Amd symptoms and conditions

My 4 1/2 yo daughter has SEVERE allergies since 6 weeks old. Our specialist prescribed Zyrtec and she has been taking it every night for 3 1/2 years. We haven't noticed any obvious side effects as others have. She is certainly not drowsy (in fact the opposite!)A couple of times we have run out and she has missed it for 1-2 nights, and she has started itching ALL night. We have assumed that she needed the Zyrtec and rushed out and bought more. As I am getting concerned about the long term effects, started researching and found this site. Maybe we should consider that this was withdrawal symptoms and not the allergies. Does anyone know how long the withdrawals last? Thanks to all the posts for all the relevant information.

I was give Levaquin when I had a Prostate Biopsy and had a reaction to it , Hives, muscle pain oral thrush ,I told the doctor about it so he gave me another anti biotic,CIPRO which made things worse, then I find out they are both from the same family of antibiotics, these doctors don't know what they are giving you and he said all that I should have gotten from them was a little stomach problem, Its two years now and I still have skin
problems, joint pain and pain in my neck amd the doctors say it can't be from the Levaquin, Well how come I was healthy until I took it

wow this amazing i m really tripped i had the mirena for rsince 7/08 after my second child. Insertion was painful but i got threw it i get no periods since the 2 month but i got on the site because i wanted to see the chances for getting pregnant right now i feel pregnant my stomach is super bloated amd i been nauseated for 2days i took a preg test its negative. I noticed my hair falling out bout 3months ago and figured it was the prenataals that head it health and i also have nooooooooo sex drive at all and the bad odor please makes u not one to do it at all all these side affects where not in the pamplet i am really considering taken it just because of the odor and nausea i want to thank u all who help me out by posting a comment

I am keeping everyone updated because I cannot find any updated posts through the site. I took out my ring on April 8th (I believe) which was 3 days ago and the majority of the burning side effects are gone. However, I am spotting brown now and I am probably going to have the period of my life. Sex felt better 2 days after removing it but i'm still dry and have burning afterwards,just not as intense.

I have been taking Topamax for just under a year for severe migraines, and at first everything seemed fine. I wasn't worried about the flat tasting carbonated drinks; I just cut those out. I did not experience weight loss but there again that's not why I was taking Topamax so I didn't mind. The Topamax did work to reduce the number of migraines I had each month although I still got maybe one a week. The fuzziness in the brain did bother me somewhat. I have always been good at adding up columns of numbers quickly and I could not do that anymore, and words often escaped me. These were worth it for the migraine trade off.

But about eight months ago I started noticing I was having these terrible anxiety attacks, mostly in the middle of the night. I would wake up and feel terrified about everything, something I had never experienced before. Even during the day I would often have this low grade anxiety all the time. Very unpleasant. I didn't even think to question that it was the Topamax causing this, Then about six months ago I began feeling extremely depressed even though I do take a low grade antidepressant to also help with the migraines. My Doctor switched the antidepressant but it did not help; the depression just kept getting worse. By last month the depression was so bad I was really a mess. Crying, feeling hopeless. Between the anxiety and the depression it was debilitating.

So I went online and really searched the idea that perhaps it was the Topamax causing these issues. Sure enough there it was; lots of people have problems with anxiety and depression while on this drug. Currently I have been weaning off the Topamax in the past week and unfortunately I'm having rebound migraines because I've had one every day for the past week, but I'm determined to get through this. The depression and anxiety were just too disturbing and debilitating.

For anyone who is considering Topamax for migraines I would say just educate yourself about these side effects and monitor yourself closely. It can be worth the try but it can have serious repercussion too. For anyone considering taking Topamax for weight loss I would say "don't be a fool". These meds were developed for serious neurological conditions like Epilepsy. To take them to merely lose weight is frivolous and irresponsible to your health.

I am 55 years old. I had open Heart surgery when I was 41. In the last five years, my triglycerides where high. I was on, Lipitor, Tricor, Mobic.
I droped thr Tricor, because I went on line and learned you are not supposed to take tricor and Lipitor together. Lately I have had tingling just below my neck. I am feeling flu like symptoms the last couple of days for no apparent reason. I am weak, all my joints amd muscles ache. My Cholesterol is about 146. Well after reading all this I am going off this stuff today. Are these some of the symptoms?
Also in the last 2 years I have gone from a 8 and half size shoe to a 9 and half...like my feet have swollen.

My Mirena Removal....
So i posted here a few weeks ago after I found this site. I had EVERY side effect listed and was so freaked out that i immediately made an appointment for removal.
For those of you reading and wondering what the removal is like..
Well, NOTHING like the insertion. I was so so nervous and it was over before we actually started. The DR was surprised that i was back in his office to have this removed. He then proceeded to do an ultrasound to be sure it was placed properly before removal. And yes, all was OK on the position of it. I explained to him my reasons and he looked at me like he had never heard this before. I honestly can not imagine with all the women he sees that NONE of them have complained. But...as I was getting dressed afterwards, I took a good look in his office. There was Mirena literature ALL over the place. In fact, that was the ONLY thing he was advertising. Not to mention...they made me pay up front with the insertion back in Nivember...billed my insurance and I still have yet to receive my reimbursement. Oh yeah, and that...they charge more than the actual Mirena costs, then they bill your insurance for the price they know they will pay and the DR then makes about $150 profit. Nice.
Ok, back to my side effects post Mirena. The removal was not painful at all. I did spot for about a week- nothing too heavy but it was clotty and def there.
A couple of days after the removal it felt like I was coming out of my skin something terrible. I figured this was my body adjusting to the lack of hormones. I also had some headaches.
It has now been 2 weeks and the spotting has disappeared. I also can see the bloating of my stomach is starting to go away. It looked like I was about 4 mos preggo while I was on it. I also have an increased sex drive. And sleep-- well let me tell you, I have not slept this good in a very long time. I am actually sleeping more than 6 hours now and the night sweats have also discontinued.
I can't believe EVERY time I come to this site and look up Mirena ALL the people that have posted their experience as being negative. Yet, the DR looks at me like I am crazy! I have been seeing him for years and I have never complained about something like this. I really am so happy that I have it out and wish I would have done my research on this prior to insertion (which was one of the most painful things ever!)
So..for those of you out there that are either contemplating having it inserted...I say NO WAY. And for those of you out there that are nervous about the removal or not sure..I SAY YES, DO IT! For our bodies to be reacting this way, it is clear to me that it should not be inside of us. Listen to your bodies...they really do speak to you and let you know when something is not right. Forget about the DR saying it is safe or he has not heard of any of these side effects...YOU be the judge.
Good luck! And I promise it gets better once you get that lil' demon out!

Have been on WB TR 300 for ten days. Have been on depression meds for several yrs. This is by far as bad/depressed as I have ever felt. My brain feels like mush, my memory is poor amd am extremely emotional. I also feel detached from everything. I hear it can take 30 days for results. This just isn't worth it for me. Scared to stay with it and worried about stopping. Wish I had never started.

ive had mirena for 2 months now and at first it was ok.. it went in fairly easy amd my ob had never nserted it anyone before so i thought it was starnge it was that simple. but after 3 weeks i started having reaal bigtime cramps and ive tried to feel for it but i dont feel nothing.. then the other day i had sex and it has always been painful scince it got inserted . and just yesterday after sex i bleeded alittle and up to knwo im still having cramps. could it be that its inserted wrong? or have a ectopic pregnancy or even cyst???

I have just read all of your comments on the Yasmin birth control pill and would like to state a few of mine. I have been on Yasmin for about 2 1/2 years, the first side affect that I experienced is my heart rate felt out of control at times during the first 3 months or so that I started taking it that went away thank god! I also lost about 5 pounds instintly, can't complain there. The only side affect that I am a little conserned about is my horrible mood swings and depression about 4 days before I start my period. I will take a small problem amd make it into a huge deal and I feel like crying my eyes out. Unfortunatly the one that I take this out on is my husband poor guy! Do any of you girls feel your mood swings and depression only during certain times of the month? I am honestly starting to wonder if I should change.

I started taking SULFAMETH / TRIMETHOPRIM 800/160 for my UTI. While being on it for only 2 days I started to get cold chills, severe head aches (sort of like migraines), fatigue and itching all over my body. I can't believe that this is the side effects to something that supposed to cure you!

After one week on Advair I have the constant clearing of my throat and came to this forum to see if Advair was the cause. I see others have the same amd I just quit.

I only took Effexor for 6 weeks - it worked so well as I lost a daughter and was in such a depression that I was suicidal - but once I was feeling better (and reading up on the withdrawl symptoms) I decided to switch to Wellbutrin and amd now off Effexor. For me short term it was great and did the trick - and I feel more myself with the Wellbutrin. I feel that Effexor depersonalized who I was, I let my 3.5 year old do whatever she wanted with a smile on my face, and i was unable to cry for the 22 year old daughter i lost. I wanted to feel again.

I have had ultracet since march, do to pain in my back and hip cause of a car accident. I never took them until recently, i started with one cause i didnt want to become addicted, amd i dint want to depend on them but they help me sleep and i think that when i run out i will be a little scared cause now my body depends on it :(

I've been taking Wellbutrin SR in increasing doses for the past three months for depression. At 100 mg twice daily, I had headaches and stomach aches for the first few days. I was bumped up to 150 mg twice daily and the headaches and cramps returned briefly. I'm now taking 200 mg twice daily. I've been having palpitations nightly since increasing to 400 mg dose -- especially when I lie down in bed. I'm also having twitching, occasional tremors, gas pains amd heart burn. These are not symptoms I experienced before I started taking the medication. On the flip side, this medication has worked remarkable well on my depression, My feelings of doom, hopelessness and general disinterest in life have faded with every increase in dosage.

Hi. It seems rather obvious that ambien causes dizziness, personality changse- anxiety, anxiousness, memory issues..a sort of brain fog and in many occasions depression. Let's be proactive- this med causes brain dysfunction that may be able to be corrected- the question is how? To start, the seratonin levels, cortisol and adrenalin levels need to return to normal..wean yourself off and never go on again. Who knows about herb. homeopathics that have shown promise on mood amd memory?
