Prescription medications symptoms and conditions

After I got my IUD removed 2 mos ago, my male obgyn showed no empathy so I changed to a female obgyn and saw her yesterday for an annual checkup. I explained to her what had happened and she gave me the same dumb straight face look - "No, I wasn't aware of weight gain or other side effects from Mirena". I bet you she won't get my co-pay again. Back to the drawing board, searching for someone to believe my misery. Is there anyone out there who has a doctor who believes them????????

My doctor gave me 5 'samples' of Levaquin 750mg for a sinus infection.

2nd night I had frightening heart palpitations while sitting watching a movie with family. Later that night experienced insomnia, depression, body aches and extreme cold feeling all over despite blanket, comforter and furry throw.

3rd day I experieinced severe nausea, dizziness, over-heating, dry mouth, body pain, headaches and motion sickness on pubic transit about 2 hours after dosing. Almost passed out. Was shaking, feeling hypoglycemic. Curled in a ball praying by the end of the 45 minute bus ride.

Stopped for water and a bagel, thought it was awhile since I had eaten. 2 hours later after my appointment, same thing again o the bus ride home. Took me 2 hours to calm down.

Looked up side effects online and was shocked. My doctor knows I had a head/neck injury ( 3 dislocated vertebrae ), knows I have prescription Vicodin and Tylenol 3 for pain, but fortunately I only took one Tylenol 3 today and no Vicodin for weeks. But I did take Advil yesterday, another pain reliever my doctor knows I use, but conflicts with Levaquin.

Doctor also knows that I'm concerned about possible pre-diabetic condition as mother has developed type 2 diabetes.

Furthermore, he knows I have had bad experiences with previous prescription medications including asthma inhalers destroying tooth enamel and depression reactions to Singulair.

Apparently Levaquin and Singulair both have suicidal depression side-effects.

So why was this drug given to me?

Basically, who do I sue?

I believe I must be the exception to the rule for Kenalog. I have been receiving Kenalog injections for allergies and talk about wonders. It has been such a relief to my body. After about 2-3 days, I don't have any symptoms of having allergies. My allergies are really bad and no over the counter or prescription medications seem to relieve the symptoms I have. I have had absolutely no side effects and they last for a really long time. This is my 2nd allergy shot this year and it's September. I will take the shot anyday over taking medications everyday that don't give relief.

To Desperate Boyfriend:

Well, I've been taking this junk since January (6 Mths). I've posted here before about certain side effects that now seem trivial to me. It takes a lot of my efforts to remain calm and not get freakish about my relationship that I'm in. Just the other day, my mood totally turned around and I said "I feel like something is different" to my boyfriend. Thankfully, he kind of understands that it's not all my fault. However, I've been making a consious effort to just try and relax and stop worrying about what might be wrong (honestly, there is nothing wrong).

Not to get technical, but the week after my period is the worst, I guess my body is rejoicing because that week there is no hormone being put into my body -- the first week of the new pack I feel physically and mentally like I've been hit with a Mack truck. I hate the fact that I have to take this stuff, it makes me cringe, I'm not a big fan of prescription medications anyway.

As far as your actual relationship goes... the Yasmin might be a big factor. If your girlfriend has stopped taking it, good. I haven't stopped yet, I probably should. Anyway, support her and tell her that this Yasmin might be causing underlying problems. Don't sit there and be like "look, this is what's going on". Somehow just try and sit with her and let her open up to you about how she REALLY feels. This will probably help more than anything. Maybe she really feels like her body is screaming at her or she feels like her mind is running in a 100 different directions -- she might just be blaming all of that on you because you're right there.

Keep your head up!

Upon doing research for this drug, one of the ingredients is croscarmellose sodium, also found in Allegra. I have had problems with both of these drugs and I just found out they both have corn in them. Corn is called the "hidden allergy" and, being that corn causes migraines in me, I know now that I can't take ANY drug with this ingredient in it. I found a site on the web stating that prescription medications can make you sick. For everyone who has had trouble with Fosamax, write down all of the ingredients and make sure those are never in any other drugs that the doctors prescribe to you. You will save yourselves much agony!
