Rediculous symptoms and conditions

I had a Kenalog injection in my left bum check in June 2007 to reduce hayfever symtoms. My menstrual periods are always regular - since the injection they have been VERY irregular, more days on than off. I also had a very heavy bleed which i thought was a miscarriage at the time (if it was a pregnancy then it would have been unplanned). I now think that my irregular periods and the heavy bleed are due to the Kenalog. I also have a mark at the site of the injection which is not fading - i think it will scar. When i went to my GP to complain about my irregular periods the GP dismissed me and said that i had an STD and sent me for a swab!!! I knew he was wrong and i felt very humiliated. My GP did not warn me about this side-effect of Kenalog, even though i asked about them. I have been told that the Kenalog will be in my body for 3 months - i only hope that things return to normal once it has left my system. I will never have it again.

Hello all!! I have been on NR for around 9 mos. I think that this is a great method of BC for me, a person who forgets to take pills and gets rediculous nausea from pills. However, I'm wondering if anyone experiences NIGHT SWEATS? I sweat so much at night, that everything is soaked and I often feel like something is crawling on me and its just perspiration. This is gross! I've taken many 2am showers because I can't stand it. As I read some of your entries, I noticed that fatigue is mentioned. I thought I needed vitamins, more blood, or just 24hrs of sleep. I wanna continue to use this method of BC, but can't stand these two problems.

hey i am 19 yrs old and i have been on yasmin for 2 yrs. Never really thought i had any side effects till last week. I all of a sudden lost some of my sex drive. Since then i have not been myself at allllll. I feel like im crazy. Like i am here but my emotions arent. I feel different around my boyfriend of 2 and ahalf yrs and i feel different at work and at home. I'm just driving myself insane wondering if somethin is wrong with me. The only thing i can think of is my birth control. I also have rediculous anger problems now. I freak out over nothing..start yelling and screaming and crying. I have had heart palpatations and an upset stomach for a few days and it happens off and on..but mostly i just DO NOT FEELLIKE MYSELF ..Have any of you experienced any of that?

Hey ladies, mayb u can help me! ever since starting yasmin 4 months ago (goin on 5th) i feel not myself.. i used to love eating salad, hot dogs, or w/e but since being on it i cant eat any of it!! and after i eat something i feel nausated (sp) my periods are longer too its sad!! im only 19! has any of u had theses symptoms and if soo please help and tell me how you got through it. thanks

hi guys! about four months ago my doctor switched me from ortho tri cyclen lo(which I had been on for two years) to yasmin. It was the worst experience I have ever had in my entire life. About a week into the medicine I started getting horrible headaches, terrible anxiety and suicidal thoughts. I was sooo scared from this medicine that I stopped taking it thinking that everything was going to get better! Well wasnt I wrong. I developed OCD really bad to a point where I would sit and worry that I would hurt someone I loved or that I would hurt myself. and I had disturbing thoughts in my head that made my anxiety worse. I have been off the medicine for like 4 months and I am now taking 50 mgs of zoloft for my OCD, anxiety, and depression. I am unsure that it is working yet it's only been two weeks! I hope and pray eveyday that I finally start feeling myself! It's been horrible! Has anyone had this experience from this medicine? and if so do you think that I should get a hormone test, because I am almost convinced from reading other posts that my hormones are wacky! Well thanks for reading! and I hope everyone feels better! :)

When I first started taking Adderall, it seemed amazing. I had no problems with it at first, except for coming home after school and falling asleep, but it didn't bother me much. After I had taken it for a few months I started to get severe crashes in the late afternoon. It was like, when I was on Adderall I was awake, happy, confident and outgoing, then I would come down from it and be the exact opposite. I would experience things like feeling very depressed and abandoned randomly and I was often the downer of the whole group, putting everyone in a bad mood. I started getting upset with my best friend for the littlest things and feeling like she had suddenly turned her back on her good friends.
Looking back now, I realize how rediculous and off-base my fears and insecurities were. After a while, I was just pushing my friends away by feeling unloved. That's the thing, Adderall takes away your ability to feel natural love, success, happiness, energy, and motivation. It puts up a block in your mind from the real world. Nothing you feel is real anymore.
I stopped taking it completely one day. I realized how much it had destroyed my life. Stopping was hard, but worth it. I remember the first time after stopping that I actually felt happy and tired at the same time. When I did Adderall, the feeling of being tired was tied to coming down from the drug, so I lost the ability to be tired and happy, because tired meant unhappiness was coming.
Unfortunately, I had to recently start taking it again, for it was the only thing I could think of to help me with school. With about four weeks of school left I'm currently facing four failing grades out of six classes. So far it has been extremely hard, and I still despise this drug. This will be the most challenging next couple of weeks I will have ever experienced, but I have to.
I can tell you that I can't wait for summer vacation when I can rid this of my life forever. Even though the high still makes me feel unbreakably energetic and happy, I know that this happiness is not nearly as good as real life happiness. I'm just lucky I have some amazing friends to stick by me this time, so that when I come out of this in four weeks, I wont come back to a life abandoned by the people I pushed away unknowingly. I can't wait for the day that I can actually live and feel my own life, and my own happiness.

I don't think my last post went through...my 22 mo old was given omnicef for pneumonia 2 days ago - the very first night he woke up screaming like crazy, lasted off an on for an hour or so, maybe more. He is NOT a sleep terror toddler and never has had sleep problems. The next day he did the same thing when waking up from his nap, the screaming and crankiness lasted about 30-45 min. It is now 2am and he's been doing it off and on for an hour again. My husband is with him and I am reading every one else's posts with the same effects on their kids. I just went over the omnicef website with a fine tooth comb - NOTHING on this side effect - it's rediculous. This is found on the internet by too many people making these middle of the night posts - i'd probably recomend they put a little more money into research and figure out what in the world is going on and why so many people are having the same experience. I'll be calling my doctor in the morning! He has also been really crabby since starting it - he'll just scream and 'freak out' at the drop of a hat - kind of like terrible 2's X 10 - and he was not previously like that either.

I was definetely warned by my cardiologist that I would feel cough symptoms. He also told me NOT to get pregnant. I am concerned that I am on Lasix and although the recommendations are to take 6 - 8 glasses of water while on Lisonopril, this is contraindicative to the Lasix which already gets rid of excess water. My newest concern is that I have read weight gain as one of the symptoms and if I start gaining weight, this will cause pressure on my heart. HAS ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCED WEIGHT GAIN?

I recieved a kenalog shot in November 2004. I had no idea why this deep divit appeared a few months later, and recently a plastic surgon told me it was from a kenalog shot. I am 17 years old and have a cute body and an odd indentation in my left butt cheek that is noticeable in most clothes. I have an attorney working on the case for me but i was wondering if anyone was able to fix their divit like mine, or if any other court cases have been fought. I think it is rediculous that people are given this shot every day and not even warned of these side effects. It is very uncomfortable to sit and not nice to look at my butt. PLEASE someone help me find answers!!! THANKS!

i been on prednisone for 4 months and i have gained so muc weight its rediculous even when i dont eat much i weigh myself and the numbers keep getting higher i cant seem to lose the weight i want to know how long it takes bedore my body goes back to normal or if it ever will

My daughter who is 17 has a staff infection. After going to the doctor, he prescribed two antibiotics. One was SMZ/TMP DS 800-160 two times daily, the other was levaquin 500 MG once a day. Within an hour of taking the levaquin, she complained of massive headache, having to urinate immediately, dizziness, nausiousness, wanting to vomit, lethargy, needing to sleep, chills and asked me if this was some kind of drug that messes with your mind because she felt high. By the time we got home she was very sick and had to go lay down. The next day she woke up to swelling in her ankle, (although it could have been from the site from the infection), and we went back to another doctor. He said to keep taking the medicine. After taking another SMZ tablet she had no effects. But, after taking her second dose of levaquin, the effects mentioned above came back worse. This morning she woke me up crying, wanting to vomit, head pounding headache, all over ache and again all the effects mentioned above. I am NOT going to give her another dose of this stuff! I realize all medicines have a side effect but this is just rediculous!!! We are going back to the doctor today and hopefully all will be well. I am soooo glad to have found this site. They need to take levaquin off the market. Just where does one complain about this type of problem? P.D.
