im a 28 yr old male taking this med for 3 weeks i developed a rash type thing on my balls and penis they are itchy and red kinda raw ive also had swollen lips that cracked in the corner of my mouth. ive also developed a allergic rash on my face that made my face swell to the point i almost cant see out of my left eye my ears are red hot swollen and f ing itchy my doctor told me to take a couple bennies and stop the LISINOPRIL to see if that was the issue at hand ill come back to reply to let you know if this is my allergic reaction any body know a good bp med that doesn't suck ?

Our son has a non-allergic rash to penicillin at age 1, so he was put on zithromax to cure his bronchitis. Since then, he's had no antibiotics. Until last week, at age 6-and-a-half, when the doctor diagnosed an ear infection. He's been on Omnicef for a week, and has been very irritable! Flies off the handle at any moment, growls at his siblings... he has just generally lost the ability to "deal" with things. Our younger son has been on Omnicef twice for ear infections, and has had NO adverse reactions to it, other than some very loose stool, which is almost expected. I guess it works differently for each person!

I just went to the doctor for an allergic rash on my feet and they took my BP. It was really high, but I was just laid off, got a new job and have been on it for two days. On top of that, I took a diet pill called Zip Fizz today just hours before going to the Dr. All of this with the job has happened in the last two weeks and on top of that, they had me train my replacement. The doctor prescribed Lisinopril, but after reading all of this, I will not take it. I already have asthma, a rash, kidney damage, gagging and do not want to get more symptoms. I believe my BP will go down as soon as the caffeine in the diet pill wears off. Thanks to all of you and this website for helping me make this decision.

Hi, ive been on Yasmin now for 1 month and 3 days. A few days after starting it I got a rash on my chest and upper arms which i thought was sparked by the sun/heat. It went away and then a week later my skin slowly started to get itchier and itchier until I was covered in a rash from my ankles to my neck. I looked like I had a weird disease. Even the doctors were impressed, but no one could help. We suspected the pill as it was the only thing that was new to my system, but then it disappeared and we put it down to being caused by stress. Ive just started the next month (like I say 3 days into it) and once again I find myself scratching an feeling basically itchy and very very tired (not that it is unusual the tiredness I have to say, it just seems a little more than normal). I am now pretty sure it is the pill, but am nervous just to stop taking it. I just don't want to go through all that ive just been through with the previous rash, it was HORRENDOUS! Has anyone else had such a severe rash reaction? They were red, itcy spots with a watery kind of top to them........

My son was diagnosed with his first ear infection at 12 months old. He was prescribed Amoxicillin, but broke out in an allergic rash. We were then prescribed Omnicef ($50 WITH insurance!). He wasn't even on it for 24 hours and started vomiting anything and everything he put in his stomach. I gave him about a day to see if it was a stomach virus, but it continued. I called the doctor's office who told me to take him off the Omnicef and see if the vomiting continued. Within 24 hours, all vomiting stopped, so I called the doctor's office back and was given our 3rd and final antibiotic...Zithromax...which was the cheapest of the three.

Although I am not a woman, my fiance is using nuvaring, and on her 2nd day, she's vomited 2 or 3 times. I went to a professional health web-site that listed the "COMMON" side effects of nuvaring, which are:

More common side effects may include:
Abdominal cramps, allergic rash, bloating, blood clots, breakthrough bleeding and spotting, breast secretions, change in menstrual flow, changes in the breast such as tenderness or enlargement, dark pigmentation of the skin, decreased milk production in nursing mothers, depression, emotional instability, gallbladder disease, headaches, heart attack, high blood pressure, intolerance to contact lenses, liver disease, liver tumors, migraine headaches, missed periods, nausea, problems with the ring, sinus inflammation, stroke, swelling, temporary infertility after discontinuing NuvaRing, upper respiratory tract infections, vaginal inflammation or discharge, vision problems, vomiting, weight gain or loss, yeast infections, yellow tint to the skin

These are DANGEROUS side effects. not to mention they're "common". i don't know what you girls must be going through, but I really don't want my fiance going through these things. she's always been really sensitive to medicine and changes in her medicine. I am not a gullible person and I'm usually pretty skeptical when it comes to things like this, but I honestly do not think that NuvaRing is a stable product. As one other girl on here mentioned, my fiance recieved a sample and prescription for it. we read through literally EVERYTHING she received, NO side effects listed *whatsoever* She's already had problems in the past with depression, this is really the last thing she needs.

This is more of a vent. sorry to waste space, but people need to know what they're putting in their bodies.

If this WAS a safe product, they would freely and openly tell the people they're handing these rings out to, the common side effects. BUT if they did that, no one would buy this thing. It seems more like quick release of a new product without proper testing.

Stay SAFE! just because a doctor gives it to you, doesn't mean its safe.

I had a kenalog injection in Sep of 2003 in my upper arm for an allergic rash. Two months later an indent appeared and gradually got worse until March 2004. Now in June, some of the muscle is growing back (its was just thin skin a bones for a while!). The fat doesn't appear to be growing back and the skin is scarred and discolored. I noticed some acne around it for a while and some dark hairs have grown around it (a few shades darker than my arm hair). I think that I will always have some small scarring and deformation, but at last it is healing! No doctors could tell me anything..just to wait it out.
Also for a few months after the shot (5 months) I had periods with horrible cramps that were only about 20 days apart. I don't know if that was related, but I am back to normal now.
