Shakey symptoms and conditions

Hi everyone,
Found this site and found it very reassuring, as I can relate to so many of you out there. Here is what is happening to me:

December 08 had Mirena fitted for irregular heavy periods, spotted/bled almost continuously once it was inserted, but gradually the periods became a bit lighter. A typical period lasted around 18 days, which was much longer than before I had the Mirena fitted. Had visual migraines (partial loss of sight), doctor whipped out the Mirena on 7th July, still spotting - into day 26 now! Feel really fed up with all this, have lower back ache, which I didn't have before, pelvic pains as though I am about to start my period, anxiety levels up to around 8/10, insomnia, just generally feeling really low, shakey and tearful thinking something is terribly wrong with me. Have an appointment tomorrow with the gynecologist and am going to ask him for a hysterectomy as my life is being ruled with these ongoing problems. Last year I had a scan which revealed I have fibroids and a thickening of the womb.

Does anybody else have a lot of spotting? Is it a post Mirena symptom?

Okay, i am a 28 year old healthy woman. I have had a few anxiety attacks due to moving, new job, being a single momma and etc. But they are under control.
However, last month i started Yaz to help with mild PMDD which had developed after i had my daughter ( who is 2 now and awesome!!!). Well I thought it was okay at first then 2 weeks into it i started my period and bled for 2 weeks!!!! i have never had a period that long, i thought my blood would be low by then end of it. Well, i also had migraines, which i have never had before. Every morning when i woke up my head pounded. So, i have started the second pack and it has been awful, my lower back is hurting so bad, my anxiety is peaked and i am all shakey. Not to mention i feel like crying my eyes out. Oh and i have eaten 2 pieces of bacon today due to nausea. I couldn't believe it was the BC. When i was young i had taken Triphasil and ortho tricyclen. And i remember them being okay. But not this one.
So tomorrow my gyn. is putting me on Ortho-lo so hopefully it will work. I hate we all have to go through these side effects, but i guess that's how it goes. God bless everyone i hope we find some answers! :o)

My father has always been level-headed and NOT ever prone to hallucinations. He is a rational and
He is in the hospital and for 4 days they have had him on this drug. . After a few days on it, he started seeing things that don't exist. He can be lucid one moment and then anxious and paranoid the next. He slips in and out of this irrational behavior. He becomes filled with fear that he is being abandoned by us and in an unknown place. He sees people and things that don't exist. He sweats and
trembles. We are very worried. Aren't there other antibiotics available? We are complaining, but hospital tries to pretend they have no clue as to these side effects.
NOW, After reading more about this dangerous and mind-altering drug, we believe that it needs to be withdrawn from the market and further tested. We are going through hell and my poor father is extremely confused and getting worse. We fear what will happen next. What can we do to get the hospital to withdraw this drug from him while at the ssame time continue to meet his needs? before this drug was administered, he was mentally stable. To clear an infection (pneumonia, which started in the hospital) do we need to sit by and watch an intelligent man become extremely disoriented, shakey, panicked and progressively becoming delusional???

I started singulair in 2003. It seemed like a miracle drug! I had no asthma until feb. 2007.I had really bad asthma I had to start using my pulmo-aid again. Well since 2003 I,ve had very bad leg pain, neuropathy and RLS. I was a sales person. I walked miles and miles every day. I was in so much pain. I am on darvon. My head has a tremor. My hands are shakey.
I started taking cymbalta for depression And had to quit work.I've been off for 4 months. I lost my health Insurance, I couldn,t afford my singulair I started taking Quercitin. It works really well .It's been about 3 weeks since I stopped taking the singulair and guess what? I had my first pain free day sat.april 20 I've been having a lot less pain in my legs!

MT SIDE EFFECT THAT i HAVE , SINCE I HAVE HYPOTHROIDISM HAVE BEEN UP AND DOWN LIKE A ROLLER COASTER. i CAN TELL ALL THE TIME WHEN MY LEVELS ARE OFF. WHEN THEY ARE TOO HIGH OF TOO MUCH THYROID MEDICATION IN MY SYSTEM, I FEEL VERY NERVOUS, IRRITABLE. SHAKEY FEELING INSIDE LKE I CANNOT CALM DOWN IN SIDE. MUSCLE CRAMPING, AND BAD HEADACHE. WHEN MY LEVELS ARELOW , I AMY VEY TIRED AL DAY LONG AND JUST WANT TO SLEEP. i ALSO GET A VERY DEPRESSED FEELING AND WANT TO CRY ALOT, BECAUSE I DONT FEEL RIGHT. WHEN THE LEVELS ARE REALLY LOW I GET DIZZY, AND WHEN i TRY TO DRIVE MY CAR I CAN NOT CONCINTRATE VERY WELL AND i FEEL LIKE I AM DRUNK.. THE FEELING IS AWFUL, AND MAKES ME FEEL LIKE I AM NOT IN TOUCH WITH REALITY.

I havnt written on the forum in so long its really painful somedays to read of all the women sufferring so its very difficult for me to even talk about it most days

I have been off Yaz for 4 months today
I have had nearly every symptom mentioned

Thyroid elevated
Blood Pressure raised
Heart palps
Muscle weakness
Terrible horrible anxiety
Depressed thoughts
Not feeling like myself
No confidence anymore
Feeling of never getting well
Vaginal infection
Loss of interest in doing everything I love
Right eye feels odd the lid
Insomnia severe
Loss of appetite

As I sit here typing I miss the old me it is like the last 4 months have been a blur a rollercoaster unimaginable nightmare

Prior to starting Yaz I was having a great life nice boyfriend fun shopping going out planning trips cleaning gardening working you name it I did it and never ever experience saddness depression or anxiety
I was completely confident holistic easy going even tempered

I was on the pill 3 weeks 2 days off of it and I was hysterical and thought I was losing my mind and going crazy I cried and didnt leave the house for 6 weeks cried and had my family witness me almost losing my mind or so I thought

Although I have made progress I still am not working
I cant be a mom like I was to my daughter
I dont have confidence
I lost 14 lbs
I feel shakey in my arms still and have no clue if it is anxiety stress hormonal or if I have some unexplained illness
I dont know

Living in fear everyday of not being me again is tearing me apart

I had the hormone pellets biodentical inserted 3 weeks ago to try and give me a edge on balancing out I have seen psychologists psychaitrists medical doctors wellness doctors hormonal doctors

No one knows no one understands no one knows whats wrong

Iam forgetting things things I know I know its all scary

I hold hope that Bitter RN is better and a few of you

I want to be me again

What is it we are feeling off the pill months later like m

Is it hormonal is it Post Traumatic Stress is it the anxiety is it depression is it medical problems I dont know
All Iknow is I was healthy and fine and now all this

Anyone who can shed light and hope please say

Hello ladies,

I thank the organisers of this forum and all the ladies who have participated in discussion in regards to the concerns and problems they are facing with Yasmin.

I am a 26 yr old male whose girlfriend is currently on Yasmin and have taken the time to research a bit about this product with a serious concern not only to her health but to our relationship !

We are suffering almost all of the above mentioned problems - and i say 'we' because i am going through a LOT here. It might be worth noting here that I only see my girlfriend on weekends.
Excessive moodiness - and when i say excessive i mean the type that was described by 'Nicole' and many others - the type that makes her want to crawl out of her skin, she gets very shaky as a result and complains that she has knots in her stomach at the end of it. These sessions have lasted up to 6 hours straight which was only yesterday evening. Being a who the type of person i am, i cant but feel responsible for her feeling this way, i keep blaming myself for something i may have said.
Anxious / panic attacks. She becomes totally unmanagable, often crying a LOT from feeling anxious for hours on end, to the point where she DOES want to crawl out of her skin as 'Nicole' put it. She gets shakey and dizzy all at the same time.

Cramping sensation in the legs

Tiredness - as put by 'Voicesi' "like pass-out tiredness". After a day long attempt to make her feel relaxed, being a kind gentlemen for an entire day, she would literally pass-out. Being a stereotypical male in this regard and I understand that us men have the ultimate weakness when it comes to the 'urge for sex' or our 'need to reproduce' but i hope to get intimate with my best friend, who ends up passing out. This leads me to another problem:
Loss of libido - Yet another problem faced by the many messages on this forum, namely by 'Christy', 'missy botto', 'missy' to name but a few. 'Tanna' has also complained about having no sex drive. No sex drive to the point where there is usually no physical contact whatsoever. I cant go near her sometimes which leads to further problems. she feels as though i'm afraid of her. I am very afraid of her! She cries, gets very anxious, would be shaking in the foetal position for hours. I would in return feel totally useless as I cant comfort her in any way. I feel helpless, she feels that she's all alone in this so i take it personally... I think its safe to say that these pills are 'from hell' as 'ML' put it.
I am tempted to throw away these pills to be the partner "who cant keep up" as 'christy' put it.
I believe she is doing physical damage to herself.
I dont deserve the way I am being treated and you ladies out there with these problems are hurting not only yourselves but quite possibly - and my case is a perfect example - others around you. Why ? all in the name of having unprotected sex, reduced periods, clear skin, controlled periods, or whatever reason it is ITS NOT WORTH IT !!

Hi

I have read Kevin Tredeaus book and was a follower of him prior to this experience. I almost or did have a nervous breakdown from taking Yaz I tried to deal with it for 5 weeks on my own taking natural things Kava and St Johns Wort valerian walking swimming, I almost killed myself by not taking anything so be careful to scare women on here against taking anti anxiety meds.

Its a case by case situation.

I never took tylenol or nothing before this

Now Iam on lexapro I was one step away from having to be admitted to a hospital Dejay was locked in the bathroom reading to hurt herself she and I both treid on our own to solve the anxiety ours was horrible. I couldnt sleep bauseated lost 15 lbs crying hysterically in and out of the ER 7 times.
The anxiety was so horrible I cant even dscribe how horrible I felt. I still dont feel good on the Lexapro yet but Dejay is back to her old self shopping going out and is sleeping well but only after 3 weeks on Lexapro it saved her life.

Just be careful telling people not to take them someone could take their life by reading this forum and being too scared to take them.

Again I would of never of in my wildest dreams thought I would take one I didnt own a pill but I was at the brink of maddness.

If I could of done it without a pill trust me I would of.

Iam still shakey as I type my stomach is so torn up I cant eat well half the time cant work cant go in stores not doing well

iam using Calmfortay with the Lexapro tried it last night it is very soothing and homeopathic.

I wonder what Kevin Tredeau would do if he took Yaz or Yasmine and felt like us???

Dejay and I ran parallelon this whole episode
She didnt have any of the symptoms prior to Yaz either

Dejay is taking lexapro and I may be soon as well if this anxiety doesnt subside

To say I have other issues going on I dont know how prior to Yaz
I never took a prescription drug
Never took over the counter meds
Never went to a counselor
Never had PMS
Never had anxiety

Now Iam anxiety ridden shakey and cant get myself back

Its overwhelming scary and upseting

Nauseated yes yes yes!
Nausea and the anxiety feeling in my arms has been my 2 worse symptoms
Thats why I have lost 11 lbs

Iam nauseated as we speak.
I use to have a great appetite and slept like a baby and never had anxiety befor the pill

I have my doctor today and she swears its me not the pill makes me sick dont even want to go but what choice do I have
I have devloped this weird sore in my mouth its gross

I felt well last night but woke up and my arms feel numb and anxiety its like the nerves in my arms are damaged they feel tingly and numish and shakey???/ Anyone have the arm anxiety or whatever it is

i wrote to berlex I demaded money for missed time at work pain and suffering and my medical bills paid they wont do anything
I called several lawyers none want to take the case.

I wasnt just a little sick I have been deeply affected bad I dont know if everyone out there is as bad as Dejay and I are Iam going to lose my job so its life altering for me

I have this terrible taste in my mouth as well it is thick and its bitter its so annoying ai cant stand it almost metallic

I am a 69 year old female and have always been in good health and very active. I have been taking Lipitor for years and the side effects have been gradual. After my daughter gave me an article on the side effects of Lipitor, I could not believe what I was reading. I have so many of the same side effects that are in the article -- weakness in arms and legs, dizzy most days till late afternoon, my hands have become shakey and I recently have been falling a lot. My hand writing is getting worse and I can't seem to remember things. I have bad pain in neck and back and I feel fatigued almost all the time. I don't enjoy doing things I used to do as I just do not seem to have any energy. If I had my way, I would stay in bed most of the day. People that have know me for awhile say that I have not been the same person for awhile. I have an appointment with my doctor and plan on discussing all of this with her.

I began taking Advair 250/50 in 1999. I was convinced Advair was a miracle because it worked so well and eliminated the need for a fast acting inhaler within the first few days. However, now 7 years later, I am beginning to have side effects. When they first started, my doctors told me it couldn't be the Advair. According to the doctors, I should have had symptoms initially, not after years of taking it. So, I dealt with the side effects for a year until asking to be taken off of it.

I gained 20 pounds in 5 months (very rare for me to gain weight at all), mostly in the mid section. I feel dizzy all the time, throat hoarseness and voice feels strained when I talk. My eyes are constantly uncomfortable and sensitive to light, and I have frequent headaches. I feel more irritable and shakey when I get hungry than ever before. Often nauseous. I recently developed PVC's and a heart murmur and almost daily have a racing heart and PVC's. The final straw was when I found the correlation between taking my nightly dose and immediately feeling anxious with racing thoughts, tense muscles (especially in legs), and complete inability to sleep for hours until the medicine wears off.

I have now been off the Advair for 3 days, and have switched back to Flovent only. However, I am still experiencing the muscle tension, racing thoughts, and inability to sleep at night directly after taking the Flovent as well. The symptoms wear off a few hours later and only occur directly after taking the night time dose. I am wondering if the Advair has caused some permanent damage.

I am sure that several women have had positve experiences with Yasmin however, mine has been the polar opposite. I only started taking it five days ago however I have experienced severe nausea, and vomiting. I feel shakey and dizzy and I have turned into a very moody and angry person. I feel confused and tearful throughout the morning and have not slept a full night since I began taking it whcih makes me a zombie at work. I have experienced bloating and extreme back pain as if I am going through PMS. I will stop taking Yasmin today.

i am a 52 year old male with many med. problems. I have taken Tequin twice, with no problems. I am now on Levaquin, 750 mg.X 10 days for an absessed tooth. I have taken 3. I won't take any more. I have had the following side effects: Lightheaded, Shakey, sweating,stomach cramps, dizzy, sore throat, fever, and depression/anxiety. I believe I have become "sensitized" to this family of drugs. Be aware, and tell your Doctor.

Wow wow wow! thank you guys for posting about this. I was diagnosed with depression last fall and have been on an anti-depressant since. It was working wonders. I've had problems with acne and ovarian cystes, so I decided to go on Birth Control-they suggested Yasmin cause of the lack of side effects. My depression has gotten worse. I never even imagined it was because of yasmin!! And my appetite sucks. I'm nauseous constantly and it's worse when I eat. I feel shakey ALL the time. I figured that was because of Yasmin, but had no idea the depression would be because of that. I've felt more anxious lately and stressed and I cry all the time. I've been on it for about 6 weeks now. I think I need to go back to my doc and ask for something different. Ugh, this sucks! Thank you guys so much!

I've been taking topral for about 4 or 5 months.
It was prescribed to me in order to slow down my heartbeat.
SInce I've been taking Topral, I seem to itch a lot.
A couple of times, I purposely skipped taking it and seemed the itching stopped.
I called my doctor and they said the itching is not from the drug.
I check my blood pressure everyday and sometimes it drops to 100/55 and 115/60 and the dr. office told me not to be alarmed.

I just started taking singulair, It has helped the post nasal drip, cough and allergies. But, I feel very anxious after taking it and shakey in my hands and legs. I noticed my legs are weak. I have a hard time falling asleep at night, my body feels jumpy when I start falling asleep and I stop breathing in my sleep. I have never done this before the medication. I also get a medicine head feeling. and concentration problems. I am glad my allergies are cleared up, but I am not sure if the side effects are worth it. If I can't sleep again tonight I Am getting off the medicine.

3/6/2005. I've been on Geodon for almost 2 months, my list of side effects are very much like what I'm reading on this site. Thank You everyone that has posted and Thanks to the web site owner. One side effect i dont see listed here is the stiffness of my whole body, I take little baby steps for at least an hour after i get up in the morning and while im ram rod stiff, i also feel shakey at the same time. Thanks to this site I know the blurry vision is a side effect.

I have been on a methyl pack for a few days for a severe sinusitis which caused major swelling inside my ears. My ears are still sensitive to noise but I don't like this feeling from the meds - I am jittery or shakey which 1. is embarrasing in public and 2. have bad thoughts of causing a major accident while I am driving like this. I have little kids and I do not like this feeling at all.

lisa !!

I have been on prednesone for six days, for recurring virtego, my ENT Doctor prescribed 2 tablets of prednesone twice a day for five days and then tapering off at 2 tablets twice a day for five days and then 1 tablet once day for five days. I'm at the sixth day with 1 tablet of prednesone and my body is all swell up and shakey. I'm unrinating more often than usual. I feel alot better. My dizzy spells were very bad and headaches are gone. I'm not sure whether to keep taking the prednesone as prescribed--my ENT Doctor doesn't know about my side affects yet.

high fevers, chills, red rash all over swollen skin, major headache, swelling in eyes, anxiety difficulties, confusion, lots of sweating, difficulty sleeping, strange dreams, and I've been really shakey and tired too but can't do anything about it. I am taking no more of this crap ever again.

10 months ago, I went to the hospital with severe head pains, they gave me a iv and said they were giving me Reglan. My head paint went a way fast, I was feeling so much better then fifteen minns later they said I could go. I was standing out side waiting for my husband to come get me, I started feeling numb, shakey, couldnt breath. I thought I was having a stroke, I went back in and asked if this was normal? they said it was just making me tired and that i need to go to bed. So i get in the car and my husband started driving, we got no further then two blocks and I went into full blow sieazures, i couldnt move, talk, or anything I looked like a severe stroke patient, I got rushed back to the hospital and they gave me a cat skan, they said nothing was wrong with my head accept for i was making it up. my husband demanded something be done, they gave me benadryl and 45minns later it finaly started going away, I am still dealing with severe stiffness in my neck, and back. I get a tingling sensation in my head like needle pricks, and they said it was from the reglan, and that I could now suffer all my life from it.

It makes me feel jittery, shakey on the inside, sleepy, cramps. I hate it.

I went into the hopital for a bowel resection. They gave me Reglan after the surgery. Within in a day. I had strange feelings, restlessness, edgy and could not stop moving. I walked the hopital for hrs and hrs. One nurse said I was having anxiety attacks and gave me ativan. They released me after 9 days. I was back in another hospital that same night with a bowel obstruction. They pumped me with more reglan. I became very shakey and felt like I was going to fall apart. I stayed in that hospital for 19 days. When they released me I had to go back and see my original surgeon. I told her I thought the reglan was doing strange things to me. She just increased my ativan and told me I had to take it for at least 3 more mos or I could end up back in the hospital with another bowel obstruction. I started to have head shaking episodes about once a week but I still thought it was anxiety. Then after being off reglan for 1yr, I was still having attacks only every night. I saw a neurologist and she said I had permanent damage to my brain from taking Reglan and now I"m on Parkinsons medicine and ativan to try and control the symptons. I will never be the same and would not recommend this drug to anyone.
