Achey legs symptoms and conditions

I have been on the NuvaRing for my 3rd month now. I seriously just went into the bathroom and took it out! I have been having some intense anxiety, and I swear my hair has been thinning out, and feeling depressed. Not to mention I've been gaining weight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I looked at the NuvaRing website and seriously I have experienced almost every single symptom. I have not felt like my normal happy go lucky self the past 3 months and was wondering if it was just me. Now I know it's just the nuvaring. I also experienced extreme extreme headaches. My head feels like it will explode, for hours on end. The only way to get rid of those headaches is to sleep. Also I have never been so chubby in my life, I've always had a nice stomach and now it's getting flabby.... like seriously.... this is not even worth it. I'm so glad that I read this website and that everyone is experiencing the same problems with this as I am. I think I'm going to just stick to condoms bcuz that's going to be so much healthier for me! Too bad if my hubby doesn't like it.... I just can't take all these crazy changes... or else I'm going to go crazy! I've also been kind of crazy like totally filled with anxiety or feelings or resentment. Sex kills with the nuvaring! It hurts so bad. I'm not sure why, but it burns like heck. I've also felt fluid retention, big time! And my legs are super achey. Does anyone else have achey legs? And oh my gosh, my boobs hurt so much from the hormones NR injects into me. I feel like their getting like too big. Also over the past three months I haven't had any appetite, which would make you think that you would loose weight... right? WRONG! I have actually been gaining weight! So dumb! Take my advice and don't go on the NuvaRing, it's a waste of your time... and your life. Your life will change when you go on it, and you won't recognize it at first... but believe me, it will. I've also experienced the brown discharge for the first month, and changes in my menstrual cycle. & on my honeymoon I got a yeast infection bcuz the NuvaRing!!!!!!!!! That was pretty much the worst!

I've been on birth control for 10 years and recently had to switch. My doctor put me on Yasmin. I've been on it for 3 weeks, and for the past week I've felt crazy, especially in the past 2 days. My heart has been racy, I've had intense anxiety, I've been extremely sensitive. Overall, I'm happy with my life and have nothing to feel sad or anxious about, but that is all I've been feeling. I also have felt like I can't sleep good for the past 2 nights. I wake up really hot, sweaty and with achey legs. I'm done with this pill!!!!!!!!!!

Our doctor prescribed Singulair for our 4 year old as a preventative measure for bronchitis this past Friday (July 7th). That night, she was up every 2 to 3 hours saying that she's scared and that her legs hurt. She has slept through the night since she was 6 weeks old, so this was shocking to us. We just thought that because she was sick she wasn't sleeping well...even though other times she's sick this didn't happen.

Saturday, Sunday, Monday went by and each night she woke every few hours...crying and crying. She was dreading bedtime (this was also strange). On Tuesday, I found this site and read all the stories....and many of them were similar to our situation. My wife and I talked about it and we decided to take our daughter back to the doctor on Wednesday to let her know that we'd like her to try an alternative medication because of her reactions to her meds. She listened to her lungs and said just to stop the meds...she sounds ok now.

Wednesday night...still woke up....but fewer times. Last night...slept from 8pm to 8am!!! Was in a great mood, no talking about nightmares or achey legs!!

Beware of this medication....we will not be using it for our little girl ever again!!! Thanks to eveyone who shared their story.

i never put two and two together, but around 3 yrs ago is when i started singulair and since then i have had some strange things happen. lots of insomnia nights, forgetfullness, memory loss, fatigue, achey legs sometimes just feeling weak. chest pain, stomach pain. i am quitting singulair today as we speak. i am so glad i have made this decision. last night was the first night in awhile i actually slept good. i hope i see a big difference. i have only been off about 6 days, by accident i ran out of medication and couldn't take it, then i noticed how i have been feeling different, better.
