Kgs symptoms and conditions

its been 3 months now since i quit the drug and i still have ringing in the ears that comes and goes. bouts of depression are still there and i have loose stools occasionally. i have lost a lot of weight. 5-6 KGs in 3 months. my appetite is back to normal but i still feel like i am not fully recovered strength wise. just started taking probiotics and multi-vitamins. totally changed my diet to natural fruits and vegetables and meat occasionally.
The brain-Fog was horrible. thank god it cleared in a month's time.
every doctor i go to and when i tell them about the brain-fog lasting for a month. they don't believe me.
anyone would like to add tips on recovery process. it will be much appreciated.
thanks all.

I had the Mirena inserted about 2 years ago. i have always been slim and have now put on 17 kgs. Even after my third child i still went back to my normal weight.I walk 4 days a week ( Approx 5 klms) and eat healthily but still cant shift the weight going to my doctor to have the damn thing removed. When i think about it i have been more emotional since having it inserted.

I have been on lantus for a while..the first few months were perfect...good HbA1c's. Then all hell broke loose...my sugars started fluctuating, HbA1c always above 8%, added 15 kgs...especially around my abdomen and am always bloated. Am really tired of people asking when am due..and am not even pregnant..just on LANTUS!!!

HI - I had my Mirena removed yesterday. I had it inserted on Valentines Day 2006 - so 2 and a half years. A week after having it inserted I woke up one morning sweating and shaking like a mad woman....also starting Vomiting and then fainted. I went to my OB/Gyn and he told me that I had a virus and it was nothing to do with the mirena...Hmmm???? In hindsight (yes I know hind sight is 20/20) I have to say I am sure that I didn't have a virus - I think it was some kind of shock reaction to the Mirena - 12 weeks after having it put in I threw my boyfriend out - he just started getting on my nerves!!!....and every month or so I have been getting a severe dry swollen throat they have been getting progressively worse over the past 2 years - once again my doctor told me it was nothing to do with the Mirena, but that I had reflux...or allergies....The reflux medication that I took for a year nearly stopped my natural stomach acid production - so I swelled up (was it the reflux medication or the Mirena?? or Both?) About a year ago I stopped the reflux meds and concentrated on Allergies....at first it seemed to help - I think it was wishful thinking - last month my throat was so dry I could hardly swallow....as I said yesterday I had the thing removed - today my tongue is tingling strangely, but I have a feeling that it is actually trying to go back to normal....here's hoping!!!!
One more thing - I started exercising in Dec 2007....have lost about 5 kgs but for the amount of work I have done, it is nothing. I really hope that now that it is out, I will start to show something for the fitness regime I have been on the past 9 months.
I'm scared of the crash that will probably come on Saturday or Sunday - I started taking 5HTP last week in preparation - I hope it helps.

Hey everyone,

I was on Seroquel since I was 19 years old and after a year and a half my doctor told me to quit, but the hallucinations and schizo feelings came back in a month. I spent 3 month constantly broke down in a hospital! Than I had Ziprexa and gained20 kgs and the doctor gave me Seroquel again. I lost 10 kgs immediately and I am very happy with 150 mg for night but - I can not lose weight - the remaining 10 kgs by any chance!!!!! And today they measured my cholesterol, and it is HIGH- 6,8 ! What is yours?

Has anyone experience with pregnancy and seroquel? Because I want to have kids and am not sure wheather to take like 50 mg or take off it - I am scared. But if you feel really TIRED in the morning, it helps when you take smaller dose.

I will be happy if you answer, Lenka from Prague

I had the Mirena fitted in April 2005 because of bad pms and heavy periods. I thought it was great at first not to have the periods, and the pms noticeably subsided for a good 18 months. By that stage I'd put about 4 kgs on, which was starting to niggle me. I worked really hard to keep my weight stable. During the next months up till removal 2 weeks ago I experienced aching joints, particularly back and knees, loss of libido, tiredness, the return of the pms symptoms, and acne as bad as I'd had it as a teenager. When I went to see a dermatologist, it was he who pointed out that this was a major side effect of the Mirena, so when I searched on this on the internet, I was amazed how many women had got the same problems as me. I had started thinking that now I'm 42 I must be over the hill or something.
I had it removed 2 weeks ago, and although my weight hasn't changed, I feel lighter on my feet. My back ache has gone, and I feel much more energetic.
I know other women who have the Mirena and have not been affected in the slightest by these negative symptoms. I guess it's just the way your body reacts. Fortunately I didn't need to ask twice to get it removed, since I understand some gyne's seem to reject the connection between the symptoms and the Mirena. Problem is, it's difficult to find a birth control that suits me. I'm definitely leaving the hormones alone in future.

never have this put in.i had mine put in after my 9th child,that was in feb 2006,since then i have put on about20 kgs,had bad pains in my side,felt sick and had spotting for a week either side of my period.in may 2008 i choose to get it taken out thats when the dr said he cant see the strings.after seeing three different doctors all saying they cant find them i was sent to a gyn who also had a look and tried to get it out but couldn't.sent for an ultrasound that showed it was still there so i was booked in for surgery.when i came out of surgery the gyn told me that the iud arm hadn't came open and it had gone into my fallopian tube.please don't do this to yourself.there were also mood swings and loss of sex drive.

I have been on risperdal for 12 years and it has improved my life greatly. I was a paranoid schizophrenic who was thin. I have gained more than 50 kgs but now on a diet which is losing it. I have experienced anxiety but it is far better than it was when I was sick. I have my life back again and am more social and happy. I am able to study and working is still a problem, as I have a little problem in learning new things and remembering and I am a lot less verbal and articulate than I was. It has slowed my thought processes down. I still get strange thoughts from time to time, and my dream activity has become very strange. It is like a sequel each night and the dreams seem real and with the same characters. It has made life interesting. I have also developed phobias and obsessions. Not sure if this is part of the illness or the side effects though. I have noticed I am much more calmer after the tablets than I was before and a lot less emotional. There are some things I have to work at but I have learnt how to overcome my fears gradually and work with them. Overall, I could not imagine my life without it. I tried to go off it and it was far worse as the illness came back again.

weight gain started almost immediately i gained 20 kgs during both pregnancies on zoloft. Although my anxiety/panic and outbursts of uncontrollable anger, and irrational thought patterns all stabilized remarkably on zoloft I have NO interest in sex, and uncontrollable urge to drink alcohol and I cannot stop until i pass out. Also, void of emotion ...haven't cried in years despite traumatic events that have included the deaths of grandparents, a divorce in the family and a miscarriage. Each time I try to go off this stuff I end up experiencing amplified symptoms of my original problems as well as severe depression and paranoia so I get scared and go back on it.

My Mirena Removal....
So i posted here a few weeks ago after I found this site. I had EVERY side effect listed and was so freaked out that i immediately made an appointment for removal.
For those of you reading and wondering what the removal is like..
Well, NOTHING like the insertion. I was so so nervous and it was over before we actually started. The DR was surprised that i was back in his office to have this removed. He then proceeded to do an ultrasound to be sure it was placed properly before removal. And yes, all was OK on the position of it. I explained to him my reasons and he looked at me like he had never heard this before. I honestly can not imagine with all the women he sees that NONE of them have complained. But...as I was getting dressed afterwards, I took a good look in his office. There was Mirena literature ALL over the place. In fact, that was the ONLY thing he was advertising. Not to mention...they made me pay up front with the insertion back in Nivember...billed my insurance and I still have yet to receive my reimbursement. Oh yeah, and that...they charge more than the actual Mirena costs, then they bill your insurance for the price they know they will pay and the DR then makes about $150 profit. Nice.
Ok, back to my side effects post Mirena. The removal was not painful at all. I did spot for about a week- nothing too heavy but it was clotty and def there.
A couple of days after the removal it felt like I was coming out of my skin something terrible. I figured this was my body adjusting to the lack of hormones. I also had some headaches.
It has now been 2 weeks and the spotting has disappeared. I also can see the bloating of my stomach is starting to go away. It looked like I was about 4 mos preggo while I was on it. I also have an increased sex drive. And sleep-- well let me tell you, I have not slept this good in a very long time. I am actually sleeping more than 6 hours now and the night sweats have also discontinued.
I can't believe EVERY time I come to this site and look up Mirena ALL the people that have posted their experience as being negative. Yet, the DR looks at me like I am crazy! I have been seeing him for years and I have never complained about something like this. I really am so happy that I have it out and wish I would have done my research on this prior to insertion (which was one of the most painful things ever!)
So..for those of you out there that are either contemplating having it inserted...I say NO WAY. And for those of you out there that are nervous about the removal or not sure..I SAY YES, DO IT! For our bodies to be reacting this way, it is clear to me that it should not be inside of us. Listen to your bodies...they really do speak to you and let you know when something is not right. Forget about the DR saying it is safe or he has not heard of any of these side effects...YOU be the judge.
Good luck! And I promise it gets better once you get that lil' demon out!

Ladies!
When my mum pointed out this website, and blogs bout Yasmin,
and after reading just a few,
i bursted out crying.

after just 3 months on Yasmin
i was completely, utterly depressed.
being a 15 year old then, it was the worst thing
in the world.
i am a highly trained athlete,
and this pill made me gain over 7 kgs.

training 8 times a week, and 3 dryland,
and STILL packing on the kgs was
unimaginable.
i became completely self conscious,
and stopped eating for days on end.
training suffered, but my muscles and body
suffered more.
all my muscles got completely fatigued and
i lost most of my fast-twitch muscle fibers.

apart from this i obtained a COMPLETE
Fluid retention in every part of my body.
thighs and face the worst.
i couldnt move my joints very freely,
and nothing would let this go.

the absolute worst part was the depression
and anxiety that came from this all.
i remember having 2 weeks off school,
and all i did, was stay home, in bed and cry.
i broke up with my boyfriend, and didn't want
a n y o n e to care about me, i even made a list,
of everyones names and crossed them
off as they hated me.
i cut myself, and hurt myself, especially on my legs
where my mind just hated seeing them,
and feeling this way.
could NOT stand being in my swim-wear during training,
i would run out, and cry if i saw someone look at me.
paranoia.

to feel this out of control with your own body,
is the worst feeling in the world.

i would cry.
everyday. every night.
and i couldnt stop.
i would be moody, and angry, and hopeless,
and start verbal fights everywhere i went.

and i didn't even know why.

after reading this all,
suddenly, everything made sense.
my doctor, told me, in specific words

"they call this the 'luxury pill' its the most expensive,
and has least side effects than any of the others."

i showed her this website.

after i went off it, i had the three day blues,
mum said, just like after pregnancy.
i cried, and cried and cried.
would be sitting in class, and bursted out in tears.
things were horrible.

its now about 6 months later, of not being on anything,
my periods just began back after not having them
for 4 months, and my body, is no where
near how it was before i went on pill,
but its getting there :)

one day I'm going to be an amazing swimmer.
and on the Australian team.

i guess, if i had not had this experience
i would never be this determined now.

I Would NEVER Recommend This Pill
To Any Girl Or Woman.

EVER.

Its Amazing What One
TINY Little Pill Can Actually Do To You.

stay strong girls,
x x x

for any other questions. :)

I am 61 years old and weigh 79 Kgs. i am 175 cms tall. I was given Azotik - 500 one a day for three days. It contains Azithromycin Dihydrate 500 mg. On the 2nd day of my taking this I noticed drops of blood soon after masturbation which i first thought to be due to a colour in the oil that I used as lubricant. On the 3rd day of medication I could see more of blood which again i thought to be due to the oil. But I also suspected that it may be blood from urine. So i watched urine for three days and found no color. So as a cross check on the 6th day I masturbated again and to my dismay I saw blood was spurting out along with semen. I am deeply worried. please advice me on this.
