Enought symptoms and conditions

The best drug out there !! No I am not ignorant enough to make these cart blanche statements like some of these posts---Millions of people have used this drug successfully like I have. Just because it works for one individual they should not recommend it to the world nor if it causes you personally some harm YOU SHOULD NOT POST A STATEMENT THAT INFERS IT WILL HARM EVERYONE--IN-OTHER-WORDS GET A LIFE!

My doctor insist everything is normal with my Mirena- I'm in no pain, but I get these annoying periods that last two-three weeks, and they're barely there. Light enough to make me wear a light tampon, then BAM, major flow. n and off I'm having weird white discharge- like a lood clot only white. I thought I had an infection, but the doctor did cultures and said I'm fine. She sad they're most likely harmless systs. :-/ OH, and I am leaking colostrum like when I was prego- but I'm not prego.

I have been having a terrible itching on left side gland,i do think its from that Lisinopril plus feel agony on right side of stomach rib cage,am getting off of this stuff now after i read these messages before i crack up with more pains else where.om toplax and potassium and water pills so thank that's enough for now,,love to get rid of it all,

I have been on Remeron for last month, the first week was wonderful. I fell asleep for 12hrs the first night. The following nights of the first week were great, I slept like I hadn't in years. The third week it started to all crash down on me. I couldn't sleep, my legs felt like I had bugs crawling all over me, I kept my poor husband up all night, getting up and down, kicking and turning all night. I then started realizing I was angry over nothing. My mother is very sick and will not get better (one of the reason I started Remeron in the first place) and I am noticing I am irritated if she needs something or just calls to say hello. I don't want to talk to anyone, not my friends, husband or even my children. My son is a diabetic and I told my doctor if I took any medicine it couldn't just knock me out, I had to be coherent enough to take care of his needs. The medicine didn't bother me the first couple weeks. The third week, I would forget how much insulin to give him, and that is a scary feeling if you gave your son the right amount of medicine. I would think after I gave him his medicine, did I give him the right amount or am I going to make him go into shock. I also have gained weight, I have never liked sweets and that is all I think about. I go to dr. this week, hopefully she will find a new med that won't make me forget everything, want to be such a hag to everyone, and help with those crazy leg tingles. I was on 15 mgs to start out on, I even took an extra one the other night because of the leg tingles, and it made it worse. So I took an over the counter sleep aid and I finally fell asleep at 4:00 in morning. I am so glad I found the site, I thought I was losing my mind. Thank You to all of you, you have helped me tremendously.

Be very wary of this drug! My son was on it for a year and a half ...the last six months were a veritable nightmare for him. Severe anxiety issues (had to be hospitalized at one point ) and depression. Doctors kept saying it was not the medication but when I googled the drug side effects and stumbled on a blog about singulair problems , I told my son and off the medication he went. Within a month he was back to his normal self .
Thank goodness he was old enough to tell me how he was feeling ( 17 years old at the time) but what about very young children on this drug...how can they voice their problems when they don't have the vocabulary or knowledge of what is "normal"?

I am a 26yr-old, another victim of Yasmin.

My story's gonna be a bit long, but hope you can bare with it.
Please also forgive me for my incorrect grammer as English is not my mother tongue....but I hope I can get my message across to all of you.

Here it goes!

Ever since I had my first period at a late age of 18 (I was anorexic and severely underweight btw the age of 14-15 when I was supposed to start my mensus had I been healthy,,,,), my mensus had never been regular.

I only had about 3 full-fledged mensus per year, with occational spotting.
Apart from that, I was a happy, bubbly, cheerful lady.
Nevertheless, worried about the side effects of "not shedding", I made my first visit to the gyn.

The Dr. ultrascanned me.
Both my uterus and ovaries were normal in size.
She ran a blood test for my hormones and thryroid level.
They both came out fine.

So then she recommended me to take Yasmin, which will help to regularise my cycle and "shed" all the accumulated lining.

I was quite happy during my first box as I lost my water weight, and my skin cleared.

But then the nighmare began......

Half-way thru my second box, I suddenly became sooooo depressed.
Sure, I did have some ups and downs prior to taking Yasmin, but the ones I'm experiencing while on Yasmin is just beyond anyone's imagination.

Prior to taking Yasmin, I was confident with myself, which I believe made me an attractive person.

HOWEVER, ever since the onset of depression, I seem to have lost all the confidence in me.

All that "self-esteem" I used to possess is now GONE.

I feel so insecure about myself, and don't feel good about myself even when I'm in my favourite outfit.

Before Yasmin, I was so easily "turned-on" !: listening to my favourite tune turned me on, watching drama with my fav actors turned me on, thinking about what to have for dinner turned me on.... just about any thought was enought to mass-produce dopamine in my brain.

But these days, none of these make me happy.
Nothing makes me happy, but anything can make me go DOWN.

I've been off Yasmin for 5 days now.
I do feel slightly better than 5 days ago.
But I'm suffering from elevated heart beat around midnight, which is making me insomniac.

But my biggest concern is ;

WOULD I REGAIN THAT "GLOW" IN ME?
WOULD I REGAIN MY CONFIDENCE?

Also,

Is taking Evening Primrose Oil beneficial to regain my peaceful hormonal level?
Can I start taking EPO directly after stopping Yasmin?

By the way, I notice that I look older (as in aged) ever since taking Yasmin. Does BCP make you age faster? Or am I just imagining things out of depression?

PLEASE HELP....

Thank you for spending your time to read my story,,,,,,

I had been taking the brand name Wellbutrin SR (150mg) 2x per day. My doctor changed my dose to 200mg 2x a day, and the pharmacy filled it with the generic Bupropion SR. I have noticed my symptoms have been coming back (depression, etc.). I even have had lots of water retention, which makes me feel terrible. I would love to know if anyone has had the same problems with generic vs. the brand name. I know the pharmacy will tell us it is the SAME, but I wish now I would have requested the brand name, even if I had to wait until they shipped it in (they don't have it in stock).

Thanks!

I started with 25 mgs of topamax about 5 months ago for migraine prevention. I very gradually increased the dosage to 50 mgs and started having the usual side effects of tingling in hands, metal soda taste, concentration problems; but not bad enought to make me stop as my migraines were stopping as well! Then I upped the dosage to 75 mgs, and the side effects were sudsiding. My nurologist had me up the dosage to 100mg, and that very night I awoke from sleep having my first partial conscious siezure. At the time I didn't know what the heck was happening to me and thought I may be having a stroke. I am only 44 years old and I ran across the street at 2:30 in the morning to my neighbors house who is a nurse. Long story short, it took uppin the dosgae two more times and having this happen each time I upped the dose, to finally realize that it was the topamax that was causing the seizures. Now my nurologist is gradually decreasing my dosage to wean me off the topamax, and hopefully the siezures will stop! Has anyone had any experiences like this? Or am I the only one who get s siezures from an anti sewizure medication?

had my mirena fitted 17th june 2007. ive never had children and it was incredibly painful. this is my last resort for contraception as everything else is not suitable for me. well since its been fitted ive only had 2 weeks with no bleeding but im aware that its only been in for just over 2 months. i have no cramping now but it was bad to start with. i have actually lost about 4pounds in weight but have a very bloated stomach. i was actually surprised when i weighed myself cos my clothes were tight and i thought id actually put weight on. i have mood swings but they are not too bad. my sex drive is good and i have no spots or acne, so far i seem to be lucky with that. so apart from the bleeding and the bloated stomach, im reasonably happy. would just like to be reasured that the bleeding will eventually stop. i wouldnt mind the odd bit of bleeding but everyday is a bit much! all my friends have it fitted with no problems! i think there is just the added pressure of this being my last resort!!

Went to the Dr. for allergy meds and left with 50mg Toprol for high BP. I was moving 1500 miles the next day and he told me it was some scary Sh** (exact words) and I needed to find another Doc immediately and that it "may" cause sexual disfunction. Sure enought the very next night I proved him right. 27 years old and couldn't get it up for the first time. Immediately started having irregular heartbeat during the night, sometimes racing, others times down to 40-50 bpm, other times just skipping altogether. One month later my body is so fatigued I feel like an 90 year old man. Got to get off this stuff....

Hi all,
I have been off of Yasmin since the end of July this year. I was on it for about 3 1/2 years and didn't have any problems until the end when I started noticing increased anxiety and depression and weight gain of course. I had a withdrawl bleed then and then nothing. At the end of November I had a progresterone shot to cause another withdrawl bleed. I still have not had a real period since coming off of Yasmin. The anxiety and depression are pretty much gone but the weight gain is still here ( I gained even more when I went off of it) and alone is enought to cause some depression for me. I exercise on a regular basis and eat very healthy so the weight gain has to be caused by something. The doctor did test my tsh levels because I have many signs of hypothyroidism and my father's whole family has hypothyroidism but they said my tsh levels were fine. I started taking vitex about 1 week ago, so far I am not noticing anything. Any suggestions?? Thanks!

I've starting taking Advair 100/50 for Asthma symptons I devleoped 3 years ago. My wheezing became bad enought taht I was not able to exercise outside any longer, nor breath comfortably after just a few minutes of exertion. Within 2 weeks on Advair, my symptions were gone. That was 6 months ago, but now I wonder if other problems have developed because of the Advair. The middle toes on my right foot have been numb for that last 2 months, and I get light headed and anxious from time to time. Does this sound familiar to anyone?

I have been on Levaquin for 9 days for a sinus infection. On about the 7th day my face started breaking out in a rash. The rash is all over my chin, up the side of my face behind my ears, on my forehead, into my eyebrows, and above my lips. I have also noticed today that I am starting to itch all over. Not really bad itching, but enought that I noti ce it. I have not used any new shampoo, makeup, or soap; just the same products I always use. I feel sure this strange slightly itchy face rash is due to the Levaquin. The rash is a fine concentrated rash also with pimple like rash areas too. I do not normally have any problems with my face. This is strange.
