Headache and dizziness symptoms and conditions

Hi everyone, I have been on Yasmin for 3 years and I found it compared to the other pills I have been on not to bad. I did have the occasional mood swings but it was worse on other types of pills.

However I have as of last week decided to go off it as my partner and I are trying to have a baby! Coming off Yasmin I have found much harder all last week I was in tears over nothing, and the last three days I have had a server headache and dizziness. I assume these will go over time and ill let you know.

I was on a Prednisone taper for 7 days (bronchitis). I have been off for 16 days now. I am still suffering from BAD headaches, head pressure and dizziness (also racing heart) - off and on??? Does anyone know how long it takes to get this stuff out of your system? My first day after finishing it my headache and dizziness got so severe that I threw up 7 times over the next 24 hours?

Is it something that I am eating or drinking that is 'reactiviting' the side effects of the Prednisone? I hate this.

Thank you.

I had a copper wire IUD, but after having an ectopic pregnancy, likely caused by it, I had it removed. I tried condoms for a short while, but they are so inconvenient, so I went to the NuvaRing. I put in the NuvaRing and felt fine the first day, but by day two I started experiencing pain behind my knees, dizziness, headache, pain in my eyes, spaciness, nausea, lack of appetite, and weakness throughout my body. I didn't have any mood swings, in fact I felt quite good, mentally. However, by day three I couldn’t stand the headache and dizziness and took out the NuvaRing. I was skeptical in the first place to use a hormonal birth control, and this confirmed it. If any one has a suggestion for a non-hormonal birth control form that is convenient and safe, let me know.

I had been taking Zocor for 10 days when I woke up in the night with heart palpitations, wobbly legs, a severe headache and dizziness. Shortly afterwards, my legs began to twitch on their own and cramped up. This happened several nights in a row. Then the twitching spread into my arms and neck. My muscles became very sore, then weak to the point where I couldn't stand up long enough to take a shower or get out of bed without help. Thankfully after being off of Zocor for 3 weeks I am getting some of my strength back, but I am plagued with a constant headache and dizziness, sometimes nausea and vomiting. Tests for muscle enzymes, liver damage, etc. have all come back with normal results. I am 21 years old and Zocor has made me feel about 75. Like others on this site my doctor did not think the problems had anything to do with the Zocor, but helpfully suggested I try incorporating more fat into my diet.

Can anyone tell me from experience how long I can expect these side effects to last? I've been out of work for 3 weeks and can't go back until I stop feeling dizzy and can stand up/walk for a full 8 hours.

After suffering severe reaction to a penicillin based antibiotic, my doctor switched me to Levaquin. Luckily I purchased only 4 days worth. The second night, I had excrutiating pain in my left knee. I took one more dose of Levaquin and then reread the warnings. After only 3 doses, I cannot walk for the pain and swelling in my left knee, hip, ankel, shoulder etc. It is spreading to the right side as well. I have a headache and dizziness. I assumed much like the diarrea reaction from the first antibiotic, that the symptoms would go away as the drug left my body. I am now concerned that they may linger indeffinately. What is the average time frame for the swelling, painful, joint reaction?

i been on this medcine for only 2 week i am experincing headache and dizziness ,hip and knee pain i fell like i 75 year i am only 49 lost of energy i have not experince no cough yet but mild chest pain

Was taking Sudafed for about 5 days for a nasel infection, along with Nasonex, and Calrenex. Though in retrospect, this was probably too much medication. But the day after I started taking this, I immedietly began to get feelings of anxiety, worry, fear, nausea, headache and dizziness. After 5 days of this hell, I stopped taking all medications, and probably never take Sudafed again. It has been about 2 days since I stopped taking the meds. and I am still recovering from their harmful effects. I dont know which is worse, having the nasel infection or dealing with the side effects of the drugs. I still have nausea, and slight head pressure.
