Completly symptoms and conditions

Hi, I had Mirena inserted in Nov ,2007. At first , after the insertion, everything was great. Felt as though for once they had invented a new way of not getting prego! As time past completely stopped having my period for almost all of 2008. Concerned I went to my doctor and asked if this was normal. My doctor stated it was one of the side effects. Moved on to believe it was all so GREAT... Starting 2009 problems began appearing, such as, extreme back pain, cramps that would make me almost faint at work. My co-workers were always making sure i felt ok. Began to have acne in which i've never had in my life not only in my face, but also in my buttchecks. Went to dermatologist and got all sorts of prescription drugs for it.... asking myself if acne in my rear end was something common and again i never has this before, my hair was very thick and now i spend almost every other Saturday unclogging my tub due to my hair loss and im only 23 yrs old. Since the birth of my daughter , i have gained 45lbs . I got a gym member ship and began to workout 4 to 5 days a week, and began to change my eating habits since feb 2009. So far i've only lost 5lbs. And talk about depression and anxiety attacks. CRAZY, i fell so alone some days and extremely nervous almost every day. Went to two months ago to my doctor and ask to take it out, she asked me why i wanted to do such a thing? After explaining all my systems, she stated i have a early stage of menopause, i said, Menopause at age 23 ? No way.... I reschedule an appt with another doctor to have it removed.... Hopefully it all goes away! I fell bad recommending it to my friends just to find out one of them currently has cysts because of this.

im a twenty four year old student on paxil since i was fourteen.
coming off this medication is nearly impossible, i have tried at least ten times. The reason i have decided to come off it for good is because of memory loss. I can spend up to one hundred hours studying for a test and still only get about seventy percent.
Another reason i have decided to come off paxil is tooth decay. I now have a cavity in every single tooth and have lost three teeth due to paxil.
A common side effect of paxil is dry mouth. With out salivia in your mouth, it becomes difficult for your mouth to wash away bacteria, leaving you with tooth decay.
Im coming off slow, cutting up pieces of paxil to take each night, about two milligrams less per night. Ive been all the way up to sixty milligrams and im now down to twenty and hopefully will be free and clear within a few months. This is not a medication you can come off by cold turkey. you must cut it down very slowly

Back in October last year i was having really bad pain behind my eyes - they hurt on movement. I went to my doctors 8 times within two weeks - he kept giving me pain killers saying it was a tension headache. The last appointment i had with him id lost the vision in my right eye - they eventually referred me to the hospital. After loads of tests and questions they finally put me on Steroids and strong antibiotics via drip and i had MRI scans but by then i had lost my sight completed and was told i would never regain my sight as my nerves were severely damage. After a week or so on Prednisone my sight was getting slightly better in the left eye which was great i could think about seeing my son again. I have been taking Prednisone along with loads of other tables one for my bones and nerves and folic acid and very strong painkillers etc for months. I tried to reduce my dose as directed and my condition got worse the pain behind my eyes came back and they they said i had C.R.I.O.N so now im back on a high dose and im also taking azathioprine. I have experienced all the side affects of this drug - Round Face (moon face) server muscle cramp - i was unable to walk for 8 hours a few weeks ago i was in so much pain. Terrible bad back - shoulder blades hurts. Terrible spots. Really bad heaches. Eye pain. Water retention. Sleeping problems. Mood swings. Theres to many to list. This drug helped me regain my sight but i cant wait for the azathioprine to get into my system so i can start to reduce the steroid and start loosing some weight and get rid of all the other side affects.

On Sunday I went to the emergency hospital due to a infection from some minor dental sugary (Tooth pulled) on Friday. I had puffed up with infection on the whole side of my face. My dentist advised me to go to emergency so that they could give me some antibiotics that get in my system quicker.

I was given Levaquin in an IV I was never informed of any side effects. I was fine for a few hrs. then I started experiencing racing heart and anxiety and could not sleep or concentrate on anything. I felt weak in my legs. It is now Monday evening at 1:18 AM I am still experiencing occasional heart flutters and am still awake although I am finally starting to slow down.

I feel like I was on speed for the past 2 days. . I was also given a 10 500MG tabs of levaquin to take. I am not taking them I am glad I looked up this drug. I hope that there will be no other side effects and stopped before taking the pills

I am really upset that I was not informed of these possible side effects at the hospital and was not given the change to say no to it.

All the bad things that this drug does and an IV bag full and it did not get rid of my infection in my face completely still have swelling.

Guess I am going to my doctor and ask for my Keeflex 500 Mg that I never had a problem with.

I was diagnosed with Optic Neuritis in my left eye, at the time of diagnosis, I felt fine. Had an MRI to check for lesions on the brain, there were none. I was put on IV solu-medrol for 3 days, then 90 mg of prednisone for one week, with a rapid taper the second week. 6 days into the prednisone, I started have shortness of breath, etc. Went to the ER and my white count was 22,000. Had bronchitis and the beginnings of pneumonia. Because of the breathing problems, I only did 2 days of taper (doctor's advice). I have lost site completely in the left eye and now I have blurred vision in my right eye. Extreme fatigue, and a mental fog I just can't explain. A "twitch" in my left left hand and muscle weakness. I just don't feel "right". How long does it take for this drug to leave your system? Has anyone had a similar experience? My eye doctor was considering another round of prednisone for the optic neuritis, but I am not so sure I can survive it.

I'm 56 y/o with hx of MVP,SVT and was on Inderal for 23 yrs. until after taking RED BULL energy drink threw me to AFIB that sent me to ER and got admitted overnight ,that problem got resolved until about few months ago i started having on and off palpitations again and my doctor put me on 50mg METOPROLOL and take extra dose for frequent palpitations but i noticed that the more i take METOPROLOL the worst my symptoms gets with some dizziness, sleepless nights ,occasional chest pains,joint pains so i went to my doctor again ,had stress test, 24 hr. monitor, and everything was normal, i was then referred to a Cardiologist-Electrophysiologist who told me i was taking to much Metoprolol that i should cut it to 25mg , He planned to put me on 30 day holter monitor to see the activity of my heart but on the other hand being a nurse i tried to monitor myself, i still have the same symptoms but less since i cut down my dose but i decided to stop the Metoptolol completly and put myself back on Inderal for about a week now i'm telling you it was alike a night and day symptoms of increasing palpitations are less and i feel much better , hopefully i treated myself and goodbye Metoprolol.

Ok. I'm a 17 year old girl. I've been on BC for a year or so now for a hormonal imbalance. I was taken of Yasmin, because it was making me a lunatic, and put onto Fem Con. At first everything was alright except for some spotting. But its been a few months now and the spotting returned. That spurred me into doing some research. Now I see that some of my other problems, that I would have never suspected my pills for, line up with the rest of these posts. Things like, skin irritation and dryness (those red rashes on your face are hard to hide! And I've never had to use a lotion on my face before. I'm now applying it 2-3 times a day.), lower back pain (a couple years ago I hurt my back because my back pack was too heavy. I just assumed it was that coming back to haunt me. Then I noticed it started up conveniently after I started these pills. D<), an itchy/smelly vagina (I thought it was just an infection but it hasn't gone away for two weeks now), nausea (I don't know why I didn't think of the pills, really.) and that my rage has considerably been heightened. It only takes a comment on one of my favorite books to set me off now - and then I'm over it in a split second. I've had that with Yasmin before - but I didn't notice the connection then. I'm just glad I'm noticing it now before it gets to the severe depression/suicidal stage again. I've also noticed that I've been kinda paranoid lately, but I've always been afraid someone might pop out of a dark corner. I really don't want it to get worse. I just thank God that I haven't completely lost it again and I can stop before I start gaining weight and losing hair. Please, research any pill you might be thinking about taking so you know what side effects to look out for. I read one post where someone says they almost died. I don't think this pill is for me.

just started taking Adderall, though i am not prescribed. I went to my doctor and asked for it but she said no. I explained that I am often overwhelmed at work, I am a case manager and keeping on task with all of the work is hard. My doctor said when she was in med school, med students used to take it for that purpose.So anyway i bought 5 pills from a coworker. I seem to have super human energy, get all types of work done and stay focused all day. On the down side, in 5 days I have lost 3lbs., I want to lose weight, but not that fast. I have what I consider to be Adderall hangovers the next day, where I am extremely tired. I also have noticed severe headaches, every day that I have taken it, I crash by the end of the day at work and cant wait to get home, because I am so tired. My neck aches, and I had to change to a firmer chair at work, because all of a sudden my back is killing me, I also get insomnia and have to counteract the Aderall with Tylenol pm just to get to sleep. These side effects freak me out, and I don't know if I want to again ask my doctor for a script, but I get so much done at work, and I am heading back for grad school, I just don't know what to do? oh yeah, the pills that I bought were Adderall XR 30 mg.

I used Yasmin for 5 months and can't believe what an effect it had on my life. I was so moody and would snap at everyone, I lost my sex drive completely and my boyfriend seemed to think I didn't want to sleep with him anymore. I got really bad headaches and also really bad thrush which turned into a severe infection. I put weight on and just didn't seem to care about anything anymore. I went off Yasmin on December 1st..since then I've only had 2 days of periods, I wouldn't even call it a period I hardly noticed it was there. it was 2 separate days but I've not had a period in nearly 9 weeks!! I'm not pregnant, I've taken 2 test and I am not stressed, overweight, underweight, or sick. Does anyone know why??!! I really need some answers on this, if anyone can help me please e-mail me. It's driving me crazy!

I had the Mirena IUD inserted in September 2007... BIG MISTAKE! I paid $550.00 for the stupid IUD & another 225.00 for doctor fees!!
Okay here's my story.. I have three children, 26 yrs old, married, 120/122 pounds.. can stay in shape/get in shape easily, happy, VERY short 3-4 day periods.. BEFORE Mirena..
Now.. its been 7 weeks.. And even though I keep to the same diet, I have gained 8 pounds! I have been on a period & constantly spotting for 15 DAYS~ oh yeah.. AND bad, bad, bad, BLOATING!! Yesterday I had Severe Cramps- my doctor is out of town so the nurse actually called in muscle relaxers to help with the pain.. I was in TEARS yesterday. I NEVER EVER had menstrual cramps before.... to make things worse..I am so moody & I hate my quick temper. I have never had acne, but now I get a few spots.. not so bad, but I shouldn't have any. I feel like I don't have control over my body.

My appointment is for this Thursday.. I am getting this thing removed, so I can return to normal!

Before getting this awful thing ( which hurts when inserted & bad cramps afterward) I was using NuvaRing for two months.. I did not have any of these bad side effects with NuvaRing... I am going to try that again.

IN SHORT.. I PAID over $800.00 for severe cramping, 15 day long periods, constant spotting, brown discharge, EXTREME BLOATING, huge weight gain, and acne!! WHAT?!? I want a refund!!

All I can say is thank you ladies for posting all of this. I was on Nuva ring for almost 2 years. my boyfriend complained I was getting worse and worse in terms of my anger and mood swings. He called me a monster. Then days after my 20th birthday I experienced lots of itchiness and pain after sex so I thought it was a yeast infection. When I did not respond to over the counter meds I went to the hospital to get testing for STDS. When all the test came back negative I went back to my regular doctor two weeks later. Again, I was tested and a month later tested again. No one could figure out why I was having burning and itchiness with no other symptoms and all my STD test negative. Finally I gave up the ring and have been symptom free now for nearly 6 months. To this day the situation plagued me because the doctor swore I couldn't experience this from the Nuva ring. I spent a whole summer in pain because of this. Now I am birth control free but my boyfriend of three years and I would love to add to our family.

My husband is 24 and has been on Advair for about a month now since he started using it he has experienced horrible headaches,worse asthma symptoms then ever before,constant mucus buildup,severe stomach cramps,chest pains,cramps like a tightening sensation in his pinky,not able to sleep,tired all the time,bad mood swings,and worst of all he used to have 20/20 vision but within the last 2 weeks had to see an eye doctor for blurred vision now he has glasses.When he asked his doctor about side effects this drug may have he was told by the doctor none at all is that legal for your doctor to lie to you?THIS DRUG HAS BEEN A NIGHTMARE PLEASE PLEASE FOR YOUR SAKE AND YOUR LOVED ONES SAKE DO NOT TAKE THIS CRAP!!! If anyone knows if his eye sight will get better please post your experience and let us know.THIS MEDICATION IS DEATH IN A DISK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Are there any people who can report good things about this pill? I haven't started it yet, but now I am really nervous because there aren't very many positive side effects. I know everyone responds differently to BC but a little encouragement would be nice. I recently was on Ortho Tri Cyclen- Lo and didn't have a very good expierence I just hope this one will be better :)

I was on yasmin for 3 years. I had horrible anxiety and did not know why. I just delt wirh it. After I stopped yasmin in jan 2005 I wanted to have a baby well for 4 months i broke out in painful cycstic pimples. Finally I got pregnant in sept 05 It took forever. After my daughter was born everything was fine. Started loestrin 24 fe. Bad choice there. I was worse than I was on the yasmin. This has costs me alot of money to find out years later that the bc pill was causing me to have mood disorders. Now off of them I am completly fine. Just remember when you quit taking them it can take 30 to 60 days for that shit to get out of your system Good luck/

Hello, i just googled 'migraine with yasmin' and found this site, I have read through many of the posts, and feel that a lot of it is exaggerated scare mongering, however i have just started yasmin, i am on my 5th day and i am coming right off it. I have experienced, bad vision, extreme tiredness and migrain in the last 3 - 4 days.

Is yasmin really renound for having bad side affects? I am quite worried.

I am calling my doctor and having this thing removed ASAP. I've had it in for three months, and at first everything was fine. But lately, I almost feel as though I'm going crazy. Insomnia. Terrible mood swings and anger. Getting beyond mad and upset at simple things. My heart feels like its beating ridiculously fast - like I'm having heart palpitations or an anxiety attack. I feel like I'm in a pressure-cooker. I get unreasonably mad at my dear husband and children, which leaves me feeling so awful and terrible to be acting this way. My hair falls out in gobs, and I have a puffy tummy that is soooo not normal. I haven't had a good sex drive in years, but now the thought of sex makes me almost want to throw-up. I feel like I'm going crazy. Any problems in my life seem amplified, and I feel completly overwhelmed - and I really shouldn't feel this bad. Kids wear you out, and messes around the house are tiresome, but the commotion shouldn't make me feel this NUTS!

WOW. I am so happy this site is here. I have been on NR for a little over a year now and have been so moody and mean. I have completly lost my sex drive and gained 12 pounds over the past year. I am only 21..... My dr. told me that i need to switch birth control and try the IUD but i am not getting great reviews about that either. I have learned to start researching my medication before i just say yes, because this is my body and the doctors just arent getting it right.!

I was in the hospital when i was given levaquin along with a anti-fungal. I had a rare yeast infection in my blood along with a bad kidney infection. I had been hospitalized for about 3 days and they decided to give me a PIC line to give me medication as they were having a difficult time with the IV they were prepping me for this and my heart stopped i was clinically dead for 2 1/2 minutes they finally got my heart going again and the doctors told me they think i was having a rare reaction to the levaquin. Has anyone else experienced this? I am only 25 years old and have no heart problems. I am very weary of any medications and have lost confidence in doctors thank god i was in the hospital undergoing a procedure otherwise i would be dead my heart had completly stopped. Everyone should be weary of this medication

I have been on this drug for about 1 year now. I have been suffering from depression, anxiety, mood swings, stomach pains, NO sex drive, and SWELLING of my face and eyes. I thought it was just me and that something medically was wrong with me. Recently I went to the doctors because I couldn;t take this suffering anymore and I got all sorts of blood work done, x-rays, the whole nine yards. Everything came up to be completly normal. Then my doctor asked about my birth control.... the NUVARING. I discontinued the use of it today. I never thought a birth control pill could make me feel this way. This pill is terrible and i would not recommand it to anyone!!!!

Ive been on NR for 2wks and the only side effects that Ive had are the following. This weird odor, which I thought was from my period. But now I have no period and the smell is there. Hmm? I dont think I have an infection and I tried cleaning everyday with a mild soap down there and nothing. The other thing that I have noticed is the fact of depression. But not really depression more like Im to sensitive. I think everything is wrong and I want to cry all the time.

Thank you for your stories. I thought I was feeling symptoms of HIV till I read fellow Bactrim user side effects. I intailly felt like my whole neck was very stiff and maybe sore. I had full range of motion, but felt very unusal. My glands felt slighty swollen, but had no sore throat. My ears, cheeks, and jaw line would feel sore and sometimes go numb or tingle. My appetite was completly desimated and I would have spells of nausea. I took the generic brand of Bactrim and I since have gotten a new prescription. Thannks for all your posts and I will surely check all side effects of drugs from now on!

WOW....I cant believe all im hearing...beacuse alot of it is exaclty how I feel. I started taking the ring a few month ago and the fist side effect i noticed was the sex drive it droped completly, and I was the crazier one in our realtionship for sex....and now its the last thing on my mind. Its sad beacuse I just got married a few months ago...and I want to have sex with my husband and I keept on telling him its the ring ...and I just found this website and I told him all about it....other side effects are dipresson, sadness...and tiredness. Im taking the ring out tonight....Do any of you know any other BC that is natural??? pls respond.

My husband had a TIA in July of 2004 and had some short term memory loss and has polycythemia so in fall of 2004 doctor put him on 10 mil of lipitor , I immediately noticed a difference in him he couldn't remembeer things like he did before had skin problems hurt all over but dr. could not believe it was lipitor so in March of 2006 put him on 20 mil. of lipitor to lower his cholesterol more, he started getting hateful, mean and hard to live with. Nov. 15 we got a flu shot and 2 days later he lost it completly didn't know where he was what he was doing and didn't remember me. It came and went for a week and on 24th. put him in hospital. Doctors did all kinds of tests and could not find what was causing his problems so told me to put him in nursing home in the lock down ward, I couldn't do it so brought him home with ativan if I needed it so 2 times in 5 days I had to give it to him and was odd as his problems always came on at night after taking his lipitor. so on the 5th day looked on the computer and immediately knew what his problem was so stopped it right then. He is slowly getting better has good days and bad days. I am hoping it will improve some. The sad thing is the doctors wont agree with me that lipitor has caused all his problems. I wish there was a way to broadcast it so other people could see what can happen and if I could just prevent one person from having to go through wat we have been and still are , I think that would be wonderful
Thank you
