Gain thanks symptoms and conditions

I had my Mirena in for about a year and 9months and eventually went to get it taken out on wednesday- 17th Oct, cos of all the side effects- mostly mood swings and acne that never disappeared, despite being told it would. I have NEVER in my life had a spot on my back or chest until I got this put in. I thought, I have had enough and my boyfriend and I decided to just start using condoms because I have had it with hormonal contraceptives. They just dont agree with me, and many others it would seem. I never really put on weight with it, but my stomach is a lot more bloated than it used to be, unsure if it is cos its making me retain water. Whatevs, I feel fine at the moment, having now had it out, but not hugely different.

my period finished the day before I got it out, so I dont know when I'll be due another. I reckon it'll take a while for my hormones to balance out and get rid of the spots etc. So I'm not expecting a quick recovery. I am currently at Uni in edinburgh studying to be a Herbalist and I may see about taking some herbs to help speed up the process.

One thing before I go, I was really pissed off that the nurse in the family planning clinic more or less dismissed my sympthoms, saying it could'nt cause them. I was in no mod to argue, but bloody hell. They must be covering up for some reason or another, or maybe they just don't realise that it DOES cause side-effects and they are WRITTEN ON THE LEAFLET that you get when you get the thing inserted. D'oh.

Anyways, I will try and come back and let you know how it goes, how quickly my moods and spots get better, etc and if anyone wants to ask anything, feel free :D

Vomiting, lots of pain on right rib, and muscle weakness, same joint pain as with arimidex or worst and I just started taking it!!!!!! Does it get worst or better after a while? I am fed up with these meds......... Whats the real outcome 3% or 4 % for survival and recurrence? Anybody knows?
Good luck to all of us. We need it!

I have been on Lisinopril now for nearly 16weeks, went to doctors with a headache and they checked blood pressure it was 150/100. They put me on 5mg to start with, after 8 weeks they upped the doze to 10mg. I have experienced fuzzy headaches, severe neck pain and pins and needles down left arm for the whole of 16weeks, also been noticing that my clothes are becoming tight so weight gain as well, some days feel like i'm not even all there and that I'm never going to see my family growing up. Want to come of the pills but am too scared.It's reasuring to know I'm not the only one experiencing these side effects.

I have been on geodon for 5 months now. At first the side effects were horrible. I was very agitated, unable to sit still, flushing, and paranoia. However, now I feel better. The first month and a half were hell. I have BPD and my moods are very controlled. I have lost 30lbs on this medicine. I was on Zyprexa prior to this and experienced a 60lb weight gain. Thanks to everyone who has posted prior to this...when i was struggling so, it was good to know others had experienced my side effects too.

I have been on advair for a few months. I put on ten unexplained pounds, and my knees started to hurt. I was especially confused by the weight gain because I knew I was not eating any additional food. I attributed the pain in my knee to the weight gain. Thanks to the site, I realize that both the weight gain and the pain in the joint might be advair related.

Thanks you Chrissy, I'm really hoping this is what has been causing me this aggravation. Regardless of what the dr.'s say or not. Like I said I just got this theory yesterday, but m first dr. said I needed a therapist. Nice Dr. huh!. I'm normally a perfectly happy healthy person. It's so weird that all of this would come on after 3 yrs., but I guess anything is possible. I'm still having the chest pains, but I'm hoping that they will dissipate with in time. It hasn't even been 24 hrs. yet. But I'd be curious to see if anyone else has had all or most of my symptoms. Especially the rapid weight gain.
Thanks for the advice.

Hi chrissy,

hope all is well. wanted to ask if as you aer longer off the yasmin the side effects decrease each month......i know they are still lingering but things like mid cycle the larger breasts etc did that subside for you.Also i know the pulse slowed for you at 4mths how did you know did it just sibside or slowly start to go down ....

Silke

Hi... I have had problems with facial hair growth since getting on Yasmin. I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem. I have also experienced moodiness and weight gain.
Thanks for your help!

Hi,

Had BP spike due to panic attacks and primary high BP 170/110. Was put on "water pill" and 25 mg, did nothing, 50 mg, lowered it some but not enough. Then 100 mg. BP is 127/79, but have had modest weight gain, short-term memory loss, decreased interest in sex, and the mental fogginess. See the Dr. in Feb., can he substitute anything for this? Heart rate is down to 65-70 was 100-110. Also eating less, and walking but still the weight gain. Thanks. 46 year old male.

I have been on Luvox for 2 years now. It has worked well for me. Although I have put on weight and now I am dieting and exercising and it won't seem to come off. I am wondering if anyone else on this medication has experienced weight gain. Thanks.

Is anyone besides me gaining weight on Lopressor? I was put on it Aug. 2002 and by January, I had gained 10 lbs. My Dr. says no it doesn't. I work with several nurses and they say yes it does. I have also atarting reading Dr. Atkins Diet book and he says that along with Lopressor, Corgard and Inderal will make you gain and will also make it very hard for you to lose weight while on these 3 drugs. Anyone else haaving this problem? Does anyone have any idea which medications for High B.P. won't cause weight gain? Thanks glenda
