Avatar f tn It could be a side effect of the methadone or even an allergic type reaction to it. I remember when I took Macrobid (antibiotic) for a urinary infection, I had a high fever (102.3) every time I would take it, so I called my doctor's office and they told me to stop it immediately because I was having an allergic reaction to it. As it turned out, my father had had this same type of reaction to it a couple years before.

Avatar n tn Hi there, Thank you for writing to us here, though I am sorry that you are struggling with side effects from the result of breast cancer medication. I am also a breast cancer survivor, however as I am triple negative, the hormonal drugs are not effective for me so unfortunately I cant speak from experience. However, that doesn't mean that I cant find out some interesting information for you in relation to libido and Arimidex.
Avatar n tn My husband developed squamous cell carcinoma 5 years ago. After 8 weeks of intensive radiation treatments, along with chemo, his behavior also changed. He doesn't remember things!! He also lost the use of his arms, his shoulder fell out of it's socket, he can not speak and can only eat thru a feeding tube. In the summer of 2009, after two years on home hospice, his tumors disappeared!!
Avatar n tn I wish i had never been offered Methadone. I never noticed any side effects up untill about 2yrs ago. I have every known side effect,but the worst one of all at the moment is excessive sweating. My quality of life is zero. I sweat from head to toe most days all day. I sit with ice ,cold can's of juice sitting on my cheek's,my breasts and my wrists. Ive put on 4st in weight,and i know this wont be helping the situation. I don't know what to do anymore.
710547 tn?1295446030 Hi all I've been absent for quite a while due to my mom being dx with metestatic lung cancer and needing to care for her. I also lost my dear doctor of over 30 years this past fall. I now see a doctor in the same group but he does all palliative care. He just wants to talk about pain meds. I want to keep trying to find answers and help for my diseases! Anyway - hes been pushing methadone saying I need to switch to it to get better pain relief.
Avatar n tn ve wanted to get off the methadone because I believe its side effects are making my quality of life worse. I get terrible hot flashes which are primarily caused by my cancer treatment but I believe are worse because of the methadone. I sweat terribly, have trouble sleeping, am incredibly intolerant to heat and get short of breath sometimes when I exercise. I know the methadone is making all these things worse if not causing some of them. I wonder about the Ultram though.
Avatar f tn I just googled Avastin side effects are there are many sites that have lots of info on there. Also, you could google the manufacturer or ask your oncology center for some fact sheets.... Just a thought.

Avatar n tn There is no better, faster, easier way to withdrawal by replacing one drug that has side effects with another drug with side effects. I suggest that you thoroughly read everything there is to know about the steroid you're talking about, before talking to a doctor.

Did they make you sleepy?, I know they didn't help my pain before but that's all I can remember,(they stopped them within 2 months,nI DO remember that!
Avatar n tn Are there any known side effects for Shen Calmer and Liver Happy Capsules? My dog has been taking them for about a week now. He is taking them for anxiety, no signs of relief yet, but no prescriptions have helped him so this is our last resort. The second day he vomited and the vet said she hadn't ever seen that so we have kept going.
Avatar f tn She is quite nervous about the side effects. We dont really know what to expect as I have heard different things from different doctors and nurses. I know it probably effects people differently but I am just wondering if anyone has had any similar experiences that they could share with me as to what to expect?

Avatar m tn Common side effects of methadone use include the following: Constipation Drowsiness Skin Rash Sweating Water retention Flushing Changes in sex drive or erectile dysfunction Dizziness (especially in the beginning of treatment and especially as a person in methadone maintenance treatment rises from a lying position) Dry mouth I've seen so many friends on methadone that are drowsy all the time, maybe it's the dosage, but the fact is there is a chance of these side effects.

As a result due to shape n size n history my dr removed my rt ovary. I cannot go on birth control since I've had breast cancer 2 yrs before. I'm currently 37. & feel the effects of hot flashes.
