Hes symptoms and conditions

I made an appointment today to see whats going on.I have been on yaz for about 3 weeks..yes i too have all the same symptoms however i also have a horrible pain right in between my breast..it feels like someone is standing on me.i wake in the night in tears cause i cant roll over i cant pick my 3 kids up cause the pain is always there.... maybe its something else but at the same time im thinking it might be this pill.. as of today im off it.. and when i find out what my doctor says i will let everyone know.. i personally think out of the blue im seeing all these commercials on this pill and doctors are pushing it like crazy so im feeling a little like a ginny puig and no one will tell us this pill is causing all this crap in our lives! so im off to
the docs to see whats hes going to say not too hopeful...

My husband has been prescribed Meprozine for a back injury, and since he has been on it I have notice a major difference in his moods, he is edgy, and temperamental. He has started yelling at my daughter for stupid kid stuff and arguing with me over small things and we never argue. He has had weird dreams and twitches in his sleep. When he is on the medication he doesn't seem like the man I married and when he is off its like hes going through withdrawals and trying to go un-noticed. He is also on Soma and Zanaflex. I don't know what to do. Im worried for him. He is also becoming depressed, and has had a severe migraine for 3 weeks now. He wont listen to me when I tell him not to take it. I would not recommend this medication to anyone, especially if they want to keep their relationship.

My son is 11yrs old. He's been on singulair for 7days now. Today he woke up with this rash on his face and alittle on his arms. Anyone know of these side effects. I am thinking of taking him off after reading this site.

I received a Kenalog injection in December '06 to provide relief from an allergic reaction. My doctor did NOT inform me of any possible side effects other than drowsiness. Two months later a small dipple formed where the shot was given. I had no idea what it was and just assumed it was a part of getting older (I'm 30). When it began to get deeper, I became extremely worried. It has now been 6 months and the dimple has turned into a very large indentation. I still did not put two and two together and did not think it could have been caused by the steroid injuection. I visited my doctor, the same one who administered the shot in December, to find out what this could possibly be. He said he had no idea!! And even suggested it could be cancer!!!! I came home upset, obviously, thinking I was very sick, possibly even dying!! My sister did some research and found this site, and I am so relieved. But now I am angry at my doctor for not warning me of this possible side effect at the time of the shot AND then diagnosing it as a possible cancer!!! So now I am left with this deformity on my butt and a profound feeling of helplessness. Someone please tell me actions you have taken that have worked, both legally and physically. Will this go away?!?

MY 5 YEAR OLD SON HAS BEEN ON SINGULAIR FOR 7 WEEKS THIS PAST WINTER MY SON HAS BEEN VERY SICK HE HAS HAD PNEUMONIA SEVERE COLDS,EAR INFECTIONS,HIGH FEVERS TESTED FOR CYSTIC FIBROSIS,AND A LYMPH NODE REMOVED THE WHOLE WINTER THERE SEEMED TO BE NO CURE FOR HIS SICKNESS AFTER MANY ANTIBIOTICS AND ASTHMA MEDS THE DOCTORS DECIDED TO ADD SINGULAIR TO HIS DAILY MEDS WE THOUGHT IT WAS A MIRICAL DRUG HE HASEN'T BEEN SICK- ASTHMA AND ALLERGIES UNDER CONTROL.WE STARTED NOTICING SOME NEW THINGS GOING ON WITH HIM HES VERY ANGRY,IRRITABLE,HITTING PEOPLE BUT THE WORST FOR US IS HIS VERY VIVID NIGHTMARES HES SCARED TO SLEEP HE SEES THINGS-- IT WILL TAKE US 2 HOURS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT TO GET HIM BACK TO SLEEP HES SCARED ALL THE TIME AT NIGHT I DIDN'T KNOW WHY?

Been on warfarin about 3 weeks due to an a-fib condition.. Dose is 2.5mg a day. Since starting I cannot sleep, feel very tired and fatigued and slight sour stomach. Doctors say this is due to the a-fib but I don't think so. All I hear from my doctors is no side effects. Hs anyone else experienced these symptoms, and/or is there a website where I can find some answers.

My daughter is 5 years old and has been on singulair for 1 week. i have already noticed a dramatic change in her behavior. she has become irritable, mean, nasty, and emotional. she has had me in tears on a daily basis. she has turned into a monster. we will be calling the doctor in the morning!

wow i was starting to think that i had something wrong with me cuz of the depression! i have been on the nuva ring for 6 months, every month i get worse...im soooo irriatable i cry over everything...my sex drive has not decreased but i have absoultly noooo confidence...i feel fat...i get bloated for no reason...im so tired so i have dark circles under my eyes everyday, all of that makes me not want to have sex...i have convinced myself that im ugly and hes only touching me because he feels he has too! my boyfriend and i have 2 kids together, and he has recently told me that he doesnt know who i am and he doesnt want to be with me anymore cuz he cant take my mood swings. i have no sense of humor, i snap at everyone. i also always have a discharge! its sooo annoying. and i spot almost everyday during the month, and i still have a full blown period that to me has become more painful then ever, my doc said all this would stop but it hasnt!
im to the point where i have thought about sucide and i dont want to take care of my kids, i barely eat anything and when i do, i get bloated and i work out (with 2 babies under 3 im pretty active!) and i have only lost 35 pounds since i gave birth in oct. i only gained 27 my whole pregnancy! my pants are tight today, but in 2 days they might be loose and then a few days after that they are really tight again...i hate the niva ring!

ok i wrote a few post down (25y/o cutting his pillls in half)

had ugly side effects with 10mg.. (heart pounding, retrograde ejaculation)
after 4 days of cutting my pills in half from the 10mg to the 5 my symptoms have gotten better... the cough has gone.. right now i have a raspy breathing that comes and goes.. I do have some weird stomach pain stometimes like if someones pulling on my stomach and it feels like a slight discomfort... I been monitoring my blood pressure and it has been excellent.. spanning from 116/65 to 135/81 highest.. My heart beat was a little fast yesterday but now im pretty good.. i have random chest pains still.. Should i be feeling this if im just getting treated for hypertension.. I mean i didnt have a heart attack and my EKG showed borderline normal. i had a slight arythmia.. They said nothing serious..
Im kinda scared cuz well like my girlfriends dad just died of a heart attack instantly (first attack hes ever had) and he was a healthy guy abs, worked out everything.. he had chest pains all the time and would go to the doc and they would tell him hes fine.. just had high blood pressure.. these kinda stories make me nervous :( anyone have any insight?

Just a quick update about my husbands law suit with doctor who gave him 6 shots of kenalog for gout in his feet, legs, and knees. Russell ended up rushed into hospital with steriod induced diabetes and was told he would be inusulin dependant for the rest of his life, although his records went missing from hospital shortly after he was admitted. the doctor acting for the solictor came to examine him and has told us he has found letters from the hospital to our doctors and the interesting fact that I think everyone should know, he told us that the manufactors of kenalog suggest a maxium dose of 80 ml he told us Russell was injected with 320ml. We were also told that even though what he went through was very frighting because he did not die, we haven't got a positive case for sueing the doctor. ( but we still are continuing with the law suit)
Russell is not using insulin anymore as the steriods have came out of his body and his pancreas started again, although he is now classed as diabetic type 2 ( diet controlled)

Hi Guest 26582,

i know exactly how you feel, i feel the same.. well the depression/anxiety part. My poor boyfriend.. i told him that ive been having these horrible thoughts that i have lost my feelings for him.. and i told him that thats NOT what i want.. hes trying his hardest to understand, but i guess its hard for him.. i feel so horrible at what im doing. The last thing i need is to lose him now.

i went and saw my doctor today, 2nd day off yasmin... He told me its very likely my body just got overwhelmed, what with the pill and stress at work and then this cold that i just ran out of endorphins.. hence the lack of feelings for my boyfriend. friends and family.

im trying to be as patient as possible, i want this nightmare to end... im finding it so hard to stay positive, but im not doing too bad at the moment. I have moments where i feel like me again, but they are rare... i hope they just become more and more often until they are finally back for good.

Well good luck to you ladies in all your battles, i know we can make it through this together.

hi, i was put on advair 250-50 in sept. 05, it worked great!! after a few days, i was in so much pain, i could hardly move!! i told my doctor, he said it was not from the advair!! then i gained so much weight, went back to the doctor, he said why are you gaining so much weight??, i said its from the advair!!! hes like no its not, so i begged him to take me off it, he wouldnt, so he lowered it to 100-50, in feb -06, no change, i was miserble!! on march of 06 i stopped my self, the pain stopped!! i lost weight right away, i felt so much better!! i have had to use my inhaler 1 time since i stopped, i am breathing just fine, & i can clear my lungs on my own, i am not saying this is the best thing for everyone, just in my case, i took a chance, cause i didnt know what was gonna happen if i stopped suddenly, but everything was fine with me, even better than before!! but please if you decide to stop, ask your doctor first.DONT GAMBLE WITH YOUR HEALTH.

my friends son is four he has been on singular for a year and a half is has doubled in weight he wears a size 8 i came on hear looking for some answers and i have found some he does not listen, hitting, tantrums, he is so big he can not keep up with my kids and it is awful to see a kid struggle that way hes a lttle boy the weight gain has nothing to do with the diet his mother has him on my kids eat the same stuff and they r SKINNY!!!!!

Hello, looks like I have missed a very busy week on line. My son has been in hospital for a few days, he started to have tremors in his arm and up to his head it turns out it is one muscle in his shoulder causing all this, could this be a side effect of the pred? He started out about 2 months ago on 80 mg (hes only 7) and now we are taking him off of it slowly, now down to 20mg a day. Can anyone give a time frame as to about how long until I see all the other side effects, moody, sorness, moon face etc. go away? I ask as it is hard to tell if its the disease he has or the pred doing all this. Any how they think they have finally reached a possible diagnosis after 5 months and the pred is not very helpful with this disease so not sure if thats a good thing or not as there is really not anything that can help, no cure no treatment.

hi, i take levoxyl, and was just upped to 50mgs. i am thirsty all the time, i have joint pain and was diagnosed with RA. my fingers are dried out and look like a 400 year old mummy. i've been on it for about a year now. my son is on it too but takes 25mgs. with no problems. he lost about 22 pounds the first two months. will he ever be able to come off this med, hes been on for about 2 years.

My son is very sick, and have no diagnosis as of right now, just that his immune system is attacking his nerves, hes only 7. He is now been on 60mg of pred a day. Hes stomach is always sore he complains of cramping and I think he is constapated as well. He has gotten a little bit stronger but complains of aching in his wrists and ankles. Worries me because he is not eating because of the stomach pain. He will eat a yogurt when he takes the meds but thats about it. Does the stomach pains ever go away. I can't stand to see him in such pain, it is suppose to help but seems to have cause a hole bunch of other things including moods and anger towards me.

ovcon35 sux. I stopped taking after 4 weeks. the 11th active pill I started bleeding for 8 days still bleeding now & pain in the lover ovarian area, tired, moody & cry like a baby Im 26 & ahhhhhh its ridiculous. worse pill ever. thank god I stopped on my 17th pill i dont care what the doc says about waiting it out. hes not going through this BS im done. not worth this aggravation. bad enough we have these problems for 5 days now all this bloating. um no thanx- get off people. now im waiting to get my actual real period b/c i stopped the pill.

My 3 month year old son hasnt been sleeping and has the diarrhea. But when he poops hes been bleeding. I just called the doctor and they said to take him off the medicine so hopefully it works.

my husband has been on toprol for 2yrs had no problems till about 2 months ago he take 50 mg in morning and 50 at night his bp is around 210/110 without but when he takes it its 160-90 he says he notices short of breath sick to stomach no sex drive tired see the problem is that hes been in the hospital 3 times for low heart rate 25-30 beats a min and bp 60/20 they think its the meds he went in on the 4th of july and was put on life support and a external pace maker for 6 days they not sure what happened but they think its a reaction to the med i am scared for the next time i wish they could figure out whats wrong hes only 41 any one else been through this?

my son started zyprexa almost 3 years ago and has gained over 100 pounds! my little boy is gone, hes double the child he was, and most of it was in the first year. He stopped taking zyprxa 3months ago, the first thing we noticed was how good his face looks, now his belly is even with his chest, his self confudence is better than I've seen in him in years! He doing better in school than he has in 3 yrs. Hes getting out of the house and going on with life. All this in 3months, makes me wonder about if he really needs the lithium & wellbutin, not ready to stop any other meds. yet, but this wonderful change since quitting zyprexa makes me start to think if the pills are just a scam,and the threats of what will happen if you quit is a contrlling fear, if it was my health I would quit in a minute, but its my son,and I'm afraid of taking that chance with him.

My Dr. gave me a 5 day sample of Levaquin 250mg for a UTI 4 days ago. I took the 1st dose & almost immediately began experiencing a headache over my eyes. I figured it was just stress. I took my second dose & began feeling lightheaded & kind of dopey & my headache was still going strong. On day 3, I woke up with a golfball sized lump in the center or my forehead. I called the Dr. immediately but he could not be reached for 3 hours. In these 3 hours the swelling in my forhead continued to spread. I rushed to his office yesterday afternoon & he was amazed. He siad hes never heard or a reaction like mine but told me to NEVER take Levaquin or any similar drug ever again. He prescribed me another antibiotic & a 7-day pack of prednisone for the allergic reaction. Today I woke up and my forhead is not as swollen. The golf ball is gone but the swelling is travelling down my face. The bridge of my nose & under my eyes are now swollen. I'm very emotionally sensitive and my headache is still present. Levaquin is an evil evil drug! Take with caution!!!! I'll update when I'm feeling better.....hopefully real soon!

my son is 10 started taking zyprexa 1yr ago along with zoloft topamax straterra all for bipolar odd adhd...........since the zyprexa hes gained 35lbs maybe more hes VERY tired & lathargic THe weight gain is totaly unacceptable he also has the weakness in his legs hes too young to have these problems the benefits dont out weigh the side affects im weaning him off the zyprexa and at the same time starting Trileptal hopefully we can find something that can help us without all the BAD sideaffects.

my husband took this stuff for only 2 days while in the hosp for bronchtits, how wrong it is for the drs NOT to tell their patients about the side effects, but patients should ask about side effects. He has had muscle aches and pains, bad metalic taste in his mouth, insomina, he sat in the sun less then 1 hr and he looks like hes going to explode. Thank you for this sight. I also find somehitng disturbing, most of the people that have taken this were prescribed 500 mg. That is very disturbing considering meds are prescribed by weight of the patient.. Why then so many of the same amounts? Hmmmm.......

My 7 year old son started advair 4-30-03. His first dose was given about 2 hours before bedtime... After the first dose my son went from quiet and calm to all of a sudden he was off the wall.. Hyper,acting nasty, and started itching all over his body. When he was in bed sleeping he kept flinging himself out of bed and said he had bad dreams. He is still acting funny this morning . Needless to say, hes not getting anymore advair.I have also found out that advair isnt approved for children under the age of 13.His asthma is mild, but has a bit more problems than he normally does. Going to try sinulair next.... I hope it works.
