I've taken Ambien only once or twice with no side effects. My boyfriend however, takes it every night. He goes on ALL night eating binges, consuming almost everything in the kitchen. In the morning, the kitchen is littered with empty peanut butter jars, cracker boxes, cold cut wrappers, ice cream containers, jelly jars, left over take out boxes, etc. etc. This is what he consumers in just one night. This also happens night after night. I've asked him about it, and have had conversations with him while this is all going on. He seems lucid, but has absolutely no memory of his eating in the morning..But this new problem happened just the other night. We had what I thought was really terrific sex..You could have knocked me over when he said he did not have any memory of it what so ever This really scared me, and really got me thinking. He seems very sluggish during the day, without much energy. He has basically stopped going to the gym every morning, and I can see that he's putting much less effort into his very lucrative business. I've mentioned Ambien as a possible cause of these behaviors, but he doesn't seem totally convinced...What else could it be?

i am almost done with my second pack of Femcon Fe, i have 3 days left of active pills. I started my first pack the day of my period, then for a whole month i bled continuously. Only when i was done with the brown pills for the first pack did it stop. I started my second & for two weeks was period free, then for the 3rd week i started to bleed again. I know they say that your period won't regulate til the third pack, but come on i want a break here. Not only have i had a VERY long period i also cramp badly in my lower pelvic area after each meal & i mean every single time i eat even if it is only a cracker or something. I always feel sick to my stomach too. My breasts have been continuously terribly sore. My breasts have also increased in size dramatically, a whole cup size I was a 36 c now i am a 36 d. I don't have signifigant weight gain anywhere else either. I have headaches & my heart seems to flutter more often too. I talked to my doctor & she told me to just stick it out for a little while, she said that everything will become more regulated after the third pack. I am just wondering if anyone else had these kinds of symptoms with this pill 7 does everything eventually work itself out?

i am on the first week of my second pack, after switching from orthotricyclinLo (which i loved, but my gyn suggested i switch so that she could give me samples while i was abroad). a few days before my first "period" (if you can really call it that...it was ridiculously light as far as periods go)at the end of my first pack i started getting bad stomach cramps. i attributed it to my body getting adjusted to foreign food, but the cramps, while less painful, are still rather persistent and range from my stomach to lower-left side. i have also been experiencing weird hunger, in which i have the desire to eat but everything seems unappetizing or makes me nauseous.
i started freaking out, thinking i had some strange std symptom, but i have no other symptoms and have been in a monogamous relationship for the past 9 months. and while i have yet to take a pregnancy test, i have been on birth control for the past 4 years (so my uterus is something of a barren wasteland) and i use condoms with my boyfriend. i was freaking out a bit with these side cramps, wondering whether or not i should make a doctor's appointment. when taking orthotricyclinLo i had little to no side effects, and i have never gotten menstrual cramps before, so i hadn't thought that this discomfort could be from my pills. i was thinking of making a doctor's appointment, but after reading this blog am reconsidering, and might just wait out another month or so.
has anyone else had a similar cramping/discomfort experience, and did it ever subside?
thanks!

Background on my self:
1- Never had an alcoholic drink in my life (religious reasons)
2- I suffer from Crohn's disease (bowel disease)
3- I smoke cigarettes (a pack a day)
I've been taking Levaquin for the past 21 days days (500 mg/day)
Side effects: minor pain in right rist joint, minor headache
My doctor prescribed the pain killer Oxicodone (5mg) to be taken when needed every four hours.
I take my Levaquin in the morning with a cracker or some white bread along with the oxicodone pill.
Conclusion: I'm almost side-effect free!!

Very dry mouth. If I eat a cracker, for example, I have to drink a glass of water with it. I have no extra saliva. And what about pain in the back of my jaw? This is a new symptom that I have developed since taking this drug. Could either of these symptoms be related to Levoxyl?

It seems that everyone is having similar symptoms. I have been on Doxy for about 14 days now and I'm feeling worse every day. I am on it because i had been bitten by a tick and contracted Lyme disease. I don't know much about the disease but it has me freaked out. I started taking the antibiotic 2 weeks after being bitten; losing my balance and almost falling to the ground. I also had a couple of dizzy spells after eating. I seemed to feel a little bit better the first week of taking it but started feeling the side effects. It started out with the occasional dizzy spell then came the exhaustion, anxiety, depression, lower back aches, soreness in the back of my eyes, stiff neck, headache in the back of my head, flu like shivers, racing heart, and complete body aches. I also found out the hard way not to go out into the sun while on Doxy. Felt like the tops of my hands were being pricked with a million needles and burning. I wish I could stop taking the drug and be done, but I am already scared about the outcome of the Lyme disease. I hope I can feel normal again soon.
