Drink alot symptoms and conditions

I am 49 and my bad acne started to return and I started getting a receeding hairline. My OB put me on Yaz. The hair has continued to reced at an alarming rate - so it did not help with that. I still am breaking out alot, but I have since discovered a device called the ZitZapper which works really well (I wish it had been invented 30 years ago when I was at my worst). My skin has dried out alot which I really like. It's still oily in comparison to other peoples, but at least my eyeliner is not melting in 4 hours like it used to. I have no experienced any of the moodiness others complain of.

But I have gotten a yeast infection every other month and I am very dry. And my sex drive has never been lower. In fact, I have no sensation in the exterior tissues; I cannot acheive an orgasm, which I have never had problems with at all. The drospirenone in Yaz is derived from a "water pill" that gives men erectile disfunction, so the lowered libido is not a surprise.

I have lost weight (about 5 lbs); the pill makes your appetite diminish, especially if you drink alot of water. My breasts seem fuller but are not sore. In general I like the effect it has has on my body.

The first week of every month, I feel very tired but this only lasts the first week.

The package insert fot YAZ is clear that you should get tested for Potassium levels your first month. Your kidneys cannot process the minerals and be trying to clear other substances. The itching all over that I was feeling and others complain of - this is limited kidney function. A blood test will confirm this.The first month I was on Yaz I could not eat any high potassium foods without feeling sick. I ate a can of tuna and was sick for 2 days. I had a weird metallic taste in my mouth for the first 6 weeks. I can pretty much eat anything now without feeling sick.

I take fish oil daily to thin the blood to try to stave off clots.

I am going to try something else though to try to stop the hair loss.

I have been on lithium carbonate for 5 monthes. My hair has just started falling out a few weeks ago and I am not happy about this! I am also about 25 pounds overweight. I am very groggy in the morning- I take my pill at night. I am actually quite tired alot of the time, and thirsty but that isn't too bad, I drink alot of water. I went on lithium for bipolar disorder. I don't feel a change with my usual moods due to life, stress etc, but I am not manic.

I went to my doctor last week for symptoms of a common cold or a flu. I was given free samples (5) of Levaquin and haven't felt better yet, six days later. I only took four of the pills and will never take it again. My head is constantly feeling like it's floating in space and my sense of taste has changed. I called her back about my faintness and was told to get plenty of rest and drink alot of liquids. I've been in and out of bed since Thursday; how much rest do I need?! I'm concerned about the taste change because several things that I like alot don't taste right to me anymore. Levaquin will never again enter my body!

i was on predisone twice within the last six months because of a flare with chrons disease. i got really sick and was put on 40mg of prednisone twice a day. it made me feel much better, but the side effects sucked.

i had extreme moodiness and overreact to everything. i found myself constantly crying over nothing and got depressed very easily. i had alot of trouble sleeping, got really bad leg cramps. my appitite was insane. im constantly hungry and just feel like i need to eat and eat. i gained 15 pounds both times i was on it. my face gets so puffy. the fat that i gained is in my stomach and a weird texture. i also gained weight in my legs and have strech marks at the top. it took me about 3 months to get back to my normal weight. and then i got sick again and am currently dealing with it all again.

i hate predisone and to anyone going on it i recomend caring ALOT about what you eat because gaining that much weight sucks. also drink alot of water.

drinking water after you go off prednisone is supposed to drain your system of it and make the side effects go away quicker.

Chest pains, severe angina every month for last 9 months
loss of eyesight in right eye-substantial
severe eardrum pain
fatigue
de-hydration-extreme-never enough water and I drink alot
dizziness
foggy head

All related to potential side effects. Read the accompanying pamphlet with yasmin. They are all listed. We just don't read...

Very Very tired ,bloated belly like 5 month preg.drink alot

I was having a problem with my right ankle swelling and my blood pressure was rising - going from fine to high in a little over 6 months.

I have been taking Maxide for almost a year now. My head was swimmy and I had depth perseption issues with my vision the first few days which faded with only occasional episodes now. My kidneys frequently hurt, especially in the morning and I have to drink alot of water or my output goes way down. I found that soda, tea and coffee aggravate the situation. I find that I am extremely light sensitive now. Mowing the lawn at 4:00pm resulted in a mild sunburn. I seldom go to the beach with my family anymore because I get horrible burns there now. Until now, these are the only symptons I attributed to Maxide.

I have muscle stiffness after sitting for 30 minutes or more, especially in the ankles and knees. I have the same problem with pain in the hips and shoulders from laying at night and often wake with feet or hands numb. I've been visiting a chiropractor regularly for the past year. This makes me feel better, but doesn't appear to solve the problem.

I discovered the potassium deficiency and started taking a suppliment to correct that.

I've had strange rashes that seem to be poison ivy when I couldn't recall any exposure to it.

I've had blurred vision problems that my eye doctor couldn't explain.

I'm only 42, but I feel like I'm a cripple old woman. I had no idea these other problems could be attributed to Maxide. My last DR visit was the day after we got back from Vacation out of the country and my BP was high again. My Dr wanted to double my 25mg perscription and I refused. I found this searching for other ways to get healthy.

I was put on Levaquin for a UTI. I began taking 500 mg on Wednesday evening and woke up with the worst pain in both of my arms. I took tylenol and went about my day. When the tylenol wore off the pain came right back. Not knowing that it was the Levaquin, I took it again Thursday, Friday and Saturday. While shopping with my husband on Saturday I told him that I felt like I was having heart attack. Not only did my arms hurt, but I had terrible pain on one side of my neck. He took me back to the doctor and he told me to stop taking the Levaquin. He said that he never heard of these side effects before. I am trying to drink alot of water to flush this medication out of my system, but I am hoping that I did not do permanent damage to my body with this drug. STAY AWAY FROM IT!!!

i am new here, i wanted to know, if the hair loss is normal after you stop the pill? when i was on it, my hair fell a little bit more than what is normal, but now it is out of controll, it is way too thin and i had so much hair that it used to be bothersome to blowdry or style b/c it was way too much, but now it is way too thin :( i started using NIOXIN, anyone use that here??? well i just want to know if this will stop, i am 22 and getting very impatient with this hairloss, i feel so unattractive, i am getting even more depressed and anxiouse, and i am in college about to graduate so i am very stressed, i know that adds on to the hairloss, but not this severly. Good luck to all of you struggling with this horrendouse pill, i have been yasmin free now for about 5 months. TIP: drink alot of green and white tea, it flushes out alot of toxins, way more than just the 9 cups of water a day, add 2 cups of tea in ur day and it will give you energy aswell!!!! XOXO

Just wanted to let everyone know that Levaquin is a sulfur base drug. I had prostitus. Was given a weeks worth of the drug at 250 miligrams. Could not sleep or eat. a month later thought I had prostitus again. Went to emergency room, told Dr. my symptoms. Was given a shot of genimycin and 500 mg of Leviquin to take. Could not sleep, Became so anxious and depressed that I cried for days. I lost the strengh in my legs. Became confused and more depressed. Threw up for over two weeks lost 22 lbs. Was given more drugs that I could not take. Be real careful with this med. I am still not right yet. Lost alot of strength still anxious, Have to take med to sleep. and on and on! I pray for anyone who has taken this drug because I don't know when I will ever get over the effects of it. Took only three doses of 500 mg. Back in September. Lost five weeks of work. I am still trying to find my way back. Drink alot of grape juice. Take Meticumucle. and walk and walk work out. Read but don't give up!!!!! Say your prayers and in time things will get better. I still have good days and some ripples. But ask your Dr about what drugs would work for your anxiety. just don't ask for Koloplin. Be careful but that is another story. If you are taking a drug for chololestrol be careful with this as well. Good Luck and may " God always hold you in the palm of HIS hand" Best wishes, Traveller-1861CS

None, been taking it for 3 days now. Before I took it was running 103 fever within 8 hours or so of the first pill fever dropped to around 99.9 within 12 hours no fever, and felling alot better. You have to drink alot of water with this thought or it will dehidrate you big time.

Lithium apparently causes organ problems, as well as dehydration, so you should be very careful that you drink alot of fluids, avoid heavy sweating(exercize, saunas, etc.) I had'nt been told that the main ingredent was salt, so thats can be a problem for others as well, ibprofin is BAD while taking lithium, as it raises blood levels.So basically im telling what I had to learn the hard way, so be particular, and aware of what NOT to do wlile taking this pill.although the LISTED side effecs are few, this effective medication can be harmful in many ways, so educate yourself!

You know I do feel sorry for the people that could not tolerate this medication because it is the only one that has even touched this damned bout of sinusitus I have. But you guys realize what a whiny bunch of putzes you come acrossed as?

"I used Ambien to soldier through" SOLDIER THROUGH??? what are you soldiering through?....you got a little restless and you ran to another pill which handled it. Sorry lady, thats not "soldiering" anything.

"I cried for two days thinking I had arthritis" LADY, pleeeeaaase. You are remodeling your house like a wannabe carpenter, hammering away and you blame your joint pains on the medication.....HELLO?

Thats it, I've had enough. To those normal people reading this, the drug is fine....you'll get a little stomach discomfort, maybe the splats for a day or two, but follow the instructions, drink alot of water and you'll be feeling better in about four days.

Doctor told me to drink alot on this med. I've drank enough to refloat the ark and my mouth still feels like I've been in the desert. I haven't slept in 3 nights since I started taking it and I've had a terrible sinus headache.
I feel totally out of it - I don't know if it is from the med or the lack of sleep.
