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 mehn

My 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.

I have a sulpha allergy, cant take septrin (co-trimoxazole), gives me skin irritation and anxiety

laivwire: I had a wide black smear like a birthmark after using septrin when little. later learnt I was allergic to pyrimethrin or something. 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 mehn

hallucinogenics ain't anti-malarial brotzah...

Septrin usually gave me big patches of burnt skin then. My parents never knew d cause until d same happened to my kid sis a day after she used septrin.

eleojo23: Drugs are taken primarily to alleviate or cure illnesses. Most of the time, these drugs come with unpleasant side-effects after administration.
In my childhood years, chloroquine was my nightmare because of the terrible itching it gave me. I took procold sometime in 2009 and it caused me serious stomach disturbance.
There are some persons who react to sulphur-containing drugs.

Feel free to share the unpleasant drug side-effects you've experienced in the course of treating an illness.

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

Rashes on my arms and feet.

kilokeys: alcohol should be classified as a drug too

remembered the new year's eve of 2008.. downed 25cl of a popular spirit..

the next thing i knew was, i was holding unto my bed so tightly so i wouldn't fall into the ceiling fan above

lyk wtf....u got me cracking

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.

[color=#000099][/color]CHLOROQUIN!!!

hmm... Mine was finding the 70 year old granny living in the next building unbelievably attractive. That malaria nearly spoil my life.

[color=#006600][/color] Novalgin. It hijacked my nervous system and almost crippled me. My right leg was trotting like that of a horse.

By the way. This is my first ever comment on NL

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.

Its just like panadol. But when taken in excess(overdoze) it makes one feel high, and also stamina when having sex.

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.

Dgaffer: Its chroloquine cos it itches me ad somtyns paracetamol cos I neva goes down 4rm my gullet, dats y I hate taking drugs 4 anytyn

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
