Please answer symptoms and conditions

I have been taking Lamictal for just over a year. Some of the side effects have been noticable for a few months, but others seem to just be appearing and getting worse. I have loss of balance and coordination, my vision is gettng worse, I have a hard time concentrating and finding the right words, I forget how to spell common words, I have short-term memory loss and feel spacey. I can always figure it out, but it takes longer. I began doing Pilates every day about 3 months ago and still cannot get the routine down and it is just as hard for my muscles as it was in the beginning. I can't seem to lose weight and have horrible acne on my face. I had 2 seizures before beginning Lamictal and am suppose to be on it for 2 years before trying to go off. Without insurance though, I am unable to do follow-ups w/ my neurologist and she seems unconcerned and unsypathetic to my situation, not giving me the time of day. She never even told me all of these side effects could develop, much less that they might begin long after I started taking Lamictal. Has anyone had these side effects after having taken the Lamictal for so long then stopped taking the Lamictal? Will these side effects go away after I stop taking it??

Hey,
My name is Krysten im 14 and im in the 8th grade. I'v been taking adderal for almost 4 months now. Before taking adderal I wasent doing good in school, I would always get into fights. My life was miserable. So I asked my doctor if I could try adderal agian. Before when I took adderall my stomach hurt and I wasent feeling the same. Then I wanted to give it a try. A week after I started to feel my self agian, my family and my teachers noticed a huge diffrence in my academics and my ADD. I went from getting E's and D's to getting on the honor role last quarter. I got the most improved in my grade and I was very happy. Now its the final quarter and now im feeling that adderal isant helping as much as it use to I'm worring about if I'm going to do as well as last quorter and im feeling a little anxiety. I went from taking 30 - 40mg in less than a month, Since I take 10mg after school. I also have been exeirencing weird things. When I get up from sitting down, I sometimes get a huge headach, I cant breath for about 30 seconds, I sometimes see stars and Its like a black out also, I get up then I cant see anything its all black, then slowy I can see agian. I would really like to know if i should raise my Mg higher for me to focus more and be happyer over time. I think adderal was a life changer for me. Please answer my question as soon as poosible!

I have had dizziness for 2 1/2 years...when wlaking or sitting. Could it be the beta blockers? How long would I have to be off Toprol to determine if this is causing my severe dizzy condition. I also have arrhthmias...not often but the toprol was given to me for that. It might be effecting my equilibrium. Yes? No? Please answer. No doctor has been able to find the cause of the dizziness. All my blood tests come out just fine...and so do the CAT scans and MRIs. I have seen too many doctors...and lost faith in them. Sorry about that.

Well, your post couldn't have come at a better time... I'm sitting here after taking a shower and crying because of my still very bloated "After-Yasmin-Body" which I never had before in my life!! I always was very healthy and slim (I'm a singer and so a good figure ist very important for me; it's not nice look like a water ton if you are on stage...). And now there's only bloating and feelings like I'm going to explode the next few days...... It feels like even my skin was too tight for all that body mass, or should I better say water mass??!! I feel so desperate!!!

My hormones are not back in balance again at all, I had only one regular period since coming off this horrible stuff and that one was on easter this year!!! I don't know what else I could do. I'm careful about what I'm eating, I'm drinking lots of water and tea (without any sugar!) and so on. Well, I'm not able to workout so far, because I'M still suffering on muscle fatigue and breathlessness (although it has gotten VERY MUCH better than during taking Yasmin!!!) which both was brought on by the wonder drug Yasmin... So I'm sitting here, getting bigger and bigger without anything I could do against that!!!! I'M so afraid. When will that stop???

I'm so scared if I look into a mirror, I don't want even my husband to see me naked because I'm so ashamed about what he would see.... It has been 20 kg (maybe you say 40 pounds in America??) of weight gain after stopping Yasmin within 3 MONTHS (!!) WITHOUT eating more than before or doing anything else different than before!!!! It was just like I was pumped full with water by someone, every hour, every day a little bit more. I don't know if you can imagine how horrible that feels...

If there is anybody out there, who had been suffering from weight gain after getting of Yasmin or any other bcp and is doing better now, PLEASE answer and give some pep talk to me and many other women out there, suffering the same way... It would be so important to hear from women who perhaps lost all that "After-Yasmin-weight" after a couple of weeks, months or even years, not to loose hope completely!!!

Please help!!

Greetings

I am 50 years old and was put on Topral 2 weeks ago for HBP and PVC's. I had
been on a diuretic and Potassium supplement because of slight high blood
pressure for 9 months, and that's when the PVC;s got bad. 4 days after
starting the 50MG of Toprol and stopping the diuretic, my calves started to
swell up and get puffy with edema. I weighed myself and saw that I had gained 8
pounds in 4 days! I went to the Dr. the next day, assuming he would take me off
the Toprol, but he said to stay on it, because it was contolling the PVC's and
that the Edema was caused by my stopping the water pill! So, I went back on the
water pill and weaned myself off slowly for the past 9 days. Now, today, the
edema is back. I am scared that I am going to get Heart Failure because of the
water weight gain, or DVT, I want off the pill! But I can't stand the constant
PVC's and I was near suicidal with that! I don't know what to do? Does anyone
else have this leg swelling? Does it go away? Is it dangerous? My husband
died last year and I need to stay well for my teenage daughter, but this is
ridiculous! I'd rather have had the slight HBP and not taken any of this at
all. if there is anyone out there who cares, please answer me, I'm so scared!
And now that I have read al these posts with the other awful side effects, I'm
twice as scared. I know many peolpe on Beta-blockers, and they have no side
effects. What is wrong with me?

FIRST I WILL LIKE TO KNOW IF THIS PILL TENUATE IS THE SAME PILL THAT WAS SOLD IN MEXICO MONTERREY AND WAS DISCONTINUED? IT WAS CALLED A FEW YEARS BACK TENUATE DUSPAN AND THIS HAS BEEN THE ONLY PILL THAT HAS HELPED ME LOOS WEIGHT. WHEN I USED TO TAKE THIS PILL YEARS AGO IT DID NOT GIVE ME ANY SIDE EFFECTS. I BELIEVE IT IS A VERY HELPFUL PILL TO LOOSE WEIGHT. IS IT A WHITE TABLET? PLEASE ANSWER MY QUESTIONS ASAP SO I CAN ORDER IT. THANK YOU
