Ive been symptoms and conditions

WOW!!!. I'm in my 40s.. Ive been on various Bcp for about 10yrs due to a fibroid that causes me to bleed too much and I got anemic. I have been on Yasmin for a year-- and didn't like it so the Dr, suggested I try Yaz. So I did for 6 months.WHOA!! Major muscle tightness that got progressively worse-so much that I couldn't even bend over to tie my shoes. I ached all over, headaches and tired. I also had muscle cramps at the least provocation. I notice that the weeks I had my period and wasn't taking the pill daily, I felt much better. IM very athletic and as a former dancer was very flexible. Ive been of about a week and a half and really feel a difference already. I think Ill Detox and see what my body does. This is crazy.. Anyone else have this???

Ive been on Zoloft for 2 days and the first day I took it I had bad Diarrhea and my teeth hurt they feel like I had them clenched all night long and I can barley eat. Ive been getting gas,nausea, and I feel faint and like I'm going to throw up. I'm on the Zoloft for Anxiety, is this normal or could it not be related to the Zoloft and I have something other than the anxiety????

Hey, I was on this pill for 3 years and over the last year and a half I have had chest problems, developing into heart palpitations over the last couple of months, I had to have a heart monitor on for a week and had the results today, my heart is perfectly healthy it was in fact the YASMIN tablets!!
So today my doctor has changed my pill and said I should notice a difference in the next month or so.
Not only was I having chest problems and heart palpitations, I have been told I was so snappy and grumpy, I was tired most of the time, always felt weepy and generally down in the dumps.
My advice, try this tablet as it may be different for you but a lot of people on here have had similar symptoms.
GOODBYE YASMIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been on this nr for 1 month now. this is my period week. I haven't gotten it yet which kinda worries me but I have all the signs of it coming. I have had nausea, headaches an dizziness and increased discharge but nothing to big.NO SPOTTING! the only thing is when I took the nr out I noticed yesterday that my discharge smelled a little different than usual, but today its better. I didn't think I have been irritable except last week which was my PMS week. it hasn't killed my sex drive. it is about the same. I have noticed my boobs getting a little bigger. my boyfriend has only felt the nr one time so thats great.Ii like the idea of only 1 thing every 3 weeks. hopefully these symptoms will go away except for the boob thing. I have had cramps but nothing I couldn't handle with a ill Advil.

the more and more i read about this pill im amazed at how many "little" things ive been having and wondering now if this is the pill. Itching. I have been itching like crazy and thought it was dry skin from the cold weather but thought it was strange my skin didnt look dry. this is just too much back pain , inability to sleep, is all of this worth the trouble? not for me. I want the old me back and we'll just continue to use condoms.

I've been on Balziva for a month and a half and I'm drowsy, dizzy, and having 2 periods a month. This stuff is really not working well for me.

i am on my last pack of pills for yasmin. my gyn put me on loestrin starting next month. i hope i have a better experience with that than yasmin. at first i didnt notice any side effects at all. then within the past couple of months (ive been on yasmin for about 6 months) i have noticed so many problems.
i am prone to migraines, but i am getting migraines at least twice a week which has severely effected my work and school life.
i had an ear infection.
ive gained close to 20 lbs (!!!!!) when in the past few months my lifestyle has been healthier and more active than it was when i started this pill. it just doesnt make sense to gain so much when i have improved my lifestyle..
i find i am moody and depressed, if something bad happens, even if its something little, i either get so uncontrollably angry or sad and i cry all the time. im not normally this emotional, ive even cried at work. its so embarrassing.
ive also noticed that after any meal i feel like i am extremely bloated and my stomach starts hurting. it doesnt matter what kind of food, it could be healthy, greasy, veggies, or cereal..no matter what my stomach always hurts to much afterwards.
i am also getting night sweats and horrible back pain, especially when i go to bed.
i am gassy, and my cramps last for my whole period. none of those things ever happened before i was on this pill.
my libido went down, however i think this is due to the weight gain. i have never felt so disgusting in my whole life.
i have gone through many pills, and the nuvaring as well. none of them have had side effects on me as yasmin.
does anyone have any suggestions for other pills for me to try? i am willing to give loestrin a chance, especially because it is a lo dose pill..and i know that everyones bodies are different. i just feel so lost..i hope this new pill works out better.

I just started taking this pill about 4 days ago, the first day I took it I was extremely moody and nautious leading to me throwing up blood. For the past few days Ive been taking it, it just gives me terrible stomach pains.

i was put on tenormin in 1988 for av node block and border line high blood preasure.started off taking 25mg a day .now im taking 50mg two times a day.im tired all the time. my legs hurt.my hands stay cold.but ive heard u cant just stop taking tenormin .ive been taking it 20 years.have seen myself just go down.

Just resently I have noticed that I am picking up pregnacy symptomes. I feel light headed, nausea, and dizziness. My breast have began leaking when I cleaning them, and they are very sore all the time. I did notice last week, I was crying uncontrollably for a long period of time for no reason at all. My body always seems bloated, and I feel like I'm gaining weight. I can say that because I have exercised and at healthier than I ever have. Oh my gosh, the night sweats are out of control not to mention gross. I have not had headaches, but have been feeling like I'm coming down with something. I also have not been able to get "in the mood". Which I am a newlywed, and that is just not working for me or my husband. Also, the discharge is almsot like it just gushes out. I think after this month I'm going to take it out. I want to feel like my normal self again.

its my 3rd day off Paxil and Klonazepam now. ive been experiencing these weird withdrawal symptoms once before and know how sick i was so now i took 7 days off work. i am definitelly not able to function as a normal human being as of now. feel light headed, confused, dizzy, my musles twich, am easily irritaed , cant sleep at night, sweat a lot. i bike a lot since day one off pills to help me get my mind off what im going through. it works. it worked first time, it works again. its nice fall in austin texas, not hot, not cold.i bike for hours, 4,5,, with ipod in my ears. it helps me get through the day easily, and detox faster. i just hope ill be ready to work before next monday because nonone knows whats up with me. i remember, the first time took me about 5 days for the w/d syptoms to disapear.

I started with 25 mg for migraines and upped dosage by 25mg pweek for 4 weeks till I reached 100 mg per day. Right away this didnt work because you cant half the pills because the taste will kill you. but once I adjusted to the 50 mg it was ok. There are side effects. I have cured my life long addiction to coca cola. I can no longer drink soda, it tastes gross, really vile, and I have lost almost twenty pounds sfter one month. The no soda gave me incentive, so I have been dieting, but the topamax only seems to help. I have only had one migraine this month, on the monring of my periods arrival. This hasnt happened in twenty years. Ive been on all sorts of meds throughout the years. I love topamax. I have had some other side effects. I am diagnosed as bipolar, and do not take medicine because the depakote made me a zombie. Life has been much easier, although on the days I up my dosage I was a bit hyperemotional. Nothing too bad though. I was, however, unable to drink two glasses of wine on this medication. I did have some spacey moments, and tingly fingers as well. Like I said before, nothing compared to Depakote, and nothing that I wouldnt trade for ONe hormonal migraine a month. I love this stuff.

hi im 19 and im on the second week of my second pack. so far, ive been very happy with loestrin. this is my first time ever on bc. i dont think ive gained any weight (and if i have its been about 2-3) and my face has broken out a little bit... the only major problem that i am experiencing is a loss of period... i was supposed to get it about a week ago but all i had was really light bleeding for about 2 or 3 days. it was REALLY light. i guess that was it? i know i cant be pregnant because ive still been using condoms and none have faile, so im not really nervous about that. ive never missed a pill but i was late taking it one or two days. has anyone else experienced the loss of period?

After reading all your comments here on this website, all I can say is "Thank God, I'm not the only one!" I thought I was going crazy or something. I was on Yasmin for a couple years & loved it! Then I lost my insurance & my doctor gave me some free samples of Femcon Fe. The first month I got acne, severe headaches, moodswings, was terribly nauseous & had trouble keeping food down. Now I'm on the final, 3rd month & I can't eat enough! I'm always hungry (especially for chocolate), I've gained 5lbs, still have acne & headaches, I've experienced random spotting during the month, and now this month my period's late. Ugh! I asked my doctor to switch me to another birth control- she's switching me to Tri-Sprintec. It's offered at the Walmart Pharmacy for $9 a month, which is a lot better than the $45 I had to pay for Yasmin a month. Let's hope this Tri-Sprintec works better than Femcon Fe !!

ive had this weird fluid coming from me with blood in it almost like a light period but its been going on for a while now and my boyfriend said ever since ive been on it ive seemed depressed and not myself! anyone else feel this way?

I've been on Topamax since just Tuesday, 10/9/07. I find that I get very tired a couple hours after taking it and I have horrible nightmares and very dark thoughts, too. Diet coke tastes so HORRBILE which is bad because I loved my diet cokes, but then again I guess that's good b/c I need to stop drinking them anyway. My worst side effect is that I have horrible mood swings. Is this normal? Is this going to go away over time? Because if not, I'm going to stop taking it now. This is not like me and I am not going to subject my family to this - losing weight is not THAT important to me. Thanks for any help. :(

P. S. I'm taking 25 mg in the morning, afternoon and evening.

ive been on cymbalta for about 4 months for anxiety/ mood disorder. it controls my severe mood swings VERY well and doesnt leave me feeling robotic. the only problem i have with the drug is that it makes me feel extremely sleepy throughout the day on occasion. this is extremely annoying being a new college student with exams and lectures to have to deal with.

Hi!

I have been on Yasmin for severe hormonal imbalance because I have had very bad breakouts on my skin, very cystic acne so I was at a point where I was extremely embarresed. I got it under control but I was still breaking out and my face is of more value if you guys know what I mean.....but really what I want to say is that I feel like a snapper fish cause I'm cranky since Ive been taking Yazmin but if it is helping my skin I will have to learn to bite my tongue for a little while, but I have been getting these tension headaches too that is very irritating I am going to monitor it for awhile and then maybe have to discontinue and see if a herbal alternative might help

I would like to stop taking paxil, I have been on it for 3 yrs. When I skip my medicine I get what feels like electrical shocks in my neck & head. I wasnt sure if I had a pinched nerve at 1st but began to associate this with the event that I had not taken my meds. I also have onset of panic attacks & rapid heart, & terrible terrible forgetfulness, as to even what cabinet I would like to open, I open the wrong one, go into the wrong doorway, wrong driveway. I am very concerned. I have told my Dr. that I would like to get off this Paxil but Ive been told that it would be best since I was suffering from anxiety attacks in past. I would like to be committed to be able to handle the withdrawls. If anyone has been successful in stopping Paxil and now feels pretty back to normal, please let me know. Thanks

I've been on Doxy for 4 months now and Im lucky enough not to have this tingling of the legs and arm but i do get severe nausea, its ridiculous it gets to the point where i cant do anything but lie down and scarf saltine crackers slowly until it gets to my stomach and the Doxy bonds with it. Lately I've been noticing that I'm more tired, but mostly just in the last week and I've been on it for four months. I like to "pad" the pill, eat most of a meal , swallow the pill, and then finish the meal. I hate how inconvenient it is though, no dairy, or vitamins within 2hours, dairy is in a lot more than i once thought. Ive been sick more lately though and i can tell that just missing one day has a drastic effect on my acne :-(

Ive been on Seroquel for quite some time now, I asked my doctor too get me off. I am also on Lithium and Welbutrin. I have lost 45 pounds. Which isnt a horrible thing but with out Seroquel I am awake all the time. I stay up for days. After day three i break down and take a Seroquel and wake up with the worse body aches ever. It feels like someone beat me up with a metal bat and put me back in bed. If I don't sleep for at least 11 hours I cannot get up and function much less do any daily activities.It also makes my depression worse, on top of my lithium. The bodyaches I cannot do any more.

13 year old daughter is on lamictal for seizures. Hse has experienced the loss of memory and the muscle aches in her legs, another side affect that she has had was anger and aggitation and one day she actually got so bad she started to hit kick and bite me
anyone else have that side affect?
good luck all

Hey, has anyone experienced any other pains other than abdominal and migraines? I have just begun to get very bad pains in my upper chest area(only on the right side) that start at the bottom of my jaw bone down to the top of my abdomen and all throughout my back.. has anyone else felt this way? I'm deff extremely moody, and the migraines can sometimes last for days on end. I also started bleeding in my second week, but as soon as I started the new pack, the bleeding stopped so I'm thinking it's regulating and also keeping the Endo in control... But these chest pains are awful and I feel like sometimes I don't want to do anything strenuous due to being scared I might hurt myself - help?

Ive been on toprol 25mg for almost a year. My hair started coming out. I get sharp chest pains. I thought I was being lazy with school work and all, but I realize that it was toprol doing this to me. It was fatigue. My cardiologist took me off of it and did not replace it with anything else. This sounds odd to say the least. I thought you had to be weened off of it.

Wow I am so glad I found this site, Ive been on this crap since June 2007 and now Sept 2007 I experienced everything from swollen eyelids to the miserable chronic cough which sometimes is dry and sometimes kinda wet. It did lower my BP but after two months of coughing I've had enough and yesterday was prescribed Benicar 20mg. Does anyone have experience with Benicar?
