Pathetic symptoms and conditions

I went on Apri almost a year ago and had no weight gain, no breakthrough bleeding, virtually no side effects until this summer. I started having anxiety and panic attacks during my spring semester (I'm now a senior in college) and although I usually deal with stress pretty well, I thought that it was just because I was having a rough semester.

But in the past two months I've had a consistent nervous stomach and I've lost almost 15lbs from not being able to eat as much (not a good thing, I'm already a little underweight for my height). I started to have mood swings and that led straight into depression, so bad that even on vacation in Aruba I cried almost every day and night. I felt pathetic and anti-social and angry and basically scared that I'd never come out of this "phase." I called a therapist but couldn't even follow through with that. Then last week I went to the emergency room for severe stomach pain and they did some bloodwork and sent me home because "nothing was wrong." I'm also breaking out, which hasn't happened since I was like 15. Finally I went to a gyno who said this could all be side effects from the pill. If that's true than this all could have been prevented, and that upsets me greatly, but I also feel relieved that this might be over soon.

Everyone is different but if anyone is feeling things like this on Apri, see a doctor because it might be as simple as changing the pill or going off of it completely, which I plan on doing asap. Sorry but using condoms is better than being physically and mentally unstable.

i think this website is fake. you guys didnt have these side-effects! i mean, i took it 30 minutes to an hour ago all it did was make my legs give out and i feel A LITTLE dizzy. that's it. don't be dramatic people! i think the same guy wrote ALL these entries

I am normally a very physically fit specimen, working outside every day. One 500 mg. tab of this poisencompletely debilitated me. Within six hours of taking levaquin I experienced excruciation soreness in my arms and shoulders. My throat swelled up and I could barely breath. I was perscribed steroids to stop the swelling - I took only ONE 500 mg time release tab 7 days ago and today I am still experiencing incredible pain.I am so sore I can't sleep. If anyone wants to start a call action suit I am in - I have NEVER sued anyone - but I am furious.Any advise out there as to how I can flush this poisen out of my system?

I started taking lisinopril in June, I have been going back and forth with problems but not once was I told it possibly was the lisinopril, tests upon tests upon tests! My complaints are severe fatique, I would walk about 20 feet and feel like I walked 10 miles, it seems any old injuries I have ever had have come back and are so sore and sensitive I can barely stand it, even to brush my hair is so painful, at first i thought it was the spirlactone/hydroclothorizide I was taking ,now I think it is probably the lisinopril, I have the cough, not real severe but it is there off and on, I have been gaining weight, 3 to 4 pounds everytime I go back to the doc. hands going numb, I try to eat healthy and to chew an apple fatiqued me so much I couldn't stand it, I've been telling my doctor all this stuff and he just keeps ordering more tests and bloodwork, I'm still waiting for the results of my last bloodwork where he took me off my meds for 3 days, he suspects something wrong with my kidneys, this is very frightening, they are also saying I may be diabetic and there is no history in our family either. I still can't believe the extreme fatique and weakness, when I get up after sitting my feet and back are so painful it is pathetic, now my knees are starting to hurt too! I've had ankle problems and back injuries years ago, but the pain is so severe, it's like it just happened, I'm beside myself, I will definetly be talking to the doctor about this!! Thanks to everyone for posting this information, I would have had no idea that the lisinopril could cause all these problems, I stopped taking the spirolactone and hydro, but now am wondering if this was any of the problem at all.I also had the cramping in my legs, neck, head, still i thought it was the other drug, boy I hope I can get answers, they started me at 10 and now I'm taking 30's the doc said if it doesn't take care of the b/p the dosage can go up to 85 "so there is lots of room to work with"......... I don't think so!!!! I also am very sensitive to cold or heat, man I'm a wreck!!! I went to the doctor to feel better!!!

This is pathetic. Yes advair has helped with my life-long asthma but since I started on Advair two years ago I have suffered high Blood Pressure, 20lb weight gain, muscle join pain in my legs, fatigue from hell, and terrible anxiety. I'm getting off this nighmare drug.

I'm so happy i'm not alone....So happy....!
I have depression,and anxiety and panic,all together...I started this pill a month ago...It's been a horror,a nightmare!
Sometimes i feel i'm gonna die,i can't sleep,i'm shaking like a leaf.Head aches,vomiting,and dizziness.I'm so disoriented sometimes.Today is my sixth day of the second month.I almost called 911.I know it's sound pathetic,but i can't go on like this.I will quit.Because that's not a life...
Before i was on Diane-35,but my doctor changed to YASMINE.
I really don't know why...
These are my symptoms and i have many moore...
Moodswings,chest pain,insomnia,sweating,abdominal pain,diarrhea,my heart race,...etc.I didn't go out from the house since 2 weeks.I don't know how i'm gonna feel ,that's my bigest fear,but i don't wanba take this pill anymore...

Thanks for EVERYBODY

i started taking singular 10 mg about three months ago. i have gained some weight and if i don't take it, it seems as if i am going to stop breathing. i also can't sleep at night but yet all day i am so tired no matter if i got 12 hours of sleep. i am very moody now, still layed back, but, things seem to piss me off much more. my tolorance is not that high anymore. i have noticed these changes in the matter of three months, that is a little pathetic to me.

OMG! I was prescribed Advair for Bronchitis and my belly starting swelling. I realized that since I started taking it I have become pregnant! I'm a male also!!!

This is ridiculous! Come on ppl, Advair is not the cause of all of the ridiculous symptoms that people are reporting here. It is just pathetic what a bunch of hypochondriacs (sp?) will spew on forums such as this. Get real ppl, if this was the case, there would be absolutely no way it would be on the market. Not a chance!

I'm 20 years old, and I went on Yasmin this past summer (a little less than a year ago) and for the first month or so it was fine. Then I began to feel depressed. At first it was mild, but by now it has escalated to the point that I can't remember being truly happy in the last 6 months. I cry every day, and I think the most depressing things. I have always been a happy person, and I'm so sad all the time now, it's horrible. I broke up with my boyfriend and say horrible things that I know I shouldn't, I act so desperate, pathetic, and horrible. It's not me at all, and I have been miserable for so long and not known why. My friend just recently suggested that maybe Yasmin was responsible for the change in my mood, and I plan to talk to my doctor about it as soon as possible. If this is something you are experiencing, try to get off this pill. It has made me a completely different person, one that I hate, and I cant wait to be back to myself.

I've been on Effexor XR for a few weeks now for GAD and depression after being on Prozac for two years on and off. I dont know if its helping me or making me worse, its reduced my anxiety quite a bit, but I think its making my depression worse. I dont really know what it is, but a week after i started taking it I've started crying quite a bit. Previously I rarely cried because i felt so distant from my emotions, but now I seem to be feeling worse. The thing is I dont know if this is an improvement because I can actually feel something or if its worse because all i seem to be feeling is miserable. I cant seem to enjoy anything at all and I've lost most of my motivation since i started Effexor. I've noticed that I've become rather snappy and rude to people - this is not like me at all. I've lost all my enthusiasm for life (not that there was much to begin with) and it seems like theres nothing to look forward to. I seem to be thinking about suicide more than when i wasnt on it. I've never slept properly but now I keep on semi waking up during the night all the time. I know that its possible that my depression may have been getting worse regardless of the Effexor but i seriously think the two are related. But what worries me the most and is making me feel terrible is that Ive seen effexor advertised as an antidepressant 'for treatment resistant depression' - kinda makes me wonder that if its doing nothing good to me then what hope do i have? no wonder people are killing themselves on antidepressants - theyre advertised as some miracle cure and when they dont work then what are people supposed to do? im beginning to think more and more that im not depressed but i just have a pathetic personality that makes me sluggish and bored. feels like Effexor not working seems to confirm that.
