First off, I can't believe I found this site. For once I don't feel alone about having side effects from the Nuva Ring.
I'd been on Nuva for over 2.5 yrs when I left it at school and thus accidentally went off of nuva for a month and a half. I was shocked at how much better I felt after a few hormone-free weeks:
-I could finally drink alcohol in normal amounts and not get crippling hangovers the next day - before even just a few drinks would send me over the edge the next morning.
-My sex drive doubled. I didn't know my sexual capacity until going off of this. (Anyone have a favorite non-pharmaceutical contraceptive they'd like to recommend???)
-I don't get mood swings anymore- when I was on Nuva I knew that I'd get at least one day a month where I'd sit in bed and cry for hours, fully aware that I was being irrational. I was emotionally unstable for a whole week every month.
These are just a few of the many things I've noticed. I'm very disappointed that it took a mistake 2.5 years later for me to realize that it was because of Nuva.

I had been taking Singulair for about 18 months and it did help my allergy and asthma symptoms alot. However, for over a year I have been experiencing extreme body fatique for no apparent reason. It would come and go a bit, but never fully go away. I went to several different doctors and got blood tests done which always showed everything pretty much normal. I finally started looking more closely at the side effects of my pharmaceutical meds. Years ago I discovered that the steroid based inhalants and nose sprays made me very moody and depressed over time. So, I looked on this site for effects for Singulair and noticed that some adults mentioned fatigue. (By the way, I was appalled at the side effects in some children.) I have been off Singulair now for over a month and have felt great! My energy level is back up to normal and I don't have any more of that heavy body fatigue. Be aware that some side effects creep up on you so that you don't automatically make the connection between the drug and what's going on in your body. I won't make this mistake a third time.

Have taken Fosomax for almost 2 years due to "some thinning" in hip and family history (mother has osteoporosis and is on Fosomax). In past 6 months to a year, have started experiencing unexplained bruising on hips and thighs and buttocks (when I know I haven't bumped into anything), pain in my knees, hips, right wrist, hand and elbow (the most severe), right shoulder, and the bottom of my feet, difficulty and pain standing and walking after getting out of bed or out of a chair, very stiff and painful knees after bending or squatting, sleep disturbance, acid reflux, occasional sudden dizzy spells for no apparent reason, ongoing weight gain especially in upper and lower abdomen, fatigue, shortness of breath (which I thought was due to the extra fat around my middle, but who knows?). I am only 53 and take no other prescription medicines, and am otherwise healthy. I have my annual physical in a few days and am stopping the Fosomax to see if the pain and other symptoms subside.

I began taking verapamil,240 mg. twice daily, zocor and digoxin, .125mg once daily about 3 years ago. I was weak and ill every day. This was prescribed for arrithma and atrial fibrilation. After stopping the zocor I experienced severe abdominal pains for days before again feeling a lilttle better. I found that policosonils and red rice yeast worked far better that ther prescribed devils poison. I would like to find a wholeistic cardiologilst within 200 miles of oklahoma city and hopefully get weaned off of this pharmaceutical poison, however all cardiologist appear brainwashed.

Hycotuss is not as addictive as Tussionex because it is not a suspension. It still has hydrocodone in it so it can have a seditave effect like Vicodin ES. Although for some people hydrocodone can have an adverse events such as racing thoughts and nervousness, which is contradicted in an opiod. This applies to Xanax, too, in that it should not be given to children or psychotic patients because it may stimulate unprovoked rage and activity from them. These are called paradoxial reactions and so far the ones in the benzos seem to apply to the opiod family too. Good Luck, Mr. Pharmaceutical

I recently was given 200mg over the recommended pharmaceutical dose of Lamictal. My dr.'s partner prescribed this after a trip to the ER for a seizure to get me by until I could see my regular neurologist at the beg. of the week. The extra dose caused major blurred vision side effects, inability to walk, extreme sensitivity to light, and nausea. I am now at 400mg of Lamictal and starting Topomax with it so I hope this works. Any thoughts from anyone else taking this med combo?
