Grouchy symptoms and conditions

I started the Yaz . First BC ever for me , Im 38. I did try the Nuva Ring once but stopped after 2 weeks because of a burning sensation down there. So, not ever searching symptoms, side effects on line ever for any BC I decided to take this Yaz , recommended by my doctor explaining if I had PMS , Yaz may ease that as well. Ok, sounds great. Also I was told Yaz had a diuretic in it too , which was a plus to me because I tend to hold water , bloat a lot during the month. So, Im happy go lucky thinking wow, this is great. My face cleared up , I felt the bloat going away, Boy was I in for a surprise !
The second month of a pack is when I went down hill and fast ! Depression hit me so fast out of no where...I never had a clue a BC could do this ! I started having bad dreams every night. Bad headaches. Like the kind where I was holding my hand to my head constantly. Emotional. Snappy , grouchy. Irritated , impatient with my boys. I felt like ripping my hair out. Weird I was.....then is when I stared doing research online.
This is so sad to me , now I think of all the sweet young girls getting on these and feeling these side effects and not even knowing it is the BC. I have boys but I would be devastated if I had a daughter and had to worry about preventing pregnancy. I stopped taking them and had the Essure done to avoid ever ever having hormones in me again. I am so so sorry for the millions of women who have been on BC and had to suffer from this. It is not you , you cant help be witchy....it is the BIRTH Control !!

Hey, I cycle, so who knows if some of this is the meds or the BP roller coaster..

What I do know:

• Memory Loss ***
• Rash like Poison Oak if I increase too quickly *12.5 mg
• Heart Racing + Mind Racing (part of all this right)

GROUCHY at work regardless of meds.

I have been on Zoloft for about 8 months. I began taking it for anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and eating issues. Since I have been on it, my eating issues have gotten a lot worse. I began binging, something I've never done before. I have racing thoughts and feel like I am just floating through life. My weight has gone from about 120 to 155. I am not happy, and am considering coming off of the medication. Has anyone else noticed they have not been able to control their eating while on Zoloft? However, my anxiety did subside.

I was given prednisone for the second time this year having never taken it.
1st time was for an allergic reaction to sulfa,
thought I was having a heart attack a couple of hours after it kicked in.
(I am 28)
Lost so much strength, used to go out & do 10-15 chin-ups, couldn't get to 1.
Grouchy, weepy.
That was in August.
I November (1 week before thanksgiving) I got sick with upper respiratory, same cold as rest of my family, but it knocked me out. Doctor figured it was cause of the 5-8 cigarettes i smoked at the time,
prescribed antibiotic.
Flash to 2 weeks before Christmas:
Laying on couch, unable to breath, went to doc, given antibiotic, inhaler, and Prednisone:
2 pills 2x's a day for 1st three days, then 2 pills 1x a day next three days.
I think they where 20 mg?
I was in very bad shape,
But NOW
I had tried to give up those last few cigarettes I had held on to, since I had gotten so sick.
I had insomnia, nausia, insatiable appetite, sweating, fuzzy upper lip ( i am female)
gained 15 pounds, depression, couldn't even shower unless I dragged myself through it, quit quitting smoking to try to alleviate the depression, but this is unlike anything I have ever felt.
Oh, and the reason I am up so late,
my right thigh feels like it is dying from the inside out.
It started the day after starting the meds, that was December 21st. It is now January 3, and it won't stop. I am so worn out from it.
I can't sleep.
It's like a cramp that never ever ends, but it's down in the bone.
My 3 yr old daughter put her weight against it and I screamed.
It seems like it is walnut sized, with pain radiating out from it.
I thought I might have a blood clot, my husband brought me Aspirin tonight in bed, and now I just cannot sleep,
it doesn't just hurt, it is hurting to distraction.
I feel out of my mind,
and so old.
My stomach had been solid abs a few months ago, I worked so hard on them, now, I do not have the strength to lift a jug of milk, and my tummy looks more like pizza dough.
I am 5'6" and went from 118 lbs to 135, right now back down to 127 as I cannot eat even though I am starving, I just can't.
But I am really scared about this leg pain.
I swear there is something in there, and at night I fear it coming loose in my sleep and killing me. Mind you, I am not sitting here imagining it, i am feeling this pain in what little sleep I am getting, and the dreams start.
I was on it a short time, but it was 2 times this year, within 6 months, do you guys think it is the reason?
any thing you think would help. Thanks

I have been taking Vytorin for about 10 weeks. During this time, I have experienced aches and pain in my neck to the point of tears. Hands get numb, lower back, now....knees, joints, fingers, hips, EVERYTHING HURTS. At first I thought it was due to the fact that I just started work (bar tender/food server) which requires a lot of lifting, reaching, stretching etc. As far as I know all that motion would make me healthier. Right? Common sense tells me......hmmmmm if I've been working for a month and I still HURT and it's getting worse....what the????? The Dr who prescribed the Vytorin then suggested that I go to physical therapy; The PT told me that I had strains in my back from working. What the? Then I'm told that I'm experiencing aches and pains because I'm in recovery????? What the????? I'm in so much pain when I wake up, my hands are stiff, I can hardly move my entire body. This is like it's a drug induced fibromyalgia. I'd rather go home to the Lord from high cholesterol than live with this pain. Today I am stopping the Vytorin. I had one of those AH HA moments that was posted on this site. It's really sad that I had to do the research on what has been the cause of my aches and pains; when the first thing any doctor asks.....what medications are you taking? BOLD LETTERS......VYTORIN!!! I'm going to take a nap, try to rest the next two days off work being that I have a doctor's excuse to do so after marching myself to the medical facility where I live and BEING ANGRY and letting them know........I should not have to have had to diagnose myself. WE ALL KNOW OUR BODIES....I kept insisting that I hurt so bad and it wasn't from "work" or being in "recovery". So, I certainly can relate to all the posts. I'm going to be 50 on 12/19 and I feel as if I'm 80. Thank God (lol) I "look good". A sense of humor goes a long way......but it's so hard to not be a little grouchy when we hurt, right? You are all in my prayers.

I RECENTLY WROTE A REVIEW AFTER BEING ON NUVARING FOR 9 MONTHS. IM COMING BACK TO UPDATE. I HAVE BEEN OFF OF IT FOR 3 WEEKS NOW. I FEEL GREAT NOW!! IM NOT TIRED ANYMORE! IM NOT AS MEAN AND GROUCHY AS I WAS! I LOST ALL MY WEIGHT FROM BEING SO BLOATED! & FOR THE 1ST TIME IN 9 MONTHS IM ACTUALLY ENJOYING SEX AGAIN!! I'D ADVISE ANYONE WITH PROBLEMS TO TAKE IT OUT IF YOU WANT YOU LIFE BACK, I DID & IM SOO HAPPY NOW!

I have been on Advair for 7 days and it has been a week from hell. I can't sleep. I am constantly cramping, my feet itches...I have a terrible vigina odor.....restlessness, moodswings, super grouchy. I go go doctor of Wednesday and am getting off this this.

I was taking prednisone for breathing difficulties. It worked miracles on that but i became very anxious and grouchy and my legs and ankles retained a ton of fluid.

I had been taking Yasmin for 3 years. I didn't really notice any side effects, but in the last year I started to get really grouchy and mad all the time. Also I had very little sex drive when I started taking them. I have only gained about 7lbs in those three years. I just came off Yasmin July 14 in hopes of becoming pregnant, even if I don't become pregnant I hope I will stop being so moody since I am off of them. Also my sex drive has came back in just 2 weeks after stopping. If you are trying to decide on a bc pill Yasmin isn't that bad, especially if you compare them to other pills.

Grouchy, mean and I gained weight. The seizures were kept under control but i did have frequent headaches.

highly addictive! lots of constipations, works good sometimes, and other times, make you moody! coming off of the pills after taking them for a long time make you feel horrible. achy body, and grouchy attitude

My bottle said not to stay in the sun or you could get a rash. I'm taking it for bronchitis/pnuemonia... I have taken it for three days and have a had a horrid, ongoing headache, have been grouchy, lack of appetite, and a little disoriented. I hate this medication and will NEVER take it again. I'm not sick anymore--but I feel awful, does that make sense?

I have been taking ultracet for a year now,( off and on) and it makes me feel alive, everything is clearer I'm more socialable, I have more energy. It was precribed to me for back pain but it helps with other pains I suffer from also.
I know that it's wrong to take it just to feel " normal " but to me it's better than any anti depression drug I've ever taken.
The side effects; when I'm " coming down "from them I get grouchy, and I start getting depressed because I like the way they make me feel and now that feeling is waring off. I could take another one but I limit myself to 2-3 a day max
Is it so wrong to want to feel like a " normal " person, to feel full of energy, to enjoy talking to people, to want to do things beside sitting on the couch all day watching mindless TV.
When I stop taking Ultracet I have a hard time sleeping, my body feels old, I feel exhausted, and I don't feel like doing anything.

my 18 year old son is on adderall 15 mg once a day and i have noticed that he is really grouchy and at times he gets depressed is that normal.

Hi. I've been on Yasmin for about 6 months now. I was placed on it to help with the nasty side-effects of PCOS. A blessing it has been for my acne and those icky little chin hairs that I was starting to get because of the PCOS.

But I was extremely hessitant to be on a pill again after taking a 8 + year break from them. I can't tolerate all the extra hormones very well and my husband told me that if I'd ever go back on them, he'd rather live in Antartica than with me, because I had a tendency to become a SUPER EMOTIONAL B*$@# while I was one them. (Back then I tried every brand out there to try and supress my ovairan cysts but with no luck) Finally I choose to go off the pills on my own and felt great!!!

Because I have PCOS I don't ovulate regularly and both of my sons were concieved with the help of Clomind. But since I hadn't had a "real" period in over 2 years after my second son was born, I went to a reproductive endocronologist who reccommended Yasmin. Ok, I reluctantly went on it. My periods have never been heavier or with more cramps in my entire life. (Not to be gross, but a super-plus tampon and a night-time maxi pad aren't usually enough protection.) And having a period that lasts 7-9 days every month is shocking for someone like me who normally doesn't have that many days of a period in an entire year.

Yasmin was great at first, cleared up my skin, I even lost 10 pounds. But I've really noticed in the last few months my anxiety level has climbed to an all-time high! I can't sleep, I'm anxious all the time (now I'm on Xanax to "help on those days when I need it most".) Well, I took a 1/2 pill the other day and won't be taking any more of those....I felt so out-of-sorts and ugh! It just wasn't a good thing! After reading these posts, I'm beginning to think it might be the Yasmin.

I've had terrible headaches - worse than any migraine I've ever suffered through. I'm grouchy with my sons, who really are the best behaving kids I've ever met for their ages (and while I may be a bit prejuiced, I have taught their age groups for many many years). My sex drive has hit an all time low and now I've developed some weird rash on my neck, chest and arms.

I'm fair skined and always use sunblock, but I went to the beach last weekend...broke out with the rash on my neck and chest...I even went to the doctor for it. No explainantion was given. I went outside yesterday in the sun again...rash got worse on my neck and chest and is now on my arms. I've never had anything like this before, but I have noticed my skin and my hair is much drier since I've been on Yasmin.

Has anyone else had this kind of reaction from being on this when they were in the sun?

Thanks for reading this. In the morning I'm making an appt. with my OBGYN and seeing if I can try something else - after reading your posts I don't think I want to be on this stuff any longer!

take care!

A really annoying effect from that crap is when I'm not on it, I feel very aggravated at every little thing, and just inside I feel grouchy. But when I get some in me, I feel very happy, and everything is alright. The problem is you have to have it everyday and that turns into severe addiction, and I really hate that word, just like smoking. Is this a usual effect for everyone, what is the chemical doing this? Also how long does the sickness of morphine last for if you go off it?

I started taking Levaquin three days ago for a chest infection and felt better within the first day and a half. Yesterday morning my arm hurt as if I had a major work-out and wasn't careful. Then last night my whole body started aching. This morning the pain is still very uncomfortable, I have the shakes and I am considering stopping the treatment. People have observed that I am "cranky" and "grouchy".

I found it interesting that I am not the only one to experience these same symptoms with Levaquin!!!!! I wonder if they did enough testing...

I took my first prescribed dose, and it felt like I drank 20 cups of coffee, and the effects lasted all night and the next morning! It also made me enormously irritable and grouchy, not to mention I did NOT get one minute of sleep all night, and I took my first and only dose at 6 pm, early evening. What is worse is that my doctor basically called me a liar by stating he's never heard of that happening when I told him about my reaction. He also believes this drug is better and safer then hydrocodone! He said that ultracet is not narcotic, which is not the information I've found out about it.

I took an ultracet for pain aroind 3:45 yesterday. I was up all night and today I feel like I have been ran over by a truck. I am very fatigued, grouchy, emotional. If I didn't have a hysterectomy three years ago I would think I was having a bad case of PMS. I have cried over petty stuff all day today. I am clearly not myself. My Dr.also told me it was non addictive and not a narcotic. I believe Ultracet could indeed become addicting as it gives one a very nice feeling of uphoria much like that of a narcotic.
