Heart Failure

After taking this for just 2 days, my ankles and then feet started to swell. I became short of breathe and soon had a hard time climbing stairswalking and talking at he same time. By day 5 my feet ankles and calves had balooned and my chest started to constrict, I became sweaty and had chest pains, my abdomen swelled, i felt exhausted. I called the nurses line because my feel and legs were so swollen and tingly i could not bear it. She told me that iI was experiencing heart failure. I was rushed to the hospital where they did serveral tests. My heart rate was very low (42 per min) and I had fluid in my lungs. After 20 hours in emergency and 14 tests, they concluded that it was the Noroxin. I went off the drug, my swelling went down, my energy level is returning. Please be very careful when taking this drug. Recognize that swelling of the ankles or feet means that your heart is not functioning well enough and that you are experiencing heart failure. Stop taking this drug immediately if you feel short of breath or have swelling in your feet, ankles or belly!

I have been on Wellbutrin XL for 2 weeks now....I started off on 150mg and after major anxiety attacts I was put on 300mg...I have noticed that my feet are puffy and tingely...I feel slight swelling in my face...from time to time it feels as if my brain is zinging, thats the only way I can describe it. Further more I feel great,my mood is under control although I feel more emotionless than anything else...I'm just so tired of switching meds..My doctor gave me a prescription for Lexamil 10mg and said I could try that too....should I rather leave Wellbutrin and go to Lexamil?I'm honest the weight loss on Wellbutrin is an awesome positive because everything else made me fat and that made me depressed.....What to do?
