the "numb emotions", memory loss, sexual appetite decrease, yawning, lack of sleep, etc... the side effects of coming off of it are worse! As I read earlier, it IS addictive, indeed! The brain gets used to the drug being there ( as with any addiction ), and the "surges" of dizziness, sweats, and out-of-body-like experiences I experience coming off of the drug are excruciatingly harder to bare than the depression itself. Those above symptoms of withdrawal are just that....withdrawal!
Once your body is "allowed" to reuptake serotonin (as it is supposed to), this is when those symptoms raise their head...sometimes for weeks or months until they subside.
I would welcome anyone with help on this matter---is there another Drug out there that can help with anxiety/depression symptoms, and not cause the plethora of side effects we have all discussed here?

My son started taking Keflex 500 MG for a knee injury because of a Dirt bike accident and he had a MAJOR anxiety attack, had the sweats and felt like he was going to vomet. I never in my life saw him like that and I don't ever want to see him like that again. I will never use that Antibiotic or have any of my boys use it.

First morning of being off the Bactrim and I'm still experiencing the same side effects in my previous post, however, I see that I failed to mention the extreme light sensitivity in my eyes and the chills, sweats, and all over muscle pain and joint pain. Last night I felt like I was dying or something. I was able to work with the UTI...but not able to make it in today w/all these side effects still happening. Again...if at all possible please avoid taking this medication!

I began using the NuvaRing in January with no problems. In April I started having severe sweating and severe chills - nonstop. I could not figure out what was wrong - I never associated it with the NuvaRing. I went to the Dr. and they tested me for all kinds of things and found nothing. Over the course of a month I was constantly at my gynecologist, my general practitioner, the emergency room, or urgent care. I missed a TON of work. Always the tests came back negative - and that I was fine. Finally they came back with that I had parvovirus B19 - which is a blood test and they had to send it to the hospital so I suppose it was true, but I kept saying that can't be ALL I have - there must be something else here - and they kept saying no, it's all the parvovirus. I went online and looked up symptoms for parvovirus B19 and chills and sweats was not a symptom. Parvovirus takes 4-6 weeks to go away. At the end of that time I will STILL having these chills and sweats and I found this website and BINGO - it finally all clicked. I removed the NuvaRing 4 days ago and I have not had any problems since. It's ridiculous. You just always have to diagnose yourself, and the Doctors say don't do that but what the heck? If I hadn't diagnosed myself I would still be miserable! I do not intend to use the NuvaRing anymore.

Recently, I had an experience very similar to pocoloco's experience with Lactaid. The main difference is that pocoloco experience seems to have wained within hours, mine were much more severe and lasted for days.

On a Monday, I took some Lactaid before eating a salad, that had perhaps 2 tablespoons of Ranch dressing. The next morning I awoke with very painful stomach pains. Like pocoloco, I feel I have a high threshold for pain, but throughout the day, I was unable to concentrate on my work because the pain was so severe. I went to my doctor the following day as I had not made a connection between my pains and Lactaid. The doctor had bloodwork done and a sonogram performed. She thought that my pain may have been the result od some gallbladder trouble or a viral infection. She prescribed a strong antibiotic, pain medicine and ulcer medicine to attack it from multiple angles as I am a healthy 32 yr old.

Over the next several days, I was feeling better, but still in discomfort. On that Friday, I took a Lactaid pill with a bowl of cereal for dinner around 7-8 pm. By 11 pm I was vomiting violently and had extreme abdominal pain. Again, because I had feeling better, I thought that perhaps I had a bad reaction to the combination of antibiotics and pain medicine. I vomited over a period of 4 hours, and like pocoloco, was expelling yellow/green liquid (bile?) near the end of the experience (3-4 am).

Between Saturday and Tuesday, I was still in discomfort, but was 90% better by Tuesday. I decided on Mexican food for dinner. I took a Lactaid pill and had some Queso with chips for an appetizer. By 11 pm, I was vomiting more violently than the first time and had a strong bitter taste associated. I finished vomiting around 5 am this time and the following day was still nauseated and in very strong discomfort from stomach pains. This was all it took to finally connect the dots and realize that the effects were the result of Lactaid, not a viral infection or stomach flu.

I would say my experience was very similar to pocoloco's, except that my stomach pains lasted over several days and my vomiting was over 4-5 hours as opposed to his 1-2 hour experiences.

My son is 11 years old and been on Singulair since around 2003. My mother called me and told me that she saw something about the drug on the news. As of today, I have called his Dr. and stopped the drug. He has changed over the years and I never thought it would be Singulair. Reading the stories, now it all makes sense. He always complains with his stomach and had even been to the ER with it before with no explanation from the Dr.s why he had stomach pain (rolling over pain) for a week and his blood pressure was over 150/80. It seems to get worse over time, he is having trouble staying focused in school and breaks out in sweats for not reason at all. Thanks for posting your stories.

I am now 28 and I've had the Mirena IUD since Jan. 2006. I have gained 20lbs since. It has to be the Mirena, because I have never been over 135 lbs, even after childbirth, I was only 130. Just recently I started to get bad headaches everyday. I keep Motrin in stock. I normally keep a bottle of Motrin for at least a year, but now I buy one once a month. I was told there were no side effects with this method as far as weight gain was concerned, but I feel I was lied to. You know doctors get compensated for getting us to use these meds by the pharm companies. Seriously though, the Mirena works. I have had unprotected sex with my boyfriend numerous amounts of times, and I did not get pregnant. The thing is the weight gain, the headaches, the increased body sweats, and bodily fluids, **you have to shower more** it's a must, I have to wear a panty liner at all times or my panties will be wet. When the Mirena was inserted, I was terrible pain for 2 months and I blead for 6 weeks non stop. I would ball up in a knot sometimes and could not move. I had to push myself to go to work and school and plus I had 2 little girls. It was terrible. I don't have a period anymore now, I just spot from time to time, but the panty liner is always in place, so that's all I really use. My only concern with this IUD really is the headaches, and the weight issue, I also heard it could make me sterile.. That's is something I think I would have to sue over. I want a son one day.It's one thing for me to not want anymore kids by my choice, but to have the ability to reproduce taken away from me and it's not by choice.....I would be devastated. I am thinking about having it remove before my 5 years is up. I don't miss my period, so I don't know. I would like to loose the weight though, but I have no energy.

I have been on lisinopril tablets (10) for about a year. I have dizzy spells, pass out, headaches, sweats, and shoulder pain and low back pain. I have been to a lot of doctors and had a lot of tests but nothing shows up. Could it be this med? Please help me I feel like I am dying.

Weight gain, general bodily aches and pains , anxiety/panic attacks/general depression, difficulty in concentration, loss of general interest.

Been on Methadone tabs for 9 yrs. I gained 130 lbs, have edema in my ankles and feet for the past 8 yrs, I have an endocrine problem (pituitary gland doesn't produce testosterone anymore), I'm itchy all over, I get drowsy, and I have hot flashes. I think I should get off this drug and deal with my chronic pain. At least I'll lose wieght, stop itching, lose the edema and aching feet, maybe restore my endocrine system balance, etc....
Whata ya think?

I have been on Methadone for approx. six months for a second time and i have been getting extremely clammy and i sweat and have heat attacks so severe, i'm so afraid of this summer, afraid i might have a heat stroke. It seems my body cannot control my heating system. Someone suggested i might be starting menopause, but i do not have sweating spells unless i'm moving around or even standing ,or if it's hot, not like hot flashes in the middle of the night for no apparent reason. Also i have always had the best blood pressure, now i have high blood pressure since using methasone for pain control and i have to take Toprol. Doctors think it's just a coincidence but i know it's the meth and i am slowly weaning off. I just hope my body can return to normal. Has anyone had these same problems.
