Painfull symptoms and conditions

I was put on Yasmin not for birth control but for the beginning of fertility treatments. I was on Yasmin only 1 months. After about 2 days I started getting symptoms. I called the Pharmacist and my fertility doctor and they both told me the pill wasn't the culprit. But after the 20th day I just couldn't take it anymore I went off of it. After starting Yasmin I had TERRIBLE Panic attacks, Anxiety ( still have to this day two months later), Heart Palpitations, leg cramps, boobs hurt, breathing trouble ( still to this day), HORRIBLE thoughts, adrenaline rushes all hours of the day, tingling in my hands and feet, my mind feels fuzzy, no appetite, no sex drive, depression, crying fits for hours, I felt like i was going insane.... You name it I had it. I stopped the pill two months ago and I still have the horrible anxiety/attacks, feel like i cant breath properly, OCD about my breathing.

I went to the hospital and got checked for blood clots in my lungs, legs, Asthma test, EKG, blood tested, was put on heart monitor all came back normal. I have started seeing a therapist, on depression meds and none of it is working. I feel like this pill has ruined my life and i wasn't even trying to stop life i was trying to help create it.

Here i am two months after stopping the pill and yes some of the stuff has went away but i still suffer with Anxiety from the time i wake up in the morning till the time I go to bed at night. And sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night with anxiety. My head is getting a little clearer and I am not as depressed as before. But I am just praying that this anxiety goes away. I have NEVER been a person who can't handle stress or gets anxiety/panic attacks and since it started it hasn't stopped. I am so very weak, muscles ache so much which i think is from the anxiety attacks and the muscles tightening.

So if you have this... you are not alone! I am suffering with it everyday. It is so debilitating I cant do much. Has anyone else had this months after stopping Yasmin?

well I am still on Mirena and I am scared to get off of it. I have 2 kids and i was on depo&pills with both kids... and the Mirena is the only thing that helps but its very painful with all of the side effects.. my body feels like i always have the flu,i get sharp sharp stomach pains all day every day...its hard to tack my 3 yr old outside to play and lift my 1 yr old ........the only reasons i got on Mirena is i cant have another kid is already hard being 20 yrs old wit 2 kids...well what I am saying is what should i do ..what other birth controls could i use that is effective like Mirena but without all the side effects .........a.k.a JADAKISS

I was wondering if any of you are experiencing tingling in your hands and feet, which increases during sleep. I have been on this medication for two months and have just started noticing this sensation.

Seroquel is awesome. I, at the age of 50 realized that most likely I was Bi-Polar. My swings we not drastic but were hard on me and people close to me. I am taking 300mg at bedtime. I sleep like a rock, wake up with a slight haze which disappears after my first cup of coffee. I feel on top of my problems and not underneath them.
I have a theory about the weight gain, something that may possible help. I noticed I was becoming constipated a bit. I think that when your food stays in too long, your body sucks out every bit of fat, etc. I bought some Metamucil, which works great to keep things moving quickly. I also have modified my diet to lean eating.
I am having one problem. I have a crick in my neck, on the left side. It is very painful, kind of like I have pulled something. We went out to a Christmas Party last night and I had a few drinks. The neck pain came on quickly. Anybody else have this?

I went on levaquin-2 rounds of it, due to pneumonia. I felt very out of sorts and discombobulated. Dizzyness, word recall problems, insomnia, diahrrea. My tongue was coated with a thick white film. One night my tongue and my hand felt very disconnected to me, and I had a strange but familiar taste or sensation in my mouth but I couldn't name it. It lasted 3 or 4 minutes. I think I may have had a petit mal seizure. I have been having trouble with my vision, things I read are blurry now, and I have never worn glasses, or had vision problems before. I have been off of this medication for 6 days now, and I am still feeling some of these side effects. I rarely have any side effects from medications. I will never take this again.

i had the mirena fitted 6 months ago, ive not had many side affects but two. one is the sexual intercourse is very painfull with cramping for up to two days after. The other is that ive had weight gain and no matter how much i exercise and diet i cannot shift weight. Went to have mirena removed and threads have gone up inside me, have now got, to go to hospital and have it out under aneasthetic. Mirena is bad news find alternative.

I had the Mirena put in last year and since then it's been anything but good. I had consatnt spotting to light periods that would last weeks and I would be flow free for one day maybe two days if I was lucky. After, about 9 months with no change I was put on birth control pills to help regulate my cycles, Ohh how could I forget the Mirena also caused the worse cramps EVER I had them on a daily bases. Anyhoo, The pills didn't help just caused more problems. It ended with me having to have it taken out because one night I was having sex with my hubby and I got a very painfull feeling on the left side of my vagina. The doc said I had to have it out right away and it turned out the mirena was slightly bent and was rubbing against my insides and my hubby just shoved it more. I got and infection and it was painful to have it taken out. tear...

PEOPLE, PLEASE DO NOT DISCONTINUE THIS MEDICATION SUDDENLY, IT CAN BE DANGEROUS!!!

I have been reading about this medication here for some time, and I feel concerned when I read about someone deciding to just quit taking it suddenly. I personally intend to quit as soon as I find a doctor with enough knowledge to help me wean off of it in a safe manner. I've been on it for two years, and the side effects have grown worse than my original health problem, so I understand wanting to just up and quit taking it, but after learning the hard way, I've found out it's not so easy.

Do your homework, read and learn about the potential 'rebound effect' and by all means, talk to your doctor before doing something that may cause you to be in danger ( as in having a heart attack)...if you don't believe me, learn for yourself, the information is easily researched.

Blessings, and good luck...

My wife gave me her pills to help with my acne. The last 2 months they find me crying in a corner after lunch on the construction site. But it's not me, it's everyone else.. The other guys pick on me for having painfull pectoral muscles. My family isn't sympathetic because they say a real man shouldn't cry. I keep freaking out that my wife is pregnant - but that is in possible with my other side effects downstairs. I have to go now. Someone is after me.

I couldnt believe all the posts on here, Im not crazy thank god. I've been on the NR for over a year now, and progressivly been getting more depressed, and feeling down right nuts sometimes. Along with feeling like my emotions have been totally out of control (crying for no reason), Ive had physical side effects from the stupid thing as well, weird discharge, really painfull swollen breasts, headaches (which Ive never had a problem with), Horrible (scary) blot clots when I do have my period. Ive lost over 45 pounds in the past year, which sounds great except it's from not having any appetite sometimes for days, not to metion the nausea I get when I do eat. My doctor blew me off regarding the emotional side effects, but now I know Im not the only one and it must be the hormones doing something to me, the ring is going in the trash today, hopefully I'll start feeling better soon.

I was given prednisone for extreme posion ivy at 4years old. I ended up getting posion ivy at least 6 times a year until I was 12 years old. I had posion ivy so bad that my doctor would give me a predisone shot and the pill form along with something to stop the itching. By the time I was 6 years old I noticed my clitours had enlarged, and I was able to have mutilple orgasm's, at that age I didn't understand what was going on but I didn't care. I started to notice I was the fastest and strongest child in my school. I became very muscular and a little agressive. These side affects got even more extreme as I got older. I wasn't sure why I was the way I was, I just assumed that it was normal, but I knew I was different then the other girls. I ended up having over 100 shots of prednison by the time I was 12 years old. I stoped getting posion ivy when I was 13 and stoped taking predinsone. I became real tried and wanted to sleep all day, were before I had so much energy. It got to a point where I lost all sexual feeling and I became very depressed and frustrated. I just spirled down from that point not knowing why. I had sex for the first time when I was 16 and it was painfull, that's when I knew something was reeally wrong. I started looking for answers and found that taking prednisone had made me feel great when I was taking it but once I stoped I didn't even feel like a person anymore. I got posion ivy again when I was 21 and was given prednisone again. I started to notice that not only did my posion ivy go away but I got my energy back and sexual feeling for about 2 months, I was a whole new person. That's when I really relized what had happend. I went to a doctor and told them what I had experianced. They checked my hormone levels, and found out that my body wasn't making enough testosterone or estrogen, explaining why I lost energy and sexual feeling. I started taking depo testosterone and it has changed my life. The doctor's were hesitant to give it to me, but when they saw the changes in my hormonem levels and the changes with me mentaly, we decided to keep taking it. I ended up having to find my own answer's because no doctor understood why I was feeling that way. I will have to have hormone therapy for the rest of my life. Doctor's told me before I started taking testosterone that I had the hormone levels of an 80 year old women, and I was only 21. Now I am 25 and have been on hormone therapy for 4 years, I am only half way there hormonally, I hope I get to feel like a noraml 25 year old, but I might not be where I need to be until I'm 30. I lost so much of myself and my life to this drug predinsone. If I could re-du it I would have never taken it.

Hello

For about 10 years I've been using an ACE inhibitor. First enalapril, but after I figured out I had dry eyes and feeling misserable, I was put on accupril (same group - also same group as lisinopril).

A year after starting the ACE inhibitor I was diagnosed with (severe) dry eyes.

Afer stopping with the ACE inhibitor for a while I felt somewhat better. I tried taking half of my normal dose. Next day I felt terrible; painfull eyes, not feeling good, dunno how to describe it better. I still am not sure though if it is the pills. It' snot like I take it and 2 seconds later I feel bad.

I would like to come in contact with people who dealt with the same probs. Please sent me a personal message if you like. Thank you :)

I was so miserable while on this medication. I only took 5 doses and had a terrible itchy rash on my rear, ball sack and penis. Also had reaction under both arms. The worst thing was a sever sore in my mouth the size of a silver dollar. It was extremely painfull it bled and took a week to go away. I thought I was dying. As I got closer to a week of not being on it things did get better, but like another guy stated, my ball sack was on fire and a bit swollen. I had been on this once before and the side effects were minimal, but once you have been exposed, the next time you take it could cause severe problems if you are allergic, you could even die. If you can take something else, I would highly recommend not taking sulfameth ever ever ever.

Have been Diovan for a month now and am experiencing dry eye and breast tenderness. Does anyone else have these problems?

i am wondering could this pill cause my feet to burn and get very painfull the burning feels like you are walking on hot coals and you have to put your feet in a bucket of water which only helps for a short time could you please let me know and if it dose what could i do thanks lyn.

This is the worst stuff I have ever used. After five months, I shake as though I have MS, my face twitches my joints and muscles feel so painfull that I have had to reduce physical activity. I am less ambitious and am having trouble articulating words that I use frequently.

Irregular heart beat.
Pain in left side of chest, back, neck, shoulder and left arm.
Swollen, painfull left ankle.
General aches.
Only 3 hours sleep a night.

I developed a painfull rash around the anus. Has anyone ever gotten that?

I've been taking Ovcon 35 for 2.5 months now. I was put on the pill due to a cyst that had burst, and in hopes to regulate my cycle for a better chance to get pregnant. I have gained weight, have really tender breasts, bad rash on my legs, headaches, nausea and I am tired all the time. I do now get my period every month always on the week of the green pills, but now its heavier and lasts longer than it used to and the cramps are sometimes very painfull. The only things that are really bothering me about this pill is the rash on my legs and the being tired all the time. No matter how long I sleep I always feel like I havent slept in days. My sex drive has increased a whole lot, but I cant complain about that. I havent really noticed an increase in breast size but I do notice that when they are really tender they feel different, and sometimes the tenderness feels like aching muscles. Like I was weight lifting all day.

Throat on fire... feels like throat is clogged up and something wants to come up through throat. Very painfull all day... antacids do not help.

My Doctor put me on Lipitor 20 for a preventive maintance. I took it for about a month and my muscles and joins hurt so bad I could hardly get out of bed come morning. I also came up with a urinary track infection. The doctor took me off the lipitor for two weeks gave me meds for the infection. Two weeks later infection was gone most of my pain was gone except for my knee pain. He wanted me to try the Lipitor 20 again saying that the Infection might have been the problem. I did four days and 4 lipitor 20 tablets and I am in real pain and I have a urinary track infection again. He has taken me off the lipitor and the infection has cleared up, But my knees are still so painfull. there is times I don't think I will be able to stand up. Will my knees ever get back to normal? P S my Doctor says the infection is not due to lipitor but can't explain why I get it while I am taking the lipitor.

I also have had problems from Levaquin. My problems started in April after being perscribed the drug for a sinus infection. I took the first pill with little or no side effects. By day three I had pain in my left hand so bad that I could not use it at all. On the sixth day the pain was bad that I could not do anything more then , lay in bed. The pain is in my arms and legs and hips and back, my ankles are sore, my elbows you name it. I just finished up a 20 visit run to the Physical therpaist for tennis elbow, then carpel tunnel syndrom. This is all in my left hand and arm where all of this started. My doctor is showing little or no concern about this. I am so tired of feeling this way. I have shakes in my legs that I can not control. I am tired all of the time and I get little finished before needing to rest again. Typing this is painfull. I have two active sons and I can not keep up with them at all. That is really hard to keep telling them no to everything they want to do . I hope that someone will read this and can help me. It is now September and I have already had enough. Thank you Marylee
