Go figure symptoms and conditions

ok I posted a few months ago about my experience with this pill. Well Im now back to say it is starting not to work. My period started about 8 days ago and has not stopped but get this I am not taking the brown pills so I should not be getting a period @ all. Go figure. Also my breast which were large before I started this pill is HUGER now I take pictures from the neck up cuz I l look like Im swollen. I am now taking two pills a day to stop the bleeding so we will see but when this pack is gone im off these for good. I have had horrible cramps as if i was not on the pill. I can say the bleeding was considerably light considering I cannot leave out side my house when Im on my period usually. But the reason for me starting the pill was to not have periods at all!!!

I got all those problems but the higher the dosage the more attacks i had.Another neurologist think that i just have pseudoseizures-paranoia attacks.Anyways the doctor screwed me up,he gave me 5 years ago something different and my seizures started daily than switched me to lamictal.I must say that sometimes i have or HAD electricity in my left hand all the time and once a women touched me and got stunned lol.anyways lamictal is bad,i didn't have any side effects like loosing hair but i did have A LOT of head hecks.I must share something with you,when i read epilepsy.com it seems that my seizures called myclonics in the end they are not but they similar in effects.Myclonics its seizures that happens only in the morning.Heres the catch for me,i figured out that if i won't close my eyes the first hour after i got up and went to the sun outside than i didn't have seizures.Its not a real solution so i decided to raise the lamictal from 175 which was ok for me to 200-250 like the good doctor said,just made me worse.Now i started dropping it by 25 mill each week and i must say i feel better only a little tired after 5 years that my body got used to it.Anyway if any of you have myclonics than don't close your eyes.BTW i have AURA-feeling before the seizure but luckily for me after a second if i open my eyes nothing will happen although i don't always take notice of it.In midway it would happen if i seat in front of computer and will lose attention if someone will call me or whatever but its a mill-sec seizure,barely noticible if at all and i never get "disconnected" from reality!!!
the ONLY thing which is bad for me is that except that im sick now my blood pressure is huge-140/82 and pulse 106 which is being like that for couple of days but i will get trough that.Since i lowered my dosage my midway seizures stopped,now im on 100.

P.S=Check yourself with the neurologist with a different one preheps.IF you can describe the whole seizure it means you don't dispatch from earth which mean it might be psydo seizures which are psychotic and not epileptic,the most important thing is that if someone takes lamictal or any anti apileptic drug even tho he doesn't have real seizures the medicine can do this.I got screwed and now i try to get over it,the doctor trowed me on woods with tablets after having a first seizure WHICH IS WRONG because you sepused to get tablets only after 3 attacks and after describing seizures and doing eeg tests to make sure that you DO have the problem.

Anyways remember what i said about the closing eyes in the morning part,if you close your eyes and feel weird keep them open at least those that have them after they wake up,that was a solution for me and it can help you to...MY doctor said everyone like me but i think he is laying,the other neurologist said my doctor was wrong probably about the seizures,i think i have both but i do know that believing and saying that you don't have anything WILL help you and lower your seizures,after speaking with the doctor i actually started to believe i don't have anything and walla i have almost NADA,today i had zero!!!! :D

OF course don't lower dosage without first consulting with someone expert,but since i know i can control basically every seizure i have and i know what to do to avoid it i let my self start dropping dozes!!!

GOOD LUCK my friends believe in yourself and if you want some personal info leave your msn i will add you and try to answer you the best i could,i was researching my self trying to figure out the core of the problem for 5 years but after 6 months knocking my head in the pipe when i washed my face i learned what i should avoid to minimize the chance!!!Try that

Hi, Reading all of your posts. I have been 100mg of Topamax for three years now and my side effects consist of tingle of the fingers/hands/feet,
oily T zone (face), short term memory loss, extreme fatigue, loss of taste. which I don't think is necessary a bad thing. haven't drank soda in three years due to the carbonation. Anything to sweet I can eat or drink. I have to water down my juices otherwise there to sweet. and I experience far less
migraines. from 2-4 a week or week long migraines where I would go to ER to get a shot of morphine and I was still feeling the pain. to only maybe 1 a month. But if I spot it fast enough a couple Tylenol will help before I have to take a Zomig to knock me out. It sucks being on meds for the rest of your life being young, this started for me age 30 I will be on migraine meds for life so my neurosurgeon says, and they don't think its related but I also ended up with 5 ulcers and a broken esophageal sphincter which now gave me GERD and requires life long meds which oh yeah I have constipation but is that from the GERD or the Topamax? So I don't take anything unless I absolutely have to. which includes my asthma inhaler or nebs. last thing I need is steroids on top of everything else. I drink coffee all day just to keep me awake but at the same time the min I stop I sleep hard and sound. Go figure.

I am getting mine removed FRIDAY!! And Friday can't come soon enough. I am kinda bummed tho for having to go back on the pill but I can't hack this ANY LONGER!!! One of my friends works for a GP and I went to him because of some of my side effects. The flu like symptoms minus having the flu (had it for at least 2 to 3 mos now) NO sex drive (causing trouble with my marriage. Hubby is taking it WAY to personal), swelling in my hands, feet, legs, and face. (my face will feel flush and BAM I'm swollen!!) VERY BAD MOOD SWINGS!!! Very Bad isn't the word for it!! There are no words to explain my moods!! ANYHOW..... I sent this to my friend to read and she pulled it up at work. Well the GP said that this isn't a reliable place to go for information on the side effects. "There are NO positive side effects to anything." Which is true BUT he seems to think going to Web MD or some sight like that is more reliable than here. And that this sight shouldn't scare me and he wouldn't urge me to have it removed after reading this. (OH YEAH I forgot to mention joint pain, I have HORRIBLE joint pain in my hands, wrists, elbows, knees, ankles, and feet. The worst of it is in my wrists and elbows) Back to what I was saying. To that (this sight not being reliable) I say go to Web MD and post there too! I pray that I can get back to me after this comes out!! I hope it don't take too long either! I MISS the old me and HATE the new me!! But FRIDAY HURRY UP AND GET HERE. And for anyone who has had it removed........ anything I should be repaired for??? Thanks for your time!

I Have ms I just found out. They thought I had a brain tumor and the admitted me to the hospital and started treating me immediately with Prendisone.It has just been horrible do you hear me horrible!! after I weened off of them the moon face became horrible. I have knee pain and they swell. my legs and feet and stomach. I have swelling in my back that looks like a buffalo hump. It is horrible.please help me. I feel so unattractive I just cant help it. I am very grateful that it has helped me. I was numb on my entire right side that is another reason why they put me on it. I am glad that is gone, but I almost think I would rather deal with the numbness than I would all of this. It is really scary because nobody said anything to me about how it was going to effect me. Actually the nurses said that there were no side effects to worry about. well let me tell you it has been one roller coaster; i was pumped full of the Prednisone through an IV for thirteen days straight in the hospital,, then was sent home and was given the pill form. all together I have been on the Prednisone for 26 days straight. I will just be so grateful when all of this subsides.All I want for Christmas is to get this swelling off of me and get rid of the moon face and the joint pain. is that tooooo much to ask my goodness. I am so glad that I found this site. it has really been most helpful. I hope everyone out there has better luck with this than I have. it sounds like allot of people have problems. thanks

side effect: bleeding at urethra

For a long-term sinus infection that has drained my energy, I took my first pill in the Leva-pak about noon today with a large glass of water. Ate lunch. Planned to vacuum, but it was difficult to get into and around in our garage (we made a space for a car to go in now that mornings bring frost outside.) So I ended up moving things around in the garage. Major moving around, some stuff heavy. I was thrilled to have energy and strength to actually do something at last and to think of how long I had been listlessly surviving and at times even bedridden before this magical pill.

About 8:30 I came in to pee and found my undies bloody. Bravo, I said to myself, 10 years post menopause and I got my period again. This is the drug of youthfulness: energy and menstruation. Fortunately I still have a few sanitary items around for female friends who visit, so I got to be one of my friends.

But it seems that the blood is coming from the urethra, not from the vagina. And I have some discomfort there. So I recalled that the drug pakage said to drink plenty of water and realized that I hadn't had any more drinks since about noon or 1. I drank another glass of water and headed back to the garage.

I finished up the garage (who said I'm obsessive?) about 9:30 and came in to find out more about the new drug. I saw that the pack said right on it that drinking plenty of liquids PREVENTS THE FORMATION OF CRYSTALS IN THE URINE. So I drank 2 more glasses of water, thinking maybe crystals have formed in my urine and are cutting into the tissues of my bladder and urethra making them bleed. Guess these crystals must be softer than kidney stones or maybe much much smaller, because I've seen the pain folks get with kidney stones, and I would not be sitting here reading your experiences and now typing up my own to share with y'all if I had as much pain as kidney stones cause!

Anyway, with those two more glasses of water, I came online to see the deal with urethral bleeding caused by Leva-pak, and what do I see. Well, the first website I went to said about reading the pharmacist's paper that came with the L-pak. (My doc calls it L-pak, and I hope it's not gonna be L for me as it has been for most of y'all.) Now I wondered if the pharmacist had even put one in. Went and looked and sure enough, there it was, and it said to drink plenty of water "to prevent the formation of crystals in the urine." No further info about those crystals or their side effects. Some words about bleeding but totally vague, like does drinking water cure bleeding?? Who knows?

That paper the pharmacist put in my bag also said that one of the side effects can be "excitement". I thought, that's my side effect, and I am very happy about that. Garage is too. Hubby is too. Life is good. Leva-pack is good for me, for us for the world.

Anyway, back at the puter, eventually I found y'all and your many stories of pain and suffering caused by Levaquil. But, lo and behold, NOT A ONE OF YOU HAS MENTIONED MY BLOODY SIDE EFFECT. That goes to show what drinking plenty of liquids can spare you. Save ya a quarter wasted on sanitary pads you coulda given your female guests. Save ya from washing blood out of your undies again. Save ya from worrying about whether to call the doc (pharmacist is home in bed by now and tomorrow is Sunday. It figures.) And whether to take another pill.

Sheesh, it's a slow business trying to type up my story for ya, now 11 and time for more water, I figure. Be right back again...ok. I see the bleeding continues but it's a LIGHT DAY.

Well, now I've read this whole webpage top to bottom, and I feel pretty worried about taking enough of this Levaquil stuff to get exploding tendons and total nerve damage and pain and suffering and crippling and insanity and death by anaphylactic shock if I take another one.

I probably will take another one, just being sure to drink plenty a water too. Excuse me a sec while I go get another, as it is now after 10....okay I'm back now.We'll see as time goes along about taking any more. And if I am a good scout, I should come back and provide the REST OF MY STORY in a few days.

I saw that someone here said that Cipro is a fluoxosomethingorother too. I don't know why the doc didn't pick Cipro for me today instead of the Leva-pak. Maybe the last drug rep in his office gave him some good lines about the advantages of L as opposed to C, who knows? Anyway, if Cip and Lev are in the same family, I must say that as a postal employee, I am ready to take Cipro at the drop of a hat if our new machines spot anthrax in the air where we work. Sounds like those postal employees who died would have survived if the docs had recognized what was wrong with them and given them the Cipro early on. At least, other people who showed up sick afterwards with anthrax exposure got Cipro, and most of them survived, I heard.

The upshot is that I hope we don't take away the fluoxisomethingorothers until we find somthing better. Law suit perhaps, but not to deny the life-saving drug from EVERYBODY because some folks have bad side effects. Instead, we should find out how to test each person for having trouble taking it. You know, put a little drug in with some of their hair and a little in some of their blood and a little in some of their pee and see if it curdles or grows sprouts or something to show how each patient will react to it. Then tell each one what to expect from the various drugs available for that person's ailment. Then the patient can decide which side effects he wants to sign up for or if he just wants to stick with his original ailment.

I have not decided whether I will take any more of these pills. I will observe my crochety side effect and watch for any new ones that may pop up before I make my decision each day. I am very very concerned about long lasting muscle and tendon pains. I have not been able to hike now for about 3 months due to loss of energy, strength, and confidence. And I sure don't want to miss 3 more months trying to get over exploded achilles, burning knees, seizures, or nerve damage etc.

As a postal employee, I never do any research into cures for ailments. I am fairly experienced with ailments. I cannot provide you with any good excuses for not seeking to find cures for our health troubles.

I feel lucky to have been born when and where I was. I waited until central heat, air conditioning, cushioned seats in heated, air-conditioned autos(spare me from buckboards on unpaved "roads"), and penicillan. That penicillan brought me through pneumonia in 1947. Had I arrived 5 years sooner, I doubt it would have been available to me. Hmmm, I wouldn't a been available to share my story with you folks this evening either. So I must say a blessing for all those who try to improve my health when I go to them for help with my various complaints. Sure, money may be highly motivating for some of them, but Donald Trump and Bill Gates found ways to make money without going into medicine or research and drug development or doctoring.

So far, that's my story, my red flag today.

May THE FORCE be with each of you as you search for the best solutions for your ever-new mind and body problems. May we seek wisdom widely and recognize that what used to work for us often won't work any more because our bodies keep changing. We are along for the ride and hope to make it as pleasurable as possible as we round each curve and surmount each hill.

God bless us all, each and every one.
Christmas is coming...Tiny Tim's words echo through the years.

I have had the most horrible and irritating dry cough I have ever had with this medication. In addition to this I have very vivid HD type realistic nightmares which occur during the rare times I am actually sleeping and not coughing. I now have to take cough medicene before going out because anything, I mean anything can set this cough off. I can't even go to the movies anymore! By the way my high blood presssure is still the same...go figure.

I began taking inderal to prevent migraines. I became severely depressed, and would cry about everything. I even cried when my husband made me dinner! I was angry about everything and couldn't control my moods at all. I never associated it with the medicine. I ran out and didn't get to the drug store, and within 3 days of being off the medicine, I was much better! Please

I've been taking Femcon for a few days to get my periods regular again, (to actually get pregnant! go figure), and I take it about 5pm. I feel sick about 9pm and then again when I wake up. It's awful. I'm gonna see if there is another time of day that will make me feel better. Otherwise.... :-(

Addition to previous posting...they also wanted to treat him for Asthma!! Go figure??

Just amazing how things react differently on different people.
I have been on Prednisone for almost 5 weeks now and have LOST weight. I eat because I am supposed to not because I want to, I am NOT hungry !!! I sleep like a baby too... go figure? However, I am weaning off it and am down to 5mg a day and I am experiencing headaches and leg pain which I did not have while on a higher dose (15mg). I love the stuff although I think I am in a minority of one in the world. I feel great when I am on it even though have used it in the past and developed cataracts from it at the age of 48 (now 49) and have already had one cataract removed.

I was prescribed the levaquin for a sinus infection. I developed severe muscle aches and pain in both legs and especially my feet, such that it was very painful to walk. Also, my joints felt sore and swollen all over my body; even my neck hurt. My physician said to stop the levaquin right away. I heard that others have had this problem and that there are possible spontaneous tendon ruptures. But I also heard that these symptoms go away... mine have not, and it has been over a year now. It's very painful. Very painful, indeed. I can't say that it was worth it to take the levaquin, as I was then prescribed another antibiotic which took care of the problem without these side effects. I wish I had never taken it now. I also have edema to the lower extremities now, but I don't know if that also is from the levaquin. Hard to say. My physician told me that my aches, pains, and swelling are not from the levaquin, otherwise those symptoms would have gone away after stopping the drug. No one seems to be able to figure it all out. Lab tests so far are negative for gout. Go figure.

Hey ladies... so I've just been to 2 doctors in the past few days. About my problems... well, the one jackass doctor is treating me for Depression, which I sort of disagree with.. he would not take my opinion about MYself. The gyno said that there's a really small percentage, like less than 1%, of patients who experience problems with sleeping while taking ANY birth control pill. That guy's an ass, too. I'm not trying to offend anybody, but these doctors, especially male docs, do not understand anything a woman goes through. They know it through their textbooks. And the gyno man actually had to get his Encyclopedia of Birth Control book out to look the information up. That was a waste of a copay. I could've done the exact same thing...and what he told me was what I already knew. He would not let me speak, not explain to him what the other doc told me... And after waiting almost 2 hours to see him, I was pretty much furious last night... and well, did not get much sleep again from it. So, yeah, I guess it's Depression time. And the doc I saw today, who prescribed me meds for it, gave me Lexapro...and one of the occurring side effects, a major one, is sleeplessness/restlessness. Go figure. My advice would be to see a female doctor...someone you trust, someone you can rely on for answers. And try to speak up when you have that chance to. I tried but was unsuccessful. I really don't think I have Depression, but I'm gonna have to see how these new meds work. Good luck, everyone. Keep in touch.

I just wanted to let everyone know that I just came from an eye doctor/surgeon. I have had 2 opthamalic migraines where I have visual field abnomalities. Everything was fine and the first thing he asked me was if I was on a new birth control. Go figure. I take an antidrpessant/anitanxiety and have had worse anxiety and depression over the last month and now these migraine things. I am officially going off of Yasmine. Hey, my friend and I both stopped being able to drink coffee (each started Yasmine at different times) after starting Yasmine?

thanks. AM

Doc gave me this drug for a nasty sinus infection. I was supposed to take 2 a day for l4 days. Today is day 7 and I have stopped taking it.

I am battling red, itchy eyes, flaming, itchy areas between my toes and it is starting between my fingers. My lips are numb and I just noticed my baby toes are swollen (go figure).

I've taken an antihistamine and quite frankly, I'm nervous. On top of all that mess, when I woke up with red eyes, I assumed it was pink eye b/c I teach preschool. It was Sat., so the doc called me in antibiotic eye drops, polymixin. The nurse at the BC/BS 24 hour help line said it contains some of the same ingredients as the sulfameth. Never again!

I am 42 and started BP treatment almost three months ago, I thought that I was just having side effects from the Flue shot, but now the Dr. feels that it is side effects from the Lisiniprol 10mg. My joints ache from head to toe, Cough, fever, sore throat and infamous cough. Oh what a wonderful thing! I was so excited as the blood pressure went down and was at a normal level now I am afraid to start something new. yes we decided to go off the medecine "emediately" continue 5 days of BP check and go from there., Go figure find something that helps, and BAM Alergic.. good luck to all those out there hesitant to try something new,. then to have the side effects.. I pray that the side effects will go away now that I stopped taking it, especially the joint pains and muscle cramps.. I am not overweight and pretty active but this has made it hard to move especially stairs.. Good luck

AmyR-

I started Xanax a month ago and Paxil 2 days ago. You are NOT alone. I am dreading my daughter's 6th b-day party in 2 weeks. I was NEVER like this, I swear to it.

I saw the doc today (Sat) and he assured me that I won't be on paxil forever, this should only take a few months. He also wants me monitored by a counselor. No biggie but it is not easy with 2 kids to go from doc to doc.

I feel less anxiety lately. I find it so strange to have anxiety since I used to work in a very people-oriented field, getting up and speaking in front of 100 people was a once-a-week thing for me. My spells seem to hot me at 7 pm every night, go figure. Coincidence or not... that is the time I used to take my Yasmin tablet.

I am glad that you too sought help to get through this. It is NOT easy, I know.

Lisa- I am in the northeast USA.

Feel better everyone!

I have been on Toprol 50mg. for almost a year now. My hands are always cold as well as my feet. I find that I wake up at night and my hands feel as though they have had the circulation cut off. Almost hurting. I also experience dizziness. But my B/P is great! Go figure!

I have been reading about this now for three hours, and it has made me feel both better and worse. I have been on antidepressants for over 10 years; I think I have been on Effexor for around 4 or 5. It has all but banished my panic attacks; I haven't had one in months now, and those that I have had over the past few years have been endurable to say the least. What worries me is the changes in my personality that have taken place over the past decade. I have been thinking that what I have been experiencing is my depression getting worse and that I have been spiraling down into severe mental illness. It's frightening to say out loud that you think you are going crazy, and so I have managed to keep a tenuous hold on reality and ever onward I go. I mentioned my symptoms to my doctor almost 2 years ago, and her response was to increase my dosage to 112.5 a day. This only served to confirm my belief that my mental health was indeed declining. After reading these posts I want to weep with joy that I am not crazy, it is this magic pill that I take every day. I too have avoided going off Effexor because of the side effects; it seems that it would be easier to withdraw from a serious heroin jones with less suffering. My side effects while being on the medication have been: loss of interest in everything in life that ever interested me, weight gain with loss of appetite (go figure), loss of sex drive and almost an aversion to sex or intimacy, fatigue, confusion, and an emotional withdrawal from those around me. The few times I have tried to go off Effexor (or missed a few days due to forgetfulness or lack of interest in going to the pharmacy to pick them up), my symptoms have been: that weird feeling of your brain having to catch up to your eyes, that feeling of being shocked or zapped, a descent into depression equaling the speed of an Olympic bobsled run, a feeling of hopelessness, headache, cotton mouth, diarrhea, mood swings so severe and radical that I frighten myself, irritability to the point of wanting to chew off my own fingers, tears over everything and anything, and restlessness. Reading over this, I'm thinking that being depressed was not so bad after all. It's kind of sick to wish for simple depression; it reinforces my belief that this medication is bad. I see that in another post someone is asking if there is any rumble of a class-action lawsuit; I would also be interested in this information. Thank you for sharing what this medication has done to all of you, and I hope that my post helps someone else with similar experiences.

Jules not to worry. Have you noticed that most of these guests try to appear as different people but they are one in the same?

I got what you meant and your right. The agencies that write the listed side-effects need to be corrected. I had 22 of the FDA listed rare side effects. Go figure.

When an ophthalmologist friend heard that my PCP prescribed 50 mg/day for PCV, he warned me to watch out for depression. I experienced the typical nightmares during my first weeks on this medication. I allso experienced such tiredness that just the thought of the effort it would take to move from one room to another was practically overwhelming. I asked my PCP for permission to reduce dosage to 25 mg and later to 12.5 mg (lowest available). I understand withdrawal from this drug, like HRT, must be reduced slowly (allow several weeks between changes in dosage). I continue to experience great bouts of sleepiness during the daytime and insomnia at night. Headaches, weight gain, pain shooting from ball of feet into all toes when I walk, giving me the sensation that all toes are on fire (like blisters), wanting to claw at my skin from a sensation of itching, and periodic blurred vision are on my list of complaints. I also thought I'd made it through hot flashes but now I find myself dealing with huge wringing wet series of flashes 24/7. I don't want to forget the shortness of breath that wakes me often during the night and the dizziness that periodically comes out of nowhere when I bend over to pick up something or move too quickly from a sitting position. I can't tell you the number of times I've brought these symptoms to the attention of my PCP and each time I'm given the impression that because I'm female in the final stages of menopause (10 years and counting), it's mostly all in my head. The only other items I knowingly place in my system are B-12 time release 1000/day due to removal of several inches of my ileum (the body's manufacturing source for B-12) which housed the remains of my shattered appendix and a periodic aspirin. Go figure!

Yea, ive taken this drug off and on for sinus infections for a couple of years. I wonder if this drug wasnt responsible in part for my sudden arythmia (untimely heart rhythm) and tachycardia (heartbeat over 100 bpm)... but on to the side effects ive gotten over the years. Basically ive noticed a feeling in my upper stomach like if i had almost acidic Gas or something, I get to feeling semi lightheaded and disoriented, Tired yet at the same time hyper which is odd.. like my mind is willing but my body isnt. Overall I feel malaise (feeling of slight illness)... think im dieing sometimes when on it! Heart Palpatations (when the heart is a little slow and then speeds up to catch up pumping a larger volume of blood through at once which is basically what it feels like... something hitting your heart from within). Anyway overall the drug is aweful... I took one today hoping it wouldnt hurt me too bad so i could get rid of my Ear Effusion(middle ear fluid), and my sinus blockage. I would suggest a reevaluation as well, I thought i was the only one getting all of these side effects for years until today. Go figure.

I started taking Lisinopril 20mg in early April. The week after I started, I began craving salty, vinegary foods (banana peppers in vinegar, pickles.) I also couldn't get enough V8/tomato juice. These are all foods I liked before, but I felt the need to consume them every day in huge quantities. I even drank the pickle juice sometimes! It took me a while to figure out the connection between starting the med and these cravings. I told my doc about it, but he didn't seem to think there was a connection. Well, I stopped Lisinopril a week ago and I haven't had any more cravings since then.

Also, I suffer from depression and I am almost positive that this medication exacerbated that condition. Certainly the fatigue that comes with taking Lisinopril didn't help things anyway. I also found the lightheadedness annoying, though it was livable.

Before Lisinopril, I was on Norvasc for five years and didn't experience any notable side effects. My blood pressure was always normal on Norvasc, whereas the Lisinopril lowered it to low normal (enough that I felt lightheaded.) Interestingly enough, my BP has been normal since I stopped Lisinopril last week. Go figure.

This medication and my body DID NOT get along. I won't be taking it again and I can't wait until the poison is completely out of my body!

I have been using Yasmin since September when I had to have a ovarian cystectomy due to a burst cyst. I thought that I was crazy until I came across this site. I have been having some random side effects that had never occured before with any other BCP that I have used.

Panic attacks at random times for no reason
Inability to concentrate at times
Discharge from my nipples, but no growth... go figure.
Hair in the most random places
I am extreamly tired all of the time
Weight gain
Swelling of my feet and hands
Bad Acne and i have never had even a little bit before
I am always sick to my stomach

I kept on wondering in the back of my head about Yasmin, but my doctor said that it was stress. Maybe I will give him the link to this site so that he fully understands the negative side effects of this pill. Thank you to all of you ladies who took the time to help educate me and make me realise that I am not alone.

at 1st it worked good then it made me angry & vilant then depressed then i tried 2 commit suicide so iflushed tha rest down tha toilet then i found out on tha tv that my state was tryin 2 ban tha med cuz it was tha leading med for teen suicide well im 19 go figure `1 good thing i didnt experience any withdrawls in my opinion no offense 2 nebody i think its tha worst med for deppression on tha market
