I have been taking Diltiazem, as Angitil, 180mg twice a day, for the better part of a decade (for angina of unknown cause, and as an adjunct to my COPD meds) yet recently it has, for want of a better term, turned on me (I have severe COPD [never smoked] and severe CFS – so identifying the cause of new symptoms is difficult given the number of drugs I take (16).

Anyway, about six months ago, I began to experience nausea in the mornings, and I also became progressively weaker, both of which I ascribed to my CFS.

However, last Sunday I ran out of Angitil (my pharmacist had failed to deliver), and on Monday morning, I was surprised to encounter almost no nausea, and felt reasonably OK (for me), throughout the day. Tuesday night I remembered I had a couple of Angitil caps squirreled away, so I put one aside to take this morning.

I take my morning meds at 05.00 (British time) – by 06.15 I was subjected to such devastating nausea that I was forced to return to bed, instead of getting up and now, at 13.55, I still feel pretty dreadful.

There’s no doubt in my mind that the culprit is Angitil and, from what I’ve just read, it may be the cause of my weakness, too. From now on, it’s off the menu.

I’ll talk to my doctor about it as soon as I’m able (I can’t get out, he doesn’t make house calls), as I’m beginning to view Diltiazem as pretty damn dangerous – the only mystery being why I had so few problems for so long.

Something does not ring true about the FDA’s claim… by Bruce Alan

Something does not ring true about the FDA’s claim that it has properly monitored of Cephalon’s Provigil. Provigil first hit the shelves in 1998. That means it took the FDA 9 years to determine, warn the public, and order Cephalon to modify its labeling to include a bolded warning of Provigil’s ability to cause delayed-type hypersensitivity reactions. That warning claimed that just 6 patients over the course of that 9 years had developed the warned-about delayed-reaction hypersensitivy conditions, including Stevens-Johnson Syndrome, TENS & D.R.E.S.S. (Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms). Before the FDA ever released its late 2007 warning, my own doctor reported my own Provigil hypersensitivy reactions to the FDA. His report about me appears accurately summarized on Patientsville.com. But on just 1/2 of the same “page” of Patientsville.com (reports made prior to the FDA’s warning), I counted at least 6-7 cases of Stevens-Johnson Syndrome and 2 or 3 other hypersensitivity reactions. That’s a bare minimum of 9 cases of serious Provigil side effects reported to the FDA in just a single year! How can that information square with Patientsville.com’s data, which itself is based on actual reports to the FDA!

Another thing – the FDA reports published by Patientsville for all nine years indicates that about twenty (20) deaths stemming from Provigil use have occurred. The FDA’s public warning claimed that no deaths at all have been caused by Provigil. Look it up yourself if you must, then give us your thoughts about FDA credibility.
