Medical sites symptoms and conditions

I started using the nuvaring on August 24 for the first time. That was the first day of my period. My periods usually last four days but I have bad cramps. My gyno prescribed the nuvaring to stop the cramps. Well this month I had the worse cramps that I have ever had. My period lasted for six days and then started the brown smelly discharge, headaches, lower back pain, tiredness and irritability. I got on the internet to research the side effects of the ring and could not find my symptoms on any of the medical sites. I found this site and found that my symptoms have been experienced by most women using the ring. It has been years, approximately 9, since I used any kind of birth control and I know my body well so I know that the nuvaring is causing these problems. I am going to talk to my gyno about it and will probably seek some other method of relieving the extreme cramping that does not cause other problems. I do not see the sense in stopping one problem but causing 10 others.

I too have experience a late period, 11 days late so far. In addition, I am having extreme nausea. I thought maybe I was pregnant, I took 3 tests and all are negative. I have been on the Wellbutrin for 1 month now and am not really thrilled with the results. Actually, I find it's not helping at all.

I was on Celexa for about 6 months and loved it with 2 exceptions. Hair loss and a huge loss of my sex drive.

My thought is that none of these drugs are without side effects...there is no free ride.

Anyone else have similar experiences with Wellbutrin?

I am upset because neither the Pharmacist or my Doctor were any help. I thought I was going crazy. I have been on this med. for 6 or 7 weeks of which have been absolute misery. I have experienced numbness and tingling in my finger tips, headaches, yellowing of my skin, severe nausea but never throwing up, unable to eat and yet gaining weight, severe dizziness and nearly passing out, fatigue, pain in my legs when I exert myself (climbing stairs to my bedroom), unable to stay asleep at night, leg cramps, stomach pains, anxiety!!, depression, grouchy, extreme bleeding with my monthly cycle (my normal cycle is 3 to 5 days this cycle lasted 3 weeks and counting), coldness, heart palpitations, chest pains, wheezing and deep dry hacking cough. I just felt like I was going to die also thought it could possibly be menopause, low blood pressure (90/60). Because BP was low I took 1/2 the dosage day before yesterday (5mg). Yesterday I stopped taking it altogether and I was able to eat (yeah!!!!) with only minor nausea. Today my legs are not hurting as bad going up and down the stairs and my bleeding has really slowed down. I don't have a headache but I am still coughing and am having the problem with the numbness and tingling in my fingertips. I see dramatic improvement. I believe if my husband had not researched the side effects of this drug online, it would have killed me. Also he thinks that women should not take this drug because of the emotional impact on the husband! Also I am so angry that his happened to me in full sight of the medical professionals !@!@!@ I will be posting this message on as many medical sites that will take it.
