Indegestion symptoms and conditions

I am 26 years old 5'5'' and 186lbs. I started using it on Feb. 4, 2009- not many side effects that I noticed immediately. I thought it was great for the fact I didn't have to take a pill each day. I however did experience right off the bat discomfort during sex and I wear contacts and some days they were just so dry. Normal side effets that you can read in the pamphlet I thought. During March and April I left it in for a extra day or two and resumed usage as normal after my period. During March I started to get very bad stomach cramps/burning pains in my abdomen and excessive burping. I went to the Doctor (someone new that I am in transition to be my regular doc--knows nothing about me really) he said it was just indigestion that caused the stomach pains. He put me on Omezaprole. I took it a few times and of course had side effects from that(felt like my skin was crawling). However my stomach issues went away. About 2 weeks ago I started to notice muscle twitches mostly in my legs and cramps too which I normally don't get unless I have exercised a lot. Then within the last week I have felt very withdrawn, like on autopilot, anxious, twitchy, tired, like I am not myself, severe headaches, confusion and not really knowing what to say next during conversation. I have had panic attacks and can deal with them but nothing like the ones in the last two weeks.Today at work I thought I just might freak out and go on a rage. Its passed but I still feel very touchy Iike I might cry at any moment. Normally very outgoing and adventurous. But now I don't really feel like doing anything except being alone and by myself with a phone near in case my body starts acting more bizarre. So to sum it up I came upon this website and found enough women with the same issues and side effects and enough non-medically proven reason to take the NuvaRing out. So I told my husband that that's what I am doing. He said he hasn't really noticed my mood changes. However a friend I saw the other day said I just seemed very sad and down. A side note to consider I have a identical twin sister and she doesn't have the same side effects. She and I spoke and her biggest complaint is weight gain.

anybody having heartburn? i've had so many symptoms now, i don't know whats mirena and whats not!
sex drive is slowly dwindling away, that is not like me at all, but then its hard to feel sexy when i'm bleeding all the time and my nether regions smell not to pretty. lol.
other side effects to date are
depression, anxiety, agitated, joint pain, constant bleeding, unpleasant smells, low libido, pains under ribs (not sure if down to mirena)

I have been on Welchol about 21/2 months. I have bloating and lots of gas.indegestion, acid reflux, headache in back of head. I thought was a sinus headache. Not sure now. Just called my Dr. about blood work after reading all remarks.Watch out for the other drugs, especially Crestar. My muscles were breaking down into my blood stream with that and I had to go through some painful tests to make sure threr was no permanet damage. Zocor,Mevacor,Lipitor all caused muscle weakness as did all of the statins. So please get to your Drs. if you experience any of these.
thanks, NLC

I was taking doxycycline for about a month and one night experienced really bad indegestion (or thats what it felt like). After that it got worse. It casued me to have such bad acid reflux that it had begun to destroy my esophogus. I couldn't eat anything with any type of acid or texture and finally had to go to the doctor and get on medication. Now I am having to have an upper GI done to look for ulcers that were created, and I still am not able to eat reguarly.

I have not experienced any hair loss or weight gain with this drug. I take Depakote 250 milligrams 3x per day for migraine headaches. Once in the morning, and two in the evening. What I do get is an unbelievable case of indegestion. I always make it a point to eat when taking this medication. I was also wondering if anyone has had a decrease, in thier sexual desire ? Being on this drug? any comments would be greatly appreciated

I have been on Advair 500/50 for 3 years now. I have so many of the already mentioned symptoms which include a 40 lb. weight gain, the horrendous foot cramps that last about 15 minutes and can happen as often as they feel like it. I also have the heartburn, indegestion and very dry mouth. My doctor has never mentioned that my foot cramps were due to this medicine, he has tested everything to see why. I have decided no more!! I am tired of looking and feeling horrible, I feel like the goodyear blimp. Before I started taking this medicine I weighed in at 98 lbs for over 20 years Now I am at a whopping 147, can anyone tell me once you stop this medicine how fast does the weight and other symptoms go away?

Wow - I cannot believe what i am reading. I am taking Periostat (2 pills daily each containing 23.08mg Doxycycline hyclate equivalent to 20mg doxycycline) for my teeth and have noticed that at the same time, my adult acne cleared also. However I have felt the following: sudden weakness, light-headedness, nausea, indegestion, shaky hands, stomach cramps, pains in my lower leg, numbness in my right arm from shoulder to hand, itchy eyes, slight pressure behind my eye and even a severe itchy bottom yesterday. Also, I have recently felt like there is something inside my vagina especially when I sit down but I think this couldn't possibly be related could it? There are probably more things but not all at the same time. This has been over a period of three months and I thought I was being a hypochondriac. Could the pills really cause all this?

I am in my 4th month of taking Yasmin. It was reccommended from a girl that I know at work and also my boyfriend's sister takes it. I have heard lots of good things about it. I started having anxiety problems, hot flashes, headaches, and I even tried to wear my new contacts, but I can't...it's like my eyes rejected them or something, and this is a side effect listed in the information packet that comes with a new package of Yasmin...about 2 months ago. I was taking Nexium for the first 2 months while on the pill and I assumed that it was the combination of both. Well, I started feeling better with my indegestion and stopped taking the Nexium. My hot flashes went down by half. (I would normally have about 3 or 4 a day.) Now, it's about 1 or 2 day, or every other day. After stopping the Nexium, I started getting antsy, depressed, crying at the drop of a hat, crying because I lost a dern poker hand with my boyfrend, anything and everything made me upset. I haven't experienced that for about 2 weeks now. Now, in the 4th month of taking Yasmin, my breast have become tender...very tender. Even my nipples hurt. I have this pulling sensation in my abdomen. I don't know whether I'm pregnant or what. I've never been before, so I don't know what I should feel like. I also have Fybroid Cysts Disease. I've experienced that for about 5 years now, but I haven't had any problems with new ones for about a year or so. Anyway, I was reading the other ladies' postings and I'm wondering if my side effects are from this pill. I'll probably go to the doctor next week if my breasts are still tender and if I have this pulling sensation in my abdomen. I will post again and give an update on what the doctor about all of the above and y'all's postings, too. Thanks and I hope everyone gets back to normal! -Melissa

Thanks everyone, this site has been so helpful to me.
I didn't make the connection with my side effects and Yasmin. I attributed all of them to something else. I have had anxiety, severe stomach pain, bloating (like I was pregnant), bad indigestion and horrible gas (yuck), my breasts are bigger and sore all the time, no matter what I do I can't seem to drop this extra 5 pounds (I eat very healthy and work out 5-6 times a week), my chin breaks out constantly (although other areas have cleared up), and oddly the area above my lip has darkened (even though I get my lip waxed regularly and have light hair). I had my first yeast infection in my life on Yasmin, which I've been taking for 4 months.

I found a reason for all of these things until my stomach started cramping and bloating so bad (in addition to the gas...constantly), that I was in tears. I called my mom (a nurse practioner) and she suggested it might be the Yasmin. Then I found this website and am not going to take another pill. Thank goodness, I found this out. My gyno said to make an appointment with the gastrointerologist and that it might be an ulcer or IBS. I can't wait to be normal again.
