Month old baby symptoms and conditions

I was prescribed this medication on Thursday, 10/23. Ater taking my first dose, I immediately threw up. I read that this was a common side effect and thought nothing of it. I was fine after the 2,3, and 4th dose. Then I took the 5th dose on Monday night and woke up around 1:30 A.M. with severe burning and tingling in my feet. I put some muscle rub on it, and figured it was unrelated. I stand on my feet all day as a teacher and just thought my feet were tired. After taking the 6th dose, I once again woke up around 1:30 AM with very severe pain in my knees. I was in tears over the severity of this pain. Even now, my knees and feet are still hurting and tingling. I called the doctor today to see about getting my prescription changed, even though I only had 4 pills left to take, and she asked me to come in and be evaluated. Another co-pay, when they shouldn't have given me this poison to begin with! I am 24 years old, and have to take care of an 8 month old baby. My husband is scared out of his mind and so am I. I am way to young to have to deal with joint pain, and am praying that this isn't permanent damage!

I've had the mirena for 3 weeks. I got it when my non-hormonal IUD was starting to fall out, and my new doctor really pushed mirena on me. I was sure my insurance would cover it but, surprise surprise, I was billed a hefty $1,000 for this little thing inside me that is making me crazy!!! I have not stopped bleeding since it was "installed"--THREE weeks ago. I have backaches, headaches, and though I have not noticed any weight gain, I haven't noticed any loss either (even though I am at the gym 6 days a week and chasing around an 8 month old baby all day, you'd think I'd drop some pounds by now!). I have no sex drive anymore and though I have never been an emotional person, I am weepy all the time. My old IUD never made me feel this way, and I would NEVER have gotten a mirena had my doctor not absolutely insisted it is the "best form of birth control on the market". I'm so frustrated because I just got the mirena, haven't even paid the bills for it yet, and to remove it will be another huge bill I'm sure!

I have a 19 month old baby and she was prescribed Singulair when she was 15 months old after a bad bout of pneumonia. So she has been on it for 4 months and I haven't seen any severe side effects. To be honest, I am one of those people that follows whatever her pediatrician recommends and I trust that after 25 years as a doctor, he knows what he is doing. But all of these reports are now terrifying me. I haven't noticed any change in her behavior or moods, and she has always been a very rambunctious baby so if there has been any change (like increased aggression or anxiety) it is hard to tell in such a small child. Has anyone had any experience giving Singulair to a child this young (under 2)?

Im 20 years old, have a 5 month old baby girl, and have been on Loestrin for about 3 months now. Before i got pregnant, i was taking Loestrin and i was having HORRIBLE back pain, headaches and my husband thought i was CRAZY b/c of all the mood swings and crying. Needless to say, i quit taking the pill. About 4 months later, i was pregnant. After i had my baby, i decided to get back on BC b/c i do not want another baby right now. I started taking Loestin again, hoping it wasnt the pill that was makin me crazy. The first 2 months were ok. I started my period fine, i wasnt acting "crazy" and my back pain was normal(i have scoliosis). Now im on the 2nd week on my 3rd pack. I have been bleeding for about 8 days now, for no reason. I had my normal period and after the first week of the pack i just started bleeding out of no where. I also have noticed that i am very irritable and moody(like before) but much worse this time. I find myself getting aggrivated at my 5 month old and SHE CANT EVEN DO ANYTHING TO MAKE ME MAD!! SHE'S ONLY 5 MONTHS OLD. I cant take this anymore. I am not going to take Loestrin anymore. I agree with some people that side effects vary from person to person, but there are to many people taking Loestrin with the same side effects. I wouldnt recoment this for anyone!!

I had Mirena put in straight after the birth of my second child as recommended by my maternity hospital to have inserted 6 weeks postnatal and kept it in for seven months. At first I just had minor symptoms like spotting slight cramps and a little bit of vaginal discomfort due to the wires, and the only good thing was that my periods stopped eventually. As the months went on my health started to decline as the side effects crept up on me and I couldn't figure out what was wrong. I just thought it was because I have two small children and I was feeling worn out/burnt-out, it got to the point that I was struggling to do everyday tasks and look after my children. I am only 24 years old and I felt like I was a 50 year old grandmother!

I had the Mirena removed 3 days ago after reading this site and I feel so much better! This company must know that there are more side effects than they have listed, yet they still fail to list the serious and debilitating side effects their product is causing people. They were sending the maternity hospital I went to products with Mirena printed on to push their crappy product. The biggest worry I have about this thing is that I am breastfeeding and I had this stupid thing in for 7 months and some of it was coming through my breastmilk and I have noticed that my 9 month old baby girl had really bad clicking joints that have got better since the Mirena removal as have mine! (although not 100% back to normal yet) This company deserves to have their product removed from the market and someone to sue the pants off of schering. The product is completely unsafe!. If there are any long term side effects to myself or my daughter I WILL SUE THIS STUPID COMPANY AND THE DOCTOR AT THE MATERNITY HOSPITAL WHO PUSHED THIS PIECE OF JUNK TO ME. The warnings are completely inadequate - because I'm sure if all the possible side effects were listed next to no-one would have it put in. I feel that this thing is pushed on mothers so that you can't distinguish the side effects from hormonal changes that could possibly occur after the birth of a child to hide the fact their product is dangerous.

I have a 9 month old baby. At the age of 2 weeks he started having a lot of stomach problems which included constipation, colics, vomiting, blooding. After several medical examination it was found he had acid reflux and allergic to regular baby formula. He was placed a special formula called Nutramigen. At the age of 5 months we have noticed him to be very hyper, won't sleep much even during the night. During the day he might sleep twice a day (app. 9:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.) for maybe 45 minutes at the most. He wakes up twice a night when before he was sleeping for almost over 8 hours. Like I said this happened at 5 months old. He is on Zantac twice a day. Could this medication be affecting him in this manner. He at times looks quite tired, stays still for a little while and it seems like he recharges and gets more energy. This is also taking a toll on me as I don't get too much rest and the interrupted sleep at night is affecting me. Please let me know anything that you can on this situation or who or where you can refer me to for more research. I feel something is going on with this medication.

I have been taking Yasmin for about 3 months and I am getting married in less than 2 months. Along with having a 6 month old baby, I have been stressed to say the least. I have felt like I was loosing my mind in the past month or so. I've been so numb and all I can think is that this is suppose to be the happiest time of my life and I can't find joy in anything. I have no sex drive at all. This has made me rethink my upcoming marriage and basically my entire future. Thank god for this sight. I am not crazy, and I can stop beating myself up, over this.

Actually I'm thinking about going on celexa and I was wondering if anyone has heard of "Lexapro"...it's like celexa only it's been said to cause less side effects. Either way, I want some advice from anyone who is on either of these or has tried either one. My story is this: I'm 24 years old, I am the mother of a 17 month old baby and I have 2 step-kids. My husband's ex-wife is a nightmare and I am totally depressed just with life in general. I weigh 110 pounds and will FREAK out if I gain any weight because I've just always enjoyed being thin. I read an article on celexa and it basically said that only a small percentage of the people on it had significant weight gain...so maybe that small percentage of people are the ones who come on these message boards. I keep reading all these horror stories for all these different meds and I've concluded that the people seeking answers for their problems come on this web-site and read these side effect profiles...not the people who are happily getting on with their lives because their medication is working. So if there is actually someone who reads this who has something encouraging to say, please speak up! Thanx a bunch, R.N.

my husband just took zyprexa for the first time about 3 hours ago (5mg) about 45 minutes after he took it he could hardly keep his eyes open...now he is asleep and dead to the world- we have a 9 month old baby crying and playing and yelling right next to him and he hasn't budged...he eventually tried to stand up but fell down with weakness, and fell right back to sleep where he fell...i haven't had a chance to actually talk to him and see how he feels, i'm hoping this is just a one time thing since his body is not used to the med yet...let me know if any of you experienced this when you started and if so how long it lasts...also he is taking lorazepam (generic ativan) let me know if you have taken these 2 together and how they jive.....thanks...Dale's wife

I experienced drowziness and dizziness. I also had hot flashes and bouts of anger. I am a mother of a 4-1/2 month old baby and have never felt impatient towards him, but felt that way taking this stupid drug. I lost my car key, put out clothes for work the night before and forgot I did that, put my son's bottles in the freezer....and the list goes on. I was at the end stages of a sinus infection. All I needed was some freaking amoxicillin.
