Ppl symptoms and conditions

500mg 3 times a day for 10 days, vomited once, have had a horrible headache that started day b4 yesterday, still kinda have it, comes in waves, sux real bad lol

i have Sinusitis, Bronchitis, and a severe respiratory infection.

i see some guy on here mad cuz the doctor didn't tell him he would have bad headaches, like the doctor was going to know in advance he would. this anti-biotic affects different ppl different ways, its really not his responsibility to go over every single side-effect this very common anti-biotic is going to have, thats why the pharmacy gives you a huge pamphlet informing you on the medication, if you would had read it then you would see that headache, diarrhea, and constipation are all common side-effects

i didn't read it however, until i came here and read what i read, which is comforting really cuz at least i know why i have the headache so bad, and why i lost my lunch yesterday, was actually worried maybe i had an infection in my brain and thats why i had it, i know, sounds dumb, but what can i say, im paranoid lol

I first started on the generic form of celexa(10 mg once a day) a little over one year ago..it was because I was having some mild depression..I also in the past have had some anxiety/panic attack issues. When I first went on it..it kind of scared me because I felt like I was in a fog..felt like i couldn't respond to things in my normal way..However, i did feel like my energy level was better, wasn't flying off the handle the way i used to, my panic/anxiety seems less frequent. Good things to say. I recently decided, however, to come off of it..(under the direction of my Dr.) I just hate the thought of being on med's to help me cope..I have been having a horrible couple weeks since I have been off of it..back to some of my old behaviors..and worse! yelling at my husband and kids for trivial things..feel very angst and ready to tell someone off at any moment..it has been horrible..am hoping this gets better..I hate feeling like this!

i went to the doctor for blood work because i was tired all the time, no energy, cold even when it was 80 degrees, and i had breathing problems, so i thought i was anemic. the doc wanted me to have an xray and i got diagnosed with pneumonia. i didn't even know i was sick! so i got prescribed avelox for 10 days 400mg, i feel worse now then what i did before. im extremely tired, i sleep all day, i feel like a stoner, i get dizzy at times and confused. i cant seem to go to bed and iv have dream after dream i even had one about a potato.last night i just started crying about nothing and could not stop then when it was over i just stared off and it was like i was a crazy person. im on the 8th day and im going back to the doctor. oh and im only 18 and i read tests haven't even been done on this drug for 18 - ppl.

I am a 60 year old male. I have a bad heart, type 2 diabetes, damage to my heart from a heart attack in 2006. i have a pacer/defibrillator in me.
now after reading all these post i am wondering. i have been taking this medicine since 1996 when then i was told i had my 2nd heart attack and i did not know i even had my first. This medication was given to me for either an alfa or bata blocker, was on 5mg.. now i am on 2 1/2 that i take at night. i take a total of 19 pills a day and 5 shots of insulin, i have bad teeth and now the rest of them have to come out and i have to have bone mass ground down just to get some false teeth. wow i am in great shape huh..lol
well since the little history on me, this is what i am going thru now. i wake up with this deep cough and it gets to a point were i am gagging, after i get the what i call the hair ball out i feel a little better, then i have to keep blowing my nose to get the mucus out of my nasal cavity, I THOUGHT I WAS GONNA DIE THIS MORNING WITH THIS and i did die 4 times in 3 days in 2006 when i had this last heart attack. I see my caro Dr. on the 11th of this month, and i am gonna ask to go off this crap. my bp is normally anywhere from 90/55 to 114/65. and before i was taking this medicine and my attacks in 96, my bp was normally 124 over 70. now i can understand that this medicine is suppose to help protect my kidneys, but the way i am dry heaving and coughing one day they are gonna with everything else in this body cavity come out thru my mouth.
i am horrified off all the ppl and post i have read about this little blue pill i take and it is not for keeping wood either, that floated down the river. THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO HAS MADE A POST ...YOU HAVE MADE ME QUESTION THIS MEDICATION AND I AM GOING TO DO MORE AND MORE RESEARCH ON ITS SIDE EFFECTS.

I am 22, on my 3rd month of Yaz and have 3 days left in my packet. I will NOT continue to take this bc. I have never felt worse. I don't feel like myself, I constantly am angry or sad to point of tears nearly every day for no reason. I have not been spending time with my roommates like I used to, I feel like I have no motivation and do not want to ever do anything. I thought I was going crazy with all my yo-yo mood swings which seemed to take me down more often than up. I would not recommend this pill. I just moved to California, am living with 5 other awesome people as a volunteer in a house with a new teaching job. I should not be depressed whatsoever, but I just feel down ALL the time. Headaches, bloating, weight gain, nightmares, and poor sleep have all accompanied the severe mood swings. I think because this pill is specifically for ppl with PMDD and I do not have PMDD it is wise that I get off it as it seems to have the opposite effect for those who do not have PMDD. But after reading everyone else's side effects I feel so much better (and not like a lunatic like I've been feeling!) and positive about this decision to stop taking Yaz.

i had mirena for an yr and a half. I began breaking out( thought it was stress) but i couldn't control it and the acne was real bad around my mouth and chin area( thought i had something). I suffer from migraines and it did help with that. Moody, depressed. I am normally a happy over jolly person but within this last yr. ive changed to a moody chick. Always tired. dizziness and i just felt like a different person. Like so many women said . You think your losing it but all the time its the Mirena. I really didn think about it that way until my friends told me i ve been like a devil. And how i just lash out on ppl for no reason. But i went to the doc 3x about the acne and how my partner was able to feel the string and they were able to cut the string. but my face still looks crazy and lil on my chest and shoulders(ACNE).O breast tenderest and back pains. I am only 22yrs ol. My cousin said it caused her hair to fall out and lost of weight. I was losing and gaining. My weight was every where. And that caused white stretch marks.O just hand it removed feel better already but start bleeding. O my period did stop a lil and i did have a odor before i start spotting( never had odor problems and never was a cramper). I had some of the worst cramps ever and was a cramper. I quite sure theres more stuff but can't recall everything. My mom said they using us as test dummies.

I'm 18 and almost to the brown pills of my first month of the pills.I'm ok with the pill,it has been better then the other BC i have taking, but i do have stomach pain,headaches more often,and i have stared my period last Thurs. and have not got off yet and i haven't even reached thee brown pills yet.One side effect that i have been having that has been bugging really bad is nightmares every night about the ppl i love,when i never use to dream at all.....
I don't know if i should stick with pill or not...?

i have had my mirena for about 1 1/2 months now, and so far i love it, i have had the spotting for the first month which doesn't bother me and now my period is on and i do have very bad diarrhea which im sure is associated with the period more than the mirena itself. haven't had any lack of sex drive in fact i 've wanted to have more sex, and i haven't' been irritable or anything else, so some of the side effects i believe everyone is having may be made up, think about it if you read over and over and over again how bad the mirena is your going to begin to feel that way i know if i tell myself that my arm hurts all day long then eventually it feels like it hurts..neways all im saying is relax stop reading these scary ass posts and do something to take your mind off of it, i know 3 other people who have the mirena that live down the road from me and NONE of them have had any of these problems...ladies i think you are just trying to find something to blame it on...

oh please your all a bunch of whiners. I don't understand that when people get something medically new that they seem to blame every little thing on it!!! seriously!!! if it were so bad it would not be on the market..... i have had it for two years.....a little cramping in the beginning which is NORMAL and as STATED on the side effects list. YOU MUST UNDERSTAND that these are listed because they DO AND HAVE happened to other people. That is why they are listed! NOW if you died, got cancer, pregnant or what have you then you can bitch. BUT PLEASE don't complain about the LISTED side effects. it is a wonderful product and it does just as it claims. yea the cramping sucks....the spotting is a pain.....men can feel it during intercourse and yes sometimes they can bump it and hurt you. also it causes cysts to grow on your ovaries which can sometimes require surgery. it can also grow outside your uterine wall at time. and it can fall out. all kinds of things can happen that are LISTED. what i would recommend people should do BEFORE they leap into bed with a new contraceptive is RESEARCH the SIDE EFFECTS BEFORE you decide you want it or not. its simple read the damn sheet and decide if you can live with the side effects. maybe one....or all...or none. THEN DECIDE.

Mood swings ( severe)
Depression
constantly stressed
Irrational anger
Fluttering in stomach (like a baby moving)
Got Mirena inserted longer than a year ago ( April 2008)..I was loosing hair but that side effect was gone after 3 months now is the opposite

At one point I actually thought i was bipolar, or maniac depressive ...getting a doctors appointment asap...too bad i really like the no periods and very effective but the side effects are really hurting me and ppl around me mood swings are very severe :(

Wellbutrin makes my hair fall out and really really angry. I've been screaming and just very irritated. I worry about everything. It helps my pms and ocd thoughts but I don't know if that's worth all this irritability. I notice that I just want to give up all the time because I am so overwhelmed with everything. Lexapro is really good for me but I am overweight and need to lose weight and lexy wouldn't let me do that. My plan is to try and stick it out for a couple of months with wellbutrin and get this weight off and then go back to lex. Lex does not cause me to gain weight, just won't let me lose any weight. I hate my attitude and anxiety and I hate being overweight, I feel like I'm making the right choice at the moment and am eagerly anticipating the day I can drop wellbutrin. I do have to say that without wellbutrin I get crazy mad (ptsd) no sleep crying constantly just really freaked out so it does help a little. And the hairloss isn't too bad, no sexual side effects or headaches, no nausea bad dreams etc...just very angry and sweaty...Thanx for reading :) Lori

UGH.... ladies i feel ur pain!!!!! i have had mirena in for about 6 months n i am soooooooo ready 2 get this thing out of me!!! i had a miscarriage in august n decided that i just didn't want 2 go through that again so i spoke 2 my doctor n she suggested MIRENA! i thought 5yrs without having 2 worry about getting pregnant was a win win situation n exactly wat i needed! i had insurance at the time n it payed for EVERYTHING so i said y not!!! so i got it put in n i felt great! i went 6 months without any symptoms n then WHAM!!!! ....constant headache, nausea, cramps EVERY SINGLE NIGHT N EVERY SINGLE MORNING, i cant lose weight, crying ALL the time, DEPRESSED n asking myself y im even alive, LOW LIBIDO(im 21yrs old!!! n i have no desire to have sex!!!!).... snapping at everybody (especially my bf) we almost broke up bc of it :-( thank God i found this website n let him read all the things that other ppl have been going through! it was just so horrible bc i would miss him all day n pick a fight with him as soon as he got home :-( then cry about it! he was soo confused!!! soo now im conscious of my moods n i try my best 2 control them... i have been trying to wait it out, hoping that my symptoms will go away but they have not gone away yet n i talked it over with my boyfriend n i decided 2 get it taken out bc i just want 2 feel like myself again... i miss ME! so i will keep u guys updated... im going 2 call planned parenthood on Monday n see if they can remove it, if not, then refer me 2 someone who will do it for little or no cost bc i no longer have insurance :-/

i had my mirena removed after 1 yr and 3 months. I had several problems. I had constipation, blurred vision, tender breasts, I had dull aches from my waist to my knees every day for the last 6 months also severe shedding oh and don't forget the awful acne. Im 36 come on your not suppose to break out with huge boils @ that age! Oh my obgyn tried her best to tell me its not the damn mirena I mean get real as soon as it came out i stood to get dressed and it was instant no pains. I couldn't believe it! I don't care what anyone says. I believe it was a bad option for me some ppl don't have problems with it but im telling you that thing was not agreeing with my body. I would rather take my chances hell I wasn't having sex often with that thing I was either too tired or I was in some kind of pain! All I can say day one with out it has been GREAT!!!!!!!!! So if your thinking about having it removed do it don't let the doc change your mind you know your body way better than they do.

I'm just in shock.
I can't believe that this sort of thing can go on.
My experience is all over this page. And the seven after it.

I graduated high school with a 99 GPA and was at the top of my class.
I was accepted to medical school along with my admission to college.
I started Yasmin at the same time.

All of a sudden I was getting classic migraines multiple times every month.
Soon, Yasmin became Yaz. Okay, fair enough, nurse says to switch, I'll switch. Yaz is said to be safer.

Time goes by... I'm irritable, I've lost my sex drive, I'm dragging myself out of bed in the morning if I get to classes at all, but I miss lots of them.
My GPA falls from a 4.0 to a 3.6.

I had to come home last semester because of how sick I was. Nurse says that the doctor wants me off Yaz because of the risk of classic migraines.

Liver enzymes were screwed up - fatty liver at 20?? - and cholesterol is backwards. My heart races a lot, too.
My anxiety is out of control and I'm depressed for the first time in my life.

I've been off Yaz since November of 2008 and still haven't had a period.
Additionally, I still haven't MET my gynecologist, despite asking repeatedly if I can see her.

Now she's ruled out PCOS and all other causes and wants me to "jump start" my period with more synthetic hormones.
This feels so wrong.

I have IBS, nausea, back pain, and abdomen pain. This is all just too much. I'm disillusioned with the medical field now and am having a hard time accepting that I wanted to put myself in a position in which I'd have to either perpetuate the problem or fight it. It doesn't make sense.

There needs to be a lawsuit, and now.

PERFORATED MY UTERUS --- The placement of the Mirena was extremely painful. I could barely drive afterwards. I was sure that something was wrong, but the doctor assured me that everything was fine. I breastfed my son for a year (I had it placed 6 weeks post-partem) which is why I had it placed in the first place. It was considered safe for breastfeeding mothers (please research side-effects of the active hormone it releases on infants. We now know why our 13 month old has had respiratory issues since he was 5 months old). Over the year, I had radial stabbing pains up my back and down my legs. It hurt during sex. At my year check up, I asked the doctor to remove it, but he could not find the strings to remove it. After an x-ray confirmed that it was still in my abdomen, he scheduled a hystoscope to find it and remove it (he assumed that it was still in my uterus). During the procedure, he could not find the Mirena in my uterus and had to perform emergency laparoscopic surgery to remove it from MY ABDOMEN. It had PERFORATED MY UTERUS. My husband and I now know of 4 women that this has happened to just by telling people our story. WE LIVE IN A SMALL TOWN!!!! THE NEGATIVE SIDE EFFECTS ARE UNDER REPORTED!!! PLEASE INFORM YOURSELF BEFORE GETTING THIS DEVICE.

I HAVE THIS AND I HAVE NO PROBLEMS SOME OF YOU PEOPLE ARE BABIES! OF COURSE THERE WILL BE SOME PAIN BUT DAMN COME ON NOW YOU ARE TRYING TO SCARE PEOPLE TO GET THEIR REMOVED YOU SUCK

where do i begin? i started the ring three weeks ago my gyno put it in for me. she convinced me for my age (20) this was the best method for me and she'd feel better, because ppl. my age are so careless! I've taken the pill before and stopped for over a year because ortho killed me, and i had no insurance. I should also fill you in that before I had the ring put in I had two utis back to back. I obviously can get them very easy, so i don't understand why my doctor would push this on to me! Anyways, I just suffered from a horrible uti and was so excited to feel "ok" again and honestly from day one or maybe two of the ring being in place I felt irritation! I have felt these awful cloudy adomonial cramps(all day long), pelvic pain, chest pain, sore throat, discharge, carpel tunnel, depressed, crying, mood swings, anxiety, bad dreams, tired, not sleeping through, loss of appetite, and god knows what else..It just seems never ending! So today I just happened to pick up and read "welcome to NuvaRing" and all it had listed for side effects were the commons ones such as vaginal infection, irritation, and vaginal secretion...thats it! I couldn't believe that I was feeling this horrible and this is all the information I had! So thankfully I found this website! I told my mom and she made me take it out today(supposed to take it out Friday) and honestly I feel better already and its been a hour! I have an appointment with my gyno tomorrow anyways so hopefully i'll find a better method of bc. I just wish we didn't have to go through all of this! They need to make a bc for men!!!!!!! LOL

Reading this site shocks me I LOVE mirena! I've had it for about 6 years, on my 2nd one now, and absolutely NO side effects, lighter periods, no more acne, nothing.
I would even recommend it because you don't have to remember taking a pill everyday, and those bad heavy cramps and bleeding are GONE!

*Update* Mirena out for 2 days
So i posted a few posts down about having an emergency removal due to the pain after only 3 weeks. I cannot believe the difference in the way i feel. The bloatedness has gone down finally. I don't feel sore and tender everywhere. my head is actually clear now. and my favorite part...NO CRAMPS. I spent 3 weeks of my life in utter pain and cramping with mirena. I'm finally back to my old self. This product should not be on the market. It is ruining lives. Please..anyone thinking of getting it...read these posts and really think about it. I read these posts before i did it..BUT i did it anyways thinking i was different than the ppl posting...I WISH I HAD LISTENED to what i was reading. The women on here are telling the truth, including myself now. The side effects are NOT WORTH it.

Ive just come across this site after searching for lower back pain site, ive been on statin drugs for about 5 years, at moment im off work with severe lower back pain, recently i had time off for right shoulder and neck pain, i notice most ppl are affected on the right side, as from today im not taking the meds to see if my pain reduces, i lift heavy packages at work so u can imagine the probs i have, also, my boss doesn't pay sickness benefits, good luck to us all.

WOW. 1st of all i must say if u r about 2 take budeprion, DON'T!!!! EVER!!!! i read these posts b4 i took it, i read all about the side effects of this drug and didn't take it as seriously as i should have. i figured i would give this drug a chance because my depression was so bad nothing at all helped, ever, and i figured i had nothing 2 lose. well, i lost my f***king mind. i am hundreds of times worse than i was b4, i am insanely irritable, angry, self destructive, depressed, i feel like a monster. i have been taking it 4 2 weeks, and i am very dizzy all the time, i feel like i am losing my vision. everything is really blurry and i swear it feels like i am going blind and i cant see very well at all.

i cant believe i did this 2 myself by taking this awful drug. whoever said it was way better than no drugs was so right... my depression was bad b4 but this is out of control!!! its f***king amazing.... i am whacked out beyond belief and so much worse off... soooooo much worse.... i have the same things running thru my head over and over and over and over all day!! and it is all awful!!!! i was NEVER EVER EVER this bad, nowhere near this bad.... now i am completely psychotic and utterly insane and i feel dizzy, drunk, and i cant see. i feel awful. i am so rattled up... if u want a fair warning from a real person, here is my testimonial, NEVER EVER touch this disgusting stuff. my god... how in the hell do ppl get away with giving ppl this crazy shit???? seriously????? sadly... i know no1 will ever give me an honest answer 2 that question... there isn't one!!!!! =(

hey everyone...reading every post makes me even more scared now. I was diagnosed with Bells Palsy on Jan. 13th. My doctor prescribed me prednisone and valtrex. 5 days, twice a day, 20 mgs. On the 18th i was finished with the pills. Very happy because the bells palsy went away. On my birthday, January 23rd. I washed my faced with Biore skin cleanser (which ive used for years) and it felt like as if my face was peeling off as i was washing it! I got so scared when i rinsed my face i actually felt my skin turning to leather. I got out of the shower and my face was round and beet red and my eyes were puffy and face was very very dry...The next day i woke up and my face was worse. I called my doctor and he told me go straight to the emergency room that i was having an allergic reaction to a skin chemical and get treated for an allergic reaction. I did just that. The hospital gave me another dose of prednisone. 60mgs the first day then again the same dosage that my other doctor prescribed me. Im scared to death now to take this pill. Yeah, my face went down and is not beet red anymore but what's going to happen next week once i come off??? i don't want to go against what the hospital gave me, but as im reading these posts, im up at 2:55 am and not sleeping..! help!

i took this a few years back and it was horrible.. i wanted to add another post so ppl can have more to read about it.. i didn't have a period for 5 months and the doctor said "theres no way thats ur BC your pregnant" so i had lab work and turns out i was right i was not pregnant.. i gained 25-30lbs on this med. and was bloated ALL the time.. i do not recommend this to anyone!!

I have been on Yaz for three months, first two were okay, not I totally feel prego, morning sickness, sore breasts, moodiness, weight gain, odd bowels. I tried to talk to my OB Tuesday and she got a page in the middle of my appt. Babies don't wait. She said to keep taking it she'd see me in month. AHHHH I can't do this, I totally broke down to my hubby last night and he said to stop it now. I have two beautiful girls, am 26, and am crazy!
Yaz has made me feel like my gestational diabetes is back, my head hurts often, I am cramping, lower back pain, irritably, want to sleep all the time, am short tempered with my kids....this is nuts!!!! Trying to get ahold of my doctor again, might just go back to my childhood family doctor. Good luck, I was on depo before my second child and had a horrible reaction to it too, even miscarried after I had been off of it for a year and still hadn't had a period. Birthcontrol stinks, I feel like I am poisoning my body, and why, so I don't have another baby. So I am experiancing, nausea, headache, stomach cramps, depression, crazy feelings, irritability, fatigue, sore breasts, decreased sex drive, morning sickness.
Good luck with your decisions.
