High metabolism symptoms and conditions

I am a single mother of 2 children, I wanted to quit smoking so my doctor said to try Bupropion ER150MG for a 1 week and 3days The first week it was 1 pill a day then 2pills from there on out. The affects hit me the second day it has helped with cutting down on smoking and it makes them taste very plain and nasty. I have these systems/side affects already>feel slow, dry mouth, horrible taste in mouth, food and sodas taste nasty food has nasty taste as well and headaches first week. Very emotional ever since I started taking 2pills, just a thought and I would tear up. Like today this morning I was emotional and around 1o'clock I was Bitchy and irritable. I feel drudged honestly. Totally not me I only get emotional when on my period and Bitchy hardly ever! Sleep well lets say I wake up a couple times every night since I have been on it period. I am a deep sleepier too. I have no clue on what to do if I should give it more time or tell the doctor I'm done? I just want to quit smoking with something thats not going to affect me like this. I have no anger problems or anything like that just smoking. I am actually under weight for my age I don't know if thats why it has affected me so quickly 5'5 and weight 107-109 26yrs old I have not been eating as much as I usually do and have a high metabolism and I seem that I have gained a pd or 2. Don't understand I just think it's mess me all up. I waited an hr or two later to take my next pill tonight and I felt so good like myself, I will also say it seems to leave my system within 9 to 10 hrs it suppose to stay in your system for 12hrs but not me. If anyone can help me on advice feel free to email me please ******Thanks Mel

I never put two and two together... but starting thinking that my mirena's hormones may be causing my issues. I had the mirena inserted a yr ago when I had the copper IUD removed. I told my OB/GYN that I was scared of the pill after trying it in college. Hormone-based birth control doesn't seem to work well for my family. She said it was a tiny dose and wouldn't get in the bloodstream so I shouldn't see side effects. HOWEVER, over the last year I have struggled with my weight. I have always been reallllly lucky. I am 5'8 and weigh about 135 without trying too hard. I have a high metabolism. But, I've started to feel pudgy last few months so have really tightened up my diet. I thought it was because I am getting older (29)...

As far as exercise, I used to be very active (mini-triathlons, 5Ks, sports etc.) but haven't felt like working out this year. Just can't get motivated. Today I was working with a personal trainer. We checked my records from January and I have gained 7 lbs!!! This is after I have really firmed up my diet. I have stopped eating carbs at night and trying to not eat after 7ish. In the past, this would really help my body look its best after a week or two. But, these last few months hasn't seemed to help me at all... Maybe it's the MIRENA?!

In addition, my cycle is about 7 days lator than it used to be. However, I still have the PMS symptoms I used to the week before my period but now they last forever! They start on the 20th and last until my period starts on the 7th!!! I get so irritable with my 5 yr old its ridiculous. It's not fair to her or my husband. I just wanted to share, that even with an athletic body type and a ridiculously high metabolism I am struggling. 2 yrs. ago I could eat 2300 calories w/out exercise, 2500 or more if working out that day. I used to eat as much as my 6'2 husband.

I got the Mirena inserted in May 2008, and had it inserted while on my cycle. Everything went fine and then I didn't stop bleeding for 1 1/2 months. I had severe cramping and even headaches. It is now 2 months later and now I am having tingling in my breasts and am bloated like nothing else. I feel like I am 4-5 months pregnant with how bloated I am. I have also noticed I am extremely tired all day every day. I try to please my husband but have no sex drive. I love the idea of not having to worry about any b/c for 5 years but I don't think the side effects are worth it. I have also taken 4 prego tests because at first I thought well is there a possibility. But all the tests were negative. I think it's just the Mirena. Can anyone relate to this?

I started this BC as a means to control irregular periods (I was having them every 2 weeks), and although these pills seemed to control that problem , I can tell you it is NOT worth it! I was SO nauseated the first 2 weeks, and after almost one pack, I have gained like 10 lbs--and this is with dieting and working out every day! I have a normally high metabolism and I don't easily gain weight, so that says something. I have also been extremely irritable and anxious. Yes, my chest has gotten bigger, but they are sore all the time. I am stopping the FemconFe today--good riddance!

I HAVE BEEN ON THE LAMICTAL FOR 5 MONTHS NOW( FOR MINOR BI POLAR EPISODE). AT FIRST I FELT A LITTLE "SPACEY" AS I HAVE INCREASED MY DOSAGE EACH TIME I NOTICED VERY PAINFUL MENSTRUAL CRAMPS, WORSE PMS, EXTRA LONG MENSTRUATION CYCLE, JOINT PAIN IN THE HIP, FORGETTING EVERYTHING( LOSS OF SHORT TERM MEMORY), AND EXTREME TIREDNESS IN THE DAY AND NOT SLEEPING AT NIGHT. I HAD BEEN ON 75MG A DAY ( 2 IN AM, 1 IN PM) AND THEN UPPED MY DOSE TO 100MG(2 IN AM, 2 IN PM). THE SIDE EFFECTS ARE WORSENING, ESPECIALLY THE JOINT PAIN. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED PANIC ATTACKS AND IRRITABLENESS THAT I HADN'T HAD BEFORE. WORST OF ALL, IS THAT I HAVE GAINED ABOUT 27 LBS WHILE TAKING THIS MED. HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD ANY OF THESE SYMPTOMS? PLEASE REPLY TO TELL ME THE BEST REMEDY.

I just got it "installed" on Monday, August 6th... I experinced mild cramping at first, my left leg feels sore and my lower back aches. I haven't broken out or had any other abnormal bleeding - yet... How soon did everyone else experience other side effects?? I'm kinda nervous about weight gain, hair falling out!!, acne,.. loss/lowered sex drive - - please help!!

I'm 26 years old and broke out in a horrible rash back in June. It was basically all over my upper torso, arms and my legs. I went to see a dermatologist and got a high prescription of Prednisone (40mg/day). The rashes went away, but I had many side effects. I gained 10 pounds in a few months (and it's hard for me to gain weight due to my high metabolism), my cholesterol shot up from 170 to 219, I was having mood-swings and feeling depressed, I was having dizzy spells, and it seemed like I was eating everything in sight. Now that I am off Prednisone, my cholesterol is back to normal and am not feeling depressed or having mood-swings. I am still waiting and working on losing the extra weight which does not seem to go away, esp. around my stomach area. I still feel light-headed at times but it's bearable. I hope there is a better drug or solution out there in case of another break-out. I do not want to go through that again.

Hello Everyone! I am so happy that I found this site. I was considering getting off yasmin, for about 2 months, but my fiance begged me not to. I used to have a very high metabolism. I was actually struggling to maintain my weight, but now, after gaining about 25 pounds over the course of 2 years, I decided that it could be related to Yasmin. I was happy with my new curves, but sadly, they just keep growing. I have also been prone to depression, which I link to my wonder pill. I have been off for about 2 weeks and have never felt better. I've read that many of you are having problems with your heart beats, and honestly, it scares me to death. I've experience leg cramps, which subsided after about 1 1/2 years on the pill, weight gain, increased acne, and rapid mood swings, which doubled during the week leading to my period. I also used to get pains during that week, after sexual intercourse, that is when I was in the mood, which was never. As long as I didn't climax, I would have no pain, but who wants to have sex when you are huddled over in pain, on the toilet, and throwing up. It felt like I was in labor. I hated having sex. Every time I enjoyed it, I was punished, by my own body. I told my OB/GYN about this and he said that he had never heard of that reaction during intercourse. He said that I could be allergic to my fiance's sperm. What is that? It must have been my sperm, because he had no issues climaxing. I thought that there was something mentally wrong with me, but I guess not, right? And, as an addition to my problems, as if there was not enough, I went to my Gynecologist about a year after I started takin Yasmin, and I was surprised to to find that I had, within 1 year of a healthy pap, been diagnosed with cervical displasia, which was only 1 stage away from full blown cervical cancer, yeah for me! I have never had any issues with my paps. I have a 5 year old daughter and was on a low dose hormone pill, until I stopped nursing. I had break through bledding, so they recommended Yasim, because, as I understaood, it was the Fort Knox, of all BC's. Funny, Right? 2 weeks post yasmin, I felt an increase in my libido, and I fell less puffy, if you know what I mean. I know that I am probably missing something, but these are the most detrimental issues. If anyone has had an issue with pain and nausea related to climaxing, please let me know, and please, everyone reading this, stay away from Yasmin. I have a friend that just starting taking it, and I plan on having her read all of the posts on this site, so keep them coming.
Thanks,
Lizzibug

i am 15 years old and im interested in taking adderal but i'm not sure if i should. I wasn't diagnosed with ADD/ADHD, its just that i heard about this medication and thought it be a good idea to try it because i feel that i need to be more focus in school, im often tired and don't really feel like doing homework...i have to change that, and i feel like adderal is the only way. I also heard that while taking this medication you start losing weight because it decreases your apetite, thats not a good thing for me because i only weight 105 do to having a very high metabolism, so i really can't afford to loose any weight if anything im trying to get to at least 120. So do to this concernes im not sure if adderal is for me; however i need something that will help me get better in school. What do i do?
