My doctor put me on Lisinopril (10 mg) a week ago. On the third day, I felt fatigue, had a cough, entire body soreness, felt feverish, with flu symptoms. My doctor told me to stop taking it for three or four days and start it up again. I did. I felt better, especially on my forth day. I started it up again on a Monday and still felt okay, but the fatigue returned. Today, which is Saturday, I woke up feeling great. I didn't take the Lisinopril until noon time and from then on I have felt very tired. I laid down for six hours, slept two. I still have the cough and have decided to take the Lisinopril at night so that I may sleep better. I go back to my doctor the 11th of October and will let you all know how that turned out.

Dear Jen
My Thyroid elevated quite high when I came off the Yaz I thought I was having heart attack
I had it last checked a month and half ago and it was 0.89
I dont know I too was wondering where it is at now
Maybe should have it checked again
Wish I understood what is making us all feel this way
Hormones?
Thyroid?
Stress?Anxiety?
Depression?
Which is it what is it???
I have tried so much
Just got adrenal support vitamins today and whole foods B6
Trying the vitamins now
Cant fall asleep on my own is so terrible
Does anyone else have insomnia or the problem where you cant fall asleep
Dejay had it the same as me but the Lexapro I believe made her gain her sleep back.
Is anyone else out there taking antidepressants and it helped alot
Dejay was a mess and the Lexapro has her out everyday and functioning pretty well and sleeping
I tried Lexapro for 4 weeks and it nearly killed me
My doctor wants me to try Celexa a mild version thinks it would help alot but Iam terrified
Anyone know?

i'm male 30, had asthma since i was 2, tried about every inhaler and pill you can think of. anyway march 2006, started taking advair, it helped alot,i was able to play sports again and even outlast alot of people, the only thing was it made weak in the strength department and my balance was off.
i also expreienced what alot of people here are saying, about weight gain, moon face, acid reflux, not wanting meat, acne, hoarsness, sinus infection, belly getting bigger.
i got off it about 2 months ago in june due to a back injury, i believe the advair caused me to get the back injury.
the back is better now, but since being off advair i can't walk up stairs without taking a break. but my skin is alot better and i lost 10-15 pounds just being off of advair.
right now i'm trying to find an alternative, so far vitamins are helping a little bit.

I was given Sulfameth along w/ Flagyl for what my Dr. thought was diverticulitis. The pain (diverticulitis) went away by the fourth day of meds but on the fifth day I had other things going on. I thought I had the flu. I kept getting extremely hot (but didn't have a fever), then cold chills. My lower back ached terrible along w/ a major headache and I had never been so nausious in my life w/o vomitting. I couldn't even look at food or even sip water w/o feeling extremely ill. I was constipated as well. I kept making excuses for it all saying I must have the flu instead of suspecting the drugs I was on. On the 8th day I returned to the doctor and by now I was completely broke out and my face, ears and back of my upper arms felt like they were on fire. He knew immediately that it was a reaction to this drug! He advised me to stop taking both meds I was prescribed but didn't offer me any options for relief from the burning. I found spraying Solarcaine on my arms helped alot. I feel for everyone who has ever experienced this type or any type of reaction and for those who haven't...may you never have to.

ive been taking verapamil 80mg for a few months for my cluster headaches and they have helped alot. the only thing is im so so tired all day. i take 3 in the morning and 3 after dinner. i take magnesium 500 so i dont get constipated and he also has me taking melatonin at night. i just saw the doc and he said when i go three weeks without a cluster to go to 4 verapamils a day and then weed myself off of them for good. cant wait for that day!

HELLO TO EVERYONE: MY FIRST PILL WAS FEMCON FE.. IT WAS HORRIBLE.. GOT ME MOOD SWINGS AND MAJOR DEPRESSION.. I MEAN RAISE UR VOICE AT ME A BIT AND IT WAS ALL TEARS.. BUT NOW I TRIED LOESTRIN AND IT HAS HELPED ALOT.. MADE PERIODS FROM THREE WEEKS TO FIVE DAYS AND ALOT LESS FLOW.. ALSO I HAVE READ BEFORE ON OTHER SITES THAT IT IS COMMON TO NOT HAVE A PERIOD AT ALL.. MANY WOMEN HAVE HAD THAT AND WERE NOT PREGNANT.. SO DONT GET SO SCARED. JUST CHECK IT OUT. BUT REMEMBER THIS EVERYONE.. ALL PILLS WILL HAVE DIFFERENT EFFECT ON DIFFERENT PEOPLE.. JUST TRY MORE THAN ONE PILL TO FIND THE RIGHT ONE FOR U..
