Severe leg pain, constant rattling, wheezy chest, severe anxiety attacks, fuzzy thinking, hypomanic symptoms, bloating, fatigue, increased blurry vision, after 6 months at incrased 250 doseage, wild dreams disturbing sleep. Stopped taking Advair a month ago. Within two days, fuzzy thinking cleared up rapidly and back to normal within 7 days. Within 10 days, energy level returned. Sleeping very well. Wheezy chest mostly gone. Bloating gone. Anxiety attacks...one very mild one four weeks after I stopped the Advair, but was able to control it by regulating my breathing and distracting myself...went away quickly...but when I was on Advair, ended up in ER with panic attack. When I began the Advair, I was living in an apartment with a flooding problem that created mold and mildew, and I am allergic to mold and mildew. I was having difficulty sleeping at night from the coughing, and was given Advair, and the doseage was upped after one year. Initially it helped me, but with the increased doseage came all the symptoms above. I moved, stopped the Advair, and now I am fine (just still have the allergies, of course.)

I was prescribed Levaquin for a sinus infection. Started taking the 500 mg. tablet on Thursday. Within 24 hours of the first dose, my sinus symptoms started feeling better, but I had wild dreams along with difficulty in sleeping, accompanied by bouts of sweating, then chilling. Friday nt. the diaharrea started and continued every 30 min. This was accompanied by severe abdominal pain and weakness. I have stopped taking this drug, only took 3 pills, but the diaharrea continues. Has anyone else had this awful side effect, and if so....how long did it last after discontinuing the medication. I, like many others have posted, will NEVER take this medication again, nor will I let it be prescribed to any family member!

My husband has been on Morphine quick release since Jan 2004. He became sleepy , fall asleep anytime anywhere.
This fall , Oct 2004 we went to cancer treatment center in Zion, Ill and they put pain pump in, Medtronic with Fetanyl and Bupivicaine. That seemed to work ok for his long term pain but needed something for breakthrough pain.. They recommended Actic lollypops but the copay was $50 per month so we went with the morphine liquid. That worked ok but like all of you say, his decision making deminished and he slept alot.. Two weeks after he was home he was admitted for dehydration and high BUN. The pcp put him on MS Conten he came home and seemed ok for a week then the side affects started .. jerking , sleeping with wild dreams , talking out loud, seeing people who were not there, it has been awful.. I got on the internet and found out some info.. For one thing the dr put him on laxic and MS Conten should not be used with this med. There are so many things the drs do not take into consideration. Especially the drug interaction.. It has been five days and he is finally calming down.. He is very week, and shaky, dry mouth, eyes roll around. eys open when he is really sleeping. Hallucinations are awful. I have taken him off all morphine. even the MSIR.
Is there any pain med for cancer patients that do not have these horendous side effects. Plz share . thanks!!!
Furious with drs who are ignorant of drugs uses and their side effects.

I take 100mg of toprol XL per day. Have had rashes, tiredness, wild dreams, hot flashes, hands and toes cold all the time. But the good thing is my bp and heart rate are low while taking toprol.

I was 500 mg Levaquin daily for 7 days started June 12, 2003, skipped the 19th and took my last dose 20th for sinus infection. I quickly developed an irregular heart beat and chest pains. I am already am on medication for these symptoms so I continued to take the Levaquin. Toward the end of my 7days I had wild dreams at nite, moderate to extreme joint and muscle pains, neck pains, stomach pains, a rash on both my arms up to my clothing line that is still getting worse at this writing July 12th, 2003. I have dizziness, incoordnation, and my mouth clamped so hard shut one nite that it woke me up and and I chipped a tooth!
I am so exhausted that I can barely get around! It has effected everything I am doing!
I returnrd from the doctor yesterday and he agrees is severe allergic reaction to the medication. It feels more like toxicity to me. This stuff needs to be taken off the market!

I am 57 years old, and never had HBP, I went to the cardiologist and told me I have 140/80 and prescribed Toprol XL 25mg. I bought the generic ones. Today is my second week and I did not know that my headaches (never had headaches before), electric chocks ringing ears , breathing problems, were a side effect of this pill until reading all these experiences of so many people. I am going to cut half the dosis and lower it, so I get out of this medicine. The doctor made an EKG and gave me Toprol because my left atrial was big due to untreated HBP. Is there any natural product, better than this killing medicine, please advice.
