I was treated with sotalol but had breakthroughs. Switched to flecainide which worked but with side effects. I recently stopped the flecainide and have had no significant a-fib that I can discern, although some skipped beats. I do continue to take bystolic and azor for high blood pressure. However, since discontinuing the flecanide, I have had what I would describe as a pounding heartbeat (not rapid), dizziness, and consistent blood pressure readings of 140s/50s.
Thus, at a minimum the drug will have no effect. Twenty-four hours later, the drug is still in the blood (unmetabolized) and you take a second dose. At this time the CYP superenzymes again begin to be produced sand you end up with too much of the drug metabolized. One issue is "how much grapefruit is necessary to affect the liver?" A single grapefruit is enough. This is why many medications say "do not take with grapefruit juice".
Then I just got a 2nd opinion and this dr said to quit Atenolol,Isosobide and Ranexa and start Azor and Bystolic and he wants me to have a Cardiolite stress test. I really do not see an improvement with Azor and Bystolic-I think I have just as much angina maybe more on these 2 drugs. My question is what will stress test show that the heart cath didn't show?

Side effect from Taxol perminent numb toes, side effects so far from Tamoxifen body temperature changes of warmth then cold. The web page sites and telephone numbers did not have this information.
There must be a better way to detox yourself from this drug, tobacco, without just turning to another difficult drug, an antidepressant, particularly one that's so stimulating. I'd look into lifestyle changes before drugs to see if you can work yourself out of it, such as exercise, meditation, or whatever else works for you. Tobacco isn't the only drug with problems.
i am sorry that any of us who is suffering from this drugs effects i hope there is something that can be done an reverse what this has done to us...if anyone has had simaler side effects as me plz let me know i am a nervous wreck....

But be aware, another drug could have different side effects. Over the 20+ years I have taken anti depressants, I have experienced quite a few different side effects. Effexor was the best drug I ever took. I did well on it. Whereas others have given me side effects I could not handle.
If you really do not want to stay on Effexor, then have a word with your doctor.
It can take a few months to separate disease activity from treatment side-effects unless its something obvious like Copaxone welts.
Be sure to mention this to your team when you go for the second infusion so this gets put in your notes and you get feedback from the pros. In the mean time, I'm so sorry you're feeling this wiped out.
I have not used the drug but don't read that vomiting and drooling are side effects. It dies take time and maybe dose adjustments before you notice a difference.
The best thing you can do is call your Vet and ask these questions.
Regarding the use of Gabapentin, you are regularly using since last September and had you suffered similar pains any time in the course of taking the drug? Although it has side effects as any other medicine, joint pain is not among the common or usual ones. You need to consult your attending doctor who had prescribed Gabapentin and update him of the possibility of the joint pains due to taking the drug. Are you been regularly followed up for your thigh pain? How is the pain presently?
I had very sim reaction to that drug, They really did not know enough about this drug when it was first perscibed to paitiants , Topamax , Neuronton ,sorry type Os no glasses, GABA drugs can be used for many different reasons, For neurological pain, seizures, bipolar disorder,, at times they replace drugs like depakot as that drug has very negative side effects like wiegh gain tremmer,blood sugar problems ,etc, also depending on other drugs you are on it can and is used as a booster, so it may b
My wife, Nanette, had liposomal doxorubicin or Caelyx for 6 months (equivalent to 6 treatments) and she had skin darkening. We noticed the change in her complexion midway through this regimen. She applies sun block lotion everytime she goes outside. Kindly watch out for PPE / hand and foot syndrome also, although Nanette didn't have this. This is one of the more popular side effects of this drug.
I hope this drug works for you.
I used both, and found that side effects are similar; tiredness, weight gain, and a slow pulse. Side effects are more pronounced as the dosage is increased. I had dosages from 25mg to 200mg. daily. Other reported effects are loss of libido, tightness in the chest, itching, irregular breathing, and irregular heartbeat. If you have any further questions, I'd be happy to respond based on my experience with the drug.
The thing is my mom is a bit scared because of what she has heard about the possible long term effects of accutane. Is it true that the drug can cause serious liver damage etc? I am aware of the short term effects of accutane (chapped lips, blured vision etc) but can someone enlighten me on what can possibly happen in the long run with my health after i take this drug?
do all of these crappy (literally) side effects EVER fade??? ive only been on the combined treatment for a month now....it just seems to b getting worse...the vomitting, crapping, fatigue,body aches, head aches, raw throat and mouth....i just hate to ask my docs for all kinds of meds....just wondering if it gets better closer to the one year marker????
