this is a wonderful website. I was just put on the lisinopril hctz yesterday. My doctor said to try this first rather than the benicar hctz due to the difference in price. After reading these posts I could care less about the cost. I just called him and asked him to switch me to the Benicar. Thank you for your comments and I hope things get better.

I was put on Topamax around thanksgiving time 07 for Bipolar disorder. Over a week my dose was raised to 100mg/day. Immediately I began experiencing muscle cramps in my Legs that were intermittent. It wasn't too severe so I decided to give it time. Also, I was an inpatient at a Psych facility when I was put on Topamax and was also placed on a few other things at the same time. Recently, the pains in the legs have become severe and I have been getting pains in my arms as well. In addition to this I have been getting tingling in my face and hands and numbness in my throat. It has been difficult to breathe at time, especially if I really relax, then I suddenly realize that I am not breathing at times. My eyes feel like they are going to pop out of there sockets. I tried talking to my Psychiatrist and was told to go to the ER. At the ER I was told to goto my Psychiatrist. No one will listen to me!!! Finally yesterday I decided to take myself off of the Topamax. It's hard to tell if things are any better yet and I imagine it will take time. I have noticed what I believe to be improvements though. I guess the moral of this story is sometimes you have to use your own brain and do what you know is right for you.

I had my Mirena inserted on 7/22 and I'm getting it taken out tomorrow (8/4)! This product needs to be taken off the market. I have already reported it to the FDA. I am a total picture of health (25 years old at 150 pounds at 5'11")--eat the right foods, exercise almost daily, no other medications,etc. Since having this thing inserted two weeks ago, I have felt TERRIBLE! Symptoms include: stabbing pains in the legs and hips, joint pains especially in the wrists, headaches, backaches, uterus pain especially in the right side (but left side as well), tingling in many parts of the body (toes, face, abdomen, legs, and arms), nausea, no libido, and blurry vision. I was fine with spotting (this is the only side effect that the doc mentioned), but the other side effects are ridiculous! This needs to be taken off the market immediately, so that other women do not suffer. I will gladly take a pill everyday to get this thing out of me!!
