Last thursday symptoms and conditions

I finally had mine removed last Thursday and it was quick and painless. The doc still refused to believe any of my side effects were from the IUD - needless to say he is now on my EX-DOCTOR list! I should have printed this website for him. I had a very light cycle on Sun/Mon and then it stopped. I mentally and physically feel better. Now I can focus on losing the 40 lbs I gained over 1 year on the IUD without severe lower back pain, achy joints, bloating and acne in the way. My best friend has an IUD and 3 kids and loves it ... so go figure!! She is one of the few lucky ones.

Started taking it last Thursday, and with a previous bout with depression, and a pending ending marriage, I decided that I would go ahead and cut this off at the pass and get on some medication early. Paxil made erections difficult, so I got off of it back in 1998, and then within 5 days of taking budeprion, I am noticing the same side effects. Including what my doctor called, "the inability to finish."
Getting off of it now, wellbutrin worked in the past.

I had my Mirena put in on 9/11/08 last Thursday. I got it done on the recommendation of two of my co-workers that recently got theirs a few months ago. I had been having stomach problems, found out I have food allergies and than suddenly couldn't stomach my birth control that I had been taking for several years. Mirena seemed to be the answer. I had it put in on Thursday which hurt like hell. I was a little sore Friday and only spotting from my 2nd day on my period. By Saturday I was very sore and felt nauseous. By Sunday I was bleeding heavily, nauseous and had migraine headaches. By Monday I couldn't keep water down and had the worst headache. I called the doctor and she told me that the side effects were normal and I needed to give it time. I had read these post from Saturday and was getting worried. On Tuesday I couldn't even lift my head off the pillow. I woke up with my hands in a cramped position and couldn't feel them or my feet. I had tingling and numbness in my hands, feet and lips. I called my regular doctor who got me in right away. I had to be rolled in a wheelchair to his office because I couldn't even walk. I throw up about 4 times on the way down to hall to his office also (thankfully they had trash cans along the way). He immediately took the Mirena out and I got feeling in my hands and feet about 10 minutes later.

I was finally able to go back to work today after being out sick. I still have a dull pain on my right side around my ovaries and my stomach is very tender. I have felt like I was in a fog all day today and still a little sick to my stomach. I hope these symptoms wear off soon.

I had Mirena placed just last Thursday and I wish I hadn't. The pain was excruciating, nearly passed out. Ever since, I have been nauseous, headaches, cramping/sharp pains in lower abdomen (not like menstrual cramp) and excessively tired as well as dizzy. I will give it the three to six month trial but as of right now I would not recommend this to anyone. I should have stayed on the pill!!!!!

I am not sure if my side effect is from using Singulair or not. I just started taking the Singulair 10mg last Thursday only in the evenings. After 3 days my face was swollen to the point that I couldn't see. I went back to the doctor and he didn't think the Singulair had anything to do with it since he was treating me for a contact dermatitis chemical burn so I still continue to take the Singulair but the swelling hasn't gone away yet and it has been 3 more days. If anyone can shed some light on if this is a side effect from using Singulair it would be appreciated. I also am taking Xyzal in the mornings so therefore I am not sure if this is what caused my face to swell. Any replies would be appreciated.

I am a 38 Yrs old and I took myself off Yaz 2 nights ago after being on it for 2 weeks. I still need to call the gyno and inform her. My personality completely changed, my moods terrible, snappy and extremely short fused, i think i'm officially banned from the dunkin donuts at the end of the street after yelling at them for screwing up my order-normally i'd let it go and just get it fixed, no patience whatsoever. I'd never been on birth control before, and I'll never go on it again after this experience. I didn't even want to be with myself. I can't believe my boyfriend didn't dump me after Sunday. The side effect i find odd and worrisome the most is, and I still have, pressure in my head and throat and tongue, it's dissipating as of today but started last Thursday (about a 1.5 weeks on the yaz). Has anyone else experience the head pressure?

I have been taking Levaquin since 12th of June 2008, last Thursday. When I got up on the 16th of June, the Monday morning, I had so much pain in my leg calf that I can hardly walk. I thought it would go away but it has not. I just looked up on the internet and found this and other websites and realized it might be the Levaquin side effect. I just called the doctor who prescribed the medicine and they said they will call me back.

Oh boy! Side effects to coming off this med! UGH! I am going through them as I type! It is the most horrible way to feel! I have tried in the past on several occasions to get off this med...but never had accomplished the feat as it is nearly impossible to get through the day! At my highest dose I was taking 300 mg daily... the Dr. weaned me down slowly and now am trying just to get off of 75mg daily! I am on day 4 without Effexor xr... needless to say the side effects are getting worse instead of better!
I am experiencing: dizziness, tingly feeling in my whole body, night sweats, almost hard to do anything because I feel as if I have the flu!!!!
To anyone who is given the choice to take this med...DON"T!! Getting off of it is the hardest thing to do! In hindsight... when I am on it fully it is a great med. It helped me regain my life without panic, anxiety, depression etc... Idk... people don't understand the hell we go through with all these meds. My poor husband can't take my complaining anymore! Although either can I! I feel like going and getting a pill right now just to feel better!

Starting taking Avelox last Thursday (May 29) after having a sinus infection/pneumonia. Sunday afternoon I was watching "one flew over the cuckoo's nest. I started getting really paranoid that i was gonna loose my mind and started a panic attack and plenty of anxiety. Monday I was hanging out with my amazing girlfriend and started getting really anxious and depressed over basically nothing. Today is Wednesday and I'm really dizzy and anxious as I write this. F#$% this medicine, I'm calling my doc tomorrow to take something else... You're not going crazy, it's just the avelox. PS - Good site to find :)

Update # 2: Hi ladies, Tomorrow officially marks 1 week since i got off Loestrin. I feel soooo much better emotionally, the depression has gone away. I am however bleeding and it's not my period since i had my period 2 weeks ago. Last Thursday night i did not take the pill, when i woke up Saturday morning i was bleeding like crazy and i have been ever since. I hear its normal since my body is going through change and trying to get the hormones out of my body. I am also experiencing some breakouts on my back, chest and face which is rare for me. But i don't care as long as im no longer under high depression. I know ill be back to normal in a few weeks.
Ladies, for those of you who just began the pill loestrin and keep commenting how you have no side effects, please just be aware of any changes in the next few months.. from what ive read and ive searched the net like crazy... the depression occurs in the 3 - 5th month of the pill pack.
Good luck to all. i'll post more updates in the next coming weeks.

Has anyone had extreme dizziness? Last Thursday I had an episode of feeling like I was on an amusement ride-the room was spinning crazy. I have been on Diovan for three years, and some of the side effect listed I have experienced. I just thought it was me getting older.

black coffee-ground like discharge, cramping. i had in put in 3 days ago and am so scared after reading all these stories. I'm 24 and have 2 daughters, has anyone around my age had success with mirena????? would love to know before i consider having it removed.

I am Cody Millers mom ,the boy who died from Suicide while on Singulair for 17 days, I just wanted to say one thing to all of you that take the time to post.GO ONE STEP FURTHER CONTACT THE FDA and report to medwatch .The investigation needs evidence like your stories to help make informed decisions about this drug.The poorly orchestrated disclosing campaign that Merck had supposedly set out to accomplish in 2007, has obviously not reached the mass majority of people using this drug .Seeing now how many people did not make the connection to these HIDDEN AND DANGEROUS SIDE EFFECTS.Our child's pharmacy sheet that came with the medicine ,showed none of the updated side effects.They were added in April 2007,I filled the prescription in July 2007.Nothing had been disclosed until we put forth this effort to get the FDA's attention ,by asking the Senate and Congress to look into this matter.Go to your doctor and insist that they report YOUR SIDE EFFECTS to the company and the FDA.It is of the utmost importance.,Kate and Dave M.

I started taking 750mg of Levaquin last Thursday, March 20, 2008, for a strep throat infection that was not responding to 500 mg. of Penicillin. I took Levaquin last summer due to another bad throat infection and had absolutely no side effects. However, this time I am experiencing a raft of them, from awful insomnia and sluggishness and tiredness, to sever headaches and coughing. I suffer from depression and this is effecting my reaction to the depression medication. I am feeling more depressed.

A few days ago, my head started to hurt near my left eye, and my skull became very sensitive on the top left side, midway between the middle of the skull and my left ear. If I cough, it feels as if my head is about to explode. To make matters worse, whenever I try to speak, I start coughing , which in turn hurts my head. My head is painful to the touch.

This is awful. Can anyone help me out with some pain relief or something?

Well I started a brown discharge Last Thursday and had called my doctor to schedule my appointment for the following day to receive my shot. The weird thing was I started on my 24th day, when I always seem to start on my 35th day. That evening my husband and I had sex, normally it helps me start the heavy flow, but this time there was nothing. I went to the doctor bright eyed and bushy-tailed that morning and explained the situation. Not even two weeks before I had come in to talk about my options I was 10lbs lighter. She found it kind of odd that I gained that much weight and she thought I might be pregnant, but the pee test came back negative. So, she decided to give me the shot anyway. Well, it has been 5 days now and no spotting and definitely no flow. Just heavy discharge which I was having before the shot and bloated too. I had breast tenderness before I received the Depo-Shot, but of course it has increased sense than. I have had more back pain after sitting for long periods. I feel nauseated, but get relief after eating a small meal. Thirsty all the time and always tired. I can't say I am depressed, because I have been on Paxil and Hydroxyz for the past three months. There is a possibility I could be pregnant, because I am married to a man who refuses to wear condoms. With any medication comes risks, and at this time in my life I believe I am truly blessed to have a beautiful healthy baby boy and don't need another. I do say if God wants me to have another one he will make it happen. Even though I am in this situation, with all these side effects, there is nothing I can do about it now. Whats done is done, there is no reversing it. With any chemical you put in your body you take the risk of some side effect good or bad. We just always hope for the good. So I guess basically I am saying that yes I have some side effects, but what drug doesn't give you some kind of side effect. It seems a lot of people are complaining about weight gain. I can tell you most of it is water weight, you can take care of it with an herbal diuretic and if you want to go on a diet where you eat every two to three hours healthy I would recommend ****** It truly works, trust me I know. Good Luck everyone and Blessings to All.

I am on 40mg one a day. Went on lisinopril on 04-26. I strarted having pains in UT areas. Bladers control issues and now Colon pains. I am not sure what to do next since it does a good job on my BP. I have a cough, Fatigue, Swollen eyes lids feeling heavy. No my left side hurts where my kidney is. How musle pain and joint pain also. Does any one have any suggestions?

I have only used the ring for one cycle and a few weeks in there were a few days of excruciating nausea and lower intestinal pain. Otherwise, just general discomfort a couple of times a week. I removed the ring last Friday and have been having continuous nausea and abdominal discomfort since last Thursday. No pain relievers that generally do the trick are working, not even my failsafe Midol. Besides being worrisome about my health, it's wearing having to put up with all of this. I've only been married for a few weeks and it's already putting a damper on things as I have no drive.

I have had my Mirena since Jan 07. My periods are certainly much lighter however I am spotting in between. I am having cramping and nausea almost daily know for about a week and my lower back hurts as well. The nausea is what is really bothering me. I don't hear too many complaints about nausea. Is anyone else expierencing this?
Thanks.

Starting ever 3-4 months, then every 1 to 6 weeks with no known trigger I get a burning skin sensation that comes on suddenly and within 10 minutes or so I feel blow torch heat staring with neck and face then limbs and trunk that actually looks exactly like a sunburn, but feels about 10x worse and no peel afterwards. And my face muscles weaken, face droops, and I look 10 years older at it's peak. These "attacks" usually only last 30 to 45 minutes and driving with AC on full blast or taking a cold shower is the only relief during. All I know for sure is this never happened in my 44 years until prescribed gabapentin.(Nuerontin). I have GAD and my doctor suggested a 400 mg pill along with at Xanax 4x a day. I have tapered down to 1 gabapentin in the mornining and intend to quit in 10 days. Bad news is I've been at the low dose for the last 6 months out of the 18 months on it and the attacks haven't changed as hoped, in fact I'm writing because I just had one last Thursday and again today (Monday, only 4 days later)... a new record for shortest span between attacks. Could recognize no benefit or difference with regards to it's effectiveness treating my Generalized Anxiety Disorder. The Xanax as needed appears to be all I need alone. Only exception being that early on if I took my 100 mg Xanax w/out a gabapentin you could get drowsy while driving.... I break them in 1/2 doses or drink coffee, does the trick. I'm on only these two drugs and don't see the same side affects posted about Xanax so I deduced it's the gabapentin and am stopping it. Yes I too noticed occasional blurred vision, confusion, and munchies, reduced libido, more difficult or no orgasm as well on gabapentin. Too bad.

I'm 30 and in good shape...Last thursday I went to the Dr for an ear infection and pnumonia, he gave me samples for 750 mg for 5 days and 500mg for 2 days after the first pill I couldn't sleep tossing all night ususally I hit the pillow and I'm out, I woke up exausted dizzy and with a head ache and the shakes, at work my arms, well to be more specific, my elbows and neck were getting tight and very sore, I attributed it to all the tossing the night before but now on day 6 I'm still tired having weird dreams , no sleep, my knees and elbows and neck really hurt not to mention extream irritability and depression my mood is just awful again thought it was just from being sick. But questioned it so looked on line and found this, I'm shocked, I am allergic to pennicillin which is why the Dr said he gave mw this instead I have one pill left and I just thew it in the trash and I'm calling my Dr first thing in the morning to report these problums.
This is a real wake up call, wish I would have looked up this med before I started taking it, but for sure I will from now on, Guess it is up to our selves to protect our selves can't count on anyone else to do it for us..

I have posted my side effects earlier, but I have a question, someone mention leg pain, but what about severe spasms in the legs? I have had bad ones at night and when I stopped the Yasmin last Thursday, they don't seem to be as bad, as have dizzy spells and nausea.
I am so grateful for this site.

Hi, Twogirlsmom, Lisa, Silke, Chrissy and everyone out there it's Hill.
I am on day 34 post Yasmin. If you read some of my earlier posts, I too got a cold, felt horrible and got some of my symptoms back during the cold. I also had/have the bloating/swelling. I should get my period very soon. If I was still on Yasmin I should have gotten my period last thursday, however, when I stopped my pills, even though I had just menstrated, I got my period again about 4 days after stopping for a few days so it should be here soon.

As for the swelling, yesterday my ankles were the size of my thighs, as well as my hands. My fingers were huge, none of my rings fit. And while I was on Yasmin, my face was rather enlarged, around my cheeks. Right now everything is bloated. I am assuming it is due to almost that time of the month and first real cycle off pills.

Driving to work I almost had an anxiety attack, but I some how controled it. So what I'm assuming is it's just because my little ole friend is due, and he doesn't know how to act with out that horrible drug or something.

So keep sharing your experiences I know they helped me so much,
Hill

my 10 year old daughter started taking singulair just 2 months ago . her asthma was under control. however she just didn't seem to be herself. last thursday during a basketball game her right arm started shaking uncontrollably we now know this to be a petit mal seizure. on sunday she was taken to the hospital in an ambulance after we found her on the floor convulsing and foaming at the mouth. a seizure, we were horrified. has anyone else had seizures while on singulair!!!!????

My mother took her first dose of Fosamax last Thursday, Friday her legs had swollen up, her right more so than the left. The doctor advised us to go to the ER to make sure it wasn't a blood clot. All her blood tests were fine, checked for heart failure, it was fine, ct scan of her chest, all fine, next day we got an ultrasound on her legs, that was fine too. It's been a week later and they are still swollen, she has NEVER had this problem in her whole life and usually avoids doctors but she pulled a muscle in her back and finally broke down and went to a doctor. Since she is 70 he immediately wanted her to take Fosamax. She will not take it anymore and he is at a complete loss as to why she swelled up, but I know the Fosamax caused it. But I'd like to know who is going to pay her medical bills from all of the testing she had done...Merck? She's on a fixed income and Medicare doesn't cover everything. Perhaps Merck rushed and manipulated research on this medicine to get FDA approval?

Daughter 17 years of age 6 months pregnant
broke out in hives last Thursday. Was put on prednisone. 20 mgs per pill. Took 3 pills Friday, 3 pills on Saturday, 2 on Sunday and went into a psychosis she's been confused, hallucinating, paranoid, you name she is. They put her on Haldol now, she took her 3rd dose today. She suppose to take the Haldol for 7 days. I had to take the week off from work to be with her. I'm not upset with that but I do think the ER dr is an ass and should not of given her such a high dose of prednisone

Please keep her & her baby in our prayers
