Sister said symptoms and conditions

I have just brouight my normally laid back husband home from the ER. He is on his 5th day of levaquin for a sinus infection. He has not slept and has been pacing at night, aggitated and anxious day and night. His heart is racing and he is just not himself. He feels like he's coming undone. His sister said she had the same experience with this drug last year. She felt quite altered. Of course, all meds have side effects but the ER folks, though caring and thorough, hadn't heard of these side effects. only of nausea,dizziness and sleeplessness. I suppose onsse persons sleeplessness can be anothers acute anxiety. My husband can fall asleep sitting on a curb in the middle of a parade, and yet he hasn't slept longer than an hours restless stretch since taking this. They senst him home with Xanax to settle him down enough to sleep. He says he can't wait to feel sane again. I can't wait for him to stop being so wired and revved up. Yikes.

Hi Sarah

I too cant seem to get to the site to post

I agree with Dejay are their alot or any people who took Yaz or Yasmine who feel like they did prior to the pill. Maybe whoever said well they probably dont come back to this site when they are better I hope thats right

I dont want to feel like a different person

I loved who I was

Is anyone having insomnia?
I do every night now I think from the Lexapro my sister said to stop it but Iam terrified every which way I turn

I too have the butterfly fluttering in areas of my body what is that???

Silke-
What did your doctor say? I have been going over some blood hormone tests I had done way back when I was feeling terrible, and my doctor confirmed that my testosterone was indeed low. My level was
testosterone 13 ng/dl
%free testosterone 0.45 %
free testosterone 0.6 pg/ml
It looks like yours may be even lower than mine was. I am thinking your free testosterone was measured since you said it was 0.37 ng/ml? or was it 0.37ng/dl?
Also as a side note throughout all of this my Iron levels keep dropping too. I have to take an Iron supplement to keep my level up. I thought it was because I had a history of anemia (low iron) but it may be a side effect of the unbalance as well?
Also I was wondering when in your cycle did they have you get your blood drawn? Was it at a particular day you had to do it, or just anytime?
Anxious to hear from you,

Also to KIM and DEJAY
please hold on. Silke is right, it is going to get better. coming off this pill is hard and everything you are mentioning is symptoms we all have experienced. The sore in your mouth Im sure is related to your hormones just like your sister said. I had a lot of mouth issues (sore, raw gums, my teeth hurt etc.) as well. Just take good care of your teeth right now maybe try to avoid acidic foods for awhile (oranges, tomatoes, pasta sauce) or anything rough in your mouth like crusty breads. I asked my dentist when I happened to have an appt once when I had a sore in the back of my mouth and he checked it out and said he definitely saw something and it looked irritated but not to do anything unless it did not go away in a couple of weeks. I asked him if it could be hormone related because I was having problems with my hormones and he said yes. It went away. Dont worry ok. Oh and one more thing, DO NOT believe those doctors that tell you this is NOT related to yasmin, it most certainly is!!!! I have had physicians tell me no, its not related to the pill its in your head. My second opinion Dr. (and third and fourth!!! opinion Dr. ) all told me YES of course it can be from Yasmin!!! And from here on out I too have been on the hormonal rollercoaster as everyone else on this site has. UP and DOWN you think your better and then your not. But Silke is right and Sarah too, and many of the women on this site, you will get better and what you are experiencing are things we all felt too, and you will get through it! Keep posting to this site. It helps. There are lots of kind women full of concern because they too have been through this nightmare and it breaks our hearts every time we read about another victim! I hope the drug company and the doctors wake up soon!!!!!
keep your head up,
BitterRN

Thanks much

Well Iamnot sure what to do about the progesterone cream it seems totake the edge off I agree I need tohave my body return if it ever does

I read with the natural cream if your body doesnt need it it will just not use it???? So thats why I tried it...I should stop??

Now I found this little bump on the roof of my mouth its like a little hard thing my sister said the hormones cause it but Iam scared about that now didnt notice it before

What am I going to do??
I cant take much more I have been so strong and Iam losing it

Please keep helping me
Iam really sad
