I took this drug for a brief time in the second grade. Very soon I started having headaches, water retention, etc. I was taken to the hospital and was in there a week recovering from near kidney failure. Starting in my teen years to the present time I have trouble achieving and maintaining a erection, my desire is 1/10th of my friends my age, and even with the use of viagra/cialis I don't have a normal working penis.

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.

My son went into complete kidney failure by being on topamax .. Creatine level was 20. DR's have never ever seen a level that high... He is lucky to be alive!,,!! Luckily only 1 of his kidneys have been obstructed. Hoping his other kidney will be ok !!!
