She believes symptoms and conditions

Hello,

I have only been on Yasmin for 1 month, and already have some of the same side effects. Lately, I have started to have small panic attacks, I've never had them before. I started to freak out about volcanoes. I've always hated them, but since on Yasmin I panic about them a lot. My mom has noticed that I am sleeping a lot lately. I have no hunger, I am nauseated and vominting. My mom also told me that she believes my panic attacks about volcanoes are from Yasmin, as do I. My boyfriend is worried about me because I seem down a lot. I haven't had a sex drive either. I wake up everynight dying from thrist. I'm not only calling my doctor and getting off this stupid pill, but I'm never taking it again. I will not recommend this pill to anyone, actually I will try to discourage them from it.

Hi all,
I only discovered my condition due to bleeding for ten days.
After running tests, i was diagnosed as thalassemia carrier having iron deficiency anemia with PCO My doctor prescribed for me yasmine for 3 months. However she believes, it will not treat PCO. So i will do an oral glucose tolerance test this week. Besides on the result, i may start metformin. I already started losing my hair months ago.

Is it normal what i feel of dizziness and tiredness? Will this medication increase my weight? I am very healthy and watching my diet carefully. If any one has similar experience please tell me what i should expect and feel free to mail me.

17 year old female. I was diagnosed w/ thyroid cancer when I was 8 and had my entire thyroid and several tumors removed a month after the diagnosis. I've been on Levoxyl for about 7 years. I often experience chest pain, nausea, abdominal pain, and depression. I want to take myself off the medication, because I recently went 3 weeks w/o taking it and the depression went away. Only problem is when I stop taking the medication for more then a month I start to feel really sick, paranoid, and I'm unable to concentrate. I've asked my mom if we could look into an alternative medication, but she believes my doctors when they say that my depression, chest pain, nausea, and abdominal pain are not at all related to my taking Levoxyl.

As "Guest" I stated in that post I'd update after seeing my doc so here it is: Feb. 18th I saw my doctor (a rare good doc) who after a full exam said Levaquin was not the cause of my pain symptoms.

Since July 2002 I've taken 10mgs Lipitor (rx'd by jerk doc), currently liver enzymes are elevated which she believes is the cause of this pain particularly since I have fibromyalgia, etc.

She stopped the Lipitor, rx'd Prevacol stating it was gentler on the liver. If I continue having problems with statins, cholesterol levels will be managed differently.

For this severe pain she asked to rx strong pain meds (opiod) which usually cause me horrible side effects. She listened to my reaction to a variety of these type meds and rx'd lowest dose 2.5/325 Percocet at bedtime only. Naturally my pharmacy nor 5 others had it in stock so it was ordered, due in on Monday, Feb 24th.

In the meantime my pharmacist called her office and got the doc on call who rx'd 5/500 Vicodin. I took it yesterday and I had all the usual side effects which lasted through this morning though milder and continuing to dissipate (dysphoric anxiety, violent shaking, headache, nausea) so Vicodin is added to the list of what I cannot tolerate. And it did not alleviate the muscle pain at all.

I'm wondering whether to bother picking up the Percocet she rx'd not knowing if this one at bedtime will have no or manageable side effects plus pain relief.

Much of this is for different message boards - I'll have to find opiod and statin ones - , however, I wanted those who read what I believed were side effects of Levaquin to know that my doctor decided otherwise.
