Loss hair symptoms and conditions

I've been on Topamax for 3 years for migraine and it works most of the time. I am currently having a hard time with the usual side effects of memory loss, hair loss, word recall problems, coldness, depression, no sex drive, and am developing a cough. BUT I had a side effect that has not been mentioned when I first started taking it (25 mg in am and pm -- I'm now on 50mg in am and pm).
For about 2 weeks, I would get in my car to go to work and miss my turns because they would cognitively come up too soon (this is after 15 years of going to work the same way everyday). I had to be extremely conscious of my surroundings when I drove or I'd miss all my normal turns. I got lost in my own neighborhood once going home. At work, I'd get up from my desk to go to a co-worker's desk and arrive there amazing fast to my mind. I was experiencing time/space/distance distortion. It became fascinating to me, but it passed.

I was on NuvaRing for 3 yrs. I lived with a CONSTANT headache, had MRIs and brain scans done, nothing was found. I finally googled tha ring and found out that headaches are a bigggg side effect. I also had 4 abnormal paps, 2 cryosurgeries, weight loss, hair loss, 9 yeast infections, vaginal itching, extreme moodiness, depression, pre-cancerous cells on ma cervix x 2 and almost anything else u can think of. NuvaRing is a nightmare!!!! the minute i decided i was done with it and popped it out, the headache went away, never had an abnormal pap since and every other thing that was wrong immediately righted itself. NEVER NEVER again!!

i am a 33 year old male and i have been taking warfarin for the past nine years. i have had most of the side effects that i have read about here. before i began taking the drug i asked my doctor about side effects and i was told that there were only two; bleeding and bruising.
i have since learned that the research had not been done. that is why they don't know about the side effects.
here are just some of the effects that i have had in my nine years on this drug. memory loss, hair loss, itchy feet, blurred vision, headache, brittle/crumbling teeth, stomach pain, non healing wounds.
i have began to do more research on my own lately, since it has been almost 10 years since i first began taking warfarin. the only new side effect that i have learned about is calcification of cartilage. i have been lucky not to have had this problem yet.
i have had no trouble yet with bleeding, although i do get some pretty bad bruises. i usually have three or four bad ones on my legs or arms at all times.
i am sure i will develop more side effects as the years go by. i am 33 years old now and will be taking warfarin for the rest of my life.

p.s. i have a titanium st.jude mitral valve

I was taking Ambien CR for almost a year. Until I stopped taking it I didn't realize all the side effects I was suffering. I was taking almost every night. I started getting yeast infections about a month after I started taking it. They continued every single month for the next 7 months, sometimes twice in one month. It got to the point that OTC meds were not curing it. The doctor prescribed a med for it and it still didn't help. I have been trying to figure out excatly what behavior (eg:diet, laundry soap) I had changed in the last year when it dawned on me. They started around the time I started taking Ambien CR. I started researching side effects of Ambien CR and in the very very fine print it lists Vaginitis. There it is. Somewhere I read that only .01% of women suffer this side effect, figures it would be me. I stopped taking Ambien immediately, the yeast infection that I was getting started to go away on its own. I bought an OTC med to help it go away and I feel great! Haven't had another one since.

Other side effects that I noticed after I stopped taking it were headaches, short tempered, confusion, short-term memory loss, hair loss. I haven't had a headache since the last day I took Ambien CR. I had absolutely no patience while I was taking it. I would lose my temper in a flash. I haven't felt as angry since I stopped taking it. I didn't realize how crappy I was feeling every day until I stopped taking it.

I think Ambien might be okay for occasional use but not every night like I was taking it.

just had mine out today...mirena that is...and i had all if not more side effects and complaint you ladies have, so i am hoping for the best! i am tirred of this rollercoster of emotions, mood wings, weight loss, hair loss, sexual loss, depression, pelvic pains, constant nuasuea, headaches, the non stop bleeding for 5 months then nothing, joint and leg pain, and all the tests they did to tell me i was fine and nothing wrong....

I have been on Toprol xl 200mg for over 3.5 years now. due to high blood pressure problems. and Hmo Doctors who refuse to change meds. typical of hmo systems. I dont like this medication and have been fighting with Doctors to get off it.( no luck) as yet! I have tryed myself a few times doing it slow at small dose, however I have withdraw symptoms! and im forced to go back to the medication again. I think most Doctors fear this problem so they try and pass the buck to a hmo cardiologist, who only tells you, I dont do that - go back to your primary Doctor? its like running in circles !
bad part I have every know side effect from this medication, Doc gave me 4omg of Diovan to counter act the toprol effects.. ahhh! that didnt help.. make them worse..and caused more effects ! blurred vision -chest pains
short term memory loss, Hair loss, and thinning real bad.. I have counted over 56 side effects for just toprol xl alone.. and another 31 for Diovan
plus the fact Diovan was recalled one time before.. and then changed and re-released again.. I feel like the walking dead - Im so tired all the time..
and boy! if your out in the heat.. 85deg F. or more.. watchout people.. you can pass out cold ! from this crap - its got some real bad effects when it gets hot outside. stay in doors and out of the heat ! unless you have to work like me.. I guess one day I will find a good Doctor who will help me
for now, Hmo systems stink ! but im stuck with one till October.. then its bye bye for Hmo's for me.. there has to be a better way to go !
Toprol xl is not the ansure or cure ! by the way I get palpitations off and on from diovan or toprol xl .. its very strange... hate this medication

I'm on seroquil, lamictal, trazodone and I have all of these side effects.....increase in blood sugars, great anxiety, irritation, agitation, memory loss, heart racing, difficult breathing and swallowing, retention of water, headaches that cause me to have to stop all activities, jerky movements that keep me awake or eliminates even short drives in the car, hot vs cold, my perception of things are not as they use to be, muscle aches that keep me from even getting out of a chair or in and out of a car sometimes, nausea, vomitng, nasal swelling, mind racing, memory loss, hair loss, nails thin, no energy great fatigue!

I HAVE PERMANENT SENSORY PRECEPTIN LOSS IN MY MOUTH, MY DR NOW WAS IN ON TESTS AT BEGINNING AND HE SAYS IT IS A SIDE EFFECT OF TOPAMAX, I WONDER IF ANYONE ELSE HAS HAD THIS SIDE EFFECT AND IS AFRAID TO TELL ANYONE BECAUSE PEOPLE WILL THINK THEY ARE CRAZY, MY DR THAT I HAD EARLIER WHEN THE SIDE EFFECTS OCCURED DID THINK I WAS CRAZY AND GAVE ME DRUGS TO MASK THE PROBLEM AND THEY MAKE ME FEEL CRAZY. I ALSO HAD ALL THE TYPICAL SIDE EFFECTS, WT. LOSS, HAIR LOSS, ETC.

I have most of the commomn side affects with a few exceptions. I have absolutely no appetite and have to be reminded when to eat. I have no hunger at all. I am having breast leakage on both sides. Iam having the same pains as before only with some days being worse than before the shots began. I am still having horrid hot flashes, memory loss, hair growth has slowed, and ive lost a good 9 lbs. i am not at all depressed and have a few crying jigs. I am on lupron for the diagnosis of endo; which has not been made. no other tests ran. i am also taking metformin for pcos. if these symtoms have been experience by anyoone let me know. I also have a uterine tumor, undiagnosed thats is worrying me a bit. im confused and worried. and in so much much pain. i want my memory back. there are others rechid symtoms not listed here i have. thank you
