Mouths symptoms and conditions

Seems like we're all in the same boat. I'm 43 and the Loestrin makes me breakout horribly, I scar very easily so now I get to deal with that. It happens in the first week of every month so I tried over the counter acne products, it helps keep it ay bay but the scars from it are just bad, now more money to spend to fix that. Mood swings?! Look out, I can't be around anything or anyone, I live in a neighborhood with a lot of kids and barking dogs and just want to duct tape their mouths shut, that's how aggravated I get, which starts at the mid to end of week 2 of the pills. My periods are pretty much non-existent but I've always had light periods so that doesn't bother me at all, yeah the loss of sex drive is bad too, plus being all bloated and huge now-AAHH!!!
I gained weight, could eat a house and not be satisfied, depression, etc. I'm trying Alesse, or the generic of that next, whatever is covered by the insurance, I told my doc I can't take it anymore, the loestrin she could give me a lot of sample packs for because my insurance won't cover that specific brand and $60 a month for them being unemployed now is really out of the question. I can only hope for the best on the Alesse.
Only advice I can give to anyone with the depression factor, try to work out, go for a long walk, it really helps too.
Good luck everyone and hang in there!!!

My son is 5 years old and has been on several different Medications for ADHD he is talking Vyvanse 50 mg for the last 9 mouths. I;m fixing to take him off of all of it because the side effects are worse then the ADHD.. He is cranky, no appetite, sad, and very bad facial tics.. He pops his jaws all the time and clears his throat every 5 seconds this is just crazy and I cant take it anymore... My poor baby... I just cant do this to him anymore. I'm going all natural.. and changing his diet..

I know everyones body reacts differently but I personally would not recommend this birth control method to anyone! Ive only had it inserted a mere week and 3 days ago and I hate it! The insertion was a breeze slight cramping and ive been bleeding ever since but I was made aware of that possibility.However, it seems that after walking for several mins I start feeling a sharp pain down below (no, not cramping) and i start walking a bit bowl legged in order to relieve the pain. It goes away when I sit or lay down for 20-30 mins but with a very active child I don't have the luxary. I'M GETTING IT REMOVED ASAP!

Omg! thank you all so much for stepping up here! I was supposed to have mine inserted on Nov 4th. I just got a call from a friend and her boss was on the this IUD and she lost so much hair she looked like she was going through chemo!! she ended up cutting it really short. I wonder if the doctors are aware of just how bad these side affects ARE.

I don't know about anyone else here but I am so sick of doctors and pharmacies messing with us like we are test rats! For people that don't know, doctors get major kick back from pharmacies for pushing these drugs on us. I am talking not just wined and dined but all inclusive vactions and such! Friends of mine are doctors....so yes I learned this straight from the horses mouths!

I was prescribed 500 mg Levaquin for 5 days for a uti.

After two days I got a cramp in my left calf muscle.

It's been 2 weeks now. My UTI still remains and I feel horrible. I'm taking Vicodin for all over pain. My calves, lower back, shoulders and knees ache badly. I feel like I have the flu, but without the nausea.

My Doc prescribed Nitrofurantoin to treat the UTI again. Can't wait to check it out.

I just found this site and have been reading the posts and I'm so pissed.

I read some posts that said this poison had left a metal taste in some mouths, so tomorrow I'm going to a CHELATION treatment center and start IV treatments. Chelation by intraveneous is good for getting metals out of your system. I had some treatments about 10 years ago to clean out my arteries and felt better, so hopefully this will work. I'll post the results here.

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!

My wife and I both on 14-day Biaxin XL for bad flus. We both have an absolutely completely disgusting tastes in our mouths. Have tried everything drinkable & edible for relief to no avail! My wife with some diarrhea, myself some sleeplessness. The worst is this taste! We are both hoping that we can last another 6 days until we finish. Will never take this med again if we can take an alternative!

I'm so glad I googled side effects of Yasmin and found this site. All of the sudden my mood swings for the past almost YEAR make sense. I started out fine. The pill was great, and I haven't had to worry about acne at all. Of course I gained a few pounds, but not too much. However, I'm a pre medical student trying to study for the MCAT this summer. I've been SO tired and drained and majorly depressed that I just can't seem to concentrate. I feel like I'm always crying over the stupidest stuff (AKA: no reason at ALL), and my grades are starting to suffer. Hopefully now that I've read this, I can stop taking this pill and see an improvement. It's just not worth the depression. I'm 22 right now, and until recently had never had a suicidal thought. I was starting to panic, because I couldn't identify the cause of my depression. I'm a good student, have lots of friends, and have the most amazing boyfriend and family. Life is good, I shouldn't feel this bad. Now that I have a clue as to what this may be, I can fix it.

I am a registered respiratory therapist and like to read about side effects of respiratory medications. For those of you who are suffering from these harsh side effects know that there are alternatives to steroids. Ask your doctors about mast cell stabilizers or leukotriene inhibitors...
Please remember to wash your mouths thoroughly after adminstering Advair to prevent what is called Candida (thrush) an oropharyngeal fungal infection.

I have been taking Toprol for about a year for heart palputations. Over the last few months, I began to experience a tired feeling. In the last four months, it has gotten worse and now I can't do my husehold chores. I have a trembling feeling in my arms, legs, and upper body.
I also experenced muscle aches. That has ceased since I have been off the Lipitor. I have had numerous blood work done and all has come back in the normal range. I have seen a Neorologist and the tests he gave me were also normal. My guess is, it is both the Lipitor and Toprol causing my problem. I am 68 years of age, always been on the go and a fun loving person. I would like to be that person again.
