Norco symptoms and conditions

I'm 18 and had my first son June 4, 08; I got the mirena put in late june 08. This is the worst choice I've ever made health wise. It started when it was inserted - severe cramping like I was having a miscarriage or something. They made no mention of this before hand. I started having spotting and constant light cramping since the day I had it put in for the first 3 weeks. When the time comes for my regular period I get severe cramps that nothing relieves. I've used ALL the ibuprofen and Norco pills that have been prescribed to me in 2 weeks. I'm out of all OTC ibuprofen even though it offers no relief. I called the OBGYN and they say the cramping is normal and just to take two ibuprofens (the ones I had which were 300 mg each) EVER 6 HOURS.

When I went in for a check up, they said it was normal and it would hurt for the first 2-3 months. I then told them that I took all my prescribed Ibu. and then moved to the norco which seemed to be the only relief as I've tried warm baths, Alieve, Advil, Motrin, sleeping in different ways, hot and cold compresses and nothing. He offered to prescribe me ANOTHER form of Ibuprofen as if he didn't hear me mention I have been taking 600 mgs of Ibu EVERY 6 hours since I had it in. Then he told me all he could say was to try Noproxem and that it was just Alieve. He then just told me as I left pissed off to give it more time.

I'm now passing big clots and bleeding in shades of brown and bright red, have severe cramping bleeding through OVERNIGHT maxi pads that you can supposedly wear for up to 8 hours. But he says everything is normal and just give it time. I'm down to begging my mom for her prescription Hydrocodone and she's beginning to think I have a drug dependency problem even if I go for a few days without mention or thought of one at all. Because of this I'm in pain all the time, losing my hair, constantly tired, depressed because there's nothing I can do for the pain, and I'm gaining back all my pregnancy weight. I'm also a pain to be around because I now have severe mood swings that I didn't even have when I was pregnant. And now I have to wait to get my medicaid again to have it removed. As of right now the cramping is so bad I'm on the edge of going to the ER to get it taken out.

The commercials are a lie and every user comment of mirena are just like mine or worse. I would not recommend this to ANYONE (unless I hated them enough). Mirena is a form of torture.

I started taking Levaquin last Friday ( the 11th) for a severe sinus infection. I was prescribed 750 mg for 5 days. I finished that but my sinus infection didn't improve so I was prescribed another 5 days of 750 mg. I took the pill yesterday and today ( totally 7 pills) I noticed on about day 2 or 3 that my legs felt tight, but thought it was a normal side effect. Then my lower back. I wasn't in serious pain at all so I ignored it. Today my knees, knuckles, shoulders, elbows, are extremely sore and i get sharp pains every now and then. It also hurts to sit for too long. I started researching the drug and now am so terrified after reading all these horror stories. Has anyone had this only last while taking it and not for months afterwards? Or am I pretty much in this for the long haul. And to the people who say that it lasts for months or years is it pain that disables you from working and doing daily things? I'm only 23 and I live a very active life and I'm totally freaked out now. PLEASE HELP

Hello,

I read about how YAZ birth control pill affects the body and psych and I am now scared. This is my 2nd day of YAZ (I've never been on birth control pills ever and I am 27 years old), it's all new to me but after reading all these negative posts about Yaz I don't know what to do. Before the birth control pills, I was depressed, annoying, serious weight problems - 210 lbs :~~((, low energy, low libido, always tired, terrible migraines every 2nd day, ridiculously increased appetite and excessive hunger, hair where it shouldn't be, menstrual blood clots, excessive cramping etc
I have all these problems for 3 years now and now that the family doc. put me on YAZ birth control pill I am even more scared - mainly of more weight gain, it would be a tragedy for me, I am fat enough already and what's worse I can't lose the weight, exercise doesn't help, diet doesn't help, NOTHING. Will YAZ birth control pill worsen my already tragic condition? I just don't know what to do and what to believe ... I appreciate any advice or help you can give me ... Thank You to all!

Rapid opiod tolerance that within three months I went from 50 to 75-100 then 100 with 3 Norco's every four hours. I would get euphoria first day, O.K pain relief second day and third day withdrawals. Therefore my doctor prescribed them every two days.

I take 3600 MG/Day to help with an indiopatic neuropathy on both legs. It does work very well and I am more or less able to live my life except for the side effects which are memory loss (I now write everything down) and sleepless nights.

I was in a 4 wheeler accident and fractured my shoulder, I'm having problems with drs, but my prim. care Phys. put me on ULTRAM ER 100MG if I take 1 during the day and 1 at night along with the Norco 10/325 it works really well.
I have chemical damage to my liver and ULTRAM does very well for me and helps to stop the pain as well.

I have a prescription for topamax now for 3 weeks and I have been scared to death to start it just because of the side effects of nurontin. Those were nothing compared to what I have been reading for topamax!! I have badly damaged nerves, plus I take many other meds such as oxycontin, norco, soma, baclofen, phernergan, levid and xanax. I am waiting on my nuro doc to tell me if taking topamax is ok. My memory is my life....I have a great ability to multitask about 12 things at once and do them all at 100% and have a memory like an elephant...I dont want to lose that and from what I have read, topamax will do it to me. I can handle the nausea and anxiety because I have meds for that. I wear strong glasses already because of my bad eyesight...I am afraid of making it worse. Please give me your opinions. I have a home to take care of and a husband and 2 young daughters...my husband does so much for me and the thought of this drug making me hate him or treat him bad is more than I can handle. He does it all for me, get me out of bed, take me to the bathroom, get me dressed sometimes..I am scared. Someone please give me some advice.
