Kitchen floor symptoms and conditions

I have been taking Keflex, 500mg, for about 4 days now, in that time I have since developed a lack of appetite, I have lost my job, my roommate stole my favorite shoes and walked through puddles, my normal sure handedness has disappeared resulting in me dropping 4 eggs on the kitchen floor, my toes are swelling to the point that flip flops are not an option... AND coke tastes like Pepsi...

All of this to treat a sinus infection. I will never take this medicine again.

I am so happy to have found that many others are experiencing the same things...I have gone CRAZY!!!! I almost started anti-depressants and was scheduled to see a psychiatrist next week because I have totally changed emotionally and sexually. I had a great sex drive and was always happy go lucky....after some thought I starting researching this Mirena...and I think this may be the root of my unhappiness. Plus all these other side effects!....

~Tired all the time
~ Depression
~ Hungry all the time
~ leg cramps
~ hair loss
~ oily skin and bad breakouts
~ No period ..ever
~ Mood swings (huge...yelling fits at my husband and the kids)
~ light stomach & back cramps for weeks at a time

Best of Luck to all of you~I am getting this thing taken out ASAP!

I was put on Yaz when i was between 19-20 also and after only 6 days on it i had to stop it. I had horrible mood swings, depression to the point i plotted my own death (scary!), paranoia, serious abdominal and calf cramping, as well as headaches, nausea, fatigue, and serious fits of crying for unknown reasons. My boyfriend walked in one day to find me collapsed and hysterically crying on my kitchen floor with no known reasoning behind why i was crying except for the fact that i dialed the wrong number to order pizza...Yaz's side effects, still effect me today and have ultimately ruined my relationship because of serious mood swings, paranoia, and excessive fatigue. Despite that i only took Yaz for 6 days it still greatly effects my life. if you ever find a class action suit against them let me know and ill be right there next to you!

I was 19 years old when I was put on Yaz. About 1 year after using Yaz, I had my gallbladder removed. My gallbladder was diseased and the doctor told me if I was to wait any longer it could have possibly ruptured. Then 3 months later I had a softball cyst removed from my right ovary, and use told that I now have endometriosis. Then 6 months after that i had another cyst the size of a grapefruit removed. I am going to school for nursing and while on the Yaz pill I always thought I was a failure and that I would never make it through the nursing program. I was always having mood swings, depression, bad headaches, stomach problems, bad back pains, and ovarian cyst always popping up and growing. If someone could please let me know how to contact someone about the class action lawsuit it will be very helpful. Thank you

I just had Mirena inserted on Oct. 21, only three days ago. The pain wasn't to bad, just very crampy. I had to concentrate on making sure I wasn't holding my breath due to the discomfort. It otherwise went well, quick. Mine was inserted by a nurse practitioner. She wanted me to come in and have it inserted during my time of the month. She said it goes in much more smoothing that way for a couple of reasons, moisture acts as a lubricant, and during our cycles, our cervix dilates slightly. I was at the beginning of my period when I went to have it put it. Just spotting waiting for the gates to break loose. I still am just a little heavier than a spot, my period has yet to come full force, cramping like it wants too though. The past two days, I have had the worst mood swings. Feels very similar to the baby blues. I am hoping this is just my body adjusting to the hormones and it will subside as I had postpartum depression after my daughter was born (4yr). After my son (6mos) I was ok, just baby blues for a couple weeks and I was back to my old self. With my history though, it scares me, I don't want to experience that feeling again. I have been getting very angry over little things the past couple days as well. Almost uncontrollable. I came home and found that our cat had got in our blinds and broke a slat (I guess that is what I can call it) I was so mad, I kicked her and she slid across the kitchen floor. I felt so horrible and guilty after. That is so not like me. I would just ordinarily scold her and forget about it. I am worried that it is going to get worse. Ever since I have had Mirena placed, I have noticed these changes and it seems to be increasing each day. Like I said, I have a 6 mos baby and my husband is deployed. The last thing I would want is a Dr to dismiss my side effects. I already have a stressful life situation right now, if this makes it harder for me and my family, it is going to have to go.

Hi ladies,

I'm a 20 year old girl and I've been on Yasmin for just over a year now and it has hands down been the WORST YEAR OF MY LIFE. I started taking it for extreme menstrual cramps that would leave me screaming on the kitchen floor, curled up in a ball begging for the pain to stop. Yasmin fixed that, trust me it was like a miracle, and my acne on my face and back cleared up, another miracle.

Now the bad stuff. The first month was okay, because sometimes it takes time for the hormones to take affect. But I became severely depressed thereafter. It just started happening, crying all the time, hopeless, binge eating, gaining a lot of weight. And on top of that the GI problems, my stomach literally ballooned out to the size of a watermelon, and everything I ate irritated me. But a few months ago I became bulimic in a drastic attempt to get control back of my life, I hadn't even thought of the pill as the culprit up until this point. Keep in mind that I'm young, fit, have a great family, in school, there's no reason for my to be falling so low.
I started seeing a therapist, then a psychiatrist. I was this close to being put on antidepressants. And then something happened, my years worth prescription of Yasmin ran out so my OBGYN told the pharmacy to refill my prescription but with the generic brand, Ocella, that they had available which would only cost me 10 dollars a month with health insurance. Within four days I felt like my old self. Happy. I couldn't believe it. I went to a physician for tests and everything seemed normal, but after explaining to her my severe stomach problems she told me that it seemed like the pill induced me to become lactose intolerant. Wonderful!
So I started the second pack of Ocella a week ago and it all started happening again. The first month was fine again, but my body had caught up by now and even though I've cut dairy out, my stomach has ballooned up again and I have heartburn and indigestion no matter what I eat. Yesterday I felt insanely depressed, I binged, became insanely nauseous and threw up. I didn't leave the couch once. Now I know that it may sound like I need to reevaluate my problems, but I promise you, THIS IS NOT ME. I've realized that Ocella is exactly what it is, the generic version, and hence chemically the same as Yasmin, so the effects will mirror Yasmin's. MY OBGYN told me to finish the pack, and then I can come off them, and I cannot begin to explain how excited I am. I'm done with pills, and I'll find another way to deal with the pain.

Please, if you're taking birth control for something like acne, reconsider, it's not worth it. We are the experimental age. We can't ask our grandmothers what the long terms affects are. But if you must be on it and are feeling badly in any way, switch! You might find something better for you.

My husband just flushed my pills last night... I just started my fifth pack. He said - and I agree - that I became terribly depressed, anxious and bitchy. I'd be fine one moment, and lashing out for no reason the next. Or sit on the kitchen floor and cry my heart out. Add to it feeling very sad most of the time and extremely irritable.

All you are Hypochondriacs. If one person says this medicine is causing this, then of course; you all have the same problem "some how." Isn't this weird? It is called the "placebo effect." Normally all the people involved in the testing are given "Lisinopril" (or some other drug), then the placebo group is given a vitamin supplement, the group receving the vitamin supplement is being told they are receving "Lisinopril." Mysteriously?, the "placebo group" is all feeling better and their symptoms are gone. This is due to the fact that all these people in the "placebo group" have interacted with eachother and have told eachother "I feel better" than of course everybody feels better. So WEIRD!! So, my point is this forum is all your peoples "placebo group." If you guys never heard of these side effects from this forum you would have never experinced them. Hypochondriacs all of you are. This is a very good medicine that is helping all of you make up for your peoples lack of self-disipline to control your diet or exercise enough to lower your blood pressure naturally. So be thankful. Lets not complain about false side effects because John has them. I wonder what the side-effects of that cheese burger are that caused high blood pressure. It is funny, I don't see a forum for that. So deal with your so called "side-effects" that are associsted with "Lisinopril" or go on a diet people. Get over it!!

i was taking lipitor for 2 weeks and that is when all my problems starting coming up the side effects that i had was right lower back pain it hurt really bad and about 1 week ago i past out on my kitchen floor due to it and i have really bad swelling i gained 20 pounds in 2 weeks and that is JUST IN 2 WEEKS!!!!!!!!!

In July of 2003 I recieved my 2nd round of injections after BEGGING not to have then again. I had them 8 years ago for endometerosis, but after 6 laps, it just grows right back in a matter of weeks. No meds seem to easy my suffering, except when a sympothtic docter gives a script for a pain killer from time to time. The depression hit like a brick wall, i was thrown into the pits of hell emotionaly over night. They started adding more lupron for the increased pain and I lost it. I sat on my kitchen floor with a scaple and made a decision i'm sure I would never had made with out that shot running my life, it was me or the endometreosis that night. So I cut right down into my own belly looking for it. Now, i'm an educated for the most part stable woman, and this shot made me ragging crazy. I thought, women need to know that these hormons are not meant to be taken lightly. Has any one else lost there marbles while on this? I since have had migrains that land me in the ER, and have gotten my scrupples back, but for three months. I was not me. And to tell you the trueth, only the good Lord got me through. I was recentley aproved for a hysterectomy, but was told that the effects of that would equal that of the lupron. Think about it hard befor you bend over and take that shot.............
