Massive dose symptoms and conditions

For me having the Mirena removed just last Thursday was the right decision. I was not using it for birth control but as hormone therapy for heavy, crampy periods. I had it inserted in July 2008 and bled every single day for the entire time, I had it removed last week and now I am bleeding very heavily but hopefully that will stop once all those hormones are out of my body.
While on Mirena I lost all sex drive, I became severely anemic and with that fatigued terribly, and moody, crying at nothing and screaming at my kids or husband for stupid reasons, I felt bloated and gassy and didn't have those problems before.
I am 42 years old and I hate my heavy bleeding in fact I want a hysterectomy, but not sure now what I will do.

For those of you who had the Mirena removed, how long did it take to stop bleeding afterwards? This is draining every last ounce of energy for me and I am taking iron supplements.

What sucks is the cost of this, Even with insurance I ended up paying a lot out of pocket to get this thing and then all the Dr. visits due to bleeding and side affects in the 4 months it was in and now the removal of it. I am wondering if there is any way that we can get a Class action lawsuit against Bayer for this horrible thing they are trying to sell to women.
I know there are some out there who have not suffered all these horrible side effects at least not yet or that they are aware of, but I truly believe that there is nothing good about this IUD and those of us and there are a lot of us who have suffered with this should be reimbursed or compensated for the pain and loss of parts of our lives and expenses with this. Does anyone else have any thoughts on this?

I don't know what to do, I have been on Levaquin (750 mg) for approx. 8 days now, I have 6 more days to go. I was prescibed this drug due to being diagonosed with MRSA. However the infection has gone away, I began to have extreme pain in my both knees. Sleeping has been difficult as well waking up with night sweats. I will bare the pain for the 6 remaining days. But if the pain tends to get worse, I will need to consult my physician

I also would like to encourage everyone with Prednisone issues. I met the creator of this site from postings and replies on medications.com. At the time I was researching Prednisone concerning dosage levels and how this drug effects all major organs. She done a fantastic job with assisting in this matter. This all came about after my father passed away after being prescribed a MASSIVE dose of this horrible drug.. It is my belief that it does not take massive dosages of Prednisone to cause organ damage. So please if you are suffering from any of the mile long list of side effects, check out 'Sirvovors of Prednisone' before it is too late.

I went into Leighton hospital for a simple hernia operation as a day case and before the operation I told the nurse I didn’t want my knickers removed. She said as I was 21st they were not in the way and that was fine I also told her I didn’t want a suppository. I was taken into the anesthetic room and given a massive dose of Midazolam 10mg all in one go according to my medical records.
I then started having a terrifying dream of being gang raped I was in a room full of people and they were removing my knickers in the most dirty, vile filthy and perverted way I feared for my life. I was unable to stop them doing these vile things to me and I was totally humiliated being stripped in public in this way it was the most terrifying experience of my life.

Midazolam is know to enhance sexual feeling and lots of cases of people having these feeling that's why it popular as a date rape drug. My knickers were removed for none medical reasons they claim so they wouldn’t get stained. Any women would prefer to loose a 50p pair of knickers instead of being forcible striped by complete strangers. I don’t know if it was done so people could look at my private parts in order to get sexual pleasure or what. As it’s a criminal offense of Assault and Battery which can have a 6 months custodial sentence I wouldn’t think anyone would do it without they got pleasure out of it. To ask a women while awake to remove her own knickers is one thing but to forcibly strip someone is a totally different thing As I was coming around from the operation I was awake when a nurse lifted my legs and buggered me.

Both the things were done totally without my consent and expressly against my wishes I don’t care how good a reason you had you did it totally without consent and for that reason its sexual assault.

It has now been nearly 2 years since this happened and I still wake in the night from horrendous nightmares screaming and trying to cover my self from the sexual assault my heart rate goes through the roof and I cant breath. My life has changed I am dirty and can never be clean again I have been sexually abused just the same as if I had been raped but its worse than that as I was helpless and had no way of stopping the attack, I couldn’t even fight back. I cant have any sort of sexual relations as I am unclean and cant stand the thought of anyone touching me. I have been buggered and deeply humiliated without my consent has taken place and once again I was unable to stop this happening to me. I feel that some perverted women has had her wicked way with me and once again it was done against my wishes and without my consent.

What makes this worse is the hospital refuse to sack this woman or name her so she can be brought to justice. She has no excuse for what she did its her job to ensure she obtains consent before she touches anyone and simply asking if its ok and explaining what she wanted to do is all it took but she didn’t do any of these things just simply buggered me. As she didn’t seek consent I can only conclude that she is a lesbian and obtains great sexual pleasure from this act of sexual abuse. No decant caring nurse would do this terrible thing without first obtaining consent.

In the last 2 years I have lost over 11st in weight due to this incident. If I go out and see a group of people it can bring on panic attacks were I think they are going to strip me again my heart races and I cant get my breath. The attacks can happen watching television if there is anything similar to what happened to me. My life is a total mess I am depressed and often go into a world of my own for a week at a time. I cant talk about what happened without getting flash backs.

The hospitals attitude is once you give consent to an operation they can do what the fucking hell they like to you. For senior management to refuse to give the names of the perverts that did this is unbelievable. The senior management at the hospital refuse to answer any emails and have not bother to even apologize for the sexual assault they claim it was all done above board but if you bugger someone and remove their underwear without consent there is no great area its assault. The GMC have ruled that these things were done without consent so there is no doubt that in the eyes of the law a crime has been committed but still the hospital refuse to name or discipline the nurses who have done this to me.

I want all doctors and nurse to read this and I hope they will then think before they do anything to a patient without first obtaining consent they must remember that people are not just pieces of meat but have feelings and fears and are very vulnerable. Maybe reading this they will understand what effect their actions can have on someone. To them removing underwear is nothing but to many this has the effects that I have described. Many modern women might not mind but there are thousands who feel like I do.

I noticed my time in hospital that most don’t ask consent or explain what they intend to do they think they are gods better than the rest of us and can abuse patients and get away with it. I believe that most of the violent attacks on staff are because they don’t explain what they are doing and don’t seek consent. It take a second to say I want to take some blood is that ok.

I do accept that the whole incident was done for all the right reasons and nothing untoward happened but this doesn't make any difference to what I felt and what I still feel a lot of the feeling I believe are enhanced by the drug Midazolam that they used and it show they have considered the side effects of this drug. Midazolam can lead to the patient experiencing daydreams with a sexual content.

Daughter's ear infection was not responding well to prescribed antibiotic. Dr called in levaquin as replacement. Within THREE MINUTES, daughter was having reaction to levaquin. Within thirty minutes of taking levaquin, I had her in the ER. She is 15 years old, 5'5" 115 lbs, active healthy teen. Heart rate was 130. BP 130/88. She couldn't stop shaking, difficulty breathing, lips/tongue swelling, face, hands and feet numb.

How is this supposed to help??? I am diagnosed as rapid cycling bipolar. Geodon tops the list as the worst stuff I have EVER taken!!! Beware.......I feel like I am on a massive dose of amphetamines. Can't sleep, can't eat. Tongue is swollen and I feel like I cannot breathe. I have to keep stretching my muscles because they are so tight and I cannot stop clenching my teeth. My eyes are dry and I can't close them to sleep. I have goosebumps and am confused. Cannot seem to move, I feel like there are weights on my arms and legs. I am scared to drive because I almost went through a train crossing with a train going through it. I feel like hurting myself and my husband says I twitch all the time when I am finally able to sleep after about 48 hours.

I began taking prednisone a week ago for a severe case of poison ivy. prior to taking it, i did a little research and heard all of the horror stories, so i was very anxious. the doctor prescribed 20 mg three times a day to start, with a taper-off beginning three days later. my wife, who is a nurse, was shocked at the high dose, consulted with a friend who is a nurse practitioner and we all agreed to cut the dosage by 60%. I began to take the drug, and relief was almost immediate. My hand was so swollen with the ivy, i couldn't make a fist. in 24 hours, the swelling had gone down, in a few days, the itching was gone and the ivy was drying up. In addition, i have had zero negative side effects. Contrary to what I have read, I actually have a decrease in appetite and a bit of weight loss. I have more energy and feel wide awake until about midnight every night. It takes a bit longer than usual to fall asleep, but I feel great upon waking up in the morning. All in all, I have had a very positive experience with prednisone, and that is a lot for me to say, as I despise pharmaceutical companies, and take no prescription drugs at all (well, except for an occasional prescription decongestant when allergies flare up.) But I shudder to think of what would have happened if I had started on the massive dose the doctor originally prescribed.

I HAVE BEEN ON PREDNISONE FOR OVER A YEAR TO TREAT MG. I STARTED ON A MASSIVE DOSE (120MG), BUT NOW, THANKFULLY, I AM DOWN TO 15MG EVERY OTHER DAY. I GAINED THIRTY-FIVE POUNDS, AND HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO TAKE IT OFF YET. MY FACE IS NEARLY TWICE THE SIZE IT USED TO BE. IT SUCKS BECAUSE I AM ONLY TWENTY-TWO YEARS OLD AND NO ONE RECOGNIZES ME ANYMORE. I'M SICK OF IGNORANT PEOPLE AND THEIR STUPID COMMENTS-I'M TIRED OF HAVING TO EXPLAIN MY SITUATION TO EVERYONE. PEOPLE SUCK...I SHOULD BE DOWN TO 5MG EVERY OTHER DAY, SOON. MY DOC SAYS THE SIDE EFFECTS SHOULD START TO GO AWAY SOON-BUT I DON'T BELIEVE HIM. HE NEVER TOLD ME ABOUT THE RIDICULOUS SIDE EFFECTS OF THIS DRUG, SO I DON'T TRUST ANYTHING HE SAYS. IF HE HAD JUST TOLD ME ABOUT THE SEVERITY OF THE DRUG, MAYBE I WOULD HAVE CHOSEN THE ALTERNATIVE TREATMENT, BECAUSE, AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, THE SIDE EFFECTS OF THIS DRUG FAR OUTWAY THE BENEFITS. NO ONE UNDERSTANDS HOW I FEEL BECAUSE NO ONE HAS HAD TO GO THROUGH WHAT I HAVE HAD TO GO THROUGH. IF ANYONE WANTS TO CONTACT ME, FEEL FREE... I'M NOT AS CRAZY AS I SOUND.
