Better chance symptoms and conditions

I thought that all the problems I've had the last 3 months that I've been on Yaz were unrelated....I thought between stress, IBS, my job as a teacher, and being a single mother, that all my problems are just stress. I've been on the pill for three months. I am taking the pill to help with adult acne and mood swings. I really think that it has helped both of those things. However, the last month I have noticed some symptoms and I think that maybe I can tie them all to yaz???? Here's the list:
Headaches
Weight gain
Muscle cramps
Extreme GI problems (worse than my normal IBS)
Blanking out (short time frames where I do weird things and I don't remember them). Is this a symptom? I haven't read about this one. I'm scared to death I have some mental disease or something! Anyone else have this problem? I am so scared that I've lost my mind and have gone crazy.
Night mares
Anxiety
Panic attacks (I think)
Abnormal heart beat

I am only 42 years old and have been on zocor for the past 30 months. I've had mild tingling in my feet and achy joints along with slightly elevated liver enzymes and fatigue since then. Ever since my doctor increased the zocor to 80 mg per day ( because although my cholesterol level is normal, my triglycerides are still very high) , I feel like I am 100 years old! All my joints ache so bad and my feet and hands alternately tingle or feel very cold! I am also having trouble focusing when I look from something close up to something far away! I am also clumsier and more forgetful. Could these symptoms be caused by coenzyme-Q deficiency?

My 17 year old son was diagnosed with MRSA after getting an injury on his knee from playing basketball.After the first does he had a loss of appetite, fatigue, nauseous and severe headache. By the third day he got a fever, chills, neck stiffness and a feeling of doom. We went to the ER because his blood had not been cultured and we were afraid of sepsis in the blood. The ER doctor said it was most likely viral and sent him home. The next night he had a fever of 103, sore throat, trouble swallowing, sun burnt look, swollen eyes and cracked swollen lips.The next day we went to the urgent care and they tested him for mono, strep and the flu...(all negative). He felt awful and was so tired and feverish. The next morning he woke up with a severe rash and itching all over his body and his skin looked like it was scalded. His blood culture came back negative for bacteria and his wound has healed. I have taken him off of this drug Bactrim. This is his first day. His rash is better and his fever was down for a little while. It is 101 tonight and he just feel so tired and achy. I know it will take time for this to get out of his system. Meanwhile he is missing school and is getting depressed because he feels like he will never get better. If someone told me that fever and chills were a side effect from this drug I would not have been so worried that he could die of a blood infection. Ask lots of questions or google this site before taking a new drug.

I am a female and was diagnosed with Hashimoto's three years ago (looking at old childhood photos I've probably had this all my life) and have taken Levoxyl and Synthroid in escalating doses over time. Initially 25mcg for about a year and that was the endo plan until bloodwork indicated a need for more. I quit taking it after a year as it seemed I was gaining weight. After a few months went to a different endo and he started the treatment again with 25 (I weighed 160 at the time) and now has worked it to 100mcg (I now weigh 178!!!). I thought that with the higher dose I would have more of a weight loss effect (definitely not weight gain) and thought I'd have more energy, better brain function and happier outlook. I am experiencing the complete opposite. The last time I visited the endo and he looked at my weight gain he just said to "stop it". I work out almost every day for 45 minutes to 2 hours, have a job that at times requires arduous work, I eat a very healthy diet full of fiber, low in fat, low in carbs. I'm always hungry and feel like eating to make up for a lack of energy. I come home from work exhausted. This isn't living. I've had it with the Synthroid and any form of T-4 alone. I'm going to see a natural healthcare professional to try Armour because none of the medical doctors I've seen will prescribe it or synthetic T-3.

I posted a question to anyone who used Tri-Sprintec before, but now it's been several months & I'd like to let everyone else know how it's worked for me! Tri-Sprintec has been the best birth control I've ever taken. I have been on other birth controls over the years, and up to this point Yasmin was good but I still had some side effects. I've just started my fourth month on Tri-Sprintec, and I feel more like myself again. I don't have any crazy mood swings, my skin has cleared up, my periods are regular again & my appetite has gone back to normal. I recommend Tri-Sprintec to anyone who is looking for an affordable & reliable birth control (it's offered at the Wal-Mart pharmacy for $9 a month if you don't have insurance.)

I am a 53 year old RN, who is pretty much up to date on medications. I have been given Levaquin IV for Crohn's flare ups, but since my surgery 4 years ago, I have been fine. I have taken it orally once before, no problems. Last week after being on Macrobid for a few days and it not working, my pcp Rx this. I almost immediately started having a gerneralized adverse reaction, shortness of breath, elevated pulse and dizziness, felt as if I would faint. It passed, and as I wasn't expecting a reaction, I was certain I was not imagining it. I went to this site and was pretty concerned, but continued taking it as I know the power of suggestion and usually dismiss "drug paranoia". Big mistake! I now have pain all over my body. All the major muscle groups are hurting. Bruising all over my legs, and insomnia. Since I already take an RX for sleep, I'm sure it is the Levaquin. I pray I do not get worse, as this is bad enough. I'm sure my PCP will tell me I'm nuts, Docs are the absolute worse. I should probably go see the nurse practitioner, might have a better chance with a nurse. Just adding my 2 cents, and if I keep one other person from taking it this is worth the time, though I work on line all the time, with no problems, my wrists are hurting as well! In the past I had a reaction to Cipro, but nothing ever this bad. The new bugs out there are all becoming immune to regular antibiotics, and if you have a UTI like I have you can get pretty desperate. DON"T EVER take this for a simple sinus infection! I would rather have headaches all day. Sinus infections eventually clear up.

I'm a 36 y/o female battling the side effects from Kenalog. I developed Cushing Syndrom (moon face, hump on back, easily brusing). I had my 1st shot in Dec 05 and 2nd Jan 06. I bleed heavily for three months straght. I still have the moon face and this horrible hump on my back. I ended up having to get a hysorectomy. I plan on getting a lawyer, but the Doctors I spoke with never heard of these effects with a shot. The more support I have the better chance I have. I'm constantly depressed looking this fat. Plus I gain 20 lbs in 1 month. This drug sux and I would never recomend it to anyone.

I've been taking Ovcon 35 for 2.5 months now. I was put on the pill due to a cyst that had burst, and in hopes to regulate my cycle for a better chance to get pregnant. I have gained weight, have really tender breasts, bad rash on my legs, headaches, nausea and I am tired all the time. I do now get my period every month always on the week of the green pills, but now its heavier and lasts longer than it used to and the cramps are sometimes very painfull. The only things that are really bothering me about this pill is the rash on my legs and the being tired all the time. No matter how long I sleep I always feel like I havent slept in days. My sex drive has increased a whole lot, but I cant complain about that. I havent really noticed an increase in breast size but I do notice that when they are really tender they feel different, and sometimes the tenderness feels like aching muscles. Like I was weight lifting all day.
