low in side efects,unlike dianabol, the definition you see in up to 2 1/2 weeks is amazing......does stimulate hunger a bit but doesnt make u look swollen in the face........doesnt cause any mental effects and builds your streath up at a decent rate........basicly used for size or a secondary steroid to be used wit deca,anadrol 50,d-bol , or any other bulking steroid

Hi! I am a 36 year old female and have been on this HORRIBLE HORRIBLE drug (prednisone) for 2 1/2 years now..... Hopkins doctors still arent sure exactly what i have. My immune system is attacking my liver so to speak. My body is basically looking at my liver like it doesnt belong and is attacking it with large multiple lesions that is eating it away... the good thing is that it hasnt interupted the functioning of it yet but is leaving horrible scar tissue. I have been in and out of the hospital 13 times, have had just about every test imangable, 12 liver biopsies and they STILL have NO clue! They are leaning towards Church Straus desease and Wegners but the weird thing is i have half symptoms of both. The first year they had me on 80 mgs of prednisone a day which had seemed to put me in remission for about 4 months and then they came back even worse so i was put back on the prednisone, 80 mgs a day AGAIN along with 100 cc's of Methotrexate, another not so nice drug... i had EVERY SINGLE BAD SIDE EFFECT OF BOTH DRUGS!! This second time around was ALOT WORSE for some reason!!! My body DID NOT LIKE IT!! Nausea, hair loss, moon face, gained 40 pounds (and i was in great shape, worked out, i am 5'4 and was 110 pds!), EVERYTHING was swollen, legs, ankles, arms, neck, face, had the camel hump, fingers and especially my belly!!! UGH!!! Have bone, muscle, and SEVERE joint pain! Kaliedescope vision, dry eyes and then had mucus discharge (kindof like pinkeye), headaches, intestinal problems.... VERY CONSTIPATED and then the opposite!!! I literally felt as if i had turned into a man in my behind!!! Sorry to be so gross but thats how bad it was!!! Jaw problems, teeth and gums as well, skin sensitivity and have little bumps all over my skin (kindof like tiny little moles), itchy, broke out with acne and pretty much NEVER had more than 1 pimple a month, had facial hair (VERY DISGUSTING!!!! HAD IT WAXED EVERY WEEK!!!!) and then on top of all of that the swelling of my liver not to mention the PAIN! I was recently in the hospital again with 12 new lesions, pneumonia, and 104 fever. My doctors said the Methotrexate was the cause and i was having a bad reaction to it so they now have me on 100mgs per day of Azathiroprine. I am now finally down to a maintenance dose of 5 mgs of prednisone cause my body was starting to reject that as well. I thank god that i am now down to that dose!!!! It as only been 2 wks and the withdrawl symptoms are horrible worse then they were but i know what is to come =) loosing all this fluid and all of the HORRIBLE side effects i listed above. I will have to be on the maintenance dose of 5mgs the rest of my life and can live with that cause when my body gets back to somewhat normal i wont even notice that im on this CRAP!! I will be on the high dose of Azathiroprine for a few years and then on a maintenance dose of that as well for the rest of my life to keep whatever this is that i have under control.... the scary thing is is that they arent even sure that all of these meds will even work...... im a guinea pig..... The only thing that i am on out of all 25 pills/meds that i take everyday that works is my pain meds. Oh and i also forgot to mention that i had to be put on some "HEAD CASE" medication (thats what i call it =) ) for depression. Its a low dose but it does seem to help... I am terrified of what the future holds but continue to be strong and have an amazing support team... my fiance and family =) I dont even want to think about how i would be without them. I go back on the 25th of this month for my MRI so please who ever reads this keep me in your prayers as for all of you are in mine. I feel for each and everyone of you that has to endure this horrible drug everyday and i hope that everything works out you. =)
Sue =)

I started taking sulfameth for a unknown spider bite first couple of days were fine, so I thought. I was very itchy (whole body) bad dreams mainly about giant spiders. Not hungry at all, and very tired my legs were in so much pain I basicly laid in bed for the whole five days I was prescribed the med I didn't associate any of these symtoms with the sulfameth until I researched it on the internet. I finished the med yesterday, but my hands and feet still itch like hell follow up appointment is tuesday hopefully doctor give me something for the itching.

I went on nuvaring in April 2005, I am a very active person, workout two hours a day and enjoyed my life very much. In September all engery levels dropped, all interest dropped I was angry all the time, cold and did not want to do anything but lie in the bed whcih is not easy with a one year and a five year old. Went to the doctor last week with all the symtons and he basicly said it was all in my mind and the nuvaring could not do this. The pharmacy companies should do more research before putting this on the market and doctors should not prescribe it without making sure

Okay ladies this kinda weird for me but i need answers!!! I am a 26 year old male, my now x-girlfriend and i were together for almost ten years in which she was always on the depo shot once every three months i beleive was the dosage. Things were never perfect between us but for the last year and a half we both felt things were going in a very good direction. This problem started when we talked about why she she had very little sex drive, so she talked to her doctor and they decided to put her on Ortho-Tri cyclene she was on that for i believe about 5 months inwhich she started to retain water pretty bad so like most women she had to do something about this problem, again goes to the doctor and he doc tells hr that Yasmin was the answer to the problem. Just for the record about 3 or 4 days before she started taking the Yasmin she told me just how incredibly happy she was with were our relationship has gone. Well sunday came and she started the new birth control as the week went on there were no side effects until Friday May 6th (her birthday) she spent the day shopping with her mother and we had dinner plans at 6pm, well we meet up and she tells me we need to talk!!! I sit down on the couch and she tells me we shouldnt be together and that she decided this sometime during the week of the 6th!!! At first I never thought it was the bc but i have since changed my tune. This girl has always made me her #1 priority and all of a sudden she turns into a cold hearted @%^#* doesnt even let me talk or anything, just keeps telling me that this is how it is and i should deal with!! I instantly lost control of my emotions and went in a state of manic depression (basicly just wanted to be dead) Well i made though all this and stopped communicating with her or should i say trying to communicate w her in about the middle of July. Basicly told myself that it was my fault and on and on, well all of a sudden the last week of October comes and she calls out of the blue!! Telling me how she cant get me off of her mind, i felt elated and told her that love is hard to cover up. Then i find out that she was almost done with her period, which means she was taking the reminders and her real feelings were once again comming out, well we have been hanging out and decided that the problem with our past is that we never had a good solid friendship, just basicly relied on one another!! So great we are going to make this work right?? One other thing is that she was very reluctant to start taking the bc after her last period because she didnt want those feeling to go away, i didnt want to be controlling and told her that it was decsision she has to make in order to be happy. Well she wanted to test the whole idea of the bc being a factor and started taking it again and now she tells me that she just doesnt feel the same way about me as she once did, i want to remind you that she has always been confident in us and it just seems like this damn pill is screwing with her head MAJORLY!!! What do i do ???????????? I feel like im being cheated out of the love of my life......
Sorry its so long alot to think about everyday, i just want her back to normal ---Chad----

I am a 14 and a half year old girl, 112 lbs., and I've been on Adderall Xr for about 2 years. It gives me dry mouth like Hell. Whenever I stand up, I get so dizzy I can't see. If I don't eat, it feels like my stomach is ingesting itself. It does help my ADD, I take it everyday. When I miss a dose, the day after is literally Hell. I like to hurt myself, basicly for fun and out of boredom. I took an herbal sleep aide for a long time since Adderall gave me severe insomnia (sleep just never came), but I've recently gone on strike since I don't want to have to take for the rest of my life. I usually do fine, except when I've had a certain amount or more of caffine, which was the same on the sleep med. I also have an eating disorder where I know I'm hungry, but I just don't want to eat. I've also become a lot more angry and irritable. I naturally keep things that bother me inside, and I'm extremly vindictive, so that sometimes stupid things just set me off for no reason. I take 25 mg everyday at about 7 in the morning.
Good luck to everyone out there. =^..^=

I have been taking ovcon 35 for about 5 months. The first 2 months were akward of course cause this is my first time ever being on birth control. Things were uncomfterable. Ive gotten my period on time every month and they are shorter. Only 3-5 days at most. The bleeding has slowed down and so has the cramps. But really the cramps havnt gone away. When im not on your period i get severe abdominal pain and my ovaires are constantly pounding. The first 3 months i still got nausa and discomfort. Now that im on my 5th pack ive noticed ive gained 8 pounds. 8 pounds of fat straight to my butt and boobs. My cup size went from a 32 B to a 34 C and my pant size changed from a 1-2 to a 3-4. I dont know if this is suposed to be the symptoms of this pill but i am sure within the next month or so im changing pills. It has made me change eating habbits and my body is very weak. I used to be toned and in shape and now i have lost intrest in everything. I am finding my self to be lazy and basicly a couch potato. I read that the other women have experienced wonderful results. I hope my personal experience hasnt brought any negitive thoughts about getting on the pill. It is great for someone who needs pregnancy protection and regularity of there menstrual cycle besides that i wouldnt reccommend this to anyone.

I posted on April %th about my bad dose of levaquin. This is a little follow up. Today is 15 days since my last pill and ( knock on wood) im feeling pretty good today). last 2 days iv have slight headach and leg pains but today im free and clear. My side effects ran in stages. days 1-5 was panic attach and shoulder, hip and leg pain. The they stooped and it was goin and Stomach pain, constipation, aches. then last set was insomnia and headaches on both side. Last 3 days iv taken benadryle capsules and drand a ton of water almost to the point of drowning myself. but i think it worked. also in th elast few days iv basicly said fuck it, whatever tried to ignore it and not think about it and i think its worked for me. So took me a full 2 weeks once i stoped taking it to clear out of me.
