Phenomena symptoms and conditions

Was previously on Micardis HCT; dr. switched to generic Lisinopril HCTZ 12.5 in 11/07 when I went on Medicare & was concerned about cost of Micardis. Since that time I've put on 10 lbs. and had increased pain/muscle fatigue and general lethargy. Unusual, as I've exercised 4-5 days per wk. (incl. aerobics/strength trng/flexibility.) for 20+ yrs. Also, frequently, have problems swallowing pills due to feeling of obstruction in esaphogus tube. In July '08 I awakened to slight numbness/tingling in lips and my lips then proceeded to the swell to the point of pain and my lips (in profile) protruded further than my nose. I received steroid injection and prescription for steroid pack. Diagnosis was possible allergic reaction to new cosmetic product. Today (9/3/08) I woke up with the same symptoms and again had to go to the dr.for a steroid injection & meds. Diagnosis this time (different dr.) was possible side effects of "blood pressure meds." Has anyone else experienced edema of the lips, wt. gain, and problems swallowing?

Thank you all for writing about your experiences with Yaz. I have been taking Yaz for a little over 2 months, and have been experiencing depressive symptoms and a loss of libido. I am normally an upbeat person, but have recently been prone to bouts of crying and feelings of severe depression. Until I began reading other women's posts, I did not associate these phenomena with Yaz.

I have been on Singulair for about a month. I have always had asthma/allergies.When I was first prescribed it I was very ill Sinus infection and phenomena. So my nose was stuffy and I could not smell or taste (from being sick. so as the weeks passed and I did not get my taste or smell back I was concerned. Singulair is the only new thing in my life so I have to point to it. I also have been having Very bad noose bleeds a few times aday. My sinuses and back of throat feel numb. I have been very angry/irratable( I just thought PMS or something) now seeing other peoples claims I realize that too is from Singulaie. My stomach has been very upset too. Constant bathroom visits. I could see how a child could have an accident. I have a very very hard time waking up in th emornings. No one can wake me. I feel druged. So I will discontinue
