Amber symptoms and conditions

Hello. I just finished the one month starter pack of Lamictal for depression. I've been noticing some strange things going on with me lately but did not make the connection to the Lamictal until I spoke with my pharmacist (while picking up my official prescription). Mainly the info warned of dizziness, sleeping issues, heart racing and sinus issues. I have had ALL of these. Two weeks into taking the medication I can't sleep well at night. I wake up and my heart is racing. I have to go watch TV to settle down. Plus, I'm extremely EXHAUSTED all day. And finally, the worst symptom is my sinus issues. I have constant mucous in my throat and pressure in my sinuses. I have the worst headaches. I'm popping Advil to deal with my sinus pressure. It's agony. Plus, I'm not motivated and I think I'm a little depressed. I'm going to discuss getting off this medication with my doctor tomorrow.

30 seconds after i received my injection i felt like i was going to pass out. I also felt like i was going to throw up. I advised the front desk they ran and got my doctor.she came and got my baby and carried him to the back for me and i laid down for a few min. I feel fine now but I have always been great with shots so I figured might as well have it insurance pays for it. I thought it was very strange, she said thats a common reaction???? I asked if there were side effects before the shot and she sad no.

Amber here again...

Today is week 5 since Mirena was removed. Last week I had my first period, super duper heavy but only for a couple of days and then it was normal. In entirety the period lasted 5 days which is exactly what I used to be like, so that's a good sign. 1 day after my period ended: All I can think about is how cute and adorable my husband is and I just want to ravage his body. This coming finally after 18 months of being annoyed with him and repulsed by his touch. It is the most bizarre thing I've ever seen.

Last night I was watching Rock of Love and he was making out with this chick and I'm like drooling. Normally I am sicked out by anyone making out on TV, I cringe and think "come on do you have to show that crap on national TV, bleccck".
When I get into bed all I want to do is carress and touch my husband - he is loving it! He says "this is how you used to be!"

By the way, when my period was so heavy I got dizzy and called my doctor, concerned. I also asked about weaning off the Prozac. She told me to stay on it for awhile because "your hormones will be going crazy".

OH REALLY?!! I thought there was NO POSSIBLE WAY that the Mirena causes any hormonal or other side effects?!! So why would getting it removed have any effect whatsoever on my hormones to where it specifically warrants staying on a freakin' anti-depressant medication?

LIARS.

I'm glad all these doctors think they know 100% what a drug does to every person under the sun, especially since none of THEM have ever had the evil thing in their f-ing uterus. How do they sleep at night? Knowing that they purposefully lie to people every day just so they can get bonuses for pushing this drug. B*stards. Her stating that validated everything in my mind and I immediately went to the FDA website and reported this drug as being harmful.

Amber (a/k/a JerseyMomma) works for us. She has told me about the problems you and your families have had with this drug. We will continue to do our investigation and will be happy to answer any questions you may have. Take Care. John Mininno, esq. www.minfirm.com

Amber here again - It's been nearly 2 weeks since I've had my Mirena removed. I have stopped sweating as of about 3 days ago. I can even go on an extremely rigorous mt. bike ride, get home and still smell like deodorant. This is unheard of (since Sept 2006). My stomach feels like a deflated balloon. I still weigh more than normal but it's coming off without hardly any effort. Slowly, but surely. I've even been eating Easter candy. Its unreal. Just now I was feeling my back, just in passing kind of massaging my neck and I noticed how unbelievably smooth my back is. No bumps or blackheads, just silky smooth... unreal.
I am so freaking pissed at the medical community I could SPIT. I am documenting all of my symptoms to report to the government website for drug side effects. I can't BELIEVE my doctor (both of them) told me I was nuts for thinking this was all due to Mirena. OH MY GOD I guess it's all just a COINCIDENCE. Give me a break.
I don't trust MD's any farther than I can throw them anymore. I know they have a huge education but they sure are f-ing retarded.

I am still on my anti depressants due to weaning problems so I can't report on the f-cked up mood swings yet... but soon.. I will be back!

amber here again... It's only been one day since removal and my stomach feels like a balloon that's been popped. It's unbelievable. The doctor I saw is totally full of CRAP!

I lost my job, my family, my dog, I'm dying, THANKS YASMIN...good lord some people on here are blaming every *** problem on the pill, come on now...going from a size 2 to a size 12, UMMM HELLO...how long would you let yourself gain that much weight, before STOPPING the pill??? Good lord..I understand that the pill isn't right for everyone, but it amazes me how long people continue to take something that isn't doing them any good.

It's been over 5 years since I was on hormonal birth control, and I'm excited about the ring... The first month I was very ANGRY - not like me at all; also sleepy all the time and taking naps (also out of character).

Now in month 2, I'm bloated all the time, gaining weight, and have acne BUT I'm not as angry as last month (thank God!). I'm still tired, but maybe I just need to get more sleep!

I'm going to give it one more month and see if things even out. I will NOT be hapy with weight gain. I've had no discharge, no slippage, but have had pain during sex. I've also experienced several days where I wondered if I was getting an infection - both months now, I was swollen / inflammed and slightly itchy for about 3 days. I only get yeast infections when I take antibiotics, so this is not like me either. We'll see.

hello, was on lisinopril for about the first 3 weeks of 2007 and had bad stomach problems and could not uriniate, felt like my bladder was full. i thought i had prostrate problems, went back to doc, said it was probably a urinary infection. gave me cipro and said it would clear up in a couple of days, got worse. found this site on jan 20 and quit taking lisinopril that day. after 3-4 days i could uriniate again. doc then gave me atenolol and took it for about 10 days, have had a wierd kind of sore throat and sore around adams apple, feels like something hung in my throat and my appitite is nothing like it used to be, not hungry, and not sleeping worth a darn. anybody know how long these side effects last. driving me and my wife crazy. also hoarseness in throat and voice. i sure am glad to find this site. tommy p.s, am sure symptoms were before taking atenolol.

I was on Lisinopril for 1 1/2 years (20 mg), and I seemed to have retention of water with other urinary problems, such as darker color, etc. My doctor said that this is not the case, but a friend who is a good doctor in Mexico said that urinary problems were a complication. This was without my saying anything along that line.

I cannot say that all my problems came from Lisinopril, but I was getting sick at every turn: I had coldness in my legs and feet; my heart just gave me fits as it palpitated or whatever out of order; other symptoms!

My doctor did concede and take me off the L because of the congestion/cough problem I had developed. It was not extreme, but I had never had that before.

I now take enelypryl morning and night. I was on that before the L and did not have side effects. I feel so different now after just 10 days or so.

In 1980, my neice was given Anectine anesthesia during a D & C procedure. Her side effects were: blood pressure dropped dramatically, could not breathe on her own, no feeling in extremities. Weakness continued for several days after returning home. It was discovered her father's mother had the same symtoms. After testing other sibs, they found all girls in that family was allergic to Anectine but NOT the boys. This was declared to be hereditary and the girls had a less than normal amount of pseudocholinesterase which did not allow the Anectine to be broken down in the body.

I started Prednisone due to a rash about 10 days ago. I've got a couple days left. It worked great on my rash, but now that I am titrating down from 60mg. I am having sideffects. Anxious, feel like vibrate inside I also get up to urinate 3 to 4 times a night. I've never done that?

Have the sun burn look since day one. But last night I woke with horrable pain in my knee joints. It was terrible. It is gone now. I noticed yesterday my knee joints felt tight or swollen??? Then woke with pain.

I will be glad when this is over. None of the pharmacy information says any of the side effects that everyone one seems to have.
