I have only had the ill effects since. The only additional drug I have had was the anesthetic. Reply From this study (1 week ago): upset stomach and gerd for over 6 weeks . omeprazole x3weeks does not help. am also on detrol la. post total hysterectomy x2years with endrometrial stromal tumor stage 2b. Reply From this study (3 weeks ago): on mothers day 2012 i took a mucinex, just 1 tablet. about 2 hours later i started having a panic attack. i went to see my son who noticed i wasnt myself. he said it was like i was in la-la land. the anxiety continued, intensified, and became more frequent. 3 days later, i couldnt even move out of bed, felt like i was dying and just wanted it to end. my mom convinced me to go to the hospital, and being in my delirious state, forgot to mention taking the mucinex 3 days prior. they gave me 2 ativan and sent me one my way. i dont remember the next 5 days, but apparently it was bad. i got fired from my job for being extremely beligerant and saying some pretty messed up things to customers.(i was a server at a family restaurant.) the really scary part is im a single mom so i was alone with 2 small children and i dont remember a thing. apparently i drove with my children, i tried to run people in walmart over with a bycicle i bought my son for his 6th b-day. i still suffer from anxiety and rarely leave my house. my counselor and i found a site that listed anxiety disorder and seratonin disorder as rare side effects but strangely i can no longer find that article. my doc says symptoms disappear within 12 hours and i of course argued so am currently seeking articles to disprove him. Reply From this study (3 weeks ago): Hospitalized in afib. Cardiac doctors are pointing to enlarged thyroid as problem; endocrinologist is not as sure. Medicines are all new except for lipitor. Reply From this study (3 weeks ago): Kevin Peters Ph.d on Mar, 4, 2013: Sammy, I'm a white 45 male; just wanted to agree on that Klonopin remark. When I was 21 I had my second kidney transplant which was a BAD issue all together, at any rate the hospital did not include my medications taken at home after my surgery. I went thru the worst hallucinations and jerking and seizures you could ever possibly imagine. This went on for almost 3 1/2 weeks before we decided to have me taken OUT of the hospital and relocated before they ended up taking my life. Then the whole staff of paychology including the chief of psychiatry cane in my room to see what they could do, Finallu. During one of my few moments of clarity the C.O.F after blaming me if talking "drugs" prior to my transplant listened to my word of telling him the meds I was on before being admitted. After asking when was the last time I had received my Klonopin and me not knowing, he then reviewed the charts, and didn't see me receiving this med once. He stormed out of the room of about 9 docs and came back in with two Klonopin; for the first time in almost 4 weeks and after three surgeries the first 72 hours I was hospitalized, I was sleeping like a baby, for about 49 hours with NO MORE hallucinations, or seizures or jerking! I finally got out of there without a kidney since that kidney was supposed to go to another man named the same as I in a different city! I do take Xanax and probably always will. The half life on Klonopin is much different hence one if its dangers, Nevwr Ever stop this drug cold! I've been on dialysis 25 1/2 years now and suffered from intense skin cancers, but have fought and done all I can do to live a normal as possible life, working full time except when I'm in yet another surgery, over 32 general anesthetic procedures since 1987. I was the youngest boy-man to ever be on the USA soccer team ready to play in the Korea 1988 Olympics. What a change in life.....
All the Best,
K. Peters Reply chris on Jun, 4, 2011: i have been taking clonzepam and trazedone and my speech is a very hoarse voice, I am wondering if if my speech problem is from these drugs's side effects. Reply TwoDimes on Apr, 15, 2012: Upon occasion, I, too, have become hoarse and from the use of Klonopin. I was VERY hoarse when I tried to cold turkey off of 4mgs of Klonopin. I am now down to 1.5mgs per day and, still, (as I said, upon occasion, I become hoarse. I am sure that the use of Klonopin is the causative factor. - TwoDimes - Reply SammySushi on Jul, 10, 2012: Omigosh, never cold turkey clonopin, esp that high of a dose. My dad had a major seizure and hallucinations doing so. Reply Christophe on Nov, 13, 2012: Hello,
I suffer from Hypothyroidism, High Cholesterol & Cancer survivor because of Zyprexa use and previously being prescribed Carbamezapine causing Thyroid damage. My best advice to you if you don't want Hypothyroidism is have regular blood tests, Thyroid damage can be undetected for up to 5 years with no symptoms found on regular blood tests prematurally. Make sure you buy iodised salt to use on food when eating this will help reduce your risk of getting Hypothyroidism. two signs of Hypothyriodism which the Carbamezapine & Zyprexa medication boxes labels wont tell you is if your face becomes puffed up, red or sun sensitive while taking these medications this is a sign of Hypothyroidism. It wont be found on your blood test but later on it could appear out of the blue. The other sign to look for is baldness or hair loss on your head, this is another symptom. I hope these comments will help you. You have to weight up the benefits and negatives taking medications if you decide to take these medicines or not. It depends on how you cope with the drug side effects.
