Defintely symptoms and conditions

I have been on Yasmin for one week and it has been horrible. I have been nauseous everyday, but not actually throwing up, which is almost worse b/c you just don't get any relief. I have quite literally not felt like myself- emotional, moody, dis-interested, un-motivated. I am not at all prone to depression or mood swings so it's been a very pronounced change. I am defintely going to stop taking it as I have never had such unpleasant side effects from a pill before. Usually they have been more physical, but the side effects for me from this pill have been physical and psychological. Reassuring to know that I'm not the only one to have this kind of adverse reaction.

I know there are times when people need medication to help them with depression, anxiety, etc. but I really think there are better anti depressants out there. I found effexor HORRIBLE! it was a b**** to get used to, and i was so dizzy, tired, anxious and just felt horrible for a while.
After my body got used to it, it was alright, but trying to get OFF effexor was even worse! i have never experienced anythign like that. I felt SO depressed and anxious and DIZZY and this carried on for about two weeks. I felt trapped. I even took some work off while getting off it because I couldnt' function properly at all. Also, my sex drive went down to zero. I'd defintely reccommend trying out a different anti-depressant than this one.

Hi,

I am on my 16th day of using NR. I am also on the sixteenth day of my period. It is not the brown discharge described here, but defintely blood. I am holidays at the moment and so have difficulty in accessing a doctor. I am thinking I should remove it, but I'm not sure. Has anyone else noticed a similar symptom and if so, did it just go away?

I haven't had any other bad effects yet and to tell the truth it's been a very difficult few weeks for me, I've lost my job etc. So, I don't think it's having an emotional effect. Perhaps this stress lately could explain my proloinged period though? Any advice???

Thanks.

My four year old son has been on singulair for 6 weeks. He has started complaining about nightmares, wetting the bed and has become irritable and easily agitated. In addition, he seems to go into these wierd episodes of not being able to control his body...like someone high on drugs. Has anyone had a similar experience?

I will be calling his dr. in the am.

Wow! I have been on Yasmin for 2 weeks because my GYN told me I would like it better than Ortho-Tri-Cyclen. What a mistake! I have been so tired, falling asleep when I sit on the couch. I have also had no sex drive and have been really dry down below during sex (not to get too personal). Has anyone had that side effect? I am defintely getting off this pill it seems you all have had terrible experiences, I wish I read this before my GYN talked me into it.

It defintely doesn't seem to be a common response but I'm convinced that Econopred is causing me to have congestion and sinus issues. As soon as I started taking the drops, I felt irritation in the back of my throat and a post-nasal drip. It's similar to a sore throat or cold but with less overall discomfort, no glandular swelling, etc. Anyone else have this?

I stopped taking the pill last week. I still had a week left to take but I was so over it.I got a period right away but who cares I wasn't gonna stay on that crap. I am starting to feel MUCH better, at least 100% better already but I'm defintely not completely myself yet. Strangely enough my abs hurt like I did a bunch of sit-ups, but it's actually from all the worrying and things I did last week as usually as I go through through that anxiety all my muscles stay tight. I'm off to speak with a psychologist on Tuesday as well.. I want to be safe and keep everything in check.
How is everyone else doing? :)

I am a 32 year old male who has been on Lipitor for about four years. High cholesterol runs in the family, and recently went up to 40mg. I think this was a big mistake.

I have experienced some nasty side effects including chest pain, upset stomach, and horrible muscle cramps and tingling. My feet are always cold and have a tingling sensation in them. I did have some mild muscle cramping before upping the dose, but it defintely became worse. I have stopped taking any more lipitor for a week, but the symptoms remain. I also do get dizzy at times, and have trouble sleeping.

I have now stopped taking the drug for a week now, but the symptoms remain. I would appreciate if anyone could let me know if they have stopped, how long, if any, did the symptoms start to go away. I am worried that it has been a week, and I still have the foot tingling sensation and the muscle cramps in the legs. I hope this goes away.

For some good news, for people that have exprienced some chest pain or discomfort, I did find that taking a gas inhibitor did provide some relief. The chest pain is caused I believe by the stomach, like a heartburn. This did provide some relief, though I have not found anything that helped the muscle cramps and coldness.

I am off to the doctor and I hope to hear something that will make me better. My wife thinks I am crazy and thinks it will go away now that I have stopped. I hope she is right, because it is really starting to wear on me mentally.

I have never posted or complained about Lipitor before. I am not an angry patient, or someone who has a grudge to bare. I just want to feel normal again, and not feel so crazy and bad all the time. I am took young to feel this way.

Thank you for reading my story.
