Conflict symptoms and conditions

I am 28 and have almost been on Loestrin 24 for a month now. I haven't noticed many side effects. It has actually even helped my acne thus far into my journey. However, I've felt bloated for about two weeks straight. I was on Yaz for the past few years and liked it okay but switched due to a conflict with another medication with potassium in it. Long story short, I have gained 5-8lbs this month. I am working out at least an hour most days and eating well, so I am really bothered by this. It seems others have had this issue as well. When you switched back to another BC pill did the weight seem to come off? I am trying to decide if I stick it out for another month or two and see if my body adjusts to Loestrin or if I should call it quits and start on Yaz again.

I had Mirena inserted 8 months ago. I am 30 years old and have no children. My husband and I are still undecided about children but know we don't want any oops happening any time soon. I stopped having periods every month. I lost 10 lbs it could be because of working out and healthy eating. I no longer have mood swings like I did on Yaz or heavy cramping. However my chin breaks out and the pimples are never whiteheads, they feel almost like hard mosquito bumps. I love that when I need to take an antibiotic it doesn't conflict with the birth control from Mirena. After reading all the posts I will say I am a little frightened long term I could face some difficult side effects. Does anyone have any suggestions on the acne? My dermatologist prescribed a scrub but the break out s still appear on my chin.

I to was put on Lipitor 20mg. took it about 1 month and had such pain in my leg muscles I couldn't hardly walk . I went to my doctor he said go off it and I should start Zocor in . A month the pain was worse I couldn't even walk around the mall . I couldn't sleep at night the pain was terrible. Once again I told the doctor he said stop it and we will wait 6 weeks and start Crestor. In six weeks the pain should be gone. It didn't go away I could hardly walk at my job teaching at a Pre School. The pain unreal.I have type 2 diabetes under control for years. Still is.I was told I had arthritis. But now they tell me I have spinal stenosis. I'm on paxil for the depression they said I had and. I feel as bad now as I did 4 years ago when I was on statins. I can hardly walk, my life is pain in my muscles that never leaves and now my back. I was active and watched my weight and walked 3 miles a day. Since taking these meds. I can no longer work, go shopping or go anyplace I have to walk . I have gained a lot of weight . I have something wrong with my knee .I have tried to explain this to 3 doctors and no one listens to me. My health turned for the worse when I started taking Lipitor in 2005. I don't think I'll ever get my life back I am only 58 years old and can't work to support myself.I can't even hold my 1 month old grandson and walk or lift him from his bed. Reading all your messages . I know my health going down like this is from the statin drugs I took . When I sit , I can't walk when I stand Then .I gotta sit in 5 to 10 minutes.And the pain in my knee has progressed. No doctor wants to hear my story and believe me. Thank God I found this web site and read this for my self now I know I'm not crazy. How can I get myself better ? Will I live the rest of my life in pain, and not able to function.Every time I see a doctor they give me another pill to take. I want to just throw them all away .There must to be an answer to this.

I am a 34 year old male and this drug is Horrible!! When I first started taking it, I was very light headed all the time and actually almost passed out a few times. The worst part for me was the hemorrhoids. I have never had a problem with that in my life. When I started taking it, the hemorrhoids appeared a couple months later. The worst pain in my life. I thought well, maybe I am not getting enough fiber, etc. So I started eating more fruits and vegetables and even taking supplements. Nothing changed. So when I was on google looking up side effects about this med, I saw one other person had the same problem. I stopped taking Lisinopril about 3 weeks ago and the hemorrhoids are almost gone. I also blame this med for making me dehydrated. My urine was always a dark yellow which is a sign of dehydration. I have no problems with that anymore. Also, the coughing was very annoying while on the med.

I am 16 years old and I have been taking Singulair for about 2 years. And honestly I didn't start to notice any side effects. Of course that's like someone not knowing how tall they get which is common. Anyways, I've thought about it and I have changed. I'm more impulsive, I can't fall asleep until 12 and I go to bed around 10:30. I also am feeling depressed, very but oddly enough, it only takes effect at home. That's when I let down my guard. But the music I'm listening to has gotten more aggressive, you could say I'm more violent but I haven't gotten in any conflict with anyone. And above all. I am very depressed. When I come home I just fall apart, and only at home. In fact about 3 or 4 weeks ago I think I spent about 20 minutes thinking about my life with great intensity. And for that I time period I cried, I was just through with everything. I was tired of my life and making myself unhappy, even though at the same time I knew that this wasn't me. And only until Thursday my mom told me she found out that Singulair says on the side of the bottle or one of the side effects is "Thoughts of suicide". And I love Singulair, but I think that I should stop taking it. For my own safety as well as my family and friends.

I was put on Effexor because of anxiety and panic attacks, and all I have to say is that this medication increased more so than it alleviated any of those symptoms. I was not even feeling very anxious at the time of my taking the first (37.5 mg) dose.

I took the capsule around 2 in the afternoon and by 4pm I had a severe headache. This was followed by nausea and strange thoughts. When I returned home that evening (last night) around 7pm I called my roommate a profane word (way out of character) and made her cry. We resolved the conflict, and I went to bed without any discomfort.

But I awoke around 3 am feeling strange sensations coursing through my body, anxiety, strange thoughts (again), and a sense of "overheating." I wanted to get up but I felt like I could not will myself to act, I felt as though I was in an "out of body" state. My paranoia and anxiety reached an apex at which I decided that I must not be "okay," and called my mother.

My mother assured me that I am okay and just that I must be on "too much stimulant, call the doctor tomorrow." I truly felt like I was having an awful hallucinogenic nightmare. I wanted someone to tell me that I would be okay because at certain points I had a fear that maybe I was having an allergic reaction to the stuff and might die.

Had I not researched online boards beforehand I would have called "911" no questions asked at the first onset of my symptoms last night. One of the scariest things I have been through in awhile. Still don't feel quite right, but the feeling is not as intense.

Hello, my doctor has me on Toprol xl 50mg and just a week ago lowered it to 25mg. Since then i have had mild dizzy spells and just feeling of uneasyness. Please let me know if this is normal and if anyone out there has experienced this when they had Toprol xl lowered by DR.
Thanks

I have Cystic Fibrosis and am age 54 in a few months. I have cataracts and detaching vitreous, opthalmic conditions which are common to people 20 years older. The opthalmologist suggested that use of steroids over the years could have caused it. My use of steroids was very limited until age 40 when I started Flovent/Serevent inhalers. I believe the Advair, which became continuous use 4 years ago caused my eyes to degrade within one year of use. Please bring back Serevent and Flovent, and please discontinue powdered inhalers. That is in conflict with reactive airway disease in my opinion!!!

I have been on Bupropion SR for about a month now. I had severe depression stemming from past incidents that I was unable to get over on my own. I started at 150 mg once a day and the first 2 days I felt nothing. The third day I caught myself grinning and laughing! However, on the 5th day, my doctor upped it to 150 mg twice a day. After the fourth day of that I started feeling irritable and tired. After a week of it I started feeling dizzy, nausea, anxiety, shaky, and just generally weird. I went to a different doctor and told her the symptoms and she reduced me to 100 mg twice a day. The dizziness is gone but the irritability is still present although manageable if I just think before I speak. I also have lost about 5 pounds. I notice that some days I have no appetite and others I am ravenous. The worst side effect so far is the anxiety. I have never had it before and now when the least little event or conflict is present I start getting a churning feeling in my stomach and restlessness. As for insomnia, I do stay up too late but once I force myself into bed I pass right out. I get sleepy around 2:00pm which is when I take the second pill and sometimes can't stop myself from falling asleep at my computer at work. My dreams were more intense and lucid when I was on 300mg a day but they seem to have gone back to normal now.

OH MAN.. this drug..
This is the first bc pill i have ever been on and I have been taking it for a little over a year.
SIDE EFFECTS...
MOOD SWINGS LIKE MAD....
First it was crying, crying, crying...
I thought i was having a bad period in my life and that was part of it. NO
I went off and then seemed to be very normal again. I was not getting upset over nothing and was able to deal with conflict without thinking the world was going to end.
Then.. I got back on it (FOR SOME DUMB REASON)
Now I am not crying.. I am just depressed or feeling very irritated A LOT>...
I have not noticed a weight gain or nausea but my boyfriend has begged me to stop taking this because I am so hard to deal with.
ANY Suggestions for A GOOD BC PILL>
