im in such pain i just want the stuff out of my body ASAP plus this drug didnt take my headaches away either.could it be because im not on any seizure meds yet or was this from the drug or could it be something else.

I did ok with it....everyone is different- good to know what it can do for some, so they know they they may be looking at. Could be symptoms from that medication alone, interactions with others, or unrelated, but coincidentally happened. I would expect a reaction to happen sooner than 7 days, but people have taken meds at different times (or eaten certain foods for years) and then had a sudden reaction to it, or another companies formulation...

i dont think it was the drug now my endo thinks i went hyper and im suppose to be hypo so it prob wasnt the drug she had me stopped that drug and my thyrold meds and so far im not having any headaches well i am but not nothing like i was so my thyrold meds could have done this or i went hyper.
thanks vickie

Hi Vickie,

I just went to GP today,after breathing problems and bad
headache off and on for the last 5 days,and he told me to
cut out as much as the caffeine as I could.I can drink almost
a gallon of tea a day,so I now have to make it with decaf tea
bags.

Take care,Sherri

Wow, you're gonna have caffiene withdrawl headaches- can you slowly trade the decaf bags for the regular ones, so it's a gradual thing, and you don't suffer with caffiene withdrawl headaches- they're almost like migraines......jmho

Hi,

I think I was having some sugar withdrawal symptoms.But,now that
we figured out that it was all because of the Zoloft,I am back to
my caffeine,with no problems.

Take care,Sherri :)

It's hard with more than one med- I take 13 different meds daily (about 22 different pills), and it's hard to know what causes what.

Neuro,

Wow!! I can just imagine,13 different meds.I am only on 3,
it would have been 4 with the Zoloft.I only take Keppra,Tegretol
and now the Ativan,was on prozac for years.

Take care,Sherri
