Faces symptoms and conditions

I've been on Paxil for almost 9 years. I suppose it's a success for me because it has kept the depression away most of these past years. I'm on the maximum dose - 40 mg a day.

I've always been an over-achiever, a type A personality, friendly...with the Paxil I am lazy, no longer care about details, VERY friendly.
My home used to be pristine and comfortable....now I rarely put things away, there are stacks of books, magazines, and 'stuff' everywhere. Because of the mess, we haven't had visitors in our home for YEARS! I used to host parties on a regular basis in our home but these days I would die of embarrassment if anyone saw my home!

My memory is shot...I can't remember names, faces, details...seriously, I can watch a movie over and over again because I NEVER remember the ending!

My sleep cycle is shot as well. In years past, I only required about 5 hours of sleep. On Paxil, I don't fall asleep so I take lots of over-the-counter sleep aids to fall asleep and they knock me out...I can't wake up until almost noon!

I MUST take the Paxil at the same time each day otherwise the "zapping" starts. It isn't painful...just very annoying.

On the positive side, I have achieved many great things because I'm no longer apprehensive about public speaking. I've chaired several successful fundraisers for charities. But because the memory loss has become so profound, I'm no longer capable of chairing these types of events.

I've gained weight but it may be due to having thyroid cancer & having the entire gland removed...metabolism is shot.

I've only tried to go off the Paxil once but the depression resurfaced immediately and I cried for days on end...it was frightening! Of course I went back on it.

Speaking of crying, when on Paxil, it's almost impossible to cry! The tears just won't come.

Now for the really scary part...the effect of the Paxil on my depression is not what it used to be....but I'm on the maximum dose! I've tried several other meds but they just don't work as well. So what in the world will happen when it doesn't work for me anymore? That black hole called depression is the last place I want to be.

My 5 year old daughter was started on Zyrtec about 10 days ago (Dr.s orders) and WOW... not good. We can not see any changes in her allergies but her moodswings are way off. Last nite she told me "daddy that clear medicine I take now, makes me feel busy and funny". When we ask her why she is acting rude and being ugly, she says she doesn't know. She has been taking Singlar for about 2 months and Nasonex for about 1-2 years. HELP!!!!!

I am 32 years old, and still have acne. I have been taking it for almost 14 years now. I know that Lamictal causes skin rashes. I asked my neurologist if Lamictal causes acne. He said no. I will never be able to get rid of acne, as long as I keep taking it. I have been seizure-free for over 2.5 years now. Dad won't let me get off of it, and be on primidone only. It's more important to keep driving seizure-free, than to have clear skin.

my son is almost 4 and has been taking singulair since right before he turned 2! I am just blown away by all these things i've heard and now read about this med. I NEVER would have thought about this making him act the way he does! I thought it was just his terrible 2's and 3's! He has major anger issues, he screams out of nowhere for no apparent reason, when he gets in trouble he hits me or makes these horrible faces! he scares me sometimes! he has trouble falling asleep but once he is asleep he is out for like 11 hours sometimes! Here in the past yr when he plays with other kids he is very very mean to them... hitting them, beating them up, yelling at them.. i've NEVER seen my son act like that! It really sucks when other people just don't even wanna be around anymore b/c your kid is so mean! Which he has never been a mean kid! everyone loves him to death but can't understand why is so mean and has these outbursts sometimes! B/C that just isn't my Brayden!! sometimes i just think he is flat out crazy... like maybe i need to get him tested for some kinds of disorders! i just don't know what to do! the doc will tell me its normal 3 yr old behavior I'm afraid... and now if i take him he will think i am some crazy mother who is hearing all these stories and believing everything! Well hell ya I'm reading all this and believing everything cuz I'm sitting here experiencing the exact same thing other moms are who's children are on the same medications! I've even thought maybe its me i just had a baby 3 months ago so maybe its postpartum... so went to the doc and she has me on Zoloft which i DON'T need... I'm not a depressed person at all! But i have days where i just don't know what to do with my 3yr old i just cry i cant handle it it is entirely to much for me! it just blows me away to think that it may all be caused by a med that I give my child every night to help him! But is it really doing more goood than bad? I don't even wanna know whats gonna happen next... what is he gonna do?! I don't wanna even think about the possibilities... To know i may have an answer to his anger and everything else is kinda relieving, yet this whole thing scares me!! The med has seemed to help his breathing problem since hes been on it though! But if it makes him angry I'm sure the zyrtec and breathing treatments will do just fine!!

My husband and I have used the Neutrogena Summer Glow daily moisturizer w/Helioplex. Within the first two days we both broke out in a rash on our faces and necks along with bumpy skin. It feels dry and almost burnt in spots. I would not recommend this product. Neither of us have sensitive skin. Has anyone else experienced these symptoms and how did you cure?

Pica peach, you're an idiot.Plain and simple.Learn to spell first of, and if a guy going in you makes a girl a slut then your therefore saying every mother on the planet,including your own is a slut and not only that people don't just use birth control so they boyfriends,husbands,one night stands, or what ever can ejaculate in them its because CONDOMS DO BREAK! And sex is a natural thing you wouldn't be here if it weren't for sex.And just because you were molested or whatever doesn't give you the right to bitch or call other people names or stick your opinions in other peoples faces you're complaining by putting that out there.Get a life.

My gynocologist had to put me on Yaz because I had had a Kenalog Injection for a slipped disk and after being injected with Kenalog I kept having menstrual periods....4 in a month a half! So she gave me Yaz, it seems to work so far, but this drug gives me side effects too. Has anyone experienced extreme tiredness? I seem to be tired non-stop even after having a lot of sleep. This wasn't listed as side effect on my prescription, but I thought this may be causing it. Since I started taking this 3 weeks ago I began to feel real depressed and angry for no reason at all. I just get these weird bouts of depression.

I'm horrified that I ever gave this to my kids after taking some for a nagging cough myself last night. My scalp and skin are tingling, my eyes feel as if they're bulging out, I'm totally dehydrated with terrible cotton mouth but can't eat or drink because of loss of appetite and slight nausea, I feel paranoid, my body is exhausted but can't rest, nothing looks right (colors, faces). It's now been 8 hours....1tsp of Bromaxefed!! I can't believe the FDA approves the manufacturing and distribution of crap like this! Especially to our children! God only knows what is being approved for people with mental issues....no wonder they hear voices telling them to carry out unimaginable acts. THROW THE BOTTLE AWAY NOW!! And please get this off the market!

I started out with 35mg of prednisone to control my severe asthma, I have noticed over time i gained 10 pounds, my calves are very sore (since I do a lot of walking to try to lose the 10lbs) my dad says I have put on weight on my face, I'm often hungry but i try to restrain myself. Am now taking 10mg of prednisone and in 2 more weeks I will finally be finished with it. Hopefully the weight will go away!!! my friend who said her daughter was on Prednisone said that the weight WILL go away.. and no one will say i'm fat now!

I have experienced blurred vision and a shadow of objects and letters that is faint and just below the object or letter. For example, people will appear to have two sets of eyes. My Doctor stopped the Xalatan and assured me that the blurred vision would clear up, but it has been approximately 3 years and it seems to be getting worse. How many others have experienced this problem?? Nancy Dunaway, Oak Ridge, Tenn.
