5pm symptoms and conditions

I've never done this so hopefully it goes where it is supposed to.... I am a 24 year old mommy of 2. I have been on wellbutrin (generic) since late march. So about 3 months. My problem wasn't really depression, but anger. I have always had a short fuse, but I was getting ridiculous with my 4 year old daughter and even I knew it. Well, I was on the 150 xl for a month and a half, then asked the dr. to switch me to something that I could take 2 times a day because the xl wore off right around 5pm and gave me headaches.... So now I am on 150 sr 2 times a day. I have to say that it really is helping me. I kinda feel emotionless sometimes, but I'll take that over feeling like I might rip someones head off. On top of working on the anger, so far I have lost about 25 lbs! I got on the mirena (huge, horrible, god awful mistake) after having my 2nd child and gained about 20 lbs in 1 year. (it also made me the reincarnation of satan)
So, good side effects: No longer angry all the time, no longer fat
And, bad side effects: No sex drive (may be due to 2 kids, not the pills), blurry vision, oily hair, dry mouth (which causes really bad breath in the morning) and I swear, I had Restless Leg syndrome when I was preggers the first time and it was HORRIBLE! It seems that now I have Restless feet syndrome :D My feet always feel like I'm spreading my toes apart (even though I'm not) Don't know what the heck that's all about, but figured I'd throw it in :D I'm also on YAZ which from what I read isn't the best BCP, so maybe I should get off of it.

This is my 2nd pack of Alesse, and I think i'm going to stop after i am done with this pack. I am experiencing breakthrough bleeding all the time, im irritable, i get lightheaded all the time, and i cant keep away from sweets! With the breakthrough bleeding, I feel like i'm getting my period and i get the cramps and back pain along with it. I know it's due to this pill because I have 2 kids and I am very into healthy eating and working out and i have a lot of will power when it comes to sweet food and chocolate. Also, by 5pm or 6pm, I am soooo fatigued that I can't even drive, I just want to sleep! People say to be patient and give it a few months, i totally disagree, I am not going to mess up my body. i think I am just going to stop birth control overall and try a different method of birth control.

I'm a 34 y/o female. I've had a double ear infection and a swollen lymph node for nearly three weeks - I was on a 10 day course of augmenting which did nothing for the infection. I went back to the doctor's yesterday - I was given a 10 day dose of Avelox. I took my first pill at 5pm about an hour later I was feeling very itchy, twenty minutes after that my face and chest broke out in huge angry hives. I wasn't having trouble breathing, but the itching was out of control - I also had the bad stomach pains. I woke up this morning and there are still several hives on my face that are huge and sore. I will never take Avelox again, and I'm telling everyone I know to stay far away from it. It should be pulled!

I was prescribed budeprion150xr on April 6 after an ER visit having MDD and took over 6mg of klonopin..anyway during the day and a half stay I asked the nurses desk if I could get my bupropion SR 200mg and was working fine and they said they would call the hospital pharmacy and never got at 7am,12pm,nothing then I talked to the attending doctor at 5pm and told that I couldn't take it. I had severe headaches and ask also for Advil or Tylenol..nothing. Next day same excuse...horrible hospital. the prescribed me the newer budeprion. took it next day and felt sleepy and more depressed I slept three hours in the afternoon,feel irritable,robotic and an urge to leave and never come back to where I live. 7 days of hell..I am going back to bupropion 200mg sr...what a nightmare!!

I had the Mirena coil fitted in Dec 06. For 12 months, I had horrid slutchy loss P.V but no actual periods. I had increase in spots, all along my jawline and hairline and cheeks....acne at 45!! Something I'd never had as a teenager. My weight has gained because I'm always, always hungry and seem to have lost my appetite control button. My breasts are constantly tender and feel enormous like just before a period or in early pregnancy. I am so, so tired. I find myself nodding off at 5pm even when I've had a really good previous nights' sleep. My energy is zilch. I feel tearful and run down despite eating well and taking vitamin supplements. Is it the Mirena? My doctor has said "No!". The only way to find out is have it removed, return to heavy periods and suck it and see! However, if I don't have it out, I fear I may reach 15 stone!! (went from 9st 9lbs to 11st 4lbs in 2 yrs).

My doctor thinks I might have PCOS, which is why I went in the first place after reading up on the subject. I've always had random periods, and if I miss a couple months, they can last up to a month with heavy bleeding. I thought it might be wise to go get some help in regulating. At 27, I'm tired of 15 years like this. She gave me Loestrin24Fe because when I took birth control in high school for about two weeks, I turned into a raging monster that would have attacked anyone.

I'm on my second week of the pack, and bleeding heavy. I have an opposite schedule than most people (I'm naturally a late night to early morning person and no amount of work changes it) so I take it when I get up in the afternoon (around 5pm). I've been bleeding the same way I bleed when I haven't had a period in four months. This? Is unacceptable. If I wanted unreliability, I'd have just avoided getting an OBGYN in the first place.

Reading the side effects and replies here, I'm also wondering if the weird episode I had last week is related. I woke up dizzy when I went to the bathroom. I remember getting dizzy twice in there at random times, nearly falling against my tub, and then falling in my bedroom, passed out for a couple hours. I also had a severe migraine, like no lights could be on, not even the computer as back lighting so I don't stumble in the dark. I'm lucky that I wasn't concussed, but this is just not okay.

Later today, I'm going to call my doc since I need to call my endocrinologist anyway for sick meds. And I'm stopping the pills today. I got off my bed after takeout last night, to clean up, and noticed this insane amount of blood underneath that bled onto the mattress. No more of this.

I am a female and was diagnosed with Hashimoto's three years ago (looking at old childhood photos I've probably had this all my life) and have taken Levoxyl and Synthroid in escalating doses over time. Initially 25mcg for about a year and that was the endo plan until bloodwork indicated a need for more. I quit taking it after a year as it seemed I was gaining weight. After a few months went to a different endo and he started the treatment again with 25 (I weighed 160 at the time) and now has worked it to 100mcg (I now weigh 178!!!). I thought that with the higher dose I would have more of a weight loss effect (definitely not weight gain) and thought I'd have more energy, better brain function and happier outlook. I am experiencing the complete opposite. The last time I visited the endo and he looked at my weight gain he just said to "stop it". I work out almost every day for 45 minutes to 2 hours, have a job that at times requires arduous work, I eat a very healthy diet full of fiber, low in fat, low in carbs. I'm always hungry and feel like eating to make up for a lack of energy. I come home from work exhausted. This isn't living. I've had it with the Synthroid and any form of T-4 alone. I'm going to see a natural healthcare professional to try Armour because none of the medical doctors I've seen will prescribe it or synthetic T-3.

I took aviane a year or so ago for about 2 months and stopped. I was just recently put back on it due to pain in my lower abdomen ( suspected cyst). Although there were not too many horrible side effects from the last time i took aviane, this time I HATE IT! I eat everything in sight, i want to cry at every given moment, i want to punch everyone in the face, i am mean to my BF and don't want to have sex. I have never experienced such wackiness.

I have gained about 5-10 pounds in the past 3 weeks (im almost to the sugar pills) and i have gotten horribly depressed/mean. I don't like this. Luckily though im not nauseous or have jaundice or pain behind my eyes or anything, but i do sleep like ALL day. I will go to bed around 4 am, wake up at 2pm take a nap around 5pm until about 7 or 8pm and then be up til 4 am... eating...uncontrollably..while yelling at anyone insight. BEWARE OF SYNTHETIC HORMONES!

I can't figure out how come I can't lose any weight when I am exercising like a madwoman and making a huge effort to eat properly. My stomach seems to get BIGGER and BIGGER.. no matter what I do. I look pregnant!!! Nothing is comfortable except sweat pants. I've never had a problem losing weight in the past and I'm only 27 so I don't think its metabolism yet. I finally wondered if it was from my Mirena but I don't remember that being a side effect, so I googled 'side effects' and it brought me here. Now I definitely think it's from Mirena.

I also have had HORRIBLE depression and no energy, as if 24/7 PMS (except worse than PMS) and when I AM having real PMS it is absolutely crippling. I spoke with my doctor and she just put me on Prozac. The Prozac makes it go away... but I always thought it was strange to go on another medication instead of fixing the problem.

I've had the Mirena since September 2006 which is strangely enough right when I started gaining weight. I always thought it was because I also lost my job and was sitting around at home more often...

I didn't notice the depression being really bad until about a year into it... But looking back I do recognize some more than usual moodiness all along.
I was broken out a lot more on my face and back.. but I control that by using expensive skincare products. Luckily I live in a dry climate and I have dry skin so it is fairly easy to control.
I HAVE NO SEX DRIVE and I haven't in a long time. Sometimes being touched makes my skin actually crawl.
I sweat a lot more, I can't seem to keep from having B.O no matter how much deodorant I slather on. I took a shower last night at 5pm and woke up with B.O already. I've never had that problem before going on Mirena.

I have experienced nausea lately but it comes and goes.. and I figured it was the Prozac as that is listed as a side effect and it started right after I began that medication. So I'm not sure if that's from the Mirena or the Prozac.
I don't have stomach pains or dizziness or weird vision.

After reading this site I am definitely scheduling to have my IUD removed.

I am at the end of my first pack of pills, YAZ.

I have a condition called Chiari and I also suffer from hormonal migraines. I started getting migraines on Thursday before I was to start my period on Sunday.

The difference is, not only did I get my typical migraines, I also became extremely nauseous. I was violently ill on Thursday night after taking my migraine pills (a common, weekly occurrence). I made it to work on Friday but ended up going straight home at 5pm.

I spent the entire weekend on my couch, with a cold wet washcloth on my face. I used a spray bottle to wet my hair to keep my head cool. The nausea never went away until I actually started Sunday afternoon.
