Now I know why I've felt so bad. I got a sinus infection that was so bad my teeth hurt. My ENT prescribed AVELOX and prednisone. After a week of feeling like crap (much worse than the symptoms that took me to the MD in the first place) I now know why I feel as bad as I do - I owe a big apology to prednisone, I've been throwing it under the bus all week.
I'll be calling my ENT shortly.

I've been on Yaz for about 2+ years now. I'm a healthy 23 year old. Recently I started breaking out in hives and itching all over constantly. After listing every possible allergy it could be, something brought my attention to the one everyday constant thing- Yaz. I went to read about allergic reactions to this medicine and noticed I have at least TEN side effects! Headaches daily as if on a schedule, intolerance to wearing contact lenses (of which I wore well before starting Yaz just fine), weight gain (I eat moderately but crave junk food even when i'm not hungry!), moodiness (yikes.. this one is really horrible.. I owe my friends and fiance a huge apology!) and irritability unlike anything I've ever known. I break at the smallest thing. I've been looking at changing methods for a few weeks now, but now I know it's making me go crazy, I'm stopping immediately! My fiance and I have discussed this and we both think it has to be done. I'm ready to get back to my old, sane self!!!!! Reading other users posts and the Yaz website has really confirmed my decision. I am sensitive to medicines and don't know why it's just now affecting my body. I'm ready to find something else, even it if means longer periods! Do your research before taking this drug!!

I guess I owe my boyfriend (possibly ex-boyfriend now) an apology. I'm in my first week of using the NUVARING and already I've engaged in some erratic behavior. I cry several times a day and feel the urge to throw screaming fits. I am 29 years old and in no way am I a tantrum-throwing type of woman. My 2nd day on NR I became extremely angry with my boyfriend for talking to a girl and I left him to find a ride home from the club. I have been someone completely different from myself these past few days and I couldn't figure out why. I've also been very drained and sluggish. I am so glad I found this page. So I'm not bipolar, NUVARING just makes me crazy.

As a pediatrician I write for singulair every day.
The medication is for allergies.
Allergies cause adenoidal swelling, which cause sleep disturbances which makes the child tired the next day with makes him over weight, less attentive, hyper and eventually act out.
This in turn makes the child experience parental, peers and teachers criticism/ abuse, with leads to the child feel inadequate, embarrassed, frustrated and eventually depressed and suicidal.
Yes, singulair does cause behavioral change but they appear within the first couple of peels, the rest is due to allergies, lack of medical care, i.e. sleep, singulair, and zyrtec deficiency.
Allergy shots cause 4 times the incidence of suicidally than singulair, and Ritalin 10 times more.
They say in hebrew "once a stone is thrown into a well, thousands of smart people won't find it".
Check it, it's true.

one year and seven months ago i was given a coarse of laviquin--750 mg--for seven days.after 5 days I was so sick i thought i would die and at times wanted to--I had severe depression, diarea, musle pain a weakness, ancles ,knees, back and shoulders hurt so bad that I had trouble getting out of bed. my heart was raceing at 120 beats per minute and blood pressure was very high. I also had a lot of pain in my butt muscles and could not sleep, then I got to where i could not breathe and had to go to the E R
now it has been over a year and a half and still have trouble walking because of pain in knees and ancles. shoulders are sore all the time and I can not sleep more then a couple of hours at a time. my butt hurts so bad that I can not sit in a recliner for over an hour with out extreame pain.. I changed doctors now tree times and none of them will consider that the laviguin was the cause. the last one did send me to a hospital for a rectal exam but they found no problem. now that I know what caused the problem, the depression is most replaced by anger. this drug should be recalled and the drug companys should be made to pay for our care. I am 67 years old and been in pain now all that time and think I will never be the same again. my advise would be---DON'T TAKE THIS POISON--AVOID AT ALL COSTS
YOUR FRIEND---ALP

THe side effects that we are ''whining''about are caused by Kenalog nothing else.Have you not noticed a pattern in the postings or read the drug warnings?Most of us have suffered permanent disfigurments or terrible irregular bleeding,along with migrains,cramps,mood swings,hair loss,insomnia,ect...I don't know about you but I care about my body and I don't welcome a golf ball sized hole in my hip nor do I welcome flooding,painful periods with blood clots as big as walnuts ,that last 2 to 3 weeks a month.Most of us were not warned about these side effects from the people trying to ''help us''.It appears that these side effecs are common and the doctors failed to give us the choice if we wanted to take the risks.Every woman should have the right to know tha her menstural cycle could be effected or that she may get a disfigurement.Tha alone would have been enough for me not to get aKenalog injection.I only had one injection,how many have you had?I am sure that eventually you will be posting an apology to all of us whiners.Have you had an x-ray yet?

jules,
no apology necessary at all. It was all my fault. What do u do for a living? This info. is wonderful! I will do research, but I am very interested in pursuing this further. I am 42 and female. I had a kidney/pancreas transplant four yrs ago. The pancreas failed 9 days after transplantation. It had a blood clot which exploded after they opened me back up and took it out. That was rough. I spent one month in the hospital. Three times in icu. But, I'm still here and doing better. I still feel so bad for my awful attitude I showed to u. That is not me at all. I'm so used to the Docs. telling me what to do when it comes to pills. I really like what u r saying about all this. If pred. was necessary at the time, then I'm ok with that. It's now that it has affected me so greatly. I've lost 32 lbs. so far. I want to lose around 25-30 more. I'm 5'8. Don't want to be skinny, just to feel better.
I printed out the info. u gave me. Thanku for being so forgiving! I've had Diabetes since I was 11. I saw a man on TV talking about a natural way to jump start the pancreas. He was talking about his book. He wrote it because he had made a promise to his dying mother to find a cure for this disease. He said it took him 20 or 30 yrs. to find all the natural ways. I'm ordering his book. I'm going to get all the info. first. He's a Doctor. I've got four transplant surgeons. I really respect everyone of them. But I know there has to be more for me to learn. I can't even take naps, I'm never sleepy. I'll be patient. Easier said than done, right? ha ha
take care jules THANKYOU SO VERY MUCH TRAILBLAZEN ...........................

I really appreciate the info. Jules777 I hope u got my apology from the other posts. The sadness has been the worst part after coming off of pred. The weight is coming off really well. What about insomnia? I'm really suffering with the insomnia. I will look into the B Vitamins. Very interesting on what the adrenal gland does. I wonder why they put me on pred. after a kidney transplant? Thanks again for the info. I will take it to heart.

Please refer to ifitiches Feb 26 & March 16
-- By ifititches | Reply | Private Message meAppears I was infected by Scabies, I can only guess where I picked it up.
A natural coincidence so it would appear, so I cannot blame Cephalexin
Monohydrate any more. My apology.
