Seams symptoms and conditions

hi, i've read through this several times, and it is now 3am and i find myself reading them again.

i was on both effexor and wellbutrin (generic versions of both) for quite some time, but didn't have full-on hair loss like I have now 'til about earlier this year when I was on wellbutrin only and was taking 150 mg twice a day. I got off of it because I have always had thin hair so I started to freak out when I noticed hair loss.

Unfortunately I became so depressed that I simply HAD to get back on it; and made the biggest mistake of my life by going up to the full 400mg dosage of the generic wellbutrin.

It killed me. I have very very very little hair especially on ONE side of my head, the left, and can no longer wear my bangs forward like I used to.

I went to the dermatologist (who I think was pretty bad, actually, because I went in for my HAIR and he didn't even do a strength test by pulling on it or anything!) and he said I had male pattern-ish baldness which is even more disconcerting because I can't hide the hair loss, I have a huge bald spot near the front of my head -- and I'm only a 21-year old female, people! This is beyond depressing, really. I'm beyond angry at my psychiatrist for always always downplaying the hair loss risk. I loathe him for it, in fact. But anyway.

I am going to start on biotin, and probably some prenatal vitamins, and maybe even tail Rx (******).

Thank you for posting your experiences, it has been a huge comfort to me (I wasn't lying when I said I read this thread many many times before and am reading it again now, at 3am!)

January of this year I was diagnosed with Alopecia Areata (spots of hair loss). My Dermatologist has been injecting Kenalog-10 every 4 weeks on my scalp. The hair is slowly growing back but the injected area feels bruised "always", and "yes" I have an indent on my head :(
I have noticed that I've lost about 20 lbs since my 1st visit, irritable & have head & neck pain on a daily. However, since mid April I've been having an abnormal period. (VERY ABNORMAL-Like every other week)
Does this have anything to do with the shot? Has it happened to anyone else? I've been reading everyone's side effects and it seams like it's targets at the bladder.

I was taking Danazol for 20years in alow dose for pressitant breast pain. I gradually began to suffer from muscle pains for no apparent reason. My doctor immediately stopped the Danazol, although wouldn't admit they were causing the problem. I ''fell apart at the seams''. None of my muscles worked properly, I had extremely high blood pressure, could barely walk, I was in constant pain and had to have massage for 2 hours per day. My eyes ached, I couldn't control my bladder and bowels very well. I thought I was going to die. My doctor sent me for numerous blood tests, endoscopes etc. But said I was depressed. I was depressed, because I felt so ill !
Its now 4 years since I stopped Danazol and I feel it has caused long term damage to my muscles. I have tried everything from massage to supplements. Things have improved a great deal, but I find it difficult to exercise as I tire very easily and particularly my back muscles seize up even after sitting for any length of time.

Has anyone else been on a low dose of Danazol for this length time. Have you suffered?

MY HUSBAND IIS ON TRICOR IT SEAMS HIS SEXUAL ACCIVITYT HAS CHANGED IS THIS A SIDE EFECT

I am very sorry to read about all the health problems induced by lipitor on this site. Statins do block a very important bodily function, your body's ability to produce cholesterol which is vital to a persons health.

In science, the cholesterol theory fell apart at the seams years ago, but marketeers hang on to make as much money as possible before all of us catch on.

I know because I was a victim of cholesterol lowering drugs. Never again. Never.
