Heavy weight symptoms and conditions

I think no one should post within the first 3 months of starting the pill... it's not a miracle drug or magic. Your body has to adjust to the hormones and you're not going to find a pill that doesn't cause side effects within the first 3 months. I am about to start my 4th pack and I am curious to know if anyone else has experienced heavy weight gain that they can NOT lose =/

I HAVE BEEN ON TOPROL-XL FOR 2 YEARS. 25 MG. IN AM AND BLOOD PRESSURE WOULD FLUCTUATE UP TO 170/116 AND GO BACK DOWN TO 140/85. THEN WAS ALSO PUT ON NORVASC 25MG. IN PM. I ALSO AM HYPOTHYROID WITH HASHIMOTOS. MY SIDE AFFECTS HAVE BEEN EXTREME. SWEATING, HAVE TO CARRY A PAPER TOWEL OR SCARF TO WIPE SWEAT OFF, SPACED OUT, TIRED, FORGETFULNESS, RACING HEART, LEGS ANKLES SWOLLEN, THEY FEEL SO HEAVY, WEIGHT GAIN, EYES WATER, NOSE WILL HAVE NASAL DRIP, CONSTIPATED, SORE NECK, HEADACHES, THE LIST GOES ON. THIS SUMMER I WENT TO THERAPY FOR MY NECK, HAD ECHO AND WORE 24 HR. HEART HALTER, WHICH I HAVE FOUR EXTRA BEATS, WENT TO ENDRICONE DOCTOR WHO RAN TESTS FOR EVERYTHING, 24 HR. URINE, TESTS CAME BACK WITH TSH HIGH, EVERYTHING ELSE WAS NORMAL BUT FOR MY HEART EXTRA BEATS ENDR. AND FAMILY DOCTOR TOOK ME OFF NORVASC AND PUT ME ON TOPROL-XL 25MG IN PM ALSO AM. WELL FEELING LIKE I WAS READY TO GIVE IT ALL UP, LIKE I WAS DYING, I QUIT TAKING IT LAST NIGHT AND HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT THIS ALL YEAR, TRYING PEPTACE AND CELERY SEED EXTRACT. I FELT SO BAD THAT I KNOW IT COULD BE DANGEROUS TO QUIT THE TOPROL-XL LIKE THAT BUT I FELT LIKE MY HEART WAS GONNA BURST AND IT WAS GANNA TAKE ME OUT ANYWAY, AND DOCS. WOULDN'T LISTEN AND I HAVE BEEN IN TO THEM A LOT WITH ALL MY ISSUES. I AM 56 AND HAVE ALWAYS BEEN ACTIVE, OUTDOORS TYPE PERSON. I WALK 2 MILES ON TREADMILL EVERYDAY AND 30 MIN. OF TAE-BO EXERCISE. I WORK 5 DAYS A WEEK AND HAVE LOTS TO DO AT HOME. THEY TRIED TO PUT ME ON CYMBALTA, LEXAPRO, ELIVOIR FOR THEY SAID WHEN YOU FEEL THAT BAD YOU CAN GET DEPRESSED, I TOLD THEM NO, I AM NOT ADDING ANY MEDS. KNOWING I WOULD GET WORSE. PEOPLE AT WORK, MY FAMILY WILL SAY YOU DON'T LOOK LIKE YOU FEEL GOOD OR IS SOMETHING WRONG, HOW COMPLICATED IT WOULD BE TO EXPLAIN. SO I AM LISTENING TO MY BODY CAUSE FEELING THAT BAD ISN'T RIGHT SO I HOPE THIS WORKS. I COULN'T FEEL ANY WORSE ANYWAY. SO GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL AND ALL OF US ARE UNIQUE TO FIND WHAT MIGHT WORK FOR US, AND MOST THOSE PRESCRIPTIONS ARE FOR ONE THING AND THEN TRIGGER OFF OTHER THINGS THEN YOU GOTTA TAKE ANOTHER MED. FOR THAT. I AM GLAD TO FIND THIS SITE.

I have taken this drug, Lisinopril, for only 3 days straight. On the third day, I began to have sweats and became very weak and exhausted. I felt as if I had a heavy weight upon my chest that prevented me from getting the oxygen, I felt I needed, but couldn't get through normal breath. I became faint and my vision was slightly blurred. I also felt my feet as being quite cold during the night, although, my partner said, that my body temperature felt normal. I'm not taking this medication as of today. I feel normal this morning, and want to continue to do so. I have previously been able to bring down my High Blood pressure by drinking fresh juices, doing a detox diet with the eating of fresh fruit and veggies, doing warm infrared saunas for a few days to bring my high blood pressure down naturally. Taking this medication was an experiment, and I will take the safer, more natural way to control my high blood pressure.

Ok. This is crazy. My doctor is a VERY good doctor, and has denied my charges against the Mirena. I had not looked into the reported side effects when I complained to my doctor. I have had my Mirena since 2004. No problems at all until about 3 months ago. (maybe longer than that adding the mood swings, loss of libido since the birth of our last son, vaginal irritation, dryness, yeast infections that I never had before the IUD, breast tenderness, joint pain, recent bleeding that lasted a month) I began having heart palpataions so severe that I thought I was having panic attacks. Like a heavy weight being laid upon my chest, too small of an area for my heart to be able to properly beat, loss of breath, loss of sleep (causing me to take tylenol pm to be able to rest). I went to the doctor, and was concerned about the symptoms. She was alarmed, she has known me over 5 years, and I have been in her office only a handful of times. She ran an ekg, did chest x-rays, and found nothing. She sent me on to the cardiologist to have blood work and an echo. They found nothing. I asked her about the possibility of the Mirena being the problem. She thought it was doubtful, but wants to look at it during an exam anyway. My hubby and I are considering having it removed. We can't figure out what other problem there would be. Please email me if anyone has had symptoms similar! I am VERY concerned.

I have been on Aciphex for 8 days. Last night I couldn't sleep because I was so bloated that my stomach was so tight and it looked like I was pregnant. I also had alot of chest pain. It was very difficult to breath. It felt like a heavy weight on my chest. I had the same results from Prontix. The only thing different was my throat didn't swell. I was immediately taken off of Prontix because my doctor said it was an allergic reaction. Of course I stopped the Aciphex because I know how bad it can get. I would recommend if anyone is having any type of side effect to call their doctor. Better safe than sorry. As for me I am not trying another medication. Two times of a bad reaction is more than enough! I'd rather not take anything.

I took Levaquin for a pretty severe case of pneumonia. It's hard to say whether I could initially distinguish side effects from the 103, coughing fits, wheezing, and tremendous body aches and fatigue -- interestingly, I thought the body hangover (2 days after the fever was gone) was from the heavy-weight cough medicine. No material impact once the 10 days of meds were complete.

Just got back on Levaquin to combat what felt like a sinus infection - Dr. did not want it turning back into pneumonia like last month 37 year old, I feel like I'm 70!

I stopped taking the Levaquin after 2 days - something was definitely not right this time around:

My sinuses feel better BUT:
My hands are killing me - the bones hurt!
My throat it as dry as the desert
Headaches that come and go
Sore calf leg muscles
Didn't sleep the first or second nights very much at all
Tightness breathing or some kind of chest discomfort - know that it's not a heart attack

I dug the prescription card out of the garbage and looked at the possible side effects - holy crap, it still hurts when I type .. kind of like I just bowled about 60 games in a row with a ball that had holes that were too small. Got to go back to fix this cough again, but from now on, no Levaquin - I don't feel quite right yet after 2 days off.
