Being tired all the time symptoms and conditions

I have been on YAZ for about four months. It has been a horrible experience with me. I use to be a happy person. Now I am the totally opposite where it is effecting my relationship with my family as well as my boyfriend. To the point it is driving them crazy. The slightest things will make me snap or I would take things the wrong way. It started the second month taking it and I thought if I keep taking it my body would get use to the hormones. I was VERY wrong. It has been worse. Also my periods are still not regular as well or if I do have any at all, they are light which is the only PLUS for YAZ. I am also experiencing MAJOR weight gain, I have gain 20 pounds more than I was before I was on it and my eating habits and exercising habits have no change. After this last month of depression, moody, and just being tired all the time I have decided to make another doctors appointment to get switch off a YAZ. YAZ may work for some women but not all, so be aware to what it does to you as well the people around you.

okay so Im taking this cap, because im trying to get rid of an infection. The side affects are killing me slowly. um, this is the fifth day and the headaches, dizziness, being tired all the time. my eyes are loosing vision. I think i will stop... from reading all the other things i have read about this stupid drug.

My 16 old daughter took the Gardasil shots. Since then she has complained about being tired all the time. Stomach pains , loss of consciousness. She states she feel like an old woman. Has missed several days of school because it. Please help me warn others go to the
******and let people know this is the Bogalusa, La. Newspaper. I had the article wrote.

I had my mirena inserted in Feb 08 after my daughter was born. It was very painful and took the doctor two tries because my body kept pushing the first one out. I had AF when it was inserted and never again since then. I thought it was great at first. I loved the idea of feeling more in control of when I would have more children.

At first the only side effect I noticed was an occasional sharp abdominal pain. However, as time progressed I began feeling worse and worse, and it has only been in the last month or so that I realized it was related to the iud. First of all, despite increased exercise and a far healthier diet, I managed to somehow gain about 30 pounds. I also had no energy, had aches and pains ALL over ALL the time, including bad headaches almost everyday. I lost my ability to concentrate, felt like I was constantly in a fog, was depressed, and totally lost my sex drive.

After about 9 months or so of having it in, I also began getting all the pregnancy symptoms... lots of bloating, sore breasts, cravings, I could smell everything, etc... and without a period, it's impossible to know when I have something to be concerned about, or if it's just a side effect. Luckily, I never got pregnant with it, because the thought of getting pregnant with the iud in is a scary one, and considering I'm typically VERY fertile, it says something for it that it worked so well.

I felt, however, like I completely lost control of my body. I finally went in to see my obgyn three days ago. She seemed very surprised that I wanted it out (even though the nurse said she hears those complaints all the time with Mirena), but I told her I felt like my body was all out of whack, so she removed it. It was extremely quick and I didn't even feel her remove it. I have already gotten my first AF in over a year and my body is beginning to feel normal again. Ladies, I'm sure this works better for some than others, but PLEASE do your research before you make the decision to try this, and if the fear of having it removed is keeping you from removing it, remember even if it does hurt you will feel much better later!!!

I, too, felt FINE in the beginning. I thought it was so wonderful not to have to worry about taking a pill or anything!
What an amazing invention!
My sister was so gung-ho about it, I didn't want to tell her that my Mirena was giving me trouble. Well, I wanted to add one more post because today she called and I asked her about her Mirena.
She said, "Oh, I had mine removed WEEKS AGO!"
She, too, was having the same trouble as MOST OF US!

Never sleeping through the night w/out getting up to pee.

Getting mad at her kids for no reason.

Being TIRED all the time. Waking up not feeling RESTED.

Blurred vision, assuming her contacts were just messed up.

She had stabbing pains in her side... turns out the Mirena was cock-eyed and GREW into her UTERINE WALL... when they tried to remove it, it was stuck there. Luckily, the nurse gave it a good YANK and it came out, but it was definitely painful. She feels the pain still because it is still healing.

These are only a few of the side effects. It hadn't even occurred to me that my legs, too, are COVERED in BRUISES and I could never figure out where they came from.

I, too, have had burning and tight eyeballs. I NEVER wear my contacts anymore, because I constantly feel like I've had no sleep. I had to buy a SLEEP AID so I could try to get some good sleep!

Without getting TOO personal, I also understand why the Mirena is so effective. It's because you're too TIRED to want to be close to your husband, and you just want to be left ALONE all the time. (Not to mention, he won't want to get near the mega-beast anyway!)

My sister (before having her Mirena removed) also thought something was wrong with her health. So her doctor recommended she get her blood tested. Well, of course, everything came back perfectly healthy! Go figure! Well, she says that most of these symptoms are GONE since the removal. I have to wait another MONTH before getting mine out, since my doctor is going on vacation. But I feel better already, just knowing that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I hope you will consider these things, because so many of us have had the same things happen to us! And life is too short to let ONE DAY be ruined unnecessarily!!

I have taken Lisinopril 20mg once daily for only 3 weeks and I am having some of the same side effects. Memory loss and forgetting things is the main one, the 'grit in the eyes' and general feeling of being tired all the time. I'm glad I found these posts. It did lower my BP from 160 over 108 to 144 over 94. I take it after lunch, since I didn't want to drive while it takes hold. Guess i'm lucky I don't have the other side effects.

Spoke with my Doctor today and he said those were unusual side effects. I guess not from what i'm seeing here. He told me to stop taking Lisinopril and gave me samples of Hyzaar 50/12.5. I really hate taking drugs, since I have atypical reactions to them, but i'll give it a try. I'll do the research first.

Hope this helps others.

23 years old im taking doxycycline for an std infection , im currently on day 4 , 2x 100mg daily ... and so far ive had no problems apart from being tired all the time and a few spots appearing on my chest.. 3 days to go , i will report back.

I have been taking Budeprion for about two months now. At first I don't know anything about the side effects. I thought the feeling of being tired all the time is just normal for someone who is suffering from depression. But day after day I started to have a feeling of weakness on my muscles especially my arms. And I also noticed that I get easily irritated and short tempered.
My doctor switched my medication from Celexa to Bude. This was because I told him that when I was having sex, I just keep on going but never having an ejaculation during the time I was taking Celexa. Now my ejaculation was back to where it was before, after switching to Budeprion. I can tolerate the feeling of having tired muscles but not the feeling of not having an ejaculation during intercourse.

oh yea...i forgot to mention dry eyes and a hacking cough that was severe but has since gone away, really bad pain in legs, elbows and joints and toes that feel broken to the point that i recently had to get on pain meds, over counter meds didn't do the job. the more i read about lisinopril the more i'm convinced to start a half dose tonight. i'm going to experiment by tapering myself off and if i live through it i'll let you all know if the side effects leave.

My 10 year old son has taken Singulair on and off since he was 5 years old and has been on it for the past 3.5 years. My son at an early age was affected by a bad marriage and then the divorce when he was 5 yrs old. So we always suspected that his behavior issues were caused by this and I had done everything I possibly could to give them the help he needed to get over and through his issues. He was held back his first year of Kindergarden and during his second year midstream he was placed in a special class for behavioral problem children. Nothing ever seemed to help him, everytime we would see some progress and encouragement we were always blind sighted by a behavior that was always worse. Two steps forward and them 5 steps backwards. I always knew that his problems would never get better overnight so I just kept on going. He was diagnosed with ADHD but because he has some ticking issues I had to put him on Strattera which was did not do a thing for him. I always described him as my Dr. Jeckyll/ Mr. Hyde child. He could be really good and sit still and behave but I think he had to try really hard to do so. He eventually was always overpower by the impulse to show negative behaviors. Defiant, extremely impulsive, always negative and completely miserable all the time. He also went through phases of compulsions. There was always a compulsion of the month- germs, bathroom habits, noises, repetitive words. He hated school and always complained of a stomach ache which i thought he was always faking to get out of school. He had confrontations in school everyday for most of the day. I often thought some of this was because of being tired all the time. We had battled over bedtime every single night. He was terrified to go to bed alone, I tried everything to get him to sleep alone. I wore myself out falling asleep next to him, I would then go to my own bed only to be up with him half the night going back and forth. I gave in many a night and slept with him just so we could get a good nights sleep. At age 8.5 I finally got him to go to sleep alone but the lights haf to be on and he has to know that I am still awake before he will fall asleep. He would always say he didn't want to go to sleep because when he does he has bad thoughts about me and people that he loves. He always had an extremely hard time excepting the word "no"- he would flip out and hit his head with whatever was handy, throw things, break things, scream holler etc. It would take hours to get over it. When he did he would be very remorseful and lovable. He was always in turmoil. Finally in February of this year, this graduated to a new level where he would want to just kill himself and would actually go and pull a knife out of the drawer and just shake with anger as he held the knife to his throat. I was terrified although i really didn't think he was going to harm himself he just wanted to scare me. Then at the end of March when i first heard the news about the possible side effects of Singulair, I had only heard about the suicide effect. Oh great just what I needed was this medicine causing him to do that. The doctor was thinking about taking him off if this summer because he wanted to see if he out grew his seasonal allergies so I took him off immediately. Well I had no idea about the other side effects until my son turned into a completely different kid. School noticed a huge difference in him! His grades went up, his is able to control his behavior, he is happy he is NORMAL. I never suspected this drug as the culprit due to the timing of taking it. Our lives have changed completely. When i first found this site, it seemed as though some of the parents were writing about my child. It is amazing. My son still has some old habits to break but overall he is a wonderful and normal 10 year old boy. He did not outgrow his seasonal allergies but Allegra seems to help in through it. I get so angry- his whole early childhood was ruined by this medicine. He is a labled kid in our school system. This whole experience has opened up my eyes. Thank you for letting me share my story.

I was prescribed Keflex 500mg to take twice a day for strep throat. Since I started this medication I also came down with a cough, nasal congestion and I am soooo tired! I cant stay awake! I also have had problems with bowel movements. I took magnesium sulfate to try and loosen things up. It took two days before I finally had a bowel movement... very painful and bleeding! I don't know if the Keflex has caused the Castro symptoms or the terrible feeling of being tired all the time but it has been miserable! I have had a mild headache also, but nothing I cant live with. Just wondering if I should stop the medication? I started this on Wednesday of last week. It is now Monday.
