Dangerous levels symptoms and conditions

Whenever I take a new medication with intolerable side effects, I immediately stop taking it. Because Vivitrol is given in the form of a shot, the side effects will last the entire month that the drug is in my system. The chronic diarrhea and nausea have made me feel so much worse than I ever did before. I am so weak and tired and sick to my stomach every day. I am losing weight and my potassium is probably dropping to dangerous levels from the side effects of this drug. Why, so often is the cure always worse than the disease?

Wow. I posted about a month ago describing a list of symptoms that I've been dealing with for the past eight months. I was seeing a gastroenurologist to test for gallstones, pancreatitis, ulcers, IBS, etc... My blood tests showed that my Lipase was 400 (normal level is 60) and my Amalayse was just as high!--Dangerous levels! These both test your liver and pancreatic function, so my doctor concluded that I had pancreatitis due to something that he could not find. This made my doctor very nervous, so we ran a load of tests and he was stumped...

I decided to do a little experiment on my own. After reading your posts, I realized that all my symptoms started about when I started Yasmin. So I went off of it. Within days I started feeling better--and I had another blood test a month later and my levels are all NORMAL!

Yasmin caused me to have pancreatitis...that's really bad. And scary. What's in this stuff?

my husband was taking atenolol and the doctor switch him over to lisinopril 5mg he felt bad his blood pressure shot up to 196 over 116, and had chest pain, shortness of breath and he ended up in the emergeny room his heart rate was 120 bpm. his doctor put him back on atenol and he is doing better.Has anyone had this same side affect?
