I'm fed up. About 4 years ago I had a complete thyroidectomy and OMG my life has been a mess ever since, Yes, I needed the gland removed (it was a goiter pressing on my air way and esophagus), it needed to come out but OMG what a nightmare. Synthroid is a drug I can't figure out. I am convinced that this has ruined my life. I have developed chronic/non-stop head pain and pressure. My B.P. has gone up and now I'm on B.P. medicine. (still have severe head pain). It just never leaves me. E.R. visits/hospital stays and on and on. They treat me like I'm a complete lunatic because they can't seem to find anything organically wrong with me. Ummm-it hurts(my head). I am starting with a new Doctor who is a D.O. rather than an M.D. and I am praying that he finds what the **** is causing my pain. I feel like crap. The T.S.H. is in normal range but I have learned that the T.S.H. is not everything (even though my thyroid is gone). The isiots for lack od better description, are just too lazy to go the extra minute to find out what is wrong here. I just want to be able to function and this head pain will not let me do that. It is a nightmare and I have nothing but sympathy and empathy for anyone who suffers with pain on a daily basis.

The only constant is the Synthroid. Maybe I can't take this stuff. It has to be that my body just can't tolerate it and need something else or T3 added (I don't know). I just pray that this new doc can figure it out because I feel so helpless with this. My pain is always there squeezing and pressing. It is horrible. Maybe Synthroid is the culprit. Good luck to everyone.

After 6 out of 10 pills taken I have severe head pain, severe neck pain, weak, dizzy, panic attack, dry mouth, etc. Sinusitis was the diagnosis and I was so dehydrated I had 2 bags of IV. I am now off but still have problems. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND TO ANYONE. I hope I heal completely and quickly

I have been using neurontin after a fall (5yrs ago) which left me with extreme back, neck and head pain. I really couldn't stand the way it made me feel because they also had me on Motrin, as well a host of other pain relievers, did some epidural & lumbar injections, etc. So I took it less frequently than was origibally prescribed. I have been noticing that my teeth often hurt and they definitely have been moving. Causes severe headaches and face pain. My bite is now off. Recently, I've been getting awful headaches compounded by a strong car sick/dizziness that lasts for days. My teeth, although no visible damage such as cavities, discolorization, are extremely sensitive and have moved so much that I often bite the sides of my mouth, etc. I've heard recently that neurontin sometimes cause mouth/teeth pain and such. Is it possible that this was all caused by the neurontin, and how do I correct it. Is it too late or will not taking it at all reverse the damage?

hiya all, silke,

today is the 6th day after my period and i feel awful.
i have had the worst pain in the back of my head and neck since my period has started till now (14 days), its really bad and i am starting to question myself that is it the pill that has caused this or is something else wrong with my brain/head.

i have been of the yasmin for about 4months and 2 weeks, my periods have been regular since coming of the yasmin.

the head pain was reall bad when i first stopped especially on my period but then it gradually began to get better every month but this period has been the worst, the pain will just not go away.

i went to my gp twice this week and he has prescribed me with a antidepressant called "amitriptyline hydrochloride" anyone heard of this??

he told me that it is not addictive but is used nowadays for the treatment of migraines. Im too scared to take this and dont think i will, i dont want no more problems or side effects.

my gp has also referred me to see a neurologist to check my head out. im so scared what if somethings wrong with my head.

Another problem ive had is focusing. anybody else had this problem?? i feel as though somethings wrong with my eyes.

please please reply if anybody else has suffered with this type of head/eye pain

silke i especially hope your doing fine after the good news you gave us last week. i hope that it wasnt too tough for you on your cycle or after it.

thankyou all and god bless you

I was recently prescribed Levaquin for a skin infection. I took a 500 mg. tablet each day for three days. After the third pill, I developed excrutiating head pain, pain in my lower back and hips, and pain in the chest area. I was off from work for two days. I stopped the medication and after five days, I'm still experiencing the effects of Levaquin. I will never, ever take this medication again.

Oh my GOD! I didn't think there were any side affects while taking wellbutrin . I'm taking it to quit smoking and it's working great for that! The problem is: when I masterbate or have sexual intercorse I get severe head pain. The kind of pain thats so intense you thick your going to die! My Dr. is sending me to have a MRI (cat scan) done on my head to check for a anuerisum. I'd rather smoke and be able to jerk off than continue with this stuff! BE CAREFULL!

I've been on paxil and elavil for 18 years. A year and a half ago I had a sharp pain in the right side of my head that turned into horrific head pain/facial spasms. I was put on 900 mgs 3 times daily of neurontin, it was the only thing that stopped the pain. Then I got a night bite, I wear to keep my teeth from grinding, I'm down to 100 mgs once a day. Now I'm taking it every other day and hope eventually to go completely off it. Angie

i been taken Lecaquin 500mg for 2 week i take my 7th dosag and i am expiring a rash, and two day after taken the 2 dosae i have been expiring sever head pain on my both just a little above the ear. I want to get of the med but my mother told me to keep takeing it because i only have 7 more for the med, but it has seem to help me. i argee with all of you that the FDA should take this medican off the market. But they won't because they seem to not care about all the side that have been reported. I think one death of a women should ring a bell To wake the FDA sleepers if that dose not do the trike then people should file site and sue them for casusing more pormels than helping them
