  • I have had hypersecretions from benzodiazepines before. but now I'm on fluconazole for severe cough and symptoms of thrush. I believe it's actually a side effect of klonopin and provera. My cbc, chest xray and barium swallow were all normal.

  • From this study (1 week ago):

  • I taken prilosec daily about ten years ago with no adverse effects. Recently I began taking it again, but only occassionally for a few day period of time, because I do not have heartburn daily. I took one prilosec and within 30 mins. was in anaphalaxic shock, this was severe and required me to stay over night in the hospital. My tongue swelled as did the rest of my body, my throat closed and I also experienced bouts of sneezing, constant running nose. The swelling did not go down for three days and now 4 days past and I am still itchy, sneezy and tired. I am still on Prednosone and benydryl evry 6 hours. The doctors told me, they are surprised that anyone would have anaphalaxis from prilosec. I have had a severe reaction to previcid, years prior. the only other finding was I had very low potassium levels (2.3) with no known cause.
