Dull headaches symptoms and conditions

I'm 30 I've been on Yaz for 1 month. While I'm a trooper and willing to give things a chance, I cannot let myself do that in this case. I went off Loestrin 24 bc of spotting, switched to Yaz. The first week was fine (my skin cleared up) then the side effects set in. Nausea upon awakening. No appetite. While some people would like the low appetite side effect, I find it unhealthy. In some instances, I have made myself eat. I love food, and not wanting to smell it, cook it, or ingest it is a problem. Then other problems set in. Chills for no reason, hot flashes, rapid heart rate upon standing, and daily dull headaches (did not have cold/flu/infection). Reduced sex drive, painful sex, and a yeast infection that doesn't seem to be going away. Continued the pill for the rest of the pack where symptoms waned. No psycho PMS symptoms, but was over emotional during my period. Symptoms came back and got worse week of period. Great trade off! I also had bad cramping during my period, still feel the fatigue, and mental fuzziness. I feel as if I am just floating around in space. I'd rather spot everyday and breakout on my face then feel like someone kicked the s*it out of me everyday. I am 2 pills into a new Yaz pack, but throwing it out and going back on Loestrin for the remainder of the month until I get a doctor's appointment.

I've been on lipitor and other generic forms of it for the last 8 years since the age of 26. I started on 10mg then 20mg and later 40mg. About 4 years ago I started with severe stomach cramps. The pain is so bad that I have to go home in the middle of the day, I can't walk or sit straight the pain is that bad and NOTHING helps. On a scale of 1 to 10 I would probably put this at a 7 or 8. I would also be nauseous and be really tired. I have had countless opinions and tests done and doctors keep telling me it is an "enigma" and there's nothing wrong with me. We've treated it through coeliac diet, exercise, lots of water, but it never helped. About a week ago I stopped drinking my meds by pure chance. I have not had one incidence of stomach ache. My doctor tells me that it's not possible for the lipitor to be the cause. I am sure he's wrong. Has anyone had a similar experience?

April I started Singulair last Thursday night and felt tired and depressed
29th on Friday but thought it was something going on in my life. On
2009 Saturday, I had severe, throbbing headaches all day but took the
Singulair for the third night. Sunday, I again had throbbing head- aches so looked up this web site and thought, "Aha!" I stopped
the medicine but had dull headaches on Monday and felt tired. On
Tuesday, I woke up and had trouble breathing. I went to the doctor
who ended up putting me on a nebulizer, giving me a shot of
steroids and prescribing an inhaler that I'm to use 3 times a day as
needed until the Singular is out of my system. I was only put on
the Singular in the first place because my doctor thought my
hoarseness might be from an allergy. What a nightmare!
I also suffered from apprehensiveness, and also
sleeplessness, and a fever. Never again!

On less than a week of Medrol Dosepak 4mg, swollen glands under jaw/chin area, neck, back and sides pain (fluid retention). Did not finish dose pac (left 3 or 4 tabs without taking). Increased appetite!!!, weight gain of 6-7 lbs! (in less than a week), dull headaches, increasing to a migraine even after not taking them for 3-5 days! Depression, tears flow out for no apparent reason at all. If any natural alternative med did a quarter of what this one does, the FDA would be shutting them down gestapo style in no time.

I started taking Yasmin about 1 month ago and seem to be experiencing the same side effects as many of you all. I know that many birth control pills can have side effects but Yasmin has been particularly bad for me. I have been getting dull headaches pretty frequently that just seem to linger for long periods of time. I have been experiencing nausea as well that I couldn't seem to figure out. The worst side effect, however, has been the MOOD SWINGS. My poor, loving (patient!) boyfriend! He's the one that has to take the worst of it. I find myself picking fights for no reason and getting really upset over nothing at all. I will go from happy to tears in split seconds. I know these emotions and sudden mood changes are not typical of my behavior yet I can't seem to control it. I feel like I have split personalities sometimes. I am getting off this pill as soon as possible and I suggest anyone with these same problems do the same! I can't wait to feel like myself again and feel in balance. I want to be happy like the person I was before I starting taking Yasmin.

I have been taking a generic version of Wellbutrin SR 150mg for almost 2 months now. I also take Zoloft 50mg. Before I started the wellbutrin, I had been taking zoloft for over a year to help with depression. The zoloft was working very well for my depression, but it completely killed my libido and as a newlywed, I felt something had to be done as it was beginning to affect my relationship with my husband.
So my doctor prescribed the wellbutrin. For the first couple of weeks I experienced a lot of nervous energy, a shortness of breath, a bit of nausea, forgetfulness and confusion. I almost stopped taking it because I didn't feel it was helping my libido either. But I stuck with it and after 3 weeks, it felt like it was definitely having a positive effect on my sex life. My husband noticed it too. He mentioned how much more responsive I had become when we were intimate. After 2 months, I am absolutely convinced that it has changed our lives and our relationship.
It is not, by any means a miracle drug though. I have a few complaints about it, the main one being the CONFUSION that I experience for hours after I take it. I was taking it in the morning before I went to work and everyday I noticed that I was not as sharp and efficient as I usually am. I figured this was a temporary side effect so I kept taking it as usual, but it never went away! I kept forgetting everything, lost focus easily, had dull headaches, and generally felt as if I could not connect to what I was doing.
SO...about a week ago, I thought I would try to take it at night...when it's not as important to be sharp and focused (and more important to be turned on). And it has turned out great! I'm so glad I started to do it. It doesn't affect my sleep...in fact I think I sleep better. And when I wake up in the morning, my dull headache is gone and I feel less foggy. At work, I feel normal again. My short term memory has recovered and I don't get confused as easily.
If you suffer from a lot of memory loss and confusion from this medication, I definitely suggest taking it at night. It has really helped me! Thanks and good luck!

I love Yasmin! I've been taking it for over a year now (I'm 31). I have little to no pms, super light periods, perfect skin, and no weight gain from taking this. My only complaints would be that I do get mild, dull headaches in the temple areas of my head more often than I ever remember. They're not bad though, and they don't ever last long. They're just annoying. Also, I noticed my period doesn't show up til day 4 of the placebo pill, which can be a little nerve wracking.

My 3 close friends, 2 sisters and a sister in law of mine all take Yasmin and none of us have ever had any major complaints about it. :)

I am 47 and have been on Lipitor now for about 7 months. For the last week or so, I have been experiencing upper shoulder, neck, and elbow pain. I passed it off as possibly the way that I sit at my computer. 1 week ago I went to the doctor to have the normal liver blood tests and she (the PA) asked if I had been experiencing any pain in my legs. At the time I didn't, and I didn't think anything of asking about my upper shoulder and neck problems, so I said "No, I feel fine".
Now today, I have been experiencing a constant twitch (for the lack of a better term) in my left foot. It's not like a normal twitch, in fact when my husband asked me to describe the sensation, I said that it felt like my nerve endings were twitching. I have also had a lot of dull headaches lately (which is very uncommon for me). I decided to search for Lipitor side effects and found this site. The thing that worries me more than anything is that my mom (which is 80 years old) has been on Lipitor now for approximately 4 years. She complained of her knees hurting but, chalked it up to her age. She contacted the doctor and he said that it wouldn't cause the kind of pain she was describing. It was most likely due to her age. I am so thankful I found this site and that everyone has taken the time to share their story. I am hoping that there is a healthier alternative. I read somewhere (maybe this site) to start taking CoQ10 and Vitamin C to reduce your cholesterol naturally. Hope this helps. Also, your natural CoQ10 is reduced considerably when taking statins. Thank you to everyone that has posted here. If I hear anything new I will let you know. God Bless and best wishes to everyone.
