I have been using the ring since Jan 2007 with no problems, the worst part has been putting it in and taking it out. But since May 2007 I have been having problems with my hair breaking and thinning, my hair dresser thinks it is stress or hormones. Last month I cut my hair very short and I am still experiencing breakage. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced problems with their hair.

Hello everyone. Thank you for sharing your stories. I no longer feel so confused as to what I am experiencing while on Prednisone. I was prescribed this medication for my back (I have a ruptured disc). I am 24 years old. I took a short five day treatment of prednisone about three weeks ago. I was very foggy and forgetful. I was tired and bloated. The worst side effect I have noticed is ACNE! Oh my gosh, I haven't ever experienced a breakout like this before. This breakout is a continuous side effect long after I stopped taking the drug. I went to the doctor again yesterday for a check up on the status of my back injury. He has prescribed a THIRTY day treatment and even more aggressive approach with prednisone!!!! I am so scared to start this treatment because of what I have already experienced. HELP! Does anyone know if the acne will clear up? Will it scar? Does anyone have any tips on this?
Thanks.

Hi,
Last week I was cleaning, and I sprayed my sink area with bleach, I accidentally leaned into the bleach soaking my pants causing an awful rash from an allergic reaction. I had Prednisone already prescribed from an earlier date for my athsma, so I followed the directions on the bottle and took 4 pills which was 40 mg last night at 3am. I slept through the night, but when I got up and started moving around, I felt very hot in my face, flushed, confused and irritable. I took it upon myself to take 40 mg and now I don't have any more to take for today to ween myself slowly. Is this dangerous? should I call my Dr. tonight or will it be ok until monday? Please help...thanks

After my third dose of the medication I've noticed a change in my sense of smell. Bread and other yeast containing foods seem to smell very strongly like bleach or some other cleaning substance. Has anyone heard of this?

I'm happy to annouce I'm off Yasmin as of today. Did anyone else have melasma? I have both large, faint patches on my forehead, as well as dark, smaller spots on my lower cheeks. Will they go away on their own or will I need to use some type of exfoliant/bleach?
Lisa, Virginia, thanks for your words of encourgement & advice!

I started taking prozac 1 year ago and every thing seemed to be ok then it didn't really do anything after that,so the DR. up the dose from 10 to 20 and then I started noticing that my hair was coming out in patches I really looked like a dog that had the mange, I am really serious, this is no joke people stayed away from me cause they thought that I had a bad disease and they did not want to catch it and I could not figure out what was making me loose my hair nor could the DR.so I visited some web sites to see some of the side effects from prozac and there it was hair loss so I stopped taking it and now my hair is finally growing back but it is snow white and I have brown hair, looks like some one put bleach on my head only in spots hope every one has better luck with their prozac than I did now I am in anger managment classes it doesn't cure all my problems but I just started shaving my head and trying to get a new attitude they tried to make me feel better by telling me that bald men are sexy I don't know about all that but I just want my hair back and guess what IIIIII HAVEEEEEE HAIRRRRRRR NOWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thanks bountyhunter

After taking 80 mg for about a year I noticed (after loosing
15 lbs) the following:
1) constant constapation
2) tingling in my hands.
3) weakness in fingers.
4) extreme taste degradation.
5) smell sensitivity.
After stopping zocor for 5 weeks symptoms 1,2,3
seems to have improved, taste is only marginaly
improved. I still can't take the smell of bleach
or gasoline, and coke tastes like acid.
I'm sure it is the xocor
PredniSONE (3) Biaxin (1) Prozac (1) Zithromax Z-Pak (1) Yasmin (1) Zocor (1) NuvaRing (1) Polydine (1) Mirena (1)

I had my Mirena put in on the 21st January 08. I am constantly feeling nauseous! So I don't eat as much, maybe 2 meals a day and I am usually sick if I have any form or food and drink after 8pm. Despite this I have not necessarily gained weight (1lbs) but I have gained so much fat. I have never been this big. I don't fit my fat jeans I wore 3 years ago. I cant wear the jeans I wore 2 years ago. And all the pairs I lived in from last January (07) or even august do not fit. At all. Constantly bloated. I have itchy legs. Keep getting upset. (I rarely cry). Got a few spots, nothing terrible, but I never get spots. And I cannot sleep. My doctor has prescribed sleep meds for 6 days but thats it. I keep getting cramps, dull cramps... I had one hideous one once put in, then it was normal dull cramps. My body hair has got on darker... Problem is I forget pills, and depo hasn't works (also bad reaction to hormones (no implant, don't want it) I have got pains in my legs, but its not all the IUD
