Lunch break symptoms and conditions

I also had a seizure from advair .In July of 2004 I was on my lunch break . I came home and decided I needed to take the Advair . Which I usually took twice a day . I took a puff and then I immediately felt dizzy fell over the counter and started shaking . I could hear my mother trying to yell my name in my right ear but i was unable to respond . It was the scariest moment of my life . She immediately called the doctor and I never took it again .

I had Mirena inserted Nov 2008, one year after my miscarriage. Everything was great at first. I had it inserted on my lunch break and went back to work with no problems. Periods were shorter and lighter. Now, 6 months later I've noticed problems. About 2 months ago I was working over night and felt a sharp stabbing pain in my abdomen. I went to the bathroom and was bleeding a lot. More than a period. I went another hour, and the pain was almost unbearable. I left work and went to the ER. They said I looked fine, that Mirena hadn't moved and nothing was torn. Gave me some pain meds and sent me home. I've had short sharp pains ever since.

I was diagnosed with depression my 6th grade year, when my grandfather passed away. I've been battling ever since. So, when my depression got worse after Mirena, I didn't think much of it. But the past month or so, my thoughts have been like some other users have described. I've had very scary thoughts, and boughs of uncontrollable crying for no reason.

My periods have stopped, with some light spotting every month. I do still have cramping, but no bleeding. I'm thinking of making an appt with my OBGYN and having it removed now that I've read all of these posts. I had no idea of any side affects other than interfering with menstruation. If you don't have Mirena, make sure you research more than I did. If I had, I probably wouldn't have gotten it. I really wish I would've researched more options because now I'm beginning to regret my decision.

I have been on Femcon for around 4 years. My sex drive was very intense before taking this pill. I have had no sex drive since starting the pill. We have struggled to figure out what the problem is to no avail. I just decided to look up side effects of Femcon, and noticed all the symptoms are the same. I saw only a few with diminished sex drives. Is everybody experience diminished sex drive as a result??

I was on Doxy for a month and a half due to mild acne. For the first month, I felt fine, however when I went to refill, things became awful. Although I did not notice the nausea or tiredness (because I took it before going to bed), I began to feel episodes of dizziness, confusion, inability to concentrate, and anxiety. I continued taking it because I had not been informed that these might be side effects. Eventually I had 2 panic attacks where my legs shook uncontrollably, I felt I could not breath, became really cold and sweaty, had racing thoughts that I might die, and felt incredibly confused. The attacks really scared me to the point where I was afraid of having another one. When I went to the doctor, they ran blood tests, told me everything was alright, diagnosed me with panic disorder, and gave me medication. Even though I told them I was taking this medication, no one ever told me this might be side effects. I have never had any mental problems and am an upbeat, happy person. While taking this, I had severe anxiety and bouts of depression where I felt like crying for no reason. I was afraid to be alone, I was afraid to workout, and afraid to leave the house. I could not study and thought my entire life was spinning out of control. I've been off it for 2 days and am feeling much better. Anxiety has decreased and depressive episodes are also decreasing. There should be better research on these drugs to inform consumers!

I just started with my first ring yesterday afternoon at 2pm. By 7pm, I was complaining to my husband that I must've had too much caffeine that day because my heart was palpitating out of my throat and I had a weird headache setting in.

So far today, the heart palps and jitters were getting so bad I had no choice but to take the NUVARING out. I'm going to call my doctor on my lunch break from work, but this is NOT what I was hoping for when I switched from the pill. I'm a 27 year old newlywed and all I want is a birth control option that doesn't KILL my sex drive. I'd rather have a low sex drive and feel physically NORMAL than to deal with the heart palpitations. They didn't start until I put the ring in yesterday. I'm hoping in a few hours they hormones will get out of my system and I'll start feeling back to normal.

I understand what all of you ladies are going through. I myself started taking Femcon a week and a half ago, starting the packet the first day of my period. I haven't been on birth control pills before and I am 26 years old. My breast are extremely swollen and tender and have grown a size in a week, I am having violent mood swings, I have felt suicidal at times, but not enough to actually go through with it (and I certainly wouldn't, I understand that its just the hormones), I am severely constipated, I have only had one headache experience since taking the pills but it wasn't good. I had an extremely sharp pain go through one side of my head and last a while, I had to take three days off from work this week because I was too nauseous, as well as too tired and depressed to get out of bed. I am back at work today barely able to keep my eyes open. I am about to take a nap during my one hour lunch break. This has been a horrible experience for me. I have read the instructions and know that these horrible things will pass. I can't take much more. I am an extremely patient person but these side effects are absolutely ridiculous!!! Good luck to all of you, I feel your pain.

While I was on Nuvaring I became gradually depressed, gained weight, had sluggish thoughts, poor concentration , and also vision problems. My normal athletic self was weak, and I was angry all of the time. It never let up. Finally the depression became to much to bear, and so I went off. For a week and a half I have suffered from constant headaches, jaw and neck pain, and tingingly in my limbs. My concentration is poor. Then I developed panic attacks. Sometimes I start to cry for no reason (and I am not typically a crier -- its rare for me). I work in market research, and I spent my entire lunch break today crying on a bench in a mall I was sent to evaluate. I do not know what's wrong with me. I've read of similar side effects for other pills (Yasmin) and that they eventually fade, but there's not much info for Nuvaring... I despise the thing and its made a mess of the last few months of my life.
