I am always tired symptoms and conditions

I have been on Zoloft 50 mg a day for about a year in a half it did help my anxiety, but nothing else it made me like a good year blimp I want off from it but I am scared of Withdraw I am always tired you kinda feel like like your always in a big dream.

Boy, after reading quite a few posts I wonder if my problems are linked to my advair use. I started about 2 years ago, 250/50 and have had to go to 500/50 during the spring-early fall because this is the time my allergies are the worst. I have year round allergies, highly allergic to weeds and grass pollen, also molds, cats, dust, etc. I started having problems when I was 15 with asthma, I am 30 now. I've been on multiple meds since I was about 20 for my asthma. During the winter I always have problems with chest congestion, coughing, and sinus problems. About 2 years ago these problems suddenly got a lot worse, and I could not get over sinus infections, I was referred to a specialist, they tried 3 different antibiotics, but as soon as I got off them my symptoms returned. I had a cat scan, and they found my sinus cavities were terrible, full, swollen, etc. He reffered me to another specialist, who I think is awsome. They changed my asthma meds, back to singular, q-var inhaller twice a day, and advair twice a day. My asthma is better, my sinus problems got better and I was able to have sinus surgery about 16 months ago which Greatly improved my problems. I started allergy shots about 1 year ago. Since July of this year I have been having strange problems, which I think are caused by the advair. Lots of times I shake for a few hours after taking my advair and q-var, for the last few months the shaking has gotten worse. In July I suddenly started having problems sleeping, my legs and arms move involuntarily - most of the time violently thrashing around while I am sleeping. I am always tired, and since July I now have severe tiredness in the day, especially while driving, I have to fight falling asleep! Very concerning to me since I have a 6 and 3 yr old, and the 3 yr old is always with me when I start to get to tired (exccessive daytime sleepiness). The leg and arm movements are called Periodic Limb Movement Disorder, similar to Restless Leg Syndrome, but PLMD is usually only during the night, and you don't feel like you have things crawling up your legs or the constant need to move. My symptoms have grown increasingly worse, I had all types of blood work done 2 months ago, nothing was found to be wrong. I've tried different chiropractors, stretching my back/legs before bed, less caffine, etc. But nothing has helped. I started taking Requip about 6 weeks ago, increased the dose about 2 weeks ago, but still having problems. I have had leg and feet cramps for the last month, almost daily, and have periodic leg shakiness during the day, like I have worked out really hard, but I have been sitting! I noticed that Advair lists sleep disorders as a side effect, but doesn't specify what types. I will definately be talking to my doctor about weaning off and stopping advair!
Thanks for having this site and for sharing!

I've been taking yasmin fr about 6 months now, and never before this i have had really bad skin problems, just minor breakouts here and there. Now I suffer from skin rashes, acne additional to migranes that last for days and days, nausea, stomach pains. I am always tired and have mood swings. i want to get of this pill but im affraid other pills will have other side effects...

I have been on NR for 3 weeks now. My first thought was..."hey this is great, I don't have to remember to take a pill at the same time every day". But just after the first couple of days on NR I noticed that I was VERY moody. I feel constantly depressed and I am always tired. I also feel bloated and I have no drive to have sex with my husband. It sucks because now that I am a stay at home mom, I feel like I am not enjoying the time with my kids like I could be because I am so emotional and unmotivated. I think when it's time to take it out... it's not going back in. It's not worth feeling this way.

My Doctor precribed a low dosage of zoloft last week to help me with my fibromyalgia. Supposely the serotonin amount in my brain will be altered. Does anyone else take zoloft for this condition? I also have mild sleep apnea so I am used to vivid dreams, but last night my dream was very bizarre to say the least. I felt like I was awake as I was aware of my surroundings, but as soon as I closed my eyes I heard people talking and auditory noises outside and in my room. Almost made me think my room was haunted because my decreased parents were having conversations with me. Very real-like and extremely weird. I also am experiences somewhat of a upset stomach and can hear normal stomach noises. In addition I have a slight headache at times. I question my Doctors choice of drug, due to the fact I have sleep apnea and I am always tired anyway. I am not compliant with my c-pap machine. Please let me know if anyone else has any of these side-effects and/or is receiving zoloft for fibromyalgia.

I have been on Toprol XL for over 2 years and I can't believe what I am reading on this website. I am so glad that I googled. I have had many of the same problems and I am taking 100 mgs once a day. I cannot lose wait, my memory is horrible, I am always tired, I even had the itching thing go on, my joints ache some thing fierce, so bad that I went to a joint specialsit to have them checked because I thought that I may be getting arthritis at 37. I suffer from both depression and anxiety and was given this medication called Lexapro and had a panic attack in the middle of the night so that was the end of that. I have also had the sleeplessness and the sleeping too much and most importantly the edema of the hands, ankles and feet. I can't wear shoes that are too flat because they swell, I can't wear shoes that are too high because they swell, I can't eat salt because they swell, I can't stay out in the heat or humidity for too long cause they swell, I am so tired of swelling I want to scream. I also get very bad leg cramps and leg pain when I walk too far, also my menstural cycle is crazy. I bleed so much (sorry guys) that I have to buy new at least 2-3 new pairs of jeans a month because of "damage". I get overly fatigued and everything because fo blood loss. I am so tired of this it is not funny, but I like the fact that it is time released and is somewhat gentle. I am going to speak to my doc next week about changing though because I thought that I was in a very small group that was having these issues, even down to the inability to lose weight.

I went on Yasmin in late February of 2005. In early April of 2005,I started having severe anxiety and panic attacks. I had experienced a bout with anxiety and panic one other time in my life, but it was 10 years prior to this, and I'd had no trouble since. After having cousneling and working very hard to deal with the anxiety,things got better. However, I still don't feel like the strong, confident woman I was before all the trouble began -- I used to feel like I could do anything and like I was on top of the world. Since I've had anxiety and panic issues, I've had trouble getting to the gym (something I used to do 6 - 7 days a week), and I am fearful of things I was never fearful of before. Anyway, about a week ago, I started thinking back on this whole journey and realized that the anxiety started just about 4 - 6 weeks after taking Yasmin. So I typed in anxiety and yasmin in Google and came across this website -- I have been so surprised to see so many other women struggling with these same issues. I am now off Yasmin (I'm supposed to start a new pack tomorrow, but I will not be) and am very hopeful that I'll return to my former self sometime soon. My husband and I are hoping to have a baby early next year, so I won't be taking any hormone birth control after this -- I don't know if I ever will again.

I am 31, been taking this stuff for about 5 years now. I am always tired, sometimes dizzy spells hit me out of nowhere. I wake up at night with my heart racing and/or pounding. If I get up out of bed suddenly, I swear my heart is going to beat out of my chest. I have had bouts with PVC or my heart skipping beats and such. The least little thing I do I feel like I've ran a marathon, out of breath, heart racing and pounding. A few months after starting, I developed horrible acid reflux, so of course had to start taking Nexium. My hands sometimes slightly swell and get red and I also get the hot flashes like my bp suddenly spikes on me, but i'll take it and it'll be normal. Im going to the doctor and get off this medicine. I also always feel weird, or like i'm just not all here. I feel like an idoit its taken me this long to figure it all out. I feel like i've lost 5 years of my life to feeling horrible.

I HAVE BEEN ON ADVAIR FOR 5 YEARS STRAIGHT. I HAVE HAD ASTHMA SINCE I WAS 17, DURING THESE 5 YEARS OF USING ADVAIR I HAVE GAINED 65 LBS AND HAVE HAD CHRONIC BRONCHITIS AND CONSTANT PHLEGM THAT NEVER GOES AWAY. I HAVE WHAT THEY CALL A "MOON FACE" AND ALL THE WEIGHT I HAVE GAINED IS AROUND THE MID SECTION. I AM ALWAYS TIRED, SO TIRED I CAN'T EVEN PLAY WITH MY CHILDREN. THIS IS THE FINAL STRAW! I AM ADVAIR FREE STARTING TODAY. I TRULEY BELIEVE IT HAS MADE MY ASTHMA WORSE THAN EVER, I HAVE A CONSTANT COUGH AND THE PHLEGM IS ALWAYS THERE NO MATTER WHAT I TAKE FOR IT AND BELIEVE ME, I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING TRYING TO RULE OUT THE ADVAIR AS BEING THE CAUSE OF MY SIDE AFFECTS. I DON'T CARE WHAT ANY PULMONOLOGIST SAYS ABOUT IT BEING TOO LOW OF A STEROID TO CAUSE ALL OF THESE SYMPTOMS. I KNOW WITHOUT A DOUBT IT IS THE ADVAIR. IF YOU USE ADVAIR NOW, MY ADVISE TO YOU IS TO GET OFF OF IT A.S.A.P. BEST OF LUCK.

I just stumbled across this site. I have been taking Lisinopril for a few years for HBP. I am always tired and was chalking it up to aging but now I realize that maybe it is this medication! I have periods of dizziness and vertigo and I have been coughing at night and have a lot of phlem in my throat. I think I will be checking in with my Doctor. Thanks to whoever created this site.

My doctor put me on Lisinopril in March 06'. Within a week I developed a dry hacking violent cough that persists to this day. I complained about the cough and was assured that this was a very uncommon side effect. The violent coughing has also led to bouts of uncontroled vommitting with severe watering of the eyes sometimes occuring during work hours. Going to sleep is the worst. I always feel like phlegm is stuck at the back of my throat. Within 5 minutes of laying down the post nasal drip occurs usually resulting in a controlled vomit to clear out the plug of phlegm that is preventing me from sleeping. I have to sleep on my side at night. Sleeping on back always results in coughing that always wakes me. This is probably why I am always tired at work after getting 7-8 hours of sleep. Thanks to all of you for your postings, Today is my last day on this garbage medicine.

I am 28 years old, I have been on Yasmin for 14 months and have had horrible depression issues. I am always tired. I can't sleep. I have absolutley no sex drive. I lost weight when I first started taking it, but have gained 19 pounds in a year. I am hypoglycemic and have to watch my sugar intake, just as a diabetic would. I was not told that there was potassium in this pill and that eating a bannana could put me in the hospital. I found that out though only after being in the hospital and feeling like I was going to die. I was put on Yasmin because I have problems with bleeding 3 out of 4 weeks a month. Trust me this pill is not what it is cracked up to be.

I am a 27 year old female that was diagnosed with asthma in March of 2004. When I was diagnosed, I weighed 152. I current weigh 165. My appetite has changed completely in the past 2 years. I have very little taste for meat (which I used to love), I crave any type of starch and carbohydrate (which I used to enjoy, but not over-indulge in), and I struggle with depression.

Plus, since I started taking Advair, I am always tired and just want to rest when I get home from work. BUT, I can breathe much better than before.

The one thing that I've wondering since I began taking Advair is, is it making my asthma worse? I now depend on Advair to breath, and if I don't take it I am a mess. I don't know what to do.

Hi all,
I just wanted to stop by and mention my symptoms from Yasmin:
-I am always tired, my sleep cycle increased from 6-7 hrs to 9-10 hrs. sometimes I come home from work, and go straight to bed, because I can't think of anything else, but taking a nap
-depression. My life is wonderful, I have loving husband, I just got in the school I wanted and I gonna start this fall. There is no reason to be sad, yet I am just not enjoying anything, like it's not my life
-leg cramps, horrible leg cramps, charlie's foot, toys cramp especially in the evenings
-emotional downs, can cry for no reason
-no sex drive
-dizziness
- and!! I do too have decreased hearing! my husband says I am death but it's just recently got that bad!!
the list goes on, but those are the most bothersome symptoms. I am on Yasmin for 2 years. All described above didn't show up right away, may be half year after I started taking these bc. I 've been suffering from all these symptoms for quite a while now, and it just hit me recently that it's not just depression, (since I never had one, and there is no history in my family), that it's my bc affecting me!!! I gonna go to my gynecologist ASAP and try to substitute Yasmin for something else, or, possibly just dont' take any bc at all.
Thank you ladies, for all your postings, it helped me realize that I am on the right path :)

OK....So I started takin Doxy 4 days ago for Pelvic Inflammatory Disease. The day after I started taking it, I started to get really bad heartburn, and my stomach started to hurt like no other. This is still going on on top of being hungry ALL THE TIME, for the first two hours after I wake up, I am always running to the bathroom becuase I feel like I have to vomit, but nothing ever comes up, I am always tired, and I always feel like I have no energy. I thought maybe I was pregnant but all my tests were coming up negative. I started getting really scared so I started to do research...Knowing that I am not the only one who is going through these effects, I know that I am not pregnant. If it gets any worse, I am definately going back to the doctor....

I have been taking this medicine for about 3 days, I started running a fever with chills, then ached all over now i have lost the feelings in my hands and the ability to make a fist or even hold a pencil. My head hurts so bad I feel like its going to explode. and I am always tired I sleep for 27 hours the first day i took it but i also thought I was coming down with something.
Unfortunately I just took one before logging on so I already feel it my body is shutting down and dont have enough energy to stand up.

I have been on lisinopril for about 6 months. I take a 10 mg., cut in half at bedtime. My blood pressure immediatly went to about 120 over 75. My problem is about the time I started lisinopril a sleep problem appeared. I can only sleep 2 to 3 hours at a time. I wake up exhausted and seldom ever sleep over 4 hours in a row. I am always tired and a 20 minute nap does help. My doctor recommended sleeping pills, but not much help there and maybe thats worse. Can you help with any suggestions. Thank you. Fred

I have a pitutary brian tumor and I have been taking Levothroxine for about 7 years and I need to know what happen if you quit taking this pill? I have been thinking about it, to see if I feel like my old self again. I am only 38 and I have extreme about of hair loss, hungry all the time, dry skin, no sex drive, no memory, the shakes, weight gain and can't lose any. I have been the same weight since the removal of the tumor. Ihaven't lose a pound and haven't gain a pound but I sick of being fat and can't lose a pound. No matter what I do. And I am always tired . I sleep about 90% of a day. I am to young to feel this way everyday. I feel they should of left the tumor in there so I could of still been myself for a little longer. Than to live like this each day. I just want to know what will happen if I quit taking this Levothyroxine?
Let me know, please. Thanks!

I have been on Lisinopril for about 5-6 weeks now. I developed a cough immediately after I began the medication. It wakes me up everynight, so I am always tired. Sometimes I cough for a couple of hours. I've had to sleep on the couch for the last month, so I don't wake my husband. It's very annoying. I also have a "lump" sensation in my throat and it feels like someone is pressing their thumb against it, like being choked. My right side has just recently started hurting a little, but no leg or hip pain.

Gosh!! Here I am thinking that there's something wrong with me...but I have the same side effects as all of you...on EVERY pill i take. I have horrible emotional bouts--I'll cry over something silly, I have NO SEX DRIVE WHATSOEVER and I am ALWAYS tired. I have a busy life, so I thought that was the reason for my fatigue. I am young and should have an enourmous sex drive, but I don't. And the week before I get my period I need a bathroom every five seconds, and I have horrible gas.

This website opened my eyes. Thank you. I will get off that pill now!!

I can't believe all the women who have experienced these awful side effects of Yasmin. I went to my OBG-YN last week and told her how terrible I have felt for the past two months I have bee on Yasmin. I asked her if this was normal and she said she was pretty sure it was due to the Yasmin. She took me off the pill, and actually told me to stop taking the pills a week early. She prescribed Ortho-tricyclin Lo for me. I hope this pill is better, because I can't handle feeling so tired and out of it all the time. I am always tired, my face breaks out more than usual, and I have been getting calf cramps. I also get dizzy spells when I am driving, in public places and even at home. I have been very moody and not feeling like hanging out with my friends anymore. I stopped the pill two days a go and I can't wait to get my period and get on with my life. Has anyone else tried ortho tricyclin LO? I am scared to try a new BC pill because of the terrible side effects of Yasmin.

Was on Yasmin for 9 months and then took a 2 month break and then I resumed. Now I feel "screwy". I feel anxiety, nervousness, dehydration,heart palps and my newest symptom.....Waking up in the middle of the night completely nauseated Puking and heaving!! I can't sleep because the Hormones are keeping me up at night. Also I have an unnatural, unhealthy monthly period. The blood is just dark gook. It's not a nice healty flow. I am getting off this crap. The sad thing about it is my boyfriend said, "you have to stay on it". What an jerk... he has seen how terrible I have felt on it. He also tells me I am "unstable", and that I have mood swings. I am going to chalk it up to Yasmin!! Oh another thing, I don't like to get up in the AM. I am always tired and drained of energy... I say 4 get it!!

I'm not sure if this is because of Yasmin, but for the past 4 monthes (since around the time I started Yasmin) my energy level has decreased immensely. I am always tired and sleep whenever I can throughout the say. I am also taking Celexa for depression, but I've been on that since last June so I don't think a side effect from that would come 5 monthes after taking it. So I am thinking its the Yasmin. Has anyone else experienced this??

I HAVE BEEN ON SEROQUEL FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. iT IS THE ONLY MEDICATION THAT GIVES ME A FULL NIGHTS REST. I don't want to give it up but the fact is I am always tired in the mornings. I can't think as sharply. It doesn't wear off until mid afternoon. I only take 1/4 of a 25 mg. tablet nightly. I don't have schizophrenia. I have bipolar disorder.
