JILL HERE. HALO TO ALL. NOT ONLY DID I HAVE WHAT IVE POSTED TO DATE ON LIPITOR. 20 MG. BUT THE DR. HAD THE AUDACITY TO SAY TRY TEN MG. MY QUESTION TO THAT IS , IFF TEN MG WOULD DO IT, WHY GIVE TWENTY TO START WITH. HOWEVER. AS IVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND CODEINE AND PARACETAMOL THIRTY MG. ON THE LIST AS SUCH AND IT MAY BE THERE IN ANOTHER WORDING. I CAN HONESTLY SAY AND TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO SAY THAT MY SON WAS MURDERED BY A NEGLIGENT NON CARING INCOMPETANT MEDICAL PERSON AND POISONED BY XANAX AND CODEINE AND PARACETAMOL. IVE ALL THE EVIDENCE AND PROOF OF THAT. DO YOU THINK THAT THE MEDICAL BOARD HERE IN WESTERN AUSTRALIA CARE. NO. ITS ALL A OUT INVESTED INTERESTS EG POLITICS ETC. OF WHICH IVE NO TIME FOR. THERE IS ONE THING THAT NEVER WILL BE PREVENTED FROM BEING TOLD AND THAT IS THE TRUTH OF WHAT HAPPENED TO MY THIRTY FOUR YEAR OLD SON. ALTHOUGH THE CORONER SAID , AN OPEN VERDICT. THE EVIDENCE AND HARD CORE EVIDENCE AND PROOF IS JUST WHAT I SAID. WHEN IS THERE GOING TO BE THE RETURN OF RESPONSIBLE PEOPLE IN THE MEDICAL ARE WHOM PRACTICE TRUE CARE GOOD MEDICINE AND HIGH ETHICS AND INTEGRITY OF QUALITY. IT APPEARS IN AUSTRALIA NOW THAT IT TAKES A GREAT DEAL OF PEOPLE TO DIE AND THE NUMBERS TO RIZE BEFORE ANY THING IS EVER THOUGHT TO B E DONE, WELL ONE LIFE IS IMPORTANT AND SO WAS MY SONS. FROM A LADY WHOM ASKS MORE QUESTIONS THAN IS LIKED IN MANY AN AREA. ILL NOT BE ON THIS SITE AGAIN AS I ME GETTING MY OWN WEB PAGE ON THE TRUTH OUT IF NOT IN ANOTHER WAY. BUT I ME DOING ALRIGHT NOW OFF OF LIPITOR. I ME NOT GOOD FOR BUSINESS IN THE MEDICAL AREA AS I ME ALLERGIC TO ALL MOOD ALTERING CHEMICALS AND MY SCRIPTS ARE NOW NILL.
AS LIPITOR WAS THE ONLY ONE, NOW IT IS NOT AS YOU ALL KNOW. I ME NOT GOOD FOR BUSINESS BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE SCRIPTS. OF ANY KIND. GOOD LUCK AND REGARDS FROM A GRIEVING MOTHER AND JILL. SHARED EXPERIENCES.
BY THE WAY XANAX INTERFERES WITH THE EMOTIONS, AND MEMORY CENTERS, IS ADDICTIVE SO IS CODEINE AND PARACETAMOL WHICH DOESN'T HELP LIVER.NONE OF IT IS LIFE SAVING AND WAS NOT FOR MY SON.

I am brand new to this sight and have been on the generic for Yasmin-Ocella for almost 2 years and have about had it. I have chest tightness and am so moody sometimes that I start screaming at the kids for no reason and then break down in tears because of the way I have treated them. I am exhausted all of the time, I do have 2 small kids (5 & 2 1/2) but even when I do get 8-10 hours of sleep I feel drained. Like a depression. As I type this I am having the chest tightness. Only happens during the first week of a new pack. My OBGYN is having me skip the last week of the pack-which is when I feel like 100% my old self-no exhaustion, no moodiness etc &the only week that I have ANY sex drive too-because she thinks I have a torsion ovary. I will see what she says on the 29th but I want off of these pills... What is the point if you feel like crap, can't breathe and have NO drive what so ever!

I have had numerous side effects with tramadol (nausea, heart skipping beats, restless legs at night) but I was too desperate and needed something so I just started taking 2 half pills a day (total of 50 mg). Well, now I've quit after about 2 years because I have sudden onset swelling and tendinitis in both of my achilles tendons. There was absolutely no trauma involved and tramadol was my only medication. After doing research online, I found that this is a rare side effect to some other medications but it hasn't been mentioned for tramadol. I truly believe this is a side effect that just hasn't been reported yet. Also, it can lead to both tendons rupturing. I just hope I stopped the medication in time so that it doesn't lead to that. It's only been a few days and I have a lot of pain and difficulty with stairs. I think this will take a while to get over -- like all orthopedic related problems.

My 15year old daughter has just stopped taking Yasmin due to severe depression, anxiety attacks, uncontrollable crying, suicidal thoughts and chest pain with erratic heartbeat. I thank God that we figured out the connection to Yasmin. She has been spiraling down so quickly, I thought I was losing her. While she does not relish the return of heavy, long periods, she is so ready to have her sanity back. Her counselor and gyn confirm the strong likelihood of these being side effects of the Yasmin. I was ready to put her on Prozac and sleeping pills because the situation was so desperate! While I was on Yasmin for years with no adverse effects, there ARE people who are desperate because of this pill! The hundreds of posts are too numerous to ignore the REAL truth. Is is worth it to "just try it out" for a boob inflation? You are taking a serious risk, sweetheart!

I had been prescribed Levaquin for numerous sinus infections over the years and never had trouble with it till about three years ago! I took one around lunch time and with in 15 minutes my ears started to itch then I turned red from head to toe and was having difficulty breathing. By the time I got to the hospital I was in full blown anaphylaxis with intestinal and uterine distress (extreme cramping-very painful). I was in so much pain I just wanted to die, which if I hadn't gotten to the hospital when I did I would have. This is not something I want to ever go through again and wouldn't wish it on anyone. Has anyone ever experienced anything like this from a Levaquin or a quinolone?

I work in a health care system and we have used levaquin for this last cough, cold and flu season. It has worked wonders for the various upper respiratory infections.
No one has developed rashes, boils, or bone/muscle pain. After reading the first response, her abnormal reaction sounds more like a bad case of shingles.
Then, I read the last post where the person drank two glasses of whine to help with the blah blah blah. Mixing alcohol with any type of medication will not help with Your sypmtoms were a "full fledged panic attack" as you stated from the beginning.
Nothing but idiots posting here!

Hi to everybody.
replying to lilahk, i also had a fast heartbeat while on yasmin. I had one episode that really frightened me. My heart just started to race and would not slow down. I had an ecg done that afternoon and it just showed a very rapid heartbeat and pulse.
I did have a follow up appointment in which the doctors described it as a tachycardia. I stopped taking yasmin shortly after that and never experienced it again.
I can only describe it as feeling a butterfly in my chest. This went on for about 24 hours and then went back to normal.
I cant imagine what it must be like to have it ongoing. At least you are off yasmin now. As you will see from all the other ladies here it takes a while for your body to get back to normal after yasmin.
I really do believe that a good multivitamin helps a lot because i feel that for myself, yasmin depleted a lot of vitamins and minerals in my body. I was on yasmin for 4 years.
Please go to your doctor and tell them what is happening to you. Sometimes reasurrance is a great healer. It is terrifying when something is happening to you and no medical person will help or believe you. Maybe you are lucky enough to have a good doctor. I hope so.
Insist on answers. I had to.
Most of all try not to get too anxious about things. I know that when i was feeling bad i worried and then i felt worse. You will start to feel ok again soon. It just takes a little while for yasmin to leave your body.
Keep us posted on how you are getting on and i wish you the best of luck.

My daughter has been ill for the past two years. Please check out other postings by me on this site. Chelation Therapy will help - Gluten-free, Sugar-free. NO CORN SYRUP (alum. in it). Start eating fruits and fruit juices and greens. If the greens upset you stomach too much, back off until you have been gluten-free for a longer period. Take these vitamins and drink only distilled/bottled water. B6, B12, Omega 3, Folic Acid,

If you see a doctor, please ask them to check niacin levels because I believe that there is a link with a niacin impairment issue. Please check more at ****** if you want additional information and also file a VAERS report immediately so they will get this vaccine off the market! I am not a medical person but have done tons of research. Please pass the word to EVERYONE you know!
