laivwire: Another one, I used one crazy anti malarial drug like that without eating. it was a nightmare. I just kept seeing scary things that vanished as soon as I tried to fight them. Terrible mehnMy cousin was sick and he took a certain drug (didn't tell me the name), he had terrible and useless dreams. In fact he said he was chasing a cow in his dream. I was like 'you chasing a cow and not the other way round?' The drug really messed with his brain. |

eleojo23: Drugs are taken primarily to alleviate or cure illnesses. Most of the time, these drugs come with unpleasant side-effects after administration. i dont like taking ciprofloxacin, cos it it acidic which is not good for ulcer. i dont usually pray to have typhoid cos the treatment is h**** |

I had a terrible typhoid fever in 2008, I was hospitalized in a private clinic. The Doctor said I was not responding to treatment, I could not walk by myself without support. I don't know the drugs I was treated with but I survived. After 2 days of my discharge from the hospital, my ears were ringing, eventually my left ear could not hear again till date. Does anyone have idea what drug could have done this and if it could be reversed? Thks |

2sExy1: Quinine... a foolish doctor gave me over dose, my mum was not around and those around me didn't care much and where less knowledgeable. it affected my ears and almost made me deaf. The right ear never returned to normal... I receive calls only on my left ear and it does most of the hearing for 14 years now. The right one still hears but sounds are like when you deep your ears inside water. I wish there was a solution. I don't like the hearing aid.U shud av sued the doctor for malpractice!!! Are u kidding me;wot kind of doctor was that?? What was even the indication for the quinine in the first place It's not like quinine has a popular use in modern day medicine except in few cases in Paediatrics and Obstetrics. All these still happen in this part of the world coz Nigerians are not yet litigious. It'z well dear. |

Dizziness,bloating,indigestion,acne,weight gain, difficulty breathing, vaginal infection,psychotic thoughts, ulcer- this was all from one drug called dexamethasone which is a steroid. You can't stop it abruptly; it's dose has to be tapered down gradually and also comes with its own wahala- irritability, muscle weakness and loss. It was a complete nightmare. |

I don't know the drugs I was treated with but I survived. After 2 days of my discharge from the hospital, my ears were ringing, eventually my left ear could not hear again till date.It's ur right to know the name of every single drug a doctor gives u. We av a lot of poorly trained doctors,doctors with outdated knowledge,and chances are high dt u meet them in the private hospitals. So u av2b careful wen u source4medical care4rm a doctor who is not a specialist. I don't even want to talk abt others who are not doctors or pharmacists but parade themselves as experts in therapeutics. There are several drugs which are ototoxic(can damage the ear);mayb u av bin given an overdose of such drugs. Mind u it's nt just receiving the overdose that harms,there are other factors that are considered when u're to receive any drug for a long time or in a large dose to avert any possible toxic effect. I think u should go and see an otorhinolaryngologist(ear,nose and throat specialist). Let them mk adequate assessment of ur condition to know how best to help u. U most likely will see them in teaching hospitals or federal medical centres. It'z well. |

Becos i can see Tramadol 400mg ,200mg here. Tramadol is an opioid analgesic used to manage moderate to severe pain which is chronic so for examples accident patients, sickle-cell patients or post-operative patients. It belongs to the family of opiates and is a narcotic to be prescribed by a doctor only. Make sure you let your health professional know if you are on any other medication.It acts on the brain and nervous system to change the way we perceive or react to pain so these could cause some other undesirable effects. Side effects include: dizziness weakness sleepiness difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep headache nervousness uncontrollable shaking of a part of the body muscle tightness changes in mood heartburn or indigestion nausea vomiting diarrhea constipation loss of appetite sweating dry mouth If you experience any of the above persistently you should stop the drug and see your health professional. For those listed below, you should seek emergency treatment as soon as you experience any: seizures fever hives rash blisters difficulty swallowing or breathing swelling of the eyes, face, throat, tongue, lips, hands, feet, ankles, or lower legs hoarseness hallucinations (seeing things or hearing voices that do not exist) agitation loss of consciousness lack of coordination fast heartbeat |
