Dis symptoms and conditions

I am at the end of my first packet and due to start the end cycle two days later. And to be honest i am utterly confused. I have been having late periods for the past few months and also suffered from mood swings. I was prescribed this Loestrin 24 mainly for some hormonal dis balance which was presumably causing these problem with menstruation. And now i have had more mood swings than ever, cried without reason felt depressed more often than ever. I have also had spotting at least 3 times over the month but not my regular period till date though it's been well over a month. to make it worse , i have eye pain and headache over the past few days. Sex has been rare this month!! dry vagina and almost no interest in sex , and I am just 28.
wasn't I better off with the small hormonal problem?

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.

Dear Guest 40772-

Migraines are a direct possible side effect of taking birth control pills. Almost all of the accompanying inserts indicate migraine headahces as a possible result-mostly of the changes to hormones and blood flow. You should dis-continue Yasmin and any birth contol that is hormone changing and see an OBGYN as soon as possible. Don't try to convince yourself any longer that it is not due to yasmin-its outlines in possible and serious side effect risks.

There are different means for coming off and I think it all depends upon how strongly your body is respoding to the hormones and ingredients. you should expect if you discontinue mid-cycle that you will likely experience cramps and either break-through bleeding for an early period. Both, natural responses to changing what a hormone/bcp does which is to prohibit your natural period. You can just stop and if you are experiencing migraines, I would suggest doing so as promtly as possible and seeing your OBGYN right away.

Don't worry so much about side effects as much as you should be seeing immediately results and relief form dis-continuing the Yasmin and the migraines you are experiencing!

I have crazy muscle pain or sharp stress like pains in my arms and hip joint - I take 12.5mg toprol xl - i have notice some weight gain - I know our Doctors are not the same, but prescriptions are the same - I feel like the doctors are brain washed by the durg companies, getting some sort of kick back. I listen to my heart Dr. yet he doesn't listen to me Toprol xl does cause changes to peoples health.
After reading about 20 listing and viewing over 18 web sites just about toprol xl - we are not crazy thinking this MED has bad side effects.
I'm in great shape, I work in construction & work long days and move heavy items daily. My heart problems are less than most, yet this silly pill has caused more dis-comfort than I was in before, I started taking It. I will slowly take myself off toprol xl.
I'm going to try to find a natural way to find small dose beta blocker, does anyone else know of any natural beta blockers?
Stay well and enjoy life to fullest

Bad sinus infection which almost cauesd my eardrum to burst. I took my first pill(500mg) of Levaquin on a Monday afternoon and the 2nd on Tuesday morning. That Tuesday night I noticed my hands were ver hot as I rested them on my stomach...thought I had fever so didn't think much about it. I woke up in the middle of the night and my feet were feeling funny and my left shoulder was starting to hurt. Took my 3rd pill on Wednesday morning as I lie in bed. When I got up my feet felt as if they on on fire. I could hardly walk. Both hands and feet feel as though the nerve endings are exposed. About midday, my shoulder pain had grown to feel like it had been dis-jointed(left-shoulder only). I have absolutely NO movement of my left shoulder. My knees also feel like they could give way at any moment. I cannot walk barefoot on anything. imagine yourself in the summer, about 110 degrees, walking on rough concrete....that would be mild. Wednesday was the last pill. It is now Friday and all pain is still there. Waiting on call from Doctor. I would NOT advise anyone to take this stuff!

I had been taking OVCON35 for 6 months now. As with most horomonal birth control, I experiencED very bothersome side effects. I tried to continue taking them to give my body time to adjust, but.... I've called it quits because 6 months/ 6 packs of pills is ample time. I'd have intense migraines accompanied by nausea & dizziness. Had I visited this site earlier, I woulda have been given up on this product. It's not good that 9 out of 10 responses are negative. Pass the news along- I definitely will.

i have been on zoloft about 8 months, I tried weening myself off of them but then my head started again. I was put on them for stress and tension headaches. I hate the way I feel on them, fatigue, constantly dizzy, dis-oriented. I don't feel right. Sex- drive, down the drain. Latley, I've been having severe head pressure, waiting on appt w/ Neurologist again, went to orthodontist to see if it could possibly be my jaw. Do I sound crazy???????????please help me

I began taking paxil 30mg for anxiety attacks with xanax to help with the breakthroughs. Then it was upped to 40mg but that made me very aggitated, so it was reduced to 30mg again. I've been on Paxil since 1996. Recently, my dr. increased it to paxil cr...with this I havee moments of dizziness and dis-connected feeling even if I'm just sitting still. I worry about the side effects and wonder if I am doomed to stay on this forever. I have had to add valium and geodon for auditory voices,and now a stomach pill to help the stomach pain all these drugs cause. At first, I thought this drug was a life-saver, but now I'm not so sure,especially at 40 pounds heavier.

I have been taking lisinopril for almost three years. I have noticed that my hair which is very thick is starting to fall out after a shampoo and other wise. I thought it was because of coloring which does not happen every once in a blue moon. I also noticed that I have dry mouth, feel depressed, and confused at work while doing my job before I took a volunteer lay off. Confused and missing details...focusing was a real problem. Dizziness at times almost afraid to drive or go out due to this problem thinking that I was experiencing sutle anxiety feelings. Sex Drive also none...and do not feel like talking to people much anymore about many things.

This is very strange as I have always been very socialable.

I am 52 years of age and all these symptoms really are mind boggling to say the least.

I am glad to have come to this site. There should be an investigation into this medicine Lisinopril.

I am an active individual and so with all that going on I started to take a supplement of adaptagens.

My mother is taking the med too and has a terrible cough. I think I am going to insist that our doctors take us off the drugs.

I spoke to an acupunturist at the New England School of Acupuncture and they can treat HPD and other dis eases.

My doctor prescribed Levaquin 500mg at a duration of 7 days for liver infection problem. After taking this prescription drug I had intense psychological dreams with a strong desire of rage. Mentally I felt out of body and had a very difficult time sleeping. I have never in the past had this type of feeling of rage and intensity of dreams. I felt dis-connected from my self. I would never take this medication again and I would advise others to do as well.
