Marvellous symptoms and conditions

I had sinus infections on a regular basis and refused to
take antibiotics any longer. I put up with the yukky nose
blowing daily. My doctor gave me Singulair 1 a day for a
week. Within on day, I had relief. My concern is>>>>
I also take Advair for my asthma. Both are a marvellous
drug but would be interested if there is any concern to
be using both.
I would not give up Advair as I was a chronic asthmatic
who was statis asthmaticus on several occasions. Yes I did
take Serevent and Flovent before Advair. I salute the doctor's
and especially the chemists who are able to give so many
relief from this horrible disease ASTHMA. I never thought I'd
live beyond 40 yrs of age because of this illness. I'm now 65
and many years ahead of me. Due to the severity of my illness, a sore throat, hoarseness, loss of smell and taste is
not a priority as I can breathe. Yes, thank you all the people
and companies trying to rid us of that terrible disease. I hope
a young child can be given something else to help him through this problem if side effects occur.

Thank goodness i found all of you,ive been on Yasmin for over around 3yrs and i had a short break for a couple of months in which i felt marvellous and much calmer.
However due to getting back together with my ex i thought i should be sensible and restart the pill.Well ive only taken 4 and i feel really sick and i have backache and i keep crying over nothing.I feel really depressed and highly irritable which is very scary.It mustve been why ive been so down before,i just never twigged it could be this pill.So i will be off to drs to sort this out and just wanted to say i'm so glad to know that it wasnt just me cracking up but because of the pill,ive felt like ive been living a nightmare and all this in four days? How can they keep prescribing stuff like this? I wish all of you the best of luck over this pill and coming off it etc

Topamax has completely altered my life. I had a year and a half of daily migraines, with only a day or two of let-up each month -- my migraines are "common", not "classical", just to clarify, and my symptoms are more like that of a stroke victim's.
Now I only have bad premenstrual migraines (no solution to that yet). I still have migraines with Topamax, but it is like they have been pushed way down.....
I'm on 200 mg/day.
Side effects of Topamax: Mostly marvellous! The sexual side effects I really want to say something about, because I couldn't find anything about this when I first had them. Please allow me, and forgive me for graphically saying this -- this is about anatomy, and I needed to know I wasn't alone when I first experienced this: I experience marvellous spasms in my anus and vaginal walls sometimes, especially during sex, and I've had spontaneous near-orgasms a few times (though once in a grocery store, which was NOT NOT NOT pleasant). My libido has skyrocketed. It's been wonderful. It's been beautiful.
Sometimes I get a definite "Topamax buzz", especially in the afternoon. I sleep much better, and with a migraine can actually push myself, whereas before it was the end of the world. I can push myself, period. That used to be an impossibility.
Definitely, Topamax impairs my ability to speak sometimes. But my ability to think? It's improved 100%. I used to be a writer, and have now returned to this. It would have been unthinkable before Topamax.
I have intense tingling in my extremities, which can be awful at times. I find the negative side effects most unpleasant some days, like the facial twitches -- mostly the left side of my mouth, and sometimes both of my eyelids (like right at this moment). The fatigue, blech.
But honestly, compared to the migraines symptoms, these side effects are a dream. .....And the weight loss is a bit worrisome at times -- though my body looks great I always have to worry that I'm eating enough. I am getting my life back now. Topamax has some wretched side effects, but some beautiful ones too -- it re-opened my mind, gave me focus again.... and the migraines were hell. I am so very very grateful for Topamax.
