End result symptoms and conditions

Everyone needs to google "the early show". Today they stated that Loestrin24 was one of the safest ocs on the market... says a lot about the product. Just give the pill time to do its work, I did and I love it. With bc pills you have to be patient and work through minor set backs to get the end result...the 2 day period and less cramping. I've tried everything under the sun for bc and this is the one I choose to stay with, especially now that it's only 24 dollars!

I read with interest several of the posts here. I have been on Lipitor for about 5 years. I have been experiencing leg pain, back pain, neck, and hand pain for likely 4 of the last 5 years. I have arthritis, I thought. Two weeks ago I ran out of Lipitor. I read several other forums where Vitamin C and Omega 3 were suggested as a possibles to replacing the Lipitor along with generous amounts of water. I said, What the hell, I will give that a try. Within days of stopping the Lipitor, most all the pain has subsided to the extent that I have not had to take any other Pain management medications at all. I was prescribed Perocet for the pain I have been experiencing. Two weeks ago, I had a tough time opening a bottle of soda, or even a relish or pickle jar. Today I can! Coincidence, I think not!!

I have been on anti-depressants for about 10 years now. I've tried Wellbutrin, Lexapro, Prozac, and Effexor (just to name a few). I've been on Effexor (this is my 2nd time) for about 4 years now. I finally decided to get off the effexor and I desperately want to share what's been happening ever since. I slowly weened off of it, starting at my regular 175mg a day for 2 1/2 weeks, then down to 125mg, 75mg, and then 37.5. My doctor suggested I change doses every week, however I went 2 1/2 weeks because of the AWFUL side effects.

I have had the typical head "buzzing" is what I call it and my nerves are a wreck 24/7 but the worse problem I'm having and the one I haven't seen anyone write about yet is my severe stomach problems. I have had diarrhea everyday, all day, since I went off Effexor. It's been over 2 weeks since I've taken my last pill and it's not getting any better. My dr. thinks it could be IBS or bad eating habits, but I've tried changing my diet, etc. and nothing is giving me any relief. It's come to the point where I can't tell if my nerves are what is upsetting my stomach or if my upset stomach is what is setting off my nerves. Anyone else with these issues??

And in case anyone reads this before starting Effexor, please please don't use this medication. Try any and/or all other anti-depressants before using Effexor. It may work for your depression, but the side effects highly out weigh the benefits. I'm finding that out the hard way now. I would have never taken this drug if I knew what I would be in for 4 yrs down the road. And I can't help but be upset with our healthcare system when doctor's would actually prescribe this to their patients.

decomposition of lisinopril in acidic medium so narrow absorption window.

I have been taken 10 units of Lupron for the past 3 days in preparation of IVF with donor eggs. I am also on BCP until tomorrow. The symptoms from lupron were felt pretty much after my first shot. I have been feeling irritable, moody and have terrible insomnia at night and a mild lingering headache, but no hot flashes - at least not yet. The insomnia is terrible as I wake up in the middle of the night with horrible thoughts and feeling agitated and irritable. I would describe the overall feeling as if I have been drinking 20 cups of strong coffee per day and feeling constantly pepped up. But as some of you said, I keep on thinking of the end result and the opportunity to possibly get what I would otherwise miss out in life if not for these drugs - a baby to love and cherish.
Ok, for now we endure Lupron and the future meds like progesterone oil shots which sound "very" exciting.
Good luck to everyone.

I have had rectal bleeding for the last 3 days. I saw the doctor who referred me for a coloscopy after I complained. No information on how to stop this or why I'm bleeding. Also very bad heartburn and depression. Gee, who wouldn't be depressed if they saw blood from their anus?
I'd rather have bronchitis, thank you very much.

I just had my MIRENA inserted today, OUCH! I asked the nurse prior to insertion if it would be painful and she said I would be "Alittle Crampy" but that was it. ALITTLE CRAMPY is not the word for it, I felt and have felt for 51/2hours since the insertion like I am in labor. Thank god I had some old Vicodin in my med cabinet because it was UNBEARABLE! I decided on this birth control because I didn't want to gain weight and had with ALL the others I have tried but maybe that wasn't the right decision? I don't want to gain weight,lose my hair,get facial hair(YUCK) or get even moodier than I already am. I already have NO libido how could that get worse? My poor husband, I will have to get him a lifetime membership to the "soap in shower club". Can anyone give me hope? Please , please, please!

I have taken Lupron injections for almost a week now. Me, and my husband are focusing on the end result...the baby. I am different than usual(as far as mood swings), but it is comforting to know that it will change here soon. It's also helpful to read other's issues with the drug, so I know I a not the only one.
Yesterday, my girlfriend came over to visit...I was crying uncontrollably....which I never do that! I also get VERY snappy with people..especially my husband. I am mad so much more and more intensely

Hello,

I read about how YAZ birth control pill affects the body and psych and I am now scared. This is my 2nd day of YAZ (I've never been on birth control pills ever and I am 27 years old), it's all new to me but after reading all these negative posts about Yaz I don't know what to do. Before the birth control pills, I was depressed, annoying, serious weight problems - 210 lbs :~~((, low energy, low libido, always tired, terrible migraines every 2nd day, ridiculously increased appetite and excessive hunger, hair where it shouldn't be, menstrual blood clots, excessive cramping etc
I have all these problems for 3 years now and now that the family doc. put me on YAZ birth control pill I am even more scared - mainly of more weight gain, it would be a tragedy for me, I am fat enough already and what's worse I can't lose the weight, exercise doesn't help, diet doesn't help, NOTHING. Will YAZ birth control pill worsen my already tragic condition? I just don't know what to do and what to believe ... I appreciate any advice or help you can give me ... Thank You to all!

OK, It has been 1 week now since my wife has stopped taking 750mg and 3 ER visits later and there is still no end in sight! Can someone please tell me when the side effects will go away?!?!?!?!

WHY IS THIS DRUG STILL ON THE MARKET???? My wife is in severe pain after taking just 2 days worth of 750 Levaquin. Fear of dying, legs trembling, vomitting, hips and back pain, headaches, and severe stomach pains! Does anyone know how long this willl last? It has already been 3 days since she stopped taking the pills! DO NOT TAKE THIS PILL!!!

My 8 year old son was put on Advair 18 months ago because his idiot father and step-mother smoked around him and this was the only medicine that got his asthma under control.
My son has been showing signs of ADHD and may fail 3rd grade if I cannot get him to pass the End of grade testing. I thought his problems in school were because he was having problems with Dad. Eventually it became evident that it wasn't his Dad and I figured out it was ADVAIR. I knew an adult who was on Advair and also showed signs A.D.D. after she began taking Advair. I confronted my son's allergist and he confirmed that A.D.H.D. is a side effect. My son also had problems with headaches, sinus infections, problems with his bowels, dry mouth, sores on his penius, depression and just not my little boy. I even had my son tested to see if we can figure out why he is doing so poorly in school, and I am awaiting on the results. They are factoring ADVAIR and all his allergy medicine in the end result. I am very happy to report that since my son has been off of ADVAIR his reading has picked up and homework is getting a little easier.

For all parents of young asthmatics ... My 8 yr. old son had severe behavioral problems after being on Advair for a few months. Changes were gradual but the end result was exposive. Singular wasnt effective in controlling his asthma and the doctor at Glaxo Welcome recommened Flovent Discus. What a relief!! He was started on the lowest recommended dosage and not only is he behaving like his old self again but his breathing has NEVER BEEN BETTER! Don't just "listen" to your doctor - Do the research, call the drug companies, and listen to your gut instinct.
