Hurry symptoms and conditions

Had a Mirena inserted after baby #2 in June of 09, instantly gained 25 lbs, lost control of my temper, and have been hopeless about future weight loss or family plans. Cannot believe I have acne on my back for the first time in my entire life, keep getting poked by the thing, and DH says the same. Never felt so defeated by life...going to get this thing removed asap; did it in a hurry before I lost my benefits when leaving work, and DH had suggested waiting to see if the non-hormonal IUD would work better, but OB was pushing it & said I'd be fine or would remove it asap. Seemed like it worked like a charm for a while, but now I never know when I'm not on my period because I'm always moody and angry and these crazy side effects are making married life unbearable.

I got mirena inserted in feb 2009, I bled off and on every month up until this last month. I have had drastic mood swings with my deployed fiance. One minute we are okay and for some weird reason I would just get so angry for something very minute. I have been experiencing discharge with a foul odor.
I have had increase episodes of migraines, insomnia, cramps, and throbbing pain in my vaginal walls. I have experience vaginal dryness and having to use lubrication more than often.
I have no desire for sex. My fiance is 24 and I am 28. He is always ready to go like 5 times a day sometimes if we don't have the kids at home with us. I feel really awful putting him through this, especially being he in Kuwait, he doesn't deserve my attitude. The problem is I can never remember to take the pill. The MIRENA is more convenient and a safer method to prevent pregnancy, My fiance does not want us to have any kids right now. I am nervous if I take out the MIRENA we will slip somewhere and get pregnant again. Pregnancy right now with really cause a strain in our relationship related to him not wanting us to get pregnant right now.
I feel so trapped because I don't know what to do at this time.

I am 24, I have a 3 year old and a 1 year old. After I gave birth to my youngest, I opted for the Mirena thinking it would be the best choice for me. For a few months, things were fine. Then things went downhill in a hurry. I lost every bit of my weight and then some with my first baby, now I can't get the weight off at all. I have migraines all the time and waves of nausea that last all day. I went from having constant periods, then they just stopped. Then I bled for nearly 3 weeks, then nothing again. I have NO sex drive whatsoever and I cry for absolutely no reason. I also did not realize that you can still get pregnant on the Mirena, but the fertilized egg has nowhere to implant. I don't want to have miscarriages every month! I really hoped that I would have a great experience with the Mirena, but I have had nothing but trouble. I am getting it removed on the 17th, and I am so excited, but I am nervous because my uterus is extremely retroflexed, and I hope it comes out easily!!!

ive been on the yhe 50 mg for nine yrs now, and now i get no relive from the patch seems like its not working at all help

I had my Mirena taken out yesterday after only 2 months of using it and a couple of hours after having it removed, all those nasty pregnancy symptoms I had are gone !!!! I'm soooo happy. Doctor told me that this is the first time she heard of a patient who is so sensitive to the amount of hormones released. I think she's lying. I'm not surprised if we are guinea pigs by the drug company to test it's side effects. Paying guinea pigs mind you.

headache,nauseous,leg cramps, pain in my left breast, around heart...now, around each period my breasts hurt, and i have terrible stomach ache, like cramps, which i never had before..i also started having acne on my back and shoulders...but the worst thing is, my room-mate, she was using Yasmin for 9months, died a week ago. she wasn't sick at all.she actually did have a few headaches, and weird stomach ache, but we didn't seem to connect the two...

I went to an on-campus health center and was prescribed Biaxin for a sinus infection. I had never taken it before, but the doctor said that it was the best thing because I might be immune to other antibiotics. That made no sense to me, but I didn't really question it. I just wanted the infection cleared, so I ran to the pharmacy as soon as possible and got the medicine.

First day: Took Biaxin at 9 in the morning. In a hurry, I read the directions wrong and only took one pill. I did fine until 3 pm, when I read the directions and took another pill. I didn't notice any side effects, and nothing really happened. My boyfriend was complaining that I was being irritable though, which I hardly ever am, but I didn't really pay attention to him. I had some stomach pains, which really hurt, but I didn't mark them off as being caused by Biaxin.

Second day (yesterday): Took Biaxin at 9 am, 2 pills this time. I was unable to concentrate all day, but I thought it was probably just the congested head and stuffiness. I went to bed around 12, and could not fall asleep. I was having racing thoughts about stuff that wasn't even real... I felt like I was in another world, like I was a different person. I finally fell asleep around 1, but I kept waking up. I woke up at 3:30 am today, and that's when the real ridiculousness started. I seriously just started crying my eyes out for no reason at all. I am not at all an emotional person. I rarely cry, even when something typically cry-worthy happens. This spell went on for over an hour. I had no idea what was going on, so I looked up "Biaxin depression" on Google, and sure enough there are tons of cases of this happening. How is this drug still on the market?!?!

I was feeling totally out of it, but I had enough coherence to head to the emergency room. I was crying my brains out while walking across campus to my car. For some reason I called my boyfriend, thinking that was smart. I couldn't even talk to him because I was crying so much. He was really confused I'm sure. I got to the ER around 5 am. I couldn't even talk to the receptionist without crying. I don't think I was even understandable. She felt really bad for me though, and when I couldn't find my health insurance card, she said not to worry about it. I only had to pay a ten dollar copay. I was the only patient there, so I got in right away. The doctor was really surprised when I told him about the Biaxin/depression ordeal, so he randomly pulled out his iPhone and looked it up. Weird, but hey... whatever. So he started talking all of this medical stuff, and was really amazed when I knew the name of the bacteria that Biaxin was supposed to kill that I had (plus of looking things up online). He didn't really question anything, probably because I was sobbing randomly... He gave me a prescription for my Augmentin, so maybe that won't be as horrible as this awful Biaxin. Doctors need to know about these very serious side effects. I went to Walgreen's to get my prescription filled, but the system was down, and they couldn't do anything. So, of course I started crying again. I didn't lash out on anyone. I just started flowing randomly. I am still crying at strange intervals...

So, I hope this was long enough to get my point across. Anyone who is prescribed Biaxin, please be aware of the depression you may face, and the severe stomach aches. I have never had any reaction to an antibiotic before, and I have definitely taken my fair share of them. Nothing like this has ever happened. Please take with caution.

during the first month of using NR i got my first ever yest infection. i went to the doc and got medicen and it went away. well hours after inserting the NR for the second month i felt like i was getting another one so i got my perscription refiled and it didn't go away... everything got really worse... horrific even. I took the NR out hopeing maybe it would lesson the pain. well when i finally got in to see the doctor. she told me i had herpes. i haven't got my test results yet to know if i just now got it or if it's someting i've had without having symptomes. i'm scared to put the NR back in b/c i know birth control can "trigger" outbreaks and i'm scared to death of another one. should i try putting it back in? i'm not in any hurry to have sex but when i do i need to be extra sure i'm not going to get pregnant. any feed back would be very appreciated.

My wife is experiencing massive hair loss. She had a metabolic panel ran on her to ensure it is not thyroid and is scheduled to see a specialist on hair loss next week. I just came off the National Institute of Health website at www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/medmaster/a697012.html where they list hair loss as one of the problems with the drug. They recommend that you see a physician immediately. My Wife's hair was literally coming out by the roots and since her hair is naturaly thin it won't be long before she is bold unless she can get it stopped.

Soreness in muscles, especially upper body, and very large bowel movements (solid but in a big hurry to leave). Also dry mouth.
Used it for two weeks for prostate infection. Always took it with food. Infection came back after a few days of being off it. Long-haul trucker.
