I am noticing hair loss. I was on 150mg of XL for a year and then I was on 300mg for 6 months to deal with situational depression that my 150mg dose was not enough for. I lost more weight (because I had no appetite at all) but then slowly got used to the new dose. I have been confused sometimes and fuzzy brained. Often someone can say something to me and I don't even hear them. I have significant memory loss and trouble focusing on 2 things at once. If a radio or TV is on, I can't carry a conversation... even if i am looking directly at the person I am talking to. I have reduced back to 150mg but I am still having these side effects. I just thought I was getting loopy from having been on so many different drugs continually for 6 years. I do love having energy with Welbutrin and losing all excess weight I had but I can't stand losing my hair.

I had 2 kenalog injection in my sacroiliac joints. I had these injections within 2 weeks of each other. I had them done because I suffer from a chronic back pain, had had a spinal fusion and within 4 months began suffering unbearable pain in my hip and leg,it felt as though my hip was dislocated.
The side effects I have suffered are as follow: extreme hunger,weight gain, puffiness in my face and stomach, excessive hair growth on my face. The wierd part of the excessive facial hair is that before I had these injections done I always left handfuls of hair in the shower and when I put hair products in my hair, since the injections I hardly lose a single strand of hair.I also had severe night sweats,mood swings, and I have yet to get my period since I had the injections.
Above all of this I also suffered steroid withdrawal. Like I said I has these 2 injections within 2 weeks of the other. Abpput 3 weeks after the last injection I began to have a creepy crawly feeling in my arms, cold sweats, and vomiting. I called my Dr who said it was withdrawal from the steroids. I couldnt believe this. I did some research online . I discovered that this does happen if you have more than one injection within 3 weeks. I guess it does make sense because when you take oral steroids you are almost always given a taper pack. You are weened off of them so that you don't go into withdrawal. With an injection obviously you can not be weened but if you have the injections too close together, withdrawal can happen.
The only advise I have is that if you can wait to have your injections more than 3 weeks apart...do it because the withdrawal is miserable.

i'm 21 and have taken Yasmin since i was 15 to control horrible horrible cramps. i have been so pleased with the Yasmin, it totally made my cramping go down a lot. i stopped taking the pill in june when my insurance stopped covering it. i also wanted to see if my cramps had changed at all while i was off. so i've been off the pill for about 4 months and for the past 3 weeks i've had these weird red spots on my scalp (kind of like pimples - but my scalp has never been oily). i've changed all my hair products and they wont go away. my mom suggested maybe it was hormone related. has anyone else had symptoms like this coming off the pill? or ever?

hello friends, I had the Mirena put in 08/08 and shortly there after started feeling depressed, moody and tired and started shedding my hair. Lost my mom about 2 months later so I chalked these symptoms up to that. then I got scalp psoriasis, and have no family history of psoriasis period, even though it is supposed to be genetic. I finally found this sight 3 months ago, and had it removed promptly. Wanted to let you all know I am feeling a lot more normal now. The only thing that is not going away is the scalp psoriasis and the hair shedding......I swear I am going bald. Can anyone tell me when their hair stopped falling out and/or if anyone else has had psoriasis with this beast as well? Thank you and good luck to everyone who has this.
