The gynecologist examined me and refused to insert a copper IUD because he said my uterus was too small. After I got dressed, he handed me a FREE SAMPLE of NuvaRing. I said : "But I don't want to use hormonal bc." He said : "This has less hormones and doesn't go through the liver." Well I guessed that was a GOOD thing, which he wanted me to believe of course. The mood swings, serious anxiety, irritability (I would go as far as to say, anger and impulse control problems) and burning vaginal pain during sex seriously affected my relationship with my boyfriend. We may even be broken up now and I blame it partly on NuvaRing and other hormonal bc I took after my 2 months on NuvaRing. I am so sad that I had to go through all that! I wonder how many gifts the doctors get for giving us the prescriptions of bc. Anyone interested in non hormonal bc? There is the cervical cap in many varieties and sizes. It doesn't affect sexual spontaneity because you can insert it several hours before sex and you can have intercourse several times with it on. You can even keep it in for up to 3 days.

i was giving the "free sample" packet of Femcon Fe by my ob-gyn to help with the irregularities of my periods due to PCOS.from day one its been a major pain!a headache and insane nausea!it was awful...and this trend continued non stop through the entire 3 1/2 weeks of use.headache nausea fatigue moody tender breast heartburn...heck...i began to think i was flipping pregnant and took a test to reassure myself i wasn't and that this birth control pill was just really working me over. i know one must allow their bodies to get used to the b/c...but this was ridiculous! i finally threw in the towel last night and stopped taking them.in my third week and already i'm spotting with incredibly bad cramps nonstop.makes me think something is seriously wrong...wait i know..its this freaking pill! i think there is a hidden agenda to these pharmacal companies handing out free samples of b/c....using you as little test subjects without being up front about how bad the effects are on the body.heck...i was foolish enough to be convinced....a minty chewable birth control pill.AWESOME!...cha! they should include on the packaging"This product has the tendency to totally annihilate your sense of comfort during the entire duration of consumption".screw this pill...i'd rather deal with the side effects of my last pill which is like cake and ice cream compared to this one here!

I posted last Friday night about my 4 year old daughter's Singulair experience. Just wanted to add a note that my daughter was actually on it for 16 days - forgot to include the free sample. Her last dose was last Friday. She had one more hallucination experience on Saturday evening. Sunday she developed an unexplainable itchy rash behind her ears and along her jawline. I gave her some Benadryl. Monday morning the rash is not as severe or itchy. This evening she is in very good spirits and ate quite well too.

I was given a free sample of Topamax to help with neuropathy, but while I still feel the neuropathy pain, I have so many side effects. It's been several weeks, and family members are concerned with the changes in my behavior and ability to function. My wife is afraid to let me drive, and worries about my performance at work - the stress is hard on me.

I've had severe moments of panic, agitation, rage and thoughts of suicide.

Since I can't tell that it's really treating the pain, I want off of this medication.

My 15 year old daughter was prescribed this medication for a sinus infection. By the 2nd day she had a headache and by that night she was having nightmares bad enough that she wanted me to watch her fall asleep. She is now paranoid, anxious, she has slept the entire day for the last 5 days and hasn't wanted to leave the house. I left the house and she called me on the phone very paranoid to the point she asked me not to hang up the phone and she kept asking how long until I come home. I was just a few blocks away and she kept telling me to hurry home. I put her in the car with us just to get out of the house then she said she felt sick and threw up. She hasn't held a full conversation in 5 days and says she feels like she's crazy. I called the on-call doctor's hospital and they surprised a doctor prescribed this to a teenager.

I got a free sample from my college when I bought stuff from our on-campus bookstore. I was feeling tired one night and had a date planned, so before my date got to my house, I took the Vivarin. I was very awake, but during our date I had to go to the restroom twice. And ended up puking the second time. I felt nauseous the whole time and we had to leave our date and he brought me home. It was horrible.

My MD gave me a free sample when I complained that my BPH caused me to get up too frequently ( 4-5 times an evening) to get a good nights sleep. I took Flomax .4mg for three nights and got great results the third evening with only one trip to the bathroom. However, the day after I fainted and for the last four days I have been dizzy despite not taking anymore Flomax. I was admitted to the hospital for tests. They were all negative but documented my Flomax induced orthostatic hypotension with repeated measurments of lying, sitting and then standing BP measurments.
I am 64 and never had this problem prior to taking those three Flomasx pills. RLR

fainting, dizziness

Received free sample from dematologist for possible ringworm on legs and midsection. Had extreme burning and itching when taking a shower with warm water. Soap made burning worse. Doctor advised & discontinued use. New perscription was issued for Ketaconazole Cream 2%.
