Outpatient surgery symptoms and conditions

I'll try to make this as short as possible. I got my mirena January 2002. From the moment my doctor put it in, I was dizzy, sick to my stomach and light headed. He made that seem perfectly normal and said I would be fine in a few days. Over the next two days, I was in pain. Severe cramping in my abdomen and down my legs. Went back to the doctor a month or so after and he did an ultrasound to make sure it was where it should be. He said everything was fine. Well, switched jobs, and had no insurance and couldn't afford to have it removed so I dealt with the pain for years. Finally, my 5 years was up and time to have it removed. Went to my doctor in January 2008 to have it removed. My doctor spent over an hour digging around inside of me and couldn't remove it. I was in so much pain and moaning in his office, he decided it would be best to schedule me for outpatient surgery. Well, Friday May 23, 2008, I went to my local hospital and my Mirena was removed while I was under anesthesia. I'll find out when I go back for my check up, but I'm sure it was either embedded in my uterus or there was some other problem. I do know that even while I was under the anesthesia, my doctor had to use a scope to take pictures and find out where the mirena was. I will never do that again. I know other people that haven't had any problems with theirs but I won't ever get one again. I'm now trying the nuvaring. We'll see if I experience any changes from the removal over the next few days.

I took this medication after outpatient surgery before going to bed and could not get to sleep. By 3:00 A.M. I was dizzy, almost fainted, panting, and had extreme hot feeling under my skin which started in my arms. Thank God I was staying at my daughters and was able to wake her up for help.

She put ice cold tea towel on back of my neck got me to take deep breaths, and put my head between my legs. Within few minutes I began to stablized but was and am still screwed up from it after 6 days.

I also suffered constipation for 4 days after taking it.

I'd be very leary of this drug.

I'm currently on blood pressure and thyroid medication so I don't know if there was some type of interaction with them or what. Very unpleasant. It through me into horrible panic attack.

I am 40 years old and I haven't taken an antibiotic since I was in my early 20's. I was given this drug after an outpatient surgery.
I am on the 4th day of a 6 day perscription and I have been suffering from a burning in my stomach, I am freezing and it's 65 degrees outside. I have gained about 6 pounds of water weight, I know it's water weight because my feet are fat. I'm normally 115lbs, so I do not have fat feet.
The worst physical side effect is the bloating in my stomach. Although I haven't experienced any nausea, I absolutely do not want to eat because the Doxy makes my stomach feel like I swallowed a rhino any time I eat anything. However, I swing between not being hugry at all and wanting to eat everything in my house.
And if I hadn't entered this site I would have never figured out why I'm so damned depressed! I'm not moody by nature so there's no way I just decided to suffer from depression for the hell of it. I was cracking jokes before, during, and after my surgery. Today I feel like crawling in a hole and dying but I'm not suffering from any post-surgery pain! I hate this drug!
Oh, yeah, I also can't see very well, blurred vision.
