Even water symptoms and conditions

I was prescribed Bactrim for a UTI. I took it around 6 and by 8 I was face down the toilet bowl. I had some of the worst nausea and vomiting I have ever had in my life (and believe me, I had the worst morning sickness when I was pregnant. I was so bad I had to be hospitalized. This was worse than that). Even water made me vomit. I couldn't sleep. I could eat ice chips and that was it. My entire body hurt. Not very nice with a newborn to care for. I was afraid to take my next dose, but I'm toughing it out.

I have been on NuvaRing for over 3 years. I really like the fact that I don't have to remember to take a pill everyday.

Anyway, I want to see if anyone else out there has the same side effects as me.

Before I was on NuvaRing, I used to go out to the bars at least 3-4 times during the WEEK, and have plenty to drink. I was able to get up, feel a little hungover, but get right on my feet about an hour after I woke up and get right to work. I'd sometimes get a headache, but it wasn't anything. It didn't make me nauseated either.

Now, my fiance is telling me that the reason that I get SO hungover, even after a very relaxed night of drinking, may be related to being on the NuvaRing.

I can go out and have 2-3 drinks and the next day, my head is pounding and I puke all day long. I can't keep anything down, not even water. I will take a sip of water and 5 minutes later, I have to puke it up to make my stomach feel better. When I get these "hangovers" I finally can start eating after about 6 pm, but I'll still have the headache all night long.

Do you think that the NuvaRing causes dehydration and after drinking it makes it even worse?

I am getting married soon, so I will be going off the ring and will hopefully be able to see if there is a difference.

Good luck to you all!

I am sure glad that I found this site. I am a 58 year old male, I have been using Advair 500/50 for about 3 years but; I did not know there were side effects with this drug. I have COPD with approximately 15% of lung capacity left. Before starting on the Advair twice a day, I could walk app. 100ft before I got so out of breath. now I am lucky to be able to walk 10 ft. and even then I must rest and catch my breath. I have gained an enormous amount of weight, and at first with a change to my diet I would lose a couple of pounds, but; that was also with my cardiac rehab. The cough is getting much worse and I cough so hard I feel like I am going to pass out. I am nauseated, have no real taste for food anymore. It is hard to swallow even water. I get a sore throat and a lot of mucous and it has become at times very hard for me to speak. I have to speak slowly trying to form my words so they can be understood. I also have a heart condition, and was having real bad palpatations. Why I didn't know, I was hospitalized and was put on Warfain and Solatol which does help. I never would have associated any of these side effects if I had not read them here in this site, thank you for alerting me. I am at a loss as what to do, I am going to contact a lawyer, but; I still do not know if I should stop taking the Advair.

Yasmin has been hell for me. When I first took Yasmin, breakthrough bleeding has occured for 2 months (i expected this, and it is somewhat common). I always had migrane headaches without taking BC, but while on Yasmin i haven't experienced any less, or any less painful migrane headaches. About 4 months in, i start to feel pressure on my esophagus; at the time, I didn't think much of it. About halfway through the 4th month, I realize my eating habits have changed drastically. I feel full all the time, and unwilling to eat any food because of the pain and pressure i felt on my esophagus. Then it hit me, completely while i was on vacation. I was vomiting non-stop due to acid reflux, because nothing could go into my system, even water. Acid reflux has continued to effect my life while on Yasmin. I've gotten an Upper G.I done to only find irritation on my esophagus, which i believe is surely from taking Yasmin, because i've never had any other digestive problems before taking a BC pill. Now, i'm on Ortho-Tri cyclen lo, I've only been taking it for about 3 days though. At the moment I'm experiencing EXTREME migrane headaches, and this is what I assume is from withdraw, hopefully it will be gone for good when my body gets used to Ortho-lo.

@guest 13099:

I completely agree with sherry!!

Perhaps it might help you a little bit to read my post Nr. 12857 (page 4 or 5 on this site) where I had written my and my family doctor's theory about this extreme weight gain after getting off this horrible pill.

A few days ago I got even water in my feet (they looked like they were completely pumped up with water and even poured out of my shoes, I was so shocked!!!) which I never had before in my life!!!

Yesterday I found a website where the effects of diuretics were reported (Yasmin, or better the drospirenone in it is very similar to a diuretic named "spirolacton"!!! and so this pill diswaters your body the whole time while taking it!!!). It was very interesting to read, that if you get off such water pills your body may retain the more water than before taking the water pills. So it's pretty normal how some of us are "bloating up" I fear... :-(

I just hope (and my family doctor also thinks so!), that if I give my body enough time to recover, all this water and bloatedness will go away by itself when everything in my body is working normal again.

So there is hope for all of us but we need much more time and patience!!

I have been taking prednisone for severe chronic urticaria (hives) for 14 years. The good outwieghs the bad here because I would be dead by now if I was not on it. I would have killed myself. Before I was on it, my face would swell up so that I could not see, barely breathe and definitely not talk. On top of this I had hives on every inch of me, my hands so badly swollen that I could not close them, my feet so swollen even standing hurt and walking was like treading on knives. If that was not bad enough I had extreme nausea and could not keep even water down. Sleeping was completely out of the question and trying to do anything at all but sit and scratch was also out of the question. The only side effects I have had are extreme weight gain (60 the first year and in the additional years it has become a grand total of 150 lbs) I have doubled my weight since I started the medication. By the way I excercised like a hamster on crack and it did not help. I have pitting edema, an ulcer and I now bruise very easily. Over the years I have taken every antihistimine ever conceived as well as tried many other remedies. I have been on anti rejection medications, asthma medicine and even arthritis medication. At one point I was on Zantac and Proventil to see if that might do it. Unfortunately prednisone is the only thing that has worked for me. I have even tried some herbal remedies. I would wrap myself in aluminum foil if it would make my hives disappear, unfortunately it ended up being fat and pitting edema in which I have been wrapped. I can handle it. Getting fat is not the end of the world, not living my life is the end of everything! So take the vitamins and the detoxifiers and suck it up!

My wife was taking Doxycycline. Since last five days, she started complaining of severe chest pain and problem in swallowing food and even water. Doctor advised to stop taking Doxycycline. Even then the problem has not reduced at all. Does any one know how long will this continue and what steps should be taken to reduce the problem? Is there any further side affect of this?
