I am a 47 year old female recently diagnosed with high blood pressure. I started it 10 days ago and after 3 days I started had a tickle in my throat which made me have coughing, hacking and gagging to the point of vomiting. I can't sleep at night and during my work day which is constantly talking to people I have to excuse my self to have my "coughing fit". My head of course is pounding from coughing constantly. I saw the Dr. last week and she thinks I have a virus of some sort. After reading all of these side effects of everyone who has experienced similar symptoms I am 100% sure it is the Lisinopril. If I were truly sick the cough would have gotten better or worse at this point but it has stayed the same. I am so upset all the time about this that my blood pressure has probably increased! The cough has gotten so annoying that I stayed home from work today and I decided to stop the medication. I would almost rather die(drastic!) than deal with this horrible cough!

I am 27 and have 3 children. In March of 07 I had a laparoscopy to detect (and laser) endometriosis. At the time of the surgery, I had the Mirena implanted because 1, I needed birth control and 2, I was told it would stop the progress of the endo. This past 8 months has been anything but, fun. I've had cramping, spotting, bleeding, migraines, not to mention that my mood swings and emotional breakdowns have been so bad my husband can't deal with me and my Dr diagnosed me with bipolar 2 disorder and I really think it's all from the IUD. I've had depression before but, never, EVER this bad. I've called the Dr on several occasions and they always say something like, "one more month, everyone has such great luck, just try one more month". Tomorrow, I have an ultra sound to "check placement". I pray they just take this thing out once and for all.

I've been taking this pill for 7 MONTHS now. Previously the side effects seemed pretty negligible--I had a bit of spotting--and though the "blood" was disconcertingly "clumpy" (sorry for the graphics)--I've had spotting with every other pill I've used too. Recently, though, the spotting has turned into full periods! I have about a week and a half of nothing and then a constant mess. As of day before yesterday the cramps and bloating are also in full effect. I'm calling the doctor tomorrow because I got on the pill mainly to control the pain and now not only am I constantly bleeding...but it's these strange dark clumps! Once again, sorry to be so specific, but has anyone else experienced this? It's truly mortifying when I'm with my boyfriend...

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!!

Hi - I'm 31 and and have no children, this is my second Mirena - The first one I had didn't give me any problems - But this one suddenly after 3 years is giving me really sore breasts and making me feel constantly bloated. . . In truth its driving crazy. I am also sure it has cut my sex drive too - Where is the fun in that ? I'm really considering having it taken out .........

Been on Welb for about a month now and it seems as if a few side effects are getting stronger instead of diminishing. The headaches are seeming to get stronger and are there the whole of the day. Just like a tight band around the top of my head. Also my ears are constantly singing like a little electric zzzzsss. Also I have found that I react much snappier and very quickly ticked off byt the slightest things. Haven't really got rid of the depressive thoughts completely as yet and am thinking of calling the Dr on Monday as the headache is really tiring.

I started Topamax about 2 weeks ago; I still have the tingling in my hands, had headaches for the first few days, and I get so dizzy when I stand up that I usually have to sit back down... and I would love for the taste of metal to leave my mouth, I have already lost around 10lbs and didn't need to loose any weight in the first place, this makes me feel sick and frail. I'm already annoyed of people questioning my eating habits especially my parents, constantly telling me to eat; food just doesn't sound good. I am also very tired all the time. I just turned 20 and my doctor put me on this medication because I have been hospitalized for severe migraines even TIAs and he doesn't want me to be on birth control without being on something for migraines. I really don't like taking medicine every day, especially something that seems this serious to me, but I know that TIAs scare me more than a medicine. I increased my dosage last night and couldn't sleep at all. I'm really hoping that the dumb affect doesn't hit until after finals at least...

I was on Topamax for 10 months at 100 mg twice a day. At first I experienced severe dizziness and actually passed out twice, so my doctor decreased the dose and had me increase it slowly, every two weeks instead of every week. The entire time I was taking Topamax, I was dizzy when standing, no matter how slowly I stood up, although I stopped passing out. I also experienced cognitive side effects such as memory loss, inability to 'find the right word' (I know everyone experiences this sometimes, but I was constantly having trouble speaking). I was in my first year of graduate school and had switched to Topamax, because I had been taking Depakote for over a year with little improvement in my migraines, and when I started my doctoral work I started having migraines daily. The Topamax did wonders for my migraines, reducing them to twice a month, but I had a severe decline in my academic performance due to its side effects. I had excellent grades as an undergraduate, but I had to take a leave of absence from grad school and switch to another medication and am now hoping that when I return to school I will be able to succeed. I actually considered changing my career choice and staying on the Topamax because it worked so well for my migraines, so if you aren't in school I would recommend you try it if nothing else has worked for you.

I've had the Mirena in for about 7 months just after my second child.... I haven't stopped spotting/bleeding since.... Its horrible. I have had the most intense headaches, to a point where I feel I cannot function. The pain so bad... It has almost dropped me to the floor.
I am constantly struggling to focus. I cry all the time. Yet have a void of emotion. I am struggling to enjoy the simple pleasures I used to enjoy. My libido...... well what can I say...... I have none....!! at first it was just an effort for my partner to begin intercourse with me.... and I would soon enough begin to enjoy it.... But lately I'm finding it hard to enjoy it at all.
I feel disgusting most of the time.... I have had odor problems... and then there's the constant bleeding!!
I feel unattractive! I feel bloated.
And I am about to start seeing a bowen therapist to help me with my structure. The joints in my sternum keep cracking.... and until I read all of this site... I didn't even begin to think that it could possibly be related.....!!!
I have also had serious suicidal thoughts.
I WANT THIS THING OUT!!!

I began 15mg of Remeron per day about 1 month ago. At first, it was wonderful. I slept better than I had in years and my depression was reduced greatly. I felt hope for the first time in ages. However, about a week into it, I started to become aggitated VERY easily. I would get angry at anything. This has not subsided at all...in fact, it's worse. Now I wake in the middle of the night with my mind racing and either in a rage or STARVING. I eat a lot. It's nice to have my appetite back, but I crave sweets too much. I can accept that symptom if it wasn't for the rage and inability to stop my mind from switching between utter numbness to anger. I'm going to give it longer, in the hopes that it brings me back to where I was when I started taking it. If this keeps up though, I'll be in trouble.

I started Celexa 2 days agao, and on 2nd day..My head felt very strange numbing pain from top to back of neck..plus a numbing of cheeks and lips..also strange heaviness-numbing in arms and knees...so I stopped taking it right away...afraid of having convulsions and ending up in the hospital with a cerebral-accident as what happened to me last year...I will have to find something else which will work for me to calm my panic attacks......what a dilemma...because these panic attacks absolutely make me stop functioning.....
