Have you ever had an allergic reaction or a negative effect from a medication?

After years of having taken Bactrim, on July 5th, I had anaphylactic shock. My mother had the same issue, around the same age, with the same medication.

While my daughter was going through different medication combinations to deal with her mental illness, she had a lot of medication side effects. Everything from suicidal ideation to sleeping 21 hours a day. The side effects were difficult. We finally found the right combination. For us, in the end, it was worth going through it. She is doing well.

Yes im allergic to painkillers like methodone and morphine i break out in handcuffs and go to jail

Yes. Amoxicillin. I break out in horrible hives.

I don't think that I have, however my grandma had a bad reaction to a vaccine several years ago. It made her very poorly and caused her to become paralysed, so she spent a long time in hospital. She made a full recovery, thankfully, but it was a worrying time

Yes, severe allergic😨 reaction to penicillin💉 and shellfish 🦀.

Pyridium....it's a urinary tract anesthetic that's supposed to help with the pain of a urinary tract infection...gives me a migraine....I'll take the discomfort of the urinary tract infection!

My doc put me on anti-inflammatories (forget which one) to try to cope with arthritis pain. I reacted so badly that I decided the pain was better.

Whichever antibiotics are Sulpha antibiotics -I get VERY sick  and break out in hives.

and I have really really REALLY bad panic attacks, paralyzing ones.  They prescribed "Buspar" for them which can take a month to finally work ,  but I can't get past the horrible horrible headaches and nausea to see if it will even work.

I had to go out today and had another panic attack in the store so once again, I will try them out again tomorrow and see if it doesn't make me so sick again.

My whole life would change if I could get these panic attacks under control.

around 2 years ago I had a swollen eye. The doctor gave me an ointment and I got acne all over my face, yikes! I'm happy it is gone now

I cannot take antihistamines. They drop my blood pressure, they will dilate my eyes for days, I get tunnel vision and I can pass out.

And while the contrast dye they give you prior to CAT scan is not medicine, I am allergic to it. I learned ALL the places you can get hives. Which is ANY place you have skin. Now picture being covered in hives. (Again everywhere that you have skin including in your  mouth and ears, and more personal places.) And not being able to take any antihistamines. Cranky wouldn't even begin to describe my attitude during that 24+ hours of my life.

Yes, it was Cephalexin ! Made me sick as all get out. Never touch that one again.

Novacain, I blacked out.
