Question: I took ambien for a year -- I have been off for about a year -- I started having nightmares, shaking, depression, memory loss, loss of coordination ( I am now using a cane) 70 years of age -- will these side effects go away -- what to do -thank you.

while i was in hospital for a fib problem, i saw a neurologist -- he did a brain scan -- no problems -- told me my problem was anxiety -- so did the speech therapist when she came to see me in hospital -- first time to see either dr -- neuro put me on clonipin (spelling ?) two times a day -- but I cannot take it in daytime -- i keep my grandchildren and the med makes me wozzy -- not safe to take with children here to care for -- every day i am getting shakier , weaker and losing my balance is more noticable -- have appt with pulmanory dr nov 4 maybe he can help but he was kinda upset when i refused to take symbicort after being on it one mo -- my kidneys would not function properly -- he laughed and said he did not believe that the med was the cause --!!! i went to my pri dr and he gave me advair -- i blacked out 3 times while on inhalers -- after i had my problem with heart and was in hosp i noticed my broncial asthma was gone -- no sign of broncial problems now ??? my pri dr has taken me off meloxicam--he said it interfeered with a fib --i have taken it for years--i also stopped taking premerin per emer dr instructions -- i now take 200mg zoloff, thyroid med (by the way--almost all the meds i have been given --on internet i found that if you had thyroid problems, not to take) could there be a med interaction causing the problem -- i take a med for a fib -- dr mcbrayer (heartsouth) am to see him in XXXXXXX 2014-- which dr do i go see --thanks and bless you for trying to help me i am also having problems with eyesight -- i think that is the heart med

thank you for trying to help -- what about the loss of balance (i am now using a walking cane and seem to be getting weaker every day) i can hardly do my housework -- i tire easy and cant get rested -- my hands shake and tremble --i cant write too plain now -- the dr has taken me off my meloxicam and i dont know how i will be after a couple of months --been on this drug long time - my hands are already feeling stiff -- old age has caught up with me -- smile -- thank you and God bless

what does your literature say about a fib and meloxicam -- my pri dr took me off meloxicam because he said it interferred with a fib - but did not give me any other info re the two together - i have not taken the meloxicam in several days and today i had a better day -- hope it continues -- thanks for helping -- blessings to you

AFIB -- like fast heart rate

that is why they put me in hospital - my heart rate was 167 - stayed 4 days in hospital --saw 4/5 heart drs - neurologist - speech therapist - ent -
md (dr XXXXXXX was covering for my pri care dr - dr funderburk)
heart dr gave me med - amiodarone XXXXXXX 200mg - l day (new from hospital stay)
pri dr - levothyroxine 100mcg - 1 day (have taken this for years)
neurologist - clonazepam 1mg - 2 day (new from hospital stay)
sertraline -100mg - 2 day (have taken long time)
ENT - OMPRAZOLE DR 20MG CER - 2 day GERD (TAKEN ONLY SHORT WHILE -- when i went to ent they did two tests and asked me if i smoked -- i told them - NO - they both told me they did not believe me -- strobe shows spots on throat -- my pri dr and i decided this was where i had used nose spray too much and it had run down into my throat -- did not go back to ent - dont think i will!!! -- have appt with heart dr in XXXXXXX hope this helps -- bless you!!!

thanks for your help -- today i had problems with fast heartbeat and am feeling really BAD - i looked up the side effects of amiodarone -- found 17 side effects that i am experiencing -- cannot attribute all these to the drug - also for the last few days i have been using fluticasone propionate nose spray -- am wondering if this is some of problem - have always had allergy/sinus problems -- allergy shots , different meds, have in the past taken zyrtec but i am thinking i dont want to add any more problems -- will wait to take this -- bless you for your continued help

since they have taken me off meloxicam, my body is aching -- what is the best over the counter med for arthritis -- thanks
