I am so tired symptoms and conditions

I was given Levaquin in the ER via IV Push which should never have occurred. It should have been infused over 60-90 minutes. Almost immediately I had a strong metallic taste in my mouth, my face and head felt hot and throbbing and I told the nurse I was having a reaction. Her response was that I could not have reaction that fast. I immediately stood up and began pacing and felt a burning sensation travel down my arms, to my legs and up the center of my body. I FELT LIKE I WAS ON FIRE. Then it was if a heavy brick was dropped on the center of my chest. The last thing I recall is seeing the ER doctor's face and hearing him say, "Pupils dilated. She's gone". When awoke I was in CCU on a ventilator. Since this experience I have had intermittant chest pain in one area only, EXTREME fatigue, and tinnitus. Most days are spent in a haze. I am so tired all of the time, but have difficulty falling asleep because of the ringing in my ears. I have not had one moment of quiet. There is no peace or quality left to my life. NO ONE SHOULD EVER TAKE LEVAQUIN. Many other antibiotics are available without the potential devastating, permanent adverse reactions of this one.

I have been on Lisinopril fro 6 months. AT 1st 1 felt horrible like most of the symtoms already mentioned (tired, heart palpitations,etc) Most side effects have subsided after about a month or so, EXCEPT this tickle cough that started within days of taking it and is driving me crazy! I have stress incontinence to begin with (pee when I sneeze or cough) but nothing that a thin panty liner worn every day to take of the problem. This cough is constant..all night long, during the day...I am so tired of that feather tickle in my throat..and it goes without saying that my stress incontinence is much worse..that panty liners no longer are large enough to control that problem! Thank goodness I have a doctors appt tomorrow...I refuse to stay on this medication even though it has done great for my BP

Fatigue, insomnia, weight gain and have had two teeth break off. The worst thing is that I am so tired all the time. All I can do is make myself get off of the couch to do normal house work. Was told by Dr. that I was so tired because I am anemic. Decided to search Diovan and was completely surprised to find out how many people have the same side effects. Now I am pretty sure that Diovan is my problem. I have a call into the Dr. and he is suppose to call me back tomorrow.

I just started the 3rd packet…. Do not know what to think really …
Firstly I start take Jasmin because I was constantly spotting and early painful period. My gynaecology recommended me to take Jasmin for 3 month without break so I did. Thanks!! I have now been spotting more than before (brown discharges) for the past two month and now for the past 4 day I am bleeding???? What is going on?? My sex life is going down hill… migraine and head hake for a weeks …. I feel very tired. But thanks I have bigger bubby but my legs water retention is not flattering. I am so tired of all of this.

Ladies,

I am so glad for the internet because I am having the same side effects. I cry for no reason, like now I am about to cry typing this. I am depressed all the time. In the beginning it is wonderful. Before I started the Ring my cycle would last for 8 WHOLE days strong. When I got on the ring it change to 1 day or a day and a half. I loved it! Then I noticed that I would always have an attitude about something. I was always negative and never wanted to do anything, I just didn't have the energy. Oh my goodness and Sex, just thinking about it turned my stomach. I just didn't want to be touched or kissed or anything. But when I forced myself to do it I really enjoyed it. It was hard to stay lubricated but that was another side effect. My poor husband is hanging in there with me. I explained to him why I am feeling the way I am. Its the ring. I am apart of LA Weightloss and in the last month and a half I have not lost any weight and I have gained inches in my stomach and breasts because of the ring. I took it out Monday night and I will never put another one in. I am going to get my tubes tied. I am so tired of all this birth control because it seems that it is not controling anything. Believe I would rather have an 8 day period than feel the way I feel now.

I am on 300mg for bipolar. I am having trouble concentrating, remembering (i forget what i'm doing while i am doing it!), I often worry about driving-just don't feel like i can focus well enough-riding down the road thinking "hope i know what i'm doing". It is like i daydream constantly with periods of not daydreaming. I feel pretty cheerful and not having any real emotional problems, but the physical problems are a mess. I am so tired that i feel like every single day is a "well i'm sick today, i'll give myself a break, maybe i'll feel better tomorrow". i do have better days sometimes, but for the most part, i feel kind of useless-not "useless" like i'm depressed-i mean "useless" like i get nothing done and it takes me two hours to get some lunch for myself and my three-yr-old child, and i mostly sit around because i'm "taking a break" and my legs are so sore or i have a headache or i feel shaky, or nauseated - each day, i feel so sleepy i am desperate for my husband to get home to care for my daughter (and me)-it feels like i took NyQuil or Benadryl or something! So, i am literally pretty useless. It's such a shame. I can't find a medicine to help me cope, it is always a trade-off...and going on and off them to try another is a nightmare. At least, right now, it is just a daydream...

I have taken this for 3 weeks and I had to stop. I just had a baby and I know I'm supposed to be tired, but even if I slept for 8 hours I was so tired that I could hardly hold my eyes open, I was depressed, sick to my stomach and dizzy. I was really thinking something was wrong with me and I went to the Dr to have blood work done and everything was fine so I'm switching back to Lo Ovral.

I'm so happy I found this site. I've been thinking I'm crazy or just getting old for the last 3 years while on Yasmin. I started taking it at age 29 and almost immediately after started having mood swings, extreme irritability and depression. I had previously been on Ortho Tri Cyclen and the Ortho Cyclen before Yasmin and was on them for MANY years and never had one side effect. I only switched in the first place because I like to have very very few periods and I run all my active pills together to forgo periods very often and I was having breakthrough on the Cyclen. Hence, the Yasmin trial.

I'm actually a doctor (which is why I CANNOT have frequent periods with all the accompanying issues), but I didn't even realize the possible connection between IBS and Yasmin. This needs to be studied and taken seriously. I never once had IBS symptoms until a few months after starting Yasmin. Now, 3 years later I have almost constatnt trouble, to the point everytime I eat I run for the bathroom, yet my weight has never been higher. I asked a GYN friend at work if they could be related and she said definitely no, but reading all of these "real life" examples, coupled with my own experience has made me think otherwise. Often, the symptoms will occur shortly after taking the pill, even when I haven't yet eaten breakfast. It's crazy!!

I'm going to switch either back to Ortho Cyclen or to something new ASAP and will report back. I'm both excited at the thought that my "IBS" might really be Yasmin related but also scared that it might not go away and therefore might really be IBS. I'll report back... It honestly never entered my mind that all of it could be the Yasmin. I had just moved, started a new job in a town I hate and I thought it was all stress related.

I've also had an interesting side effect no one has mentioned yet- my hair texture has dramatically changed. It isn't falling out, but has gone from VERY curly with a nice soft spiral curl pattern to very dry, straight and hard to manage. Nothing else has changed and now I'm wondering if it's not the DRSP. If pergnant women can have hair changes, why not women on the pill?? It's all hormones.

As always with a drug, there are always possible side effects. No one drug is perfect, and humans are so complex in their make up and they way they process drugs. Therefore, please don't judge your family docs or GYNs too harshly as not even the best doctor in the world can predict every side effect.

AVOID YASMIN LIKE THE PLAGUE! I never have got on with contraceptive pills, but this pill is absolutely the worst of all types I've tried. I specifically told my doctor that responded badly to hormones in BC pills such as weight gain and tender and enlarged breasts - well, two days after starting Yasmin, I started to get shooting pains in the sides of my breast and I grew at least a full cup size. I was miserable, having to wear sports bras and unable to move in any way without feeling discomfort.

The discomfort was not only in my breast, I also started to get extremely moody and a bit depressed. My best friend and husband and I were on a weekend seminar and the two of them called me 'punchy' all weekend. This occurred for about two weeks, succinctely during the two months, I was on Yasmin.

Other side-effects were: heavy periods, spotting, weight gain, dizziness and I swear, I could have slept my life away on this pill. I was always feeling tired and like I needed more rest.

I'm now trying Loestrin 20 now - hoping that will be ok for me.

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 have been taking the drug for almost two years and I still cough all night, I am sick on my stomach, I have eye floaters, I am so tired I quit my job after 25 years, I am stopping the drug today. I can't feel any worse.

Went on a 6 day dose of methylpred to stop a 16 day migraine. (worked on 4th day) Side effects: cleared a 45 yr problem with eczema that NO ONE had cleared before! I have energy like I had at 25, I am an arithric 52 year old.
A problem I had with itchy skin, was taking 100 mgs of atarax a day, that problem is gone.
Can I stay on this stuff forever? I'm in love with it, what is this?! Tomorrow is my last day. :-( My house hasn't been this clean in years, I've cleaned my son's, too!

Wow. After reading about everyone else's experience, I feel much better. I love the convenience of the Nuvaring, and in the two months I have used it, I have experienced no vaginal discharge or pain. However, the mood swings and bouts of depression have been positively debilitating. I don't know if it's a direct result of the ring or a side effect of the depression, but I am so tired all the time. I have fallen asleep three times over the course of the past two weeks in my car at work in the middle of the day. My sex drive is non-existent and I feel like a bloated cow. In September, I was running 11-minute miles in 5K races. Last week, I could barely walk on the treadmill for 35 minutes. I just feel like my body is betraying me. Will it get better????

I am taking 10mg of lisinopril. My blood pressure has came down to normal pressure. My main side effect is fatigue. I am so tired and sleep all the time.

Guest 34613,
Yasmin is a pill that causes tons of side effects when going off of it. If you go through this whole forum like I did when I first found it you will be amazed. I was on Yaz the sister pill for only 2mths and it practically took my sanity. I did get swollen glands and felt achey. The feeling and down and depressed well you can definetly see from here that is from the pill. I had to go on a A/D because of such bad depression and anxiety. Yes it does affect the adrenal gland, I had a friend that was on Yasmin and it messed up hers. I also have seen it in some post on here. Have you lost any weight? I am so tired since going off of it. I think it just drained our body so much.

i have been taking lisinopril for around 6 years my dose is 40 mg i now have acid reflux cant sleep at night stay so tired during the day cant do much stay sleepy during the day i am so tired now its 6.30 pm could it be this medicine lisinopril if so it ought to be took off market thanks dennis

I was given 500 mg levaquin for a bad`sinus infection. My doctor wnted to nip it quick because I take a drug that lowers my immunity because of Rhumitoid Arthritis. After 3 days I broke out in a terrible rash all over my body. Since I had other allergies to antibiotics I figured that was what it was and it couldn't be much worse than the sinus infection. I was wrong. Now I have swollen joints. My knee is at least twice the size it should be. I feel horrible everywhere. I am so tired I can hardly function. I have enough health problems without this too.

I have the tingling fingers and feet and face tingles too. My skin feel slimy and so does the inside of my mouth. I feel like my breath stinks and I have acid reflux I also seem to be the only person who seems to feel bloated and water retentive and has GAINED weight even though I don't have an appetite. I agree that I am moody, but I don't feel well Last night I had the worst night. I didn't sleep at all and I just hated everyone. I never felt so angry in my life and just wanted to yell and scream all night.Yet I was able to pull myself out of it and realize that I was irrational,thank goodness. I had a migraine to boot so the pain seemed intense and all the suffering with the side effects of the Topamax futile. I have never felt so depressed. I don't know if I should pack it in and go back to Elavil. 8 years of that. I am so tired of pain and pain management that just doesn't seem to work. Any answers out there.

I have been getting the 7.5mg injection once a month since July 2006. I had a uterus the size of a 5 month pregnancy and have several fibroid tumors. My uterus has shrunk (not sure about the fibroids) but I have been having so many side effects I don't know if I would do this again if someone told me about them. Thankfully my last shot was Sept 8th and I will have a hysterectomy in October. I did lose the stomach but regained it with the weight gain!!!! My bones are always aching, constant teeth ache, headaches (mild migraines) every day. Now I have been experiencing dizziness and nauseous. I have been coming home from work the last couple of days because of this. I am so tired all the time - I take a nap during my lunch hour to just get through the day. Oh and the memory loss is so difficult for me. I cannot even remember co-workers names. I can't remember what I was supposed to do when I get across a room. I have to set a timer to remind me that I am cooking dinner!!!! I would definitely not recommend Lupron for any long time use. If my doctor told me that I would have to get another shot - I would say NO!!!!

I HATE DOXYCYCLINE.

I never thought I could get so sick from something that is supposed to help me out!

The doctor prescribed it to me for something that I may not have. But just to be sure he told me to take it for 10 days.
It is day 4 and I just cant take it anymore. The side effects are HELL. As soon as I started taking it, my skin felt weird, and now i have a bunch of red dots and rash.. ITCHES.

Not only that but the nausea, stomach pain and weird bowel movements are the worst! oh and the DEPRESSION. I am so tired everyday and I feel as though I want to kill myself. It is awful.

I refuse to take it , the pill is much worse than any disease or illness I've ever had. I honestly thought the symptoms were due to the problem i may have, but after reading this site, definitely it is the pill. Now, I'm so confused, I dont know what to do , if finish with them or just stop right away.

I was on Prednisone for three months for a bowel obstruction
Of the iluem of small intestine, I didn't have to have surgery
for now, I was tapered off the prednisone and I have had terrible body aches, weakness, my legs have always been
strong and they feel like I have weights on them. Can this be
a side effect of being on the prednisone? I started out on 40mg a day for five weeks,then 20mg for a few weeks, to 10mg every other day. I am so tired of feeling tired. When I first got out of the hospital on the higher dosage I had so much energy and I felt good, the moment that the dosage was
reduced I started going down hill. I have been more depressed but I think it's because I feel so bad.

I started at 25mcg, then my doc raised it to 75 mcg. I had no trouble before other than lab results were high. With meds I had a few problems. With increased dose I have nervousness, feel almost like I am on speed when the meds kick in for about 7 hours, then I am so tired I can't keep my eyes open. I have a ravenous appetite and yet, have lost 15 lbs. Not good since I only weigh 125. I have terrible abdominal pain, sweating, a lot of hair loss, leg cramps and headaches (something I never get). My doc wants to raise me to 88mcg. I don't think so!
What else can I take? I am checking into natural stuff now.

I am 26 years old and have been on toprol xl for 7 years. I started on 50 mg and now my doctor has increased the dosage to 200mg. I am exhausted 24-7, I have joint pain so bad I can hardly function. i can't even hardly keep up on my housework and I can't work. My hair is falling out and has for 2 years now. I have no sex drive which is ruining my marriage. I just had bloodwork done and my tryglyceride level is 915 which it is suppose to be below 150. I just saw an article that said beta blockers will raise tryglycerides(which is fat in your blood). Also I still have high blood pressure, rapid heart rate, chest pains, palpatations, and "episodes" where i become really hot, pale, nauseated, have severe chest pains, cant move, and weird heart beats and my doctor doesnt know whats wrong. My doctor puts me on a special diet and tells me to exercise. I eat better than most people and still weigh 200 lbs. and I am 5 feet tall. I try to exercise but I am so tired and hurt so much, it is just about impossible for me to do. I felt this way for many years and my doctor doesnt seem to care. she blows me off when i keep telling her how I feel. I didnt even really know toprol could cause such harsh side effects. and now that i know that is why i feel so bad I cant do anything about it because i tried one time to get off the toprol for one day and almost ended up in the hospital because of how bad i felt(my heart)

i am up every night i am so tired and cranky i can not sleep i am having shortess of breath. i am crying every time i urinate it burns with yeast infection and diareah. never again.

I was diagnosed with angina two weeks ago..I was put on Lisinopril and Lopressor..After ONE week I cannot STOP coughing..it is so bad I now have an earache and pain in the back of my head and neck. I took a nitro pill and it did not help which rules out an angina attack..Doctor on called tonite told me to STOP the lisinopril which is most likely causing this cough. I've been up two nites from coughing. I am so tired. I can't sleep...I am in so much pain...how can I ever tell if I'm having an angina attack or heart attack. I will be seeing a cardiologist next week to discuss treatment......what's up with this medication????????
