Getting weaker and weaker..
HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!!!!

I was put on Yasmin as a healthy 31 year old. I noticed severe foot and leg cramps shortly after taking Yasmin but didn't connect the two. At one point, after a severe leg cramp that left me with a sore leg that lasted more than a couple of days, I contacted my OBGYN to inquire about blood clots. The nurse asked me if I noticed any discoloration, swelling or 'hot spots'. When I told her no she said that I would know if I had a blood clot and there was nothing to worry about. The pain subsided after a couple of days and I attributed it to a pulled muscle. Almost a year later I developed severe chest pains and shortness of breath. A trip to the emergency room uncovered a massive pulmonary embolism. I was admitted to the hospital for 5 days and endured months of recovery to get back to good health. I was on a blood thinner for almost 9 months and still take a daily aspirin in combination with fish oil as a precaution. I can't tell you how I wish I had know just how serious the side effects might really be. I would urge all women to seriously consider all options before committing to a daily medication with these possible side effects. Best of luck to you all.

I have been taking Topomax for quite some time.Tried it several years ago, the mgs were not high enough (only 25mg/day).My doctor didn't really know the prpoer dosage.It didn't help the migraines.My new doctor has me on it again.50 mgs/day.Here's the good - NO MIGRAINES! Here's the bad: Acne at 45 years old, tingling doesn't even describe my legs or face, ringing in the ears, remembering names and places just doesn't happen, I'm eating less but gaining weight quickly,& one last thing- Itchy spots that I would describe as "hot spots" if I were speaking of my dog. Still sticking with it because I don't have the migraines.I tried to slowly take myself off and the headaches came back.What choice is there?

I've been taking Singulair for about a week now. I have been having headaches every day and dizziness upon waking. My sinuses feel irritated and I am experiencing sinus drainage. The only change in medication has been the addition of the Singulair. I started getting allergy shots a little over a month ago, and had noticed a considerable improvement in my allergies and asthma. My doctor just added the Singulair, and I feel as though all my progress has gone out the window. I want to stress that I was feeling MUCH BETTER just getting allergy shots each week, but once I started taking Singulair, I started feeling ill again. The headaches are most problematic, causing particular impairment. I plan to stick it out for a while in an attempt to rule out any other potential confounding variables (weather, hormonal fluctuation, pollen hot spots, etc), but I fear that this may not be the medication for me.

While it is true that all these comments are "anecdotal", the potential side effects listed in the Singulair booklet include headaches, stomach ache, aggression, anxiety, etc. Individuals with allergies tend to be hypersensitive to chemicals, which may explain a higher incidence of sensitivities to medications. No one posting on this site is a hypochondriac, contrary to the uneducated and caustic comment posted on August 19th. This is merely a forum for the free exchange of information, enabling all of us to be more educated consumers and patients. I am curious as to why “Foxmulder” was even perusing this web site - if he or she has not been experiencing any side effects, then why bother reading the rest of our struggles with the drug? I’m guessing that our friend is a tad more damaged than he cares to admit.

Furthermore, the accounts of young children and adolescents reporting problems and then finding relief once being removed from Singulair proves to me a need for more research into this medication. Surely these young children are not reading the website postings and then mysteriously manifesting symptoms after the fact, as cynics like Foxmulder would have us believe. Having studied psychology and having worked with bipolar children, I know all too well the dangers that medication can have on young, developing bodies and minds.

All medications should be approached with caution, and a good doctor will be willing to listen to his or her patient’s feedback and adjust dose or prescription accordingly to find the right balance for each individual.

I had a lumbar injection of Kenelog in April of 2005. Within a week of having the shot I was in the ER with chest pain and numbness in my left arm. I never thought that it may have been the injections. I was absolutely pain free in my back after the injections so I was happy as a lark considering I was cripled for a year before them. 13 months later (June 2006) the old back started to act up so I went in for another shot. Within 2 days I had bad heartburn and hot spots on both of my arms that were red and hot to touch. Still oblivious to the effects being from the shot-I went in for a second set of shots 4 weeks later (July 2006). Now 2 days later I am experiencing severe chest pain for 2 days.
