My daughter was put on accutane for about 4 months and WOW.....what a difference!! She only experienced the dryness all over from head to toe, but aquaphor relieved that. Her skin was clear by the 2nd month! She took 2 - 20mg pills a day for the first month, then down to one 1 pill a day. Her skin glows and is sooo clear!! She doesn't even get one pimple anymore! Along with the accutane, she used retin-A to reduce the blemishes...now have lightened up quite a bit!! She felt that bare-minerals make up was the best for blemish coverage. She stopped taking the accutane for almost a month now and we are just crossing our fingers that she stays clear!!

I am back once again and taking Yasmin is not cutting it. I am suffering from high blood pressure which I had never had, severe migraine headaches, vomiting, a lot of nausea, stomach pains, mental depression, extreme fatigue, I am always thirsty no matter how many bottle of waters I go through Iam still thirsty. I have a very bad taste in my mouth and I find myself brushing my teeth and chewing gum numerous times during the day. At times I experience dizziness, the foods I love I now hate, and I told my doctor all these symptoms and the only thing she told me was this is normal. what kind of crap is this and why is this product still on the market.

I went on NuvaRing because it was suggested by my dr and mom who was an rn. I though nothing of it. I noticed a week before my wedding i was more tired then usal and moddy. The night before my wedding i thought i couldnt sleep because of excitement but no i was so tired that i fell right a sleep. The day of the wedding i was really moody i thought everything was going wrong and every little thing made me cry. The night of the wedding was terrible because i was really tired and i didnt want to do anything. no sexual drive. But after a fight with my new husband i gave in and did what anyone did on the wedding night. On the honey moon i was really moody, pernoid, tired, felt mersible, and i didnt want to have sex at all with my husband whom i love. my husband knew something was up. but we couldnt figure it out. when i was off it for my period i felt calmer and happier but as soon as i got back on it my husband and i would fight over the stupidest things, things that usaly didnt bother me. we hardly had sex and it hurt him. my roomates even noticed that i was acting different. then a couple days ago i noticed tenderness in my breast, dizzness falling over once in a while, and not wanting to talk , i wanted to be alone, and i was talking about an anulment for our marriege. I thought i was just getting a cold because i felt really sick.. but then when i woke up this morning and i could not feel my husband kiss my neck, pinch my neck or arm, i felt numb all over and my husband was getting worried we looked up the side affects and we both noticed right away this is what was happening. we took it out right away and im feeling much better. other then feeling irritated at my dr for not telling me the side effects.
I would not recomend this to anyone.

I have been on Diovan for about two years now . The side effects are cramps in legs, restless, tired all the time, dizzness, weakness, sweating and the last thing I've been experiencing is low blood sugar. None of the doctors or endocrinologist can tell me why I have low blood sugar and when I ask can it be the Diovan, they said no but I have read otherwise. If anyone else has had symptoms such as these especially the low blood sugar please reply
Thank you

In reference to my Sept. 20th posting, I have been asked to describe the
-- By marinew4 | Reply | Private Message me"warning signs" of oncoming seizures that I have. To review, I was struck by lightning while serving in the Marine Corp in 1977 and have had seizure disorder and myoclonic jerks and inner ear problems since that time. As I stated in the post on the 20th, I have been tried on "all" of the seizures control medications and they all make it difficult to function as an educational administrator. The best medical advice I ever received was to keep a diary of everything I could remember leading up to a seizure. This included any activities I had been doing, what I had eaten, what time of day it was, any stress or problems that I was having. We are all different and probable all have different triggers. In my case, I learned that as a seizure approached, I would become more light headed or dizzy (I have inner ear problems all of the time secondary to being struck by lightning, I just recognize when they are getting worse) The ringing in my ears increases, (I also have tinnitus all of the time also from the lightning, and over time you get use to it, but I can notice when it increases) When these signs start, I stop what I am doing regardless of what I am doing, If I am in a meeting, I take a break, if I am driving (I drive locally or with someone with me) I get off the road. (In 30 years, I have never had a seizure while driving and actually have never had a traffic ticket in that period, I try to be very carefully with what driving I do, knowing that one occurrence will cost me my licenses.) I try to rest and be quiet, if the dizziness and tinnitus continue, I take two ten Mg Valium tables and lay down. If I am by myself, I will call some and let them know where I am and how I am doing. The valium probable stops the seizures about half of the time and I believe that it always make them less sevier. I have warning signs once or twice per week, and have to take valium on the average of once per week, and will have a gran mal seizure once or twice per month. With Lamictal, I believe the seizures are less frequent and less sevier as long as I keep the dosage low enough to not block my warning signs. I believe everyone's seizure disorder is different and some may be like mine and be able to learn warning signs by keeping good records of what you can remember leading up to the seizure. Always do everything under the direction of a Dr. that you trust and have faith in. The more information you can give your Dr. the better your individual treatment can be developed. If you can develop warning signs, the seizures are much easier controlled and you can live a much better quality of live.
