Hi and please feel free to email me. I was on Lipitor for quite a while (20mg)without any issues. Due to insurance etc I was switched to 40mg of simvastatin---with in a short time i noticed i was waking nearly every morning with a mouth full of junk requiring a deep throat clearing. Then a low level sore throat that persisted for more than two weeks. I went to my doc who agreed that it may be related (though I think she doubted it) and had me stop. Now i have been off for 5 days and still my throat is sore (though not sore to swallow) and mouth generally feels "messed up".
If any of you have had any sore throat experiences etc please let me know. Also how long did your side effects last once you came off the drug?

I have been on Yaz for 3 months now.. I just want to start off by saying i love it! I use to take tri-cyclen.. that use to be the only pill i could take b/c all other pills made me bleed all the time..so i like tri-cyclin(not sure if i'm spelling it right cuz i took generic tri nessa) but the only problem is i was so psycho and messed up.. i felt like iwas going to go crazy i was a total bitch and my moods were so messed up i almost got on antidepressants.. but my dr. gave me yaz and i have never been better! i feel great i have lost weight my periods are very light..i'm happy everything is wonderful! the only thing i have noticed is diareha and at first i had a funny taste in my mout but i also have constipation as well and i have been reseaching I.B.S (irritable bowel syndrome) which i though i might have had before taking yaz.. so all in all i love the pill but a little concered about the consitpation and Diarreha but i'm looking into it

I have been on Celexa for a number of years and am taking 60 mg. My side effects keep get worse. I have trouble sleeping, I have horrible mood swings...lots of angry outburts, I have migraines, light and noise senistive, shaky, weight for sure. I have had a change in my sense of taste, I grind my teeth at night, I have no sex drive at all, blurry vision. I have dry eye and mout, skeletal pain, eye pain, hot flushes, edema, loss of balance craving for sweets and salty foods, more depressed than before b/c of all of the side effects and I am tired all of the time. I am only 35 years and I should be enjoying live instead I hide in my house away from the outside world.
