What is the difference between a bad reaction or an allergic reaction? I had to go the the er last night i was having some bad pain (turned to be a uti) and they gave me toradol for pain... well after about 20 mins. i started twitching really bad got cold and started having chest pains, i know that this was probably just a bad reaction, but still how do you tell the difference between the 2?

pathfinder replied: "A bad reaction may NOT be allergy related."

froggsfriend replied: "A bad reaction is usually behaviorally centered, but an allergic reaction is physical."

P&Rsmommy replied: "I don't understand your question. You want to know the difference between a reaction or a reaction? ?!?!?!?"

Cali-Gal replied: "Usually an allergic reaction would consist of breaking out in a rash and/or swelling (mostly in the neck and head area). An allergic reaction can be mild or it can cause death. It is usually treated with some sort of anti-histimine such as benydril or something stronger depending on the severity of the reaction."

Stiches replied: "A bad reaction can just be something totally irrational compared to an allergic one. Also an allergic reaction can be deadly. bad reaction don't have to be bad."

Justin H replied: "This is really something you should discuss with your doctor. But I would describe a "bad" reaction as an upset stomach because you didn't take it with food, or possibly something that reacts badly with another medication in your system. The first can be uncomfortable, the second could be life threatening. You have an allergic reaction when your body sees a foreign substance it doesn't have antibodies for and triggers an immune system response. This can include anything from hay fever symptoms (like runny nose, itchy eyes, coughing ,sneezing, etc) to breaking out in hives or a rash to going into anaphylactic shock. Mild symptoms can be treated with an antihistamine like Benadryl, but sever symptoms require immediate medical attention and could result in death."

David J replied: "An allergic reaction is usually characterized by certain signs and symptoms, namely a red rash on the skin, puffyness or swelling of the eyes, lips or other parts of the body depending on what was taken and how it was taken. These things are usually constant for an allergic reaction. There are also four different types of allergic reaction according to Gel and Coombs classification. A bad reaction could be anything from a chest pain to vomiting to dizzyness or even double vision, but this is NOT an allergy."

Lysithia replied: "An allergic reaction is just what the previous two answerers said, an immune-system modulated reaction to a substance that your body has antibodies to. Any range of symptoms from a mild rash to upper airway swelling to a very drastic drop in blood pressure. This includes anaphylaxis/shock and can cause death. Generally, we classify a "bad" reaction as a side effect of the medication that is intolerable or unusually pronounced. Such as extreme nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, slight itching (actually a very common side effect of opiates), or a ridiculous amount of other things. Like another poster suggested, for sure speak with your regular physician next time you go in, and maybe consider allergy tests just to make sure for next time."

Tapestry6 replied: "I had an allergic reaction.. you start feeling really weird, then itchy, you break out in hives, your eyes swell up and the next step you can't breath. I was lucky to get to the ER before that last part happened! They hit me with epinephrine and everything calmed within minutes. What you had was a bad reaction, but let your doctor know so they don't give you that stuff again."

Toradol reactions? I was wondering if anyone else has ever had negative effects with toradol via IV? I've tried to explain to ER doctors that it causes extreme restlessness (Akathisia) that makes me literally want to siphon it out of my viens, but I'm generally told that it's in my head. Upon reflection, I've found that since I have intestines that tend to bleed (Crohns Disease), not to mention I'm on prozac and xanax (which shouldn't be mixed with toradol) that it's a poor choice for the doctors to give me whenever I need pain meds; however most ERs nowadays refuse to administer dilaudid and/or demerol due to dependency issues (sad for me since the two work wonders in comparison). Personally, I feel if abused even toradol could become an issue in that sense... but that's neither here nor there. Anyone else become twitchy, restless, or otherwise bug out when given toradol?

JP replied: "I have never taken it, but a contraindication to Toradol is gastrointestinal bleeding so the doctors shouldn't be giving it to you...I would find another ER to go into."

Gard23 replied: "Would some of these terms cover it? "Nervous System: abnormal dreams, abnormal thinking, ANXIETY, asthenia, confusion, depression, euphoria, EXTRAPYRAMIDAL SYMPTOMS, hallucinations, HYPERKINESIS, inability to concentrate, insomnia, NERVOUSNESS, paresthesia, somnolence, stupor, TREMORS, vertigo, malaise " As listed on the oral drug sheet."
