thought I probably had a deep sinus infection, based on swollen glands in
my neck and slight cold symptoms now and then.  So I took Zithromax for 11

I am 60y and recently had a tube in-planted in my right ear and now my

Hi. First I was on Zoloft for 2 years and I had hardly any side
effects. Then I stopped using Zoloft and switched to Effexor for 6
months. 3 months ago I started using Zoloft again and since then I
have developed sinusitis that I can't get rid off. Symptoms I

I've been back to work for 2 days now and my bloody nose is back. I
thought it was from my nasonex.  I always knew that it was dry at work
but have never had the contrast until now.
