Nausiated symptoms and conditions

I would like to add my experience which has only been 3 weeks so far and I can tell you I have had the following symptoms with Yaz:

1. DAILY - EXTREME MOOD / ANGER ISSUES
2. DAILY - STOMACH CRAMPS
3. DAILY - NAUSEATED
4. DAILY - INSOMNIA
5. FREQUENT - HEADACHES
6. FREQUENT - BODY / JOINT ACHES
7. CONSTANT - PERIOD SINCE I HAVE STARTED - SO FAR A 3 WEEK PERIOD WITH NO ENDING TO SHOW SO FAR.

I switched to Yaz from LoEstrin and will be switching back immediately - seeing my GYNO tomorrow to get my old prescription so I can have a light 3-4 day period with minimal side effects - I never realized how good I had it with my old bc pill (for heavy bleeding only) until I tried YAZ! I hope this help others know that you are not alone as I realized that too after reading the previous posts. Thank You Ladies for sharing - you helped me and my family see that I'm really not a BEAST of ANGER after all! I miss my ability to be patient. I just threw away the rest of my YAZ pack - to never take it again. Best of Luck to those who want to try it and can be successful with them.

hello.. wow.. this site is unreal i mean i never found this UNTILL after starting yaz.. iv been on it for only like 7 days and from the 4th day iv started having terrible "head squeezing" "migraine" & attacks.. feel "nausiated" and "irratable".. i went on this at the advise of my obgyn after delivery of my baby..my major purpose was to get rid of the excess "hair growth" etc "due" to "PCOS".. ill be visiting my doc today to see was else she can advise instead of yasmin.. its funny how they prove to be synthetic ingredients and with least or no side effects.. what a load of bull****!

I too have nothing new to add just wanted to share my experience. I had severe bylateral ear infections accompanied by a sinus infection. My dr. gave me 10 days of augmentumn (sp?) it didn't work so she then prescribed 10 days of Levaquin (poison!) my insurance company didn't approve it at first so the pharmacy put a call into my dr.'s office and was waiting for an alternative. I was in so much pain from the ear infections that I did the single worst thing that I regret in my life. I called my insurance company and had them overide the rejection and approve the medicine, I wish to God I didn't. I did ask them if it was a controversial medication and they said no, just that it needs to be approved. Well, I started on Monday July 2nd and by Wednesday July 5th my knees started to ache really bad, just thought I walked a little too much on the 4th (nothing out of the ordinary I walk all the time and swim) well I thought it would subside and NEVER ever ONCE thought it was due to an antibiotic (aka levaquin/poison). I experienced sleeplessness and nauseau and didn't think anything of it, I know most antibiotics can make you nausiated. Well, by Sunday I could barely walk and when I had to crouch down to get something, I had tears in my eyes trying to stand up, the burning in my knees was unbearable and I still didn't relate it to the medicine, I had NO idea! Well, by Tuesday I took my 9th dose and my ears had felt better but my knees were getting worse, so I woke up on Wednesay and didn't take the medicine and then called the dr.'s. I asked if this could be related to the medication because it's not getting better, and the nurse said, I've never heard of that before, but hold on. She came back and stated "it says a side effect can be tendonitis and she said I needed to come in right away" I saw the dr. and she said, yes it's a side effect but it happens mostly in teenagers, but she was a little concerned that I was still having severe joint pain more than 24 hours after stopping the medication and that she wanted to do a lyme test. She told me that even if the lyme came back negative she was going to put me on dicylomine (sp?) for 3 weeks as a precaution because lyme tests can produce false negatives. She said wait another 24 hours and if I'm still in pain then she will prescribe the lyme meds. Well, 24 hours past and I got the lyme back, negative, my knees were killing, my muscles started to shake in my upper thighs and I was getting vibrating sensation along with muscle contractions. I called them back and on Friday and stated that I did some research on Levaquin and this is a side effect of the medication and I am NOT taking another antibiotic for a disease that I don't have! They asked me if I could wait until Tuesday to come see the dr because she was on vacation and I agreed hoping that my pain would subside with the prescription motrin and some ice. By Saturday (yesterday) it was moving down to my left shin and both the back of my ankles were killing like they were stiffl. I called and they said to put warm heat packs on and take the motrin and they would see me tomorrow if necessary. Well, the trembling in my legs were so bad that I had to take a diazapam to calm them down (which I didn't want to because I wanted to measure the pain, but couldn't stand it any longer) and put heat packs all day. I got some sleep last night (most likely due to the diazapam) I think the ice is worse for this but it feels better at the time. I am NOT getting any better, what is going on with me? I cannot believe this company has not been put out of business! I am going to see the dr's on Tuesday and am treating my condition as if it's tendonitits, I am now experiencing the muscle contractions in my arms. I am drinking water like it's my job and trying to stay off my legs with just a bit of stretching. I do pilates and go to the gym but have not gone since the 2nd of July the day I started the medication and am getting frustrated because I need to go for my back (arthritis of the spine with some herniated discs which are killing me now because I haven't been able to excersie or stretch). I am SO furious that this drug is on the market, the nurse said that it was a serious but RARE side effect to the drug and that she has never heard of anyone having it, well I don't think it's as rare as they would like to think and would like to do something about getting it taken off the market!

PLEASE tell me PLEASE has anyone just ONE person recovered from this HORRIBLE nighmarish pain and anguish? I am looking for that one beacon of hope that others have recovered and are feeling better, please anyone. I have children and I need to take care of them but I can't move my legs without excruciating pain going through them, especially the burning of the top of my knees. ANY help on how you took care of yourself would be great help to me. Thank you all!

It's the best pill I've been on (I've been on about 3 over the past 4 years). My others made me nausiated all of the time, but I haven't felt that way on Femcon. I haven't had any side effects at all and this is the first pill that has stopped my breakthrough bleeding. I like it.

In mid Dec 2006 my doc started me on 5mg, after 3 weeks - no change in my BP... so he upped it to 20mg... I tried it on a weekend day and got dizzy, nausiated and felt terrible... called an advice doctor.. and he sugested to do it gradually... slowly i upped it to 20mg again... My BP is down to 138/80 used to be 155/80... but I feel tired, lethargic and no energy... not sure what to do... I also get the dry mouth (especially middle of the night waking)... cough not always dry and feeling like I'm not totally focused...

I also have had some of these crazy side effects but but most of them are just the effects of having an infection and I think the Biaxin perpetuates those effects. I have the Metallic taste in my mouth and the first couple days I got nuasiated after taking each dose. The sweats and nightmares too!! Wow I thought it was just something else. Let me tell you though I have not been able to sit down. Which is a good thing I guess but I guess that is just anxiety. After a couple days on this drug the side effects went away other than the metalic taste and increased energy. I cleaned my house for 12 hrs for 2 days. I am not going to complain but I find this to be very weird. Energy and motivation from a antibiotic... It does seem though that I get rare side effects from any medication I take but this is a trip. I sure which it didn't feel like I sucked on steal for a whole day!! I find these side effects to be very bizare but I guess when I need some energy I'll just take a Biaxin..well that is i'll feel better after the nausiated feeling goes away. Ha ha taking for reason other than precribed, isnt that abuse LOLOLOLOL

I was prescribed Sulfameth/Trimthoprim 800/160 by an ER Dr for UTI and took for 10 days as directed. I the drug did make me nausiated but if it was going to help my infection I thought I could indure that. It cleared up the infrection ok but within a week I broke out in a TERRIBLE rash from head to toe. I have never itched so badly in all of my life! I had no idea what it was and used every over the counter remedy until I was able to see my doctor who told me it was a delayed allergic reaction to the sulfur drug and gave me a steriod shot and a histamine pill to take. It has been the worse for me and I will NEVER take a sulfur drug again in my life especially this one.

I've only been on yasmin for a week now, I have been feeling extreme tiredness, dizzyness, nausiated, very lightheaded ever since I started, I'm only 21 but have been on depho since 16. I just got off of it, should I stop the yasmin if this problem goes on, I need some advice. thank you, misti

I was perscribed this medication for a bacterial infection. I have only been on doxycycline for 3 days (1 dose of 100 mg in the AM and another in the PM) and each morning with or without food I am nausiated until late afternoon. I have also experienced a loss of appetite, headaches, acid reflux, and severe hot flashes. The doc says to keep taking as perscribed unless my side effects get much worse. I can't wait until I am normal again!

Ever since i had been diagnosed for having Upper Respiratory, darn near Bronchitis, the dr. put me on Omnicef, symptoms have not been all the same that i have read, but this is what i am experiencing, hopefully someone can help me out:
-very weak
-no energy to do much
-nausiated at times
-headache
-dizziness
-no sleeping at times
-night sweats
-no solid stool (no blood or anything that i know of)
now reading all of the side effects that people have experienced i think that i am going to stop taking this med to see if i improve, i do not want to continue having no energy, be weak or anything, please help me if you can

Hi:) I have been on Paxil for about a year now and have decided to go off of it. I slowly went down in dosage from 60 mg to 10 mg which is what I am on now. My question is, How do I totally get off this drug? I tried getting off of it totally, but the side effects are way too bad... they are bad enough with 10 mg. I'm lost and don't know where to go from here. My eyes are blurry, I'm extremely nausiated, my moods are everywhere, I get zapping headaches that refuse to leave, etc. PLUS, over the past year I gained 20 lbs from it, which frustrates me because I had worked so hard and lost 30 lbs and had been keeping it off until I was put on this drug! It's horrible. Although, Paxil did help me for a while, I'm not sure if it was worth it. I wish my Dr. would have told me how severe the withdrawl is because to be honest, I knew nothing about antidepressants, and I had no idea what I was getting myself into.

This drug is awful, I feel dizzy, lightheaded, shaky, tired, nausiated, have blurry vision, and trouble swallowing, hot flashes and trouble sleeping. I am stopping it today. It seems to work for my UTI, but the side effects are unbearable. I also have bruises all over my legs and I did not bump into anything!

I have recently started taking the Orthotricyclen pill. I have had nothing but trouble. I have diabetes, and therefore it has completely screwed up my bloodsugar. This is fine. I have finally found a way to control them. But, I am having some other adverse effects. I am nausiated, EXTREMELY moody, very weird dreams, tired most of the time, etc. But I do have a question. I have slight crampiness in my lower abdomen. It is the same type of cramping (or uneasy feeling) that I get the day before my period. I do not know if this is normal. It does have me a bit concerned. I was told by my doctor that it is better if you do not have sexual intercourse after taking it, up to two weeks after. I was dumb however and did anyways. I am worried that the symptoms that I am having may be that I got pregnant even though I am taking the pill. (I had all of these symptoms when I was pregnant before) If these are normal symptoms, please let me know. (I haven't read anything about other people cramping...only uneasiness, not full on cramp)

I just started taking Yasmin a few weeks ago. I was advised to start it the first day of my perios. I did. I have been taking it at the same time ecvery evening but I am still having a period.

I also thought that I had food poisioning or something that just will not kick. I feel out of it and nausiated with a bad headache. I was told that nausea is a common factor for the first few months and to just try to "hang on" . Now I am starting to worry a bit that I won't be able to do it. I thought that I would research online side effects and when I discovered this site it was like women were telling MY story. What I have been experiencing and I am both relieved and worried that it is most likely caused by this pill.

Does anyone have any bad exp with the patch or with seasonale (newer one)?

All comments would be greatly appreciated!

Hope all is better soon for everyone. And to those of you who have not had negative side effects, beleive us you are all lucky chickadees :)

My doctor started me on Zocor in December to lower my cholesterol. New Years Eve I developed a fever and a pain in my groin area on my right side. My doctor diagnosed it as kidney stones. I was taking the Zocor, they told me to drink plenty of water. When the stone hadn't passed the next day they gave me Viagra to take and told me to drink beer. I asked about the beer and Zocor because it said not to drink with this drug but the doctor said it was ok. I drank two cans of beer for two days. The third day I drank a can of beer and threw up. The pain in my right side moved and finally stopped. Three days later I had severe lower back pain. The doctor told me that I had a severe kidney infection from passing the kidney stone. He gave me antibiotics and pain killers. After the antiobiotics I was in pain again. It started in my right groin area, I also had pain on my right side, lower back, legs, knees and arms. I was sent to a urilogist to rule out a kidney problem. I told him my symptoms and he said it sounded muscular. At this point I could not walk without help from my husband, I was nausiated, could not sleep at night after taking the Zocor, no sex drive even after the pain got better. For one week I could only lay in bed in pain. There were all kinds of tests done on me and they could not find anything wrong with me. The only relief I got was the shot the urologist gave me and the Viox for the pain. I called my doctor and told them that I thought it was the Zocor. I also experienced numbness in both my hands and arms. Four days since I stopped taking Zocor. Feel better already. I will not take this drug again. I pray symptoms will leave.
