Go back to bed symptoms and conditions

i've been on the nuva ring for a year now, and i started having complications about 6 months ago, when i contracted Bacterial Vaginosis, then after that cleared up, i got a bladder infection, and ever since i've been battling yeast infections non stop! i've gained 15 pounds in the past 6 months, always hungry, and in the past 2 months, my right breast has swollen tremendously and there is a constant pain on the side of the breast, i get strange headaches and find myself taking ibprofen for them 3 times a week, i get home from work at 2 am and sleep till noon/one and wake up feeling like i want to go back to bed or take a nap 3-4 hours later, i have a fiance and our SEX DRIVE IS BASICALLY GONE, i never want to engage sex, oral sex doesn't feel good, and when sex begins, it feels like needles scrapping my vaginal wall no matter how much lube we use, and after about 20 min when the session is over, i'm sitting on the toilet with a warm wet wash cloth, holding it to my vagina cuz it burns and stings so bad!!! my fiance just felt horrible and told me i bet it's the ring that is causing all these symptoms, i cried and cried cuz i'm thinking what is happening to me? i went from sex 3-4 times a week, to having sex once every 2 weeks only cuz i felt bad that we wern't doing it enough, and i suffered through it, so after we talked about it and going to see a doctor, i looked up the side effects for the nuva ring and found this site and my fiance and i are relieved to find out what the problem is, i just took the ring out and threw away my next 3 months of it, cuz i am DONE!!!

THANK GOODNESS for this site! I've been taking Yasmin for almost 3 years, ladies. I absolutely have to be on the pill, though. One reason is, a man can just look at me cross-eyed and I'll get pregnant. I have 3 lovely kids now I don't want to have any more.

I also have to be on the pill, because all the women in my family (including myself) have horrible PMS, cramps and general depression. During our periods the depression can become quite extreme. I took notice after reading this site that, I have been consistently depressed for about 2 years now and thought it was just genetic. My first year on Yasmin was great. That's why I took it - VERY LITTLE OR NO PMS, it claims.

About a year ago, I went to get a physical and had my thyroid checked. The doctor told me, "Maybe you're just one of those people who needs more sleep." I do like sleeping.... just not all day! With Yasmin, I've noticed I will wake up and need to go back to bed just 2 hours later, in addition to feeling hopeless.

I know trying find the right BCP is like playing Russian Rulet for some of us. I am 37 and, until I can just worry about menopause, I need to find something to prevent pregnancy and all the other undesireable side effects.

HAS ANYONE FOUND A PILL or OTHER SOLUTION THEY ARE AT EASE WITH?

Thanks ladies,
Melody

I have been on Dox for 2 weeks for cystic acne, and for the past 4 days I have experienced a bad case of 'heartburn'. But only when I swallow. A major pain right at the top of my stomach. No headaches though. That seems to be a popular one. I take it at night because otherwise I feel so sick in the morning that I have to go back to bed. I wonder, is this worth it?

Delusionary hullucinations. My grandmother Avelox took right before she went to bed, awoke in the night to use the restroom and saw people all over her bathroom floor. She proceeded to kick at them, screaming and crying. Was afraid to get off toliet to go back to bed because she was afraid of stepping on these people on the floor. Also had hot flashed. Hullucination continued the next day when she professed to seeing "Something or Someone" in her flower pot. Affraid to be alone.

I am a 44 year old male in fairly good health. My doctor prescribed Levaquin (500 mg), and I took my first dose at bed time. Within 2 hours I had never experiences quite a reaction in my life. My legs started to hurt, and I started getting very cold. My teeth were chattering. I tried to go back to bed but couldn't sleep as I was freezing. (This is New York in the middle of the summer with the a/c off).

I actually called the doctor on call at 3:00 a.m. and he said I can let it pass through my system or go to an emergency room.

So I let it pass and finally went to sleep by 5:00 a.m. covered in blankets. I woke up at 9:00 a.m. with sweat on my sheets and realized the drug must have wore off.

Needless to say, I will not be taking a second dose tonight before I consult with my doctor after the weekend.

This was all to help what appeared to be a sinus infection.

I say to all reading this, be careful with this powerful drug.
