Well, it depends on what kind of medication you are on. I am taking Niaspan for cholestoral and these are the side effects of it. When your body have enough of these vitamins, it flushes out of body like this. It is advised by proffessionals to take an aspirin half an hour before taking Niaspan to avoid this flush. In my case, I simply stopped taking Niaspan and seek alternative from my doctor. It is always good to see doctor in such cases. I hope this is helpful to you.
I wanted to also share with you a side effect of Niaspan is gout. If you never had it before, and start to more than likely it's the Niaspan that caused it. My husband was on Niaspan for a a couple of yrs. well, for the last yr. before discontinuing it, he kept getting flare-ups of gout. He started to get it more often than not. Also, the flare-ups were unbearable, to wear he couldn't go into the office because he couldn't put his shoe on.
In an effort to increase my HDL, I take Niaspan & Zocor.....Recently my MD upped the Zocor from 5mgl. to 10mgl....
Last couple weeks, have had more trouble sleeping, usually waking up after a dream (not nightmares, but somewhat vivid dreams)...I've checked out few sites, & saw that statins can cause sleep problems....Have others here had sleep problems while taking a statin?........
Crestor is an atypical statin in that it raises the HDL by 5-10%, but more importantly decreases through pleomorphic effects the crp level, There is some data that increasing HDL with Niaspan and gemfibrozil in men decreases mortallity if their initial HDL is below 35-40. I would probably start a statin, and see what happens to your ldl and hdl. If the hdl remains low, then I would add gemfibrozil to raise it ( since Niaspan did not work).
Hopefully some other members here can suggest an AD with little to no sexual side effects. I think Wellbutrin may be one of them. If you have anxiety along with your depression you might not want to take this med as it can make it worse because it is more stimulating. Or you may need to add an antianxiety med with it. Take care.
If the prescribed dose of Remeron was taking care of the depressive symptoms, then you may consider waiting for the sedative side effects to go. Some side effects are dose dependant while others are time dependant.
Other antidepressants also have their own set of side effects. A practical approach would be to chose between ED or drowsiness. ED has it's own consequences and Cialis won't be affordable long term.
... but in Mayo Clinic website .. they warn from statin side effects against liver ..
Statin side effects: Weigh the benefits and risks
Liver damage
Occasionally, statin use could cause your liver to increase its production of enzymes that help you digest food, drinks and medications. If the increase is only mild, you can continue to take the drug. Rarely, if the increase is severe, you may need to stop taking the drug. Your doctor might suggest a different statin.
It started out of the blue, one test went from TC of 145 one year to 219 the next. I have had no side effects and have had a good handle on my lipids for the past 3 years with my LDL at an all time low of 51.
Also, if you're looking for a doctor's opinion, there are none in this forum, try getting on the expert forum, you can ask a cardiologist or try the Cardiovascular Disease Prevention board, it's great as well and easier to get on.
I hope this helps, good luck.
Trileptal is a newer drug than Tegretol (carbamazapine) and is supposed to have less side effects than Tegretol.
You do have to have blood tests every three months because it can affect the sodium levels in your blood, which could lead to kidney problems.
I went through 6 doctors before I found a Facial Pain Specialist at a large teaching hospital that actually helped me.
I strongly suggest that before you start taking yohimbe you schedule a visit with your doctor. Yohimbe has several potential negative side effects. I also wonder about the long term use of Viagra and Cialis, since you started with them at a fairly young age. If you haven't had a checkup for over a year, start out with that for an overall health assessment. You can mention your erection situation at that time or then see a urologist.
I assume you have a cholesterol issue. Why not ask your doctor for a prescription for a statin medicine? You can get the drug for $4.00 a month or less, and it's much less invasive than Niaspan, in my opinion. I tried Niaspan years ago, it wasn't effective, and I would get a huge 'blushing' feeling, my face would flush and I would be miserable. Statin drugs are very safe and in my opinion, very effective.
I have searched the literature and have not found any articles linking Niaspan with any form of cancer. Niaspan is just niacin, one of the B vitamins, and as far as I can tell, is not cancerous in the dose given in Niaspan. As for your other question whether a five year study can demonstrate a drug-cancer connection, it would depend partly on the study design. The strength of the association between cause (the drug) and effect (cancer) would depend on how the evidence is gathered.
Hi,
Simvastatin is generally well-tolerated and side effects are rare. Minor side effects include constipation, diarrhea, fatigue, gas, heartburn, and headache. Major side effects include abdominal pain or cramps, blurred vision, dizziness, easy bruising or bleeding, itching, muscle pain or cramps, rash, and yellowing of the skin or eyes.

This could be an allergic reaction to the drug. It will stop if the drug is withdrawn.

Hi, does Viagra/sidegra causes any long term side effects after using it? I've experienced a massive loss of sensitivity on my penis after using the pills.
I have not been prescribed from a doctor, but bought of the store in Thailand. Popped 50 mg to 100 mg per intercourse. Have used it often for two weeks, and noticed the lack of feeling on the tip under intercourse and even when I stopped using the pills.
