im usually a detail freak and can tell u exactly what u said if u mis quote your self

im calling my doctor i thought it was jst me but im sure it has something to do with Lisinopril

Thanks Guys!!

I took rispedal very small dosage 0,5mg per day, for anxiety along with Effexor XR 75mg. I took the risperdal for 2 months. I am still on Effexor. During the 2 months on Risperdal I had extreme HUGER, constant THIRST. This is a sign of blood sugar problems. I read Risperdal can lead to diabetes? I went off it, needless to say. This drug is usually prescribed for Schizophrenia in higher doses (8-16 mg per day I think). It shouldn't be taken for long periods of time for other purposes (for schiz. I am not sure).
Be careful with off-label prescriptions!

So thankful I found this website and that I am not the only one having these problems! I started the NR this past February and thought it would be great not to have to worry about taking the pill. I had been taking Kariva and besides it being a pain to worry about, I also started gaining wt for the first time since high school (it had been two years with no wt gain). A few months ago I started working with a personal trainer and running to prepare for a 1/2 marathon...after three months I am now up 7 lbs even with working out 6 days a week! I assume it is severely causing me to retain fluid. I have not noticed mood changes but definitely no sex drive. I used to get migraines all the time and those are actually gone. The biggest side effect I have noticed which no one else has mentioned is heart problems. I have always worked out and ran a lot in high school with no previous problems. When I began training for my 1/2 marathon I noticed I was SOB, fatigued, and having palpitations all the time. Running for long periods of time has been impossible. I never thought it could be the NR until the last few days. It is the only thing I have done different. If I weren't married I would quit bc all together but instead I plan on going back to Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo which I had the best results from.

I am 49 yr old male and was diagnosed with a severe upper respiratory infection. Was put on Prednisone for 20 days. I never did experience depression, but I did experience the hyper state and was full of energy big time. It was actually nice ...had felt better than I had in a long time. Two of the side effects that I have been experiencing is sweating a lot more than normal ... I mean just the littlest of exercise and my shirt is soaked. Also my back and the back of my neck has broken out with acne ... that really hurts. I am using Desoximetasone which is a prescription cream and it has almost cleared all my acne up. I was about 250lbs and lost to 235lbs in the twenty days I was on it. I never changed my eating habits ...weight just fell off ...... man I wish they could put that it another pill without all the side effects. Now that I have been off for a couple of weeks ...I have gained some of the weight back ... but I'm really trying to change my eating habits and get back to 235 and go lower.
I wonder if everyone posting would also put their blood type on their comments. There are so many different opinions of Prednisone ...there has to be a reason why you have so many effects for some and very little for others. I did research this drug while I ws taking it and read that if you take it for longer than 30 days that your body will stop making the natural prednisone that it makes. Thats why you hear when people take it for long periods of time ...you are destined to take for the rest of your life.
As far as lung condition, I can breathe again and I think I'm totally cured ... I have a follow up with my lung doctor next week.
My prayers are with you guys .... I agree .. I don't think I want to take Prednisone ever again. My blood type is AB+

38 Y/O male with severe back pain on the upper left side just between the shoulder blade and spine. I was taking lipitor over 2 years ago and experienced the same problem. I never figured it was the lipitor and took several trips to the dr and chiropractor. When my cholesterol dropped below 150 I stopped taking the 40mg of lipitor but never told my doctor. All pain in my back stopped. Back in June of this year he insisted I go back on the lipitor and less than 1 month later the pain returned. My entire summer was a waste. I couldn't sit for long periods of time and driving in the car was a nightmare with the throbbing back. Just this past Friday I was out shopping with a friend and ended up taking several aleve for my back, right then I had an epiphany and said that I was gonna stop taking the lipitor for 1 week and see if my back improved. That was Friday, its now Monday and the pain is only 1/2 what it was....I suspect by the coming Friday I will be pain free.

I have had trouble with eczema/psoriasis for several years and it has spread to most of my body. Hands, arms, elbows, back, chest and stomach, hips, back-side of my thighs, knees, bottoms of my feet, scalp, inside my ears, forehead, what haven't I mentioned? So far, Prednisone is the only medication I can take that clears it up. Trouble is, the doc won't let me take it long enough to completely clear the rash before I'm tapered off. After reading some of the other posts, I've got to say that I've never noticed any adverse reaction. My appetite is up a little, but my energy level is also up and I burn off any extra calories. I sleep better (no itching) and for longer periods, wake feeling better, have a better outlook for the day and am ready to go. I'm a salesman, so my mental attitude is important, and my wife and family all agree that I'm less moody and in a generally better frame of mind while taking Prednisone. I've noticed no stomach or bowel distress except for being a little less regular than normal. But no constipation and no diarrhea. I'm 61 so a few muscular aches and pains and joint stiffness are to be expected, but I've noticed no unusual incidents. While I don't advocate taking large doses (define large doses???) for long periods, I've read that taking Prednisone on an every-other-day basis can be effective while greatly reducing the risk of side-effects. I think Prednisone has been a real "miracle drug" for me and just wish there was something as effective without the side-effects.

I have been on Yasmin for 4 years now and I only recently started to question if some of the things that I have been experiencing are related to this pill. After reading your comments here, I'm more convinced then ever! I am a relatively healthy 31 year right now but for over a year now I have had a terrible ongoing ache in the back of my right thigh, just above my knee. I went to a vein specialist who just wanted to inject me to reduce the vein and "hoped" that it would help resolve the pain. He said that I had reticular veins and that they can be painful but as I understand it, you can get pain in your deep veins, which can result in deep vein thrombosis and even pulmonary embolisms (very life threatening). I have also had terrible ongoing headaches that last me 3 days at least once per month. I've always suffered from migraines so I didn't necessarily connect these headaches to the pill. I have absolutely ZERO sex drive. It's like I have to force myself to do it and it fills me with anxiety to even "gear up" for it. I have vaginal dryness, which can be very frustrating during foreplay and painful during sex. I had previously always been pleased that Yasmin resolved my 10 + year battle with painful cystic back acne. I have beautiful, clear skin on my back since I started taking Yasmin. I have also experienced fairly normal periods (for me). I used to have debilitating cramps and periods so heavy that I would wear a tampon and double my pads (with wings) so that I could live through the first part of the day at work without completely breaking through and bleeding through my pants. They would last for 5 - 7 days but with the pill I have more normal periods, manageable cramps, minor bloating, and still a heavy flow but not nearly as bad as before. I have always had good cholesterol levels and low triglycerides until 4 years ago when I started the pill. Since then I have had 2 blood tests where my cholesterol has skyrocketed and my triglycerides are triple the "normal" range. I eat healthier now then ever before and I regularly exercise as well so I cannot explain my cholesterol change, nor can my doctor (after showing a food diary of mostly fruits, veggies, limited whole grains, lean meat and optimal water). He told me to "go on a low carb diet" and "stay away from "sugars". I can't explain it either, I am always thirsty. I drink almost a gallon of water a day. I have this constant craving for a beverage and dryness if I'm not consistently sipping on water. My eyes are always dry, so dry in fact that it makes me feel tired or like I just want to close them to give them a break. I just started using eye drops, which has helped. Also, I'm tired, very very tired. It's summer so my energy is better only because I force myself to go workout, which always makes me feel better. I must say though, all in all, I have some concerning symptoms that seem to be prevalent throughout the blog but I've also had some positive effects from Yasmin. My concerns and your comments however are enough to take myself off the pill (Yasmin and all others) to try and live with my natural hormones instead of the synthetic in the pill. I think the potential risks outweigh the rewards. Thank you all for sharing and helping me in my decision making process.

hi all. thanks for writing your comments here. it has helped me today, another HORRIBLE day of prednisone hell. i have been seriously ill for 8 months been told ever other week I'm likely going to die from lung disease (i'm 35) and after a painful lung biopsy have been told my lung problems are almost all reversible... after a year on high dose prednisone. i was on 40mg a day for a month a while back and was so out of control from rage and crying and insomnia and panic/suicidality, ravenous appetite, that they lowered me to 30. then after biopsy they said i should be on 100mg to cure me, we settled at 60mg. it's been 24 days. The moon face started about one week in. i've gained 8 lbs. i am an emotional wreck. i have at least one rage filled attack per day where i am screaming and want to kill somebody or destroy something. some days i am so filled with hopelessness and worry i just want to die. my body changes (after just losing 30 lbs and being a work out fanatic my shortness of breath makes it impossible to walk up 2 flights of stairs without resting) face changes, acne, excess body hair (oh my god please make it stop i'm like a chia pet and i'm so afraid it is going to get worse) double chin, puffy eyes and cheeks, absolutely uncontrollable emotions and mood swings, inability to be logical or reasonable. i don't want to leave the house, i'm panicked and scared all the time. i never sleep. ambian gives me minimal relief (just started taking it) i feel like i'm losing everything, except my lung functioning is returning and i'm not going to die from this illness (they assure me THIS week) i understand light at the end of the tunnel, but living like this is unbearable most days, almost impossible the rest of the time. am i alone with the severity of this? or are all the others like me too busy hiding the sharps and crying in a corner to write on this board? thanks for listening :)

figures, forgot to mention what HELPS. no eating after 8 (7pm is better) no salt, no sugar, exercise, even just a walk every day, anything physical, i walk like a grandma on the treadmill but i still do it, sometimes it is the only thing that stops my crying. no alcohol, support and understanding from loved ones, it's not you, its the drugs. good luck.

im Male 40yrs old, been on Lisinopril for over 2 yrs. Started out with 10mg, now upto 20 mg. I've noticed a consistent feeling of dizzy or unsteadiness. I've also noticed my sight is strange, not able to completely focus at times and dizzy if I spin around too quickly and floaters in view. Also if sitting or driving for long periods of time, I get a head rush or pressure at the base of my neck/skull if I stand up quickly. It lasts a min or two. I feel strange slight pressure in back of my head, that won't go away. I'm about ready to change medications.
The one good thing that I've noticed is that i used to get anxiety, but have not had any at all since on the medications. It seems to have a calming effect somehow. Maybe its normalizing my pressure, im not sure. My 2 cents.

My experience with Yasmin was decreased aggression, mood stability and increased breast size. when I stopped taking the drug, I had an increase in aggression, less fatigue and no weight loss.

My T-3 levels are fine. My blood work is fine. Not many headaches. My mood became more depressed when I stopped taking Yasmin.

Not sure if I am suited to take the drug. So, I am starting Yasmin again to see if I notice side-effects. My estrogen levels were low prior to starting Yasmin the first time. So, I am wondering if my testosterone is a bit too high, and if Yasmin levels me out so to speak.

I think those with normal estrogen levels, prior to taking Yasmin, are badly affected by Yasmin. I wonder if those of us, with lower natural estrogen levels are as badly affected by Yasmin.

Will let this site know in a few months.

ALSO get this pill from Canada - ******
It costs $22 and it is the exact same packaging, etc.

Hope this helps

I took Yaz for a month and a half and ended up with gallbladder disease! Which there is no cure for and needed surgery to have it removed. This seems to be a risk with all oral contraceptives but I've taken other brands years ago for long periods of time and this never happened. My symptoms were severe pain (lasting several hours) after eating ANY food containing fat. I lived on toast and soup for over 2 months. This drug is evil.

I was given a 10 day dose of LEVAQUIN for a mild bronchitis/respiratory ailment on Jan. 29, 2008. I took 1 500mg pill for the full ten days. Three days after I stopped taking this medication, I experienced incredibly painful swelling in both knees. I could barely walk, and couldn't bend my knees. I was scared, upset, and in absolute misery. I spent a week literally throwing myself backwards onto chairs. It was unbelievable. When I could finally get to my normal health care provider 5 days later, she immediately identified the culprit as the Levaquin I had taken. She said she knew it to cause people's tendons to burst. It was obvious since it was both knees that it was not an injury and I never had any other problem with my legs. I am, or shall I say I was an avid walker. I was told to see an orthopedic doctor if I had not improved in one week. I had not improved in a week. The orthopedic doctor sent me for an MRI which showed irreversible, permanent cartilage damage in my left knee. The right knee he didn't MRI at the time, saying he could determine what he needed to know from the one knee and would only be able to do corrective surgery on my knees in 6 week intervals. This horrible drug has permanently altered my way of life. I was a 53 year old active, ambulatory adult who would walk miles a day. Two months later, I still have constant knee pain, cannot stand for long periods of time without leaning on something and can no longer kneel, etc. I can only walk around a bit and if I'm on my feet for long periods of time I experience knee, ankle pain and swelling. I sent a report to the FDA who obviously cares nothing about this situation, since I'm not the only unsuspecting person to have this happen. I've been studying this drug now and there was evidence in animal clinical trials of joint and tendon damage, To me it would have been no different an experience if someone had come up and hit me with a baseball bat across both knees. I am permanently damaged from Levaquin. I think it's criminal this drug is given to younger ambulatory adults at all.

My son has been taking singulair on and off since he was 11 years old, he just had his 15th birthday. The past 2 years of his life have been filled with depression and anxiety issues. We have been to countless doctors, hospitals, therapists and now a psychologist. When he is on singulair for long periods of time he would have mood swings, depression, stomach and headache issues. I have asked the questions to all involved with him are you sure that singulair is ok to take with the depression meds? They told me yes. They recently up his dose to 10 mgs and his depression got worse! He has trouble concentrating, sleeping, and feels the world is a bad place. He is a good student, he is in sports and was popular, now he is tormented by these feelings of depression and anxiety. He has been on and off homebound instruction for the past 2 year and I have had to use family leave time from work to help him through this. My husband and I have spent a lot of hours trying to understand what has happened to our son. I have stopped giving him singulair and I hope that in the near future we can take him off his depression meds that he has been on for 1 year. How long will it take till his mind and body are rid of this drug? Why did no one tell me that this drug needs to be examined to why my son has had these very serious problem. Teenage years are hard enough with out the added conditions that my son has had to experience. I want some answers and I will give everything that I have to assure that my son will get better. Please help those who have experience what we have with the answers we are all asking.

All this new information has me wondering. My 16 year old son has been on Singulair now fro approx. 9 years . He started having some problems in school like worrying about everything and being afraid. When he turned 12 we seen a big change he refused to go to school he would cry and hang on the sofa arm , his father would have to to remove his fingers and carry him to the school bus. No counselors could tell us what was wrong. The school provided a tutor one on one that seemed to work but he would not steo foot in a school or socialize with kids. He is now 16 and I home school him he still at times will show some signs of anxiety but he is happy at home with family. He is also tired a lot and has trouble concentrating for long periods of time . I wonder if this drug has done this to my child and taken away the education he could of had. I will be calling his Ped. on MONDAY.

Our daughter has been on Singulair for four years that we can recall and are in the process of obtaining medical records to find out for sure.

She was diagnosed with A.D.H.D. when she was first starting school and allergies in the first grade. She was on liquid Claritan-D up until she started Singulair (4 or 5 Yrs ago).

Since she began taking the Singulair along with her A.D.H.D. meds. she has become very depressed, anxious, and sometimes extremely angry for no apparent reason.

Her elementary school career thus far has pretty much been a total waste because she does not pay attention or is outright defiant. And She has started stealing from other students.

We elected to try natural treatment for the A.D.H.D. with limited success and now we know why! The Singulair is counteracting the treatment! I would bet my last dollar that she will improve without the continued use of Singulair!

Before she started taking the Singulair she was always an outgoing kid that loved life unconditionally and now she is always down in the dumps and struggles through the school day and it is putting pressure on us as parents because the school gives her detention for not completing work or acting out in class etc.

She frequently complains of tummy aches and headaches or joint pain.

I feel really horrified as a parent because I argued with her just this morning and made her take the Singulair before school!

Even if taking her off this med. changes her future it won't erase the memories of her childhood school years that should have been some of the happiest times in her life and are now just painful ones she will try to forget!

We all need to find other parents in our own towns and get together a group and contact a lawyers office and file class action suits against the monsters who created this mess!

Have been on some form of statins since 2000 when I had a heart attack, Baycol until they recalled it then Zocor. Have had three stents since 2000, one in 2005 and one in 2006, a year apart all most to the day. Things got really bad after the last stent, was put on 40 mg. Then the Dr. was not happy with the cholesterol test after the 6 week checkup after the last stent, put me on 80mg, thats when things really went down hill , fatigue,eyes twitching,foot pain,joint pain, finally ended up in the e.r. with sever lower back pain. After morphine and muscle relaxer was sent home, when entering our house right leg gave out and fell, since then legs have been weak and can't stand to be on them for long periods of time. Have been recently told I have polyneuropathy. The Dr. don't think the statins have anything to do with all these ailments.Have since stopped using the statins and most ailments have been gradually getting better. I am getting to understand why they call it a wonder drug so many unexplainable side effects so many more $$$$.

My experience with Mirena in the beginning was okay. I experienced alot of pain, cramping, bleeding for long periods of time, so on and so forth. I've never had a child so I figured it was how my body was reacting. Well now the depression has set in, the fatigue, the acne has been around, and I've always had great skin, the weight gain, the numbness in the arms and legs, the migraines, the discharge, the abdominal pain. I've become cold and distant and can't feel anything. So I'm going to get it taken out. I'm far to sensitive to this it seems. I just want to know if anybody else couldn't feel anything. For instant, I can't feel the love I have for my boyfriend. I know I love him but I can't feel it.

I was put on Lipitor in 2004 and didn't realize what was happening to me-I thought I was just getting old. (I'm now 66) I went from a very active person to one who struggled to get out of the car and my entire body ached. I was constantly tired, I had trouble putting thoughts together. I would sit at the kitchen table and cry because I felt so awful. I started losing my balance and falling down. In one of my falls in December 2006 I injured my left hip. I went to a chiropractor to see if he could help relieve the pain in my hip. While going over my symptoms and medications he pointed out that the Lipitor I'm taking could cause most of my symptoms. He suggested I call my doctor and talk to her. I did and she said that Lipitor could cause severe muscle aches-she wanted to do a blood test and said that I could just go off the Lipitor. My blood test was normal. That was in March 2007 and I have been off the Lipitor since. The fatigue and muscle aches have gone away. I still have the hip pain (bursitis) and have been going to physical therapy for that. My memory is improving but I still have to concentrate, repeat names and write things down trying to remember. I'm trying to lose weight (most of it gained around my middle). I go to the gym and exercise to try to build my muscle strength. I'm not tired all the time, I've read that the symptoms can last a long time and sometimes may never go away. I've been told by the doctor that if my cholesterol is up at my next visit that she wants me to go back on Lipitor. She also said that if it had been the Lipitor, the symptoms would have gone away right after I went off the Lipitor. I will absolutely refuse to go on any Statin-I cannot take the chance of feeling so badly again.

I did a six month stint of the Lupron shots as a treatment for severe endometriosis. The entire experience was horrible. At first I was sick to my stomach for days on end. This fluctuated on and off for the duration. Shortly after my mom started noticing intense fluctuations in my mood. I don't know that there is any way to describe it other than I felt like I was going crazy. All I wanted to do was rage and scream and fight for reason what so ever. I was also extremely lethargic for long periods of time. When the lethargy finally wore off I would be so manic that I would have overwhelming attacks of anxiety. About one month into the treatment my hair started falling out in clumps. By the time the treatment was over I had lost half the thickness of my hair. I was so miserable that my own family didn't want to be around me.

In 1993, my son ( then aged 9) commented that he might need glasses, then never commented again until 2000 that he was having trouble seeing. From 2000 to 2006 he lost the majority of his eyesight, being treated for long periods of time on Prednisone without any significant response. Up to 60mg when the inflammation was severe, coming down to 5mg when it would flare up again. His diagnosis was at first scarcoidosis, then Unidentified Eye Virus and eventually Par Planitis, however they are all medically treated with the same medication, Prednisone. My son, became very psychotic, so much so that he forcefully committed. He became and was physically and mentally incapable of getting or being taken to the Ophthalomlogy clinic to have the Prednisone adjusted, would refuse to take the medication due to the pressure in his eyes and the eye vessel bleeds into his eyes as he said it made him worse. Developed glucoma, has had two cataract, operations. His physical wellbeing was complicated as mental health are not specialised to see the slight warning signs in his eyes that indicate that he needed urgent attention. During this period, he was on Prednisone 15mg and was also in the high security section of the mental health clinic, without memory, always seemed dazed yet when he spoke, he would sit and struggle to drag what he wanted to say from the depths of his memory and would speak very intelligently,when he did. Since 2002, he has been treated for a mental illness. His 18th birthday is imprinted in my brain, he lost his memory completely and the Police services throughout the state. were involved to find him. More time in the mental health unit. Trialed numerous medications for mental health but he never responded as they expected. When he came home to be in my care, he refused Prenisone as he insisted it made him worse. It was all out of control and not a comfortable nor 'prettey' sight watching him go off it. It was sad. He would go into spasms occasionally, have heavy sweats, behaving so unusually that I was frantic watching him 24 hours around the clock. If I had known as much about the medication Prednisone then as I know now, I would have had him hospitalised against his will. I am thankful now that I respected his wishes as his eye condition was no worse off the Prednisone than when he was on it. In 2005, I sent my son to have the amalgan dental filling out of his teeth. A process of elimination in trying to find some miraculous cure in what had become an impossible situation. All the dentist knew was that the patient had a mental illness and I wanted the fillings replaced with another material other than the amalgam. He found that there had been no barriers placed between the old fillings and the flesh in the root canal (1993) and that was where the chronic infection was repeatedly occurring. Surgery cleaned and repaired the damage.The past 4 appointments at Ophthalmology has resulted in good news with the active damaging cells being consistently 'quiet', though in the last visit when I mentioned the dental work, the Ophthalmologist stated that it would have no connection whatsoever. My son's future prospects for employment is not bright though he is always thinking positive. He is overweight, lethargic, has no night vision and is borderline 'legally blind' and has been in a rehabilitation centre for the past 6 months to manage 'a medication' for his mental illness. It also has its side effects which we will have to manage for his quality of life. His mother. Judith

I have been taking Lisinopril 10 mg for 3 days and am very dizzy, lethargic and confused. Can't sit still, lay or stand for long periods of time. Have not been able to go to work.

I am going to try to take it at night a few hours before I go to sleep, hoping the side effects are not as bad in the AM.

I was diagnosed with Systemic Lupus in 2001 and have been on Prednisone since then! I started on 60 mg and am now going off of the drug.

I gained about 60 pounds, I have a classic moon face, buffalo hum (on neck), and the bloaty belly--and I hardly eat. I went from being in shape and running three miles a day to barely being able to get off the couch! Here are some of my other side effects;

*sleep issues
*gum/teeth are more frail
* severe eye problems (blurred vision, loss of peripheral vision, depth perception problems)
* excessive hair in places I don't want and hair loss in the places I want to keep it on!
* mood swings
* inability to concentrate for long periods of time
excessive fatigue

My advice on this drug--if you can--avoid it. If not--be proactive in getting your doctor to get you off of it as soon as possible at a slow rate.

I am now on 5 mg being tapered off permanently! Thank God!

I have taken Lisinopril for a long time. Not sure when it came into the market, but seems like I been on them a few years. I been taking blood pressure meds for about 10 years. I am 53. Not sure when I was switched to Lisinopril. I have fought most the symptons that are on this website. I have never connected it with Lisino and neither have my doctors, even at Mayo Clinic. I always check out healthy as a horse, except, they write this off to having Fibromyalgia. I have had long periods of time when I did feel I could "catch my breath" It's like the feeling of holding your breath in, till you need to really breath badly. So you breath, and that feeling seems to stay to a large degree. Extreme Fatigue, walking 100 feet and back sometimes. Dry cough or clearing Phlem all the time. Dizzy for like, 3 years now, weakness in legs, pain in legs even in the morning. They carry a burning with them like if you were working out, but it burns like that if you just walk a short distance. Bad insomnia, so freaking tired, but the sleep button just doesnt kick in. Sometimes totally exacerbating as far as the fatigue is concerned. Do not know if its connected, but can tolerate the soap isle in the grocery store, I can just feel it suck any energy out of me. Hot flashes, ear aches..not infections, they just seemed to stay slightly inflammed. Lots of stiffness in neck and shoulders, and lots of just skin pain, across my back. So for years I have been fighting this fatigue and pain and we will see if it's connected to Lisino or not. Let me add also, when the fatigue is greater so is the brain fog and/or lethergy. Lots of headaches. I was feeling so weak not long ago, I thought it might be MS. But Dr. Said MS is not painful, and my legs, especially thighs, and hip joints hurt a lot. If this is caused by taking Lisino, I would have to say, I am about 10% of the man I used to me, Physically. Might as well throw a sexual activity report in here. All the plumbing works fine, it just the concern if that's where I want the energy to go for the rest of the day. Sometimes and physical excertion, the best way to describe it, it like an exahusting "flare", It will kick your butt and put in bed. Like, hmmm, think I will move the couch over there...bammm. Okay, I am done. I just wanted to be a bit detailed, it might help others out. If it is Lisino, I am sure it will take several weeks for me to get it off and out of my system, but I will write back. I hope this may help someone else out there.

When I was pregnant with my son I was given phenobarbitol and syniquan to keep me from delivering to soon. My son is and has always been several steps behind children his on age. He was delayed in tieing shoes,riding a bike,he wet the bed until he was 9. In elementary school he was unable to sit still for long periods of time,in middle school he was unable to concentrate on more than one thing at a time, which caused major problems. In high school he was disruptive,defiant, they called him lazy. I took him to therapists and counciling,they diagnosied him as being depressed, defiant,adhd and he has a conduct disorded.
Can these be side affects?

Thank You,

I received a Kenalog injection in my right buttock 10/05. It was given to me for allergies and congestion. My doctor never told me about any of the possible side effects. I now have an indentation, loss of tissue, where the shot was given. The indentation is discolored and tender. When I sit for long periods of time it begins to ache. Has anyone had this fixed for free or had any compensation?
