Pairs symptoms and conditions

My daughter was born in August of 2007; when I heard about Mirena, I was really excited. My sister in law has the copper IUD and loves it. I thought the Mirena was basically the same thing but with a different name. Boy was I wrong. I had the Mirena inserted in March 14, 2008 and ever since then, I feel like my life is slowly falling apart. I have gradually gained 6lbs despite being an avid running and eating well. During my cycle (I tend to gain anywhere from 3-4 lbs of water weight). For the first month, I bled for about 14 day straight, which was not a good time (ruined lots of nice pairs of underwear).
The worst side effect, for me, has been the mood swings; I think I'm psycho; I want to kill my husband most of the time, the poor guy. I have ZERO sex drive, which is also a huge problem for my relationship, so if I keep going at this rate, I think I can blame Mirena for a divorce. Fortunately, I am having this thine REMOVED TODAY!! I cannot wait! I feel as though I was "talked in to" getting the Mirena because I orginally said I wanted an IUD with NO hormones; for some reason though, I left the office with this horrible product. Something needs to be done about this product!
The insertion was not horrible, but it wasn't fun either.
Mirena is the devil!!

I had my Mirena put in on the 21st January 08. I am constantly feeling nauseous! So I don't eat as much, maybe 2 meals a day and I am usually sick if I have any form or food and drink after 8pm. Despite this I have not necessarily gained weight (1lbs) but I have gained so much fat. I have never been this big. I don't fit my fat jeans I wore 3 years ago. I cant wear the jeans I wore 2 years ago. And all the pairs I lived in from last January (07) or even august do not fit. At all. Constantly bloated. I have itchy legs. Keep getting upset. (I rarely cry). Got a few spots, nothing terrible, but I never get spots. And I cannot sleep. My doctor has prescribed sleep meds for 6 days but thats it. I keep getting cramps, dull cramps... I had one hideous one once put in, then it was normal dull cramps. My body hair has got on darker... Problem is I forget pills, and depo hasn't works (also bad reaction to hormones (no implant, don't want it) I have got pains in my legs, but its not all the IUD

What can I say, Breakthrough Bleeding, Breakthrough Bleeding, Breakthrough Bleeding!!!!!!! I have been on this pill for about 3 weeks and have only experienced two side effects, a little nausea and as you can guess breakthrough bleeding. The doctor warned me that I may spot a little but this is ridiculous. I have ruined about 12 pairs of underwear and 2 sets of sheets. I am going to give it a little longer but if the bleeding doesn't stop soon I am going to switch pills.

So glad I found this site. I have tried almost every BC product on the market and they all had side effects that were disconcerting enough to make me stop taking them. I have dismennorhea which means horrendous cramping so bad I have been prescribed Darvocet (heavy muscle relaxer). BC has always seemed to help this in the past which is why I began using the Ring. I have noticed that my breasts are so tender I dont even want to put a bra on in the morning and the constant spotting is driving me insane. I have literally thrown out 20 some odd pairs of underwear because they have been ruined. I think I could deal with it if it was just this but the emotional side effects are tearing my relationship apart. I have cried every single day for absolutely no reason and pick fights on a near daily basis. My boyfriend, who is so supportive, is suffering because of my insanity. I cannot stand a single thing he does anymore, whether its the shirt he decides to put on or not taking the garbage out the instant I ask him to. Eventually I lose it on him and then end up hysterically crying because I realize how insignificant the thing was that set me off. I have said things so hurtful I didnt even think I was possible of conjuring up. The symptoms I am having are akin to how I felt taking the Depo shot, and they did NOT GET BETTER!!!! My last option is a non-hormonal IUD but my doctor is unwilling to prescribe it to me because she does not like them. I guess I am out of luck!!!

I was promised that my periods would stop after 4years my periods became longer and heavier until I was bleeding through superplus tampons overnight maternity pads and 4 pairs of shorts a day I became anemic passed out at work and ended up in the hospital my dr. wantedto regulate me with pills too I said no depo causedme to miscarry my first pregnancy 6 months later I became pregnant again and only after having that baby did I regulate.

i have been taking seroquel for over a year and i have gone from 125 to 165 in only 8 months. i am trying everything to get rid of the weight but nothing has worked so far.the only good thing about seroquel is that i do sleep at night and without it i don't sleep at all. i started taking slimfast reciently in hopes that it will help me get rid of all the extea weight that i have gained. i actually cried the other day when i went to put on my jeans and believe me i tried on all 10 pairs and they did not fit. i started crying and got depressed. i am going to ask my doctor if there is any thing else that i can take that wont make me gain weight.

I was on Yasmin for six months. During that time, I completely lost my sex drive. I had recurring yeast infections that would not go away. I got pains in my right side that sent me to the hospital and had constant stomach pains that my doctor at first diagnosed as an ulcer. I was frequently nauseous and vomited several times during the course of six months, which is highly abnormal for me. I was spotting CONSTANTLY and from out of nowhere. Many pairs of underwear were ruined. My period was abnormally heavy and different from anything I'd ever experienced before. On top of all these joys, I became extremely moody and depressed. After six months, I switched to Triphasil and now I'm back to normal. Every person reacts to medication differently. Some people will do really well on Yasmin, but there are some really negative potential side effects with this pill that people just going on it should consider.

I started on 10mg of Lipitor a week ago. I have excellent cholesterol levels (total = 184; HDL = 77; LDL = 91), but because I am a diabetic (I have been for 35 years), my physician suggested that I begin taking the drug.
I feel like I am hooked up to a diazepam IV!!! I am totally zoned out and have very little energy...and I don't really care if I get any of my work done or (not good!) The other thing that is driving me crazy is that I am cold all the time. As I am typing this, it is 70 in the room and I have on a turtle neck sweater, two sweat shirts (one with a hood that is up), a pair of lined jeans, two pairs of socks, and down slippers...and I am STILL cold. Has anyone experienced this side effect? I don't think that this drug is for me...
