Anyone on salmeterol (SEREVENT) had side effects from it?
140289
It is a long acting B agonist. The blue inhaler ventolin is for more immediate treatment of symptoms. The salmeterol works over a longer time. The side effects are the same as ventolin....fine tremor, mild anxiety, fast heart rate. The dose of drug is very small because it is inhaled. These side effects are negligable compared to the panic and tight chest of an asthma attack.

Yes, itching is a side effect. Kinda cute, people think you have some sort of tick.

I know the sensation you're talking about. I was on Paxil for a while and when I was comming off it I got rushes through my head (felt like electricity), plus I'd get dizziness along with it that felt a little bit like vertigo. I cut my dose down gradually over about a month or so. Have you tried 75mg for a week then 50mg for a week, then 25mg for a week, then one every other day for a week?

Yes, I have, my ovrvo made me feel very tired and faint, i also experienced blurred vision and cramps. I dont know what causes it exactly but it does happen.

Yes a long time ago.  It made me really sleepy.  The doctor gave it to me for some chronic shoulder pain.  He told me to quit taking it. Just call your family physican with any questions.  You can always leave a voice mail with the nurse.  They will call you back.  Or call any pharmacy with questions.

As Dr lentfer said it is now off the market and largely unavailable. I have taken it in the past for weight loss and alertness and found it to definitely reduce my appetite and also improve my alertness, but I also felt very nervous, had "palpitations" and had trouble sleeping even up to 16 hours after taking it! I do not recommend it, I feel the ill effects are worse than the benefits.

seroquel although a new anti psychotic, made me feel like a zombie. I have been through so many diagnosis's over the past several months and low and behold I am no longer bi-polar 2!  Coming off it was a relief, I do however miss the sleep. While hospitalized they forgot to give it to me for a week and strangely enough the effects were minor.  Ask your doctor for a sleep med if only for a short term to get yourself back on track. The new ones are great but expensive and better yet non addictive... but then again they said effexor wasn't either.  Get some sleep meds.

I've been on it for about 4 months and I love it.  No pain and best of all no PMS symptoms.  Side effects I've had included forgetfullness and diarrea.  Also, a few migraines, but I had those before as well.  I also love not having a period.\n\nI tried Lupron too, but it made me crazy.  Headaches every day and wicked mood swings.

The answer is "yes" and "no". I used it several years ago and found that it just made me unbelieveably hyper. I moved so fast that I looked like I was drugged up! In fact, I was downright clumsy. I shook and jittered like a nervous cup of coffee, and after 3 months started vomiting so hard I passed out a couple of times before it was discovered that I'd developed a reaction to the chemical. I highly recommend that you stay away from it. I nearly died.

I've used it before, when I was pregnant, it took a couple of hours to kick in, but the 'runs' came big time for hours and hours...then I went into labor!  \nI don't recall if I had cramps, just that nasty rumbling in the stomach.

It is not a common side effect, though it is considered a rare one. I would call your doctor, as water retention is a rare side effect of this medication

I took it for about 2 years.  It cost me about $40/month.  Started out as $30/month but then my insurance changed.  It will depend on your insurance.\n\nI have taken Triphasil which made me puke all the time.  Ortho Mircronor gave me a period every other week - Yuck.  I'm on Lo-Ovral now and it is ok.  My periods are heavier though and I cramp more.  Yasmin worked best for me except that it gave me headaches.  It got to the point that I didn't want to deal with them anymore.  You need to be on something for at least 3 months before you can make a decision.  It takes that long for your body to get used to it.

Mine aren't bad. I'll get cramps a couple of days before my period (which is how I know it's about to start). Occationally my lower back will hurt and I'll use something warm as my heating pad (my cat or dog usually =P). But if I take midol I'm great ^_^\n\nMy older sister gets bad cramps and basically medicates herself with midol. She's scary. She'll tell me to take 3 pills then 2 more in less than 4 hours XD
