Hi I have had mirena for about 9 months now. at first I was bleeding all the time, and that was the only side effect. about three months later there goes my sex drive, then cramping all the time, oh I was still bleeding after 6 months, I stopped bleeding for a month then started again, and if I ever stop bleeding now it is only for 2 days if i am lucky, and I cramp all the time my moods are horrible. I am having blood pressure problems, (when I lay down it is about 19 lower then when i stand i have been told that is sign of infection or dehydration and lots of other stuff) , and i am dizzy, faint, head hurts all the time, am tired all the time, loss of memory, heavy horrible bleeding, weight gain, at times blurred vision. I am not sure if this is from mirena or something else but I have never had these problems before. me and my husband are thinking it is mirena maybe it gave me an infection or something like that. has any one else had these side effects?

prescribed this for lower back injury pain. This made me tingly and urinate a lot did not help with pain and felt like I had forgot something when I hadn't who thinks of this stuff felt spongy it must work for something in someone.

I just found this post by accident. I also am on Topamax 200mg daily. I have tingling in my feet especially in my heels. I find myself being very forgetful. I will be doing something and completely forget what I was doing. I am also having speech problems. This is very frustrating to me. I don't know that I could ever go off the medication. When I first went on the medication I lost a total of 80lbs. This was very scary. It seems now that I can eat whatever I want and not gain a pound. This is weird. I heard that the FDA is trying to approve the RX for weight loss. Just wanted to post my problems too.

My doctor put me on Topamax for ADD.... I am a 37 year old woman and I'm taking 100mg's of it. 50mg at night and 50 in the AM and have very quickly found that I have had memory LOSS very quickly. I have been on the med for 1 1/2 months. My vision is also getting worse and this medication is not helping me with the ADD. I am a Lab Rat to them... I am going OFF this medication. If anyone out there reads this... please do all the research you can. The side effects are not worth it! Today is Mother's Day and after 37 years.... I called her and could not remember her little sweet nic-name she has been calling me since I was born. My heart sank. IMHO.... This medication is very bad.

I'm 23 years old and really overweight. Going to see my doctor today because, I have constant itchy feeling in my throat like something is there but its not. I feel like gagging/throwing up all the time now, at first I thought it was just asthma, but talked to someone else taking lisinopril told me about the dry cough, so im pretty sure this is the problem. I don't see how anyone could keep taking this once you get these side effects. It's just a constant battle trying ignore the feeling in my throat, and trying to sleep is rough now,I wake up sometimes feeling like im choking.

itchy throat,nausea,dry cough,hard time sleeping and gagging.

Thanks for all of your input really helps, so I figured I'd let you in on how its making me feel, or so I hope its the problem lol

ok so now it has been almost 3 months since i hot this and now i am so nauseated that i was prescribed a pill for it because i went to the emergency room telling them i was very nauseous and i had a bada pain in my side as well as in my vaginal area...they did every test and looked at me like i was making it up because they couldn't find anything. they thought maybe i had a cyst or something but turned out that i didn't have one .they wanted to know why the hell im still bleeding if i got this in oct. they said i could become animic if i don't be careful i never thought of it that way.the past week i really notice my hair falling out. im only 19. i have no reason for this .plus i can not sleep. i have a 2 almost 3 year old daughter and a 3 month old that sleeps through the night and i still cant sleep .i am also very emotional and very touchy the littlest thing my boyfriend says and want to lock my self in a room and cry .i dont care what the doctors say i know this mirena has something to do with all this. i just need to find something to take its place but have no idea.if you have any ideas on what to use next please let me know.i know you are all smart women on here.

Hi everyone.Ive been on Yasmin now for 10months due to really bad heavy painful periods.I wasn't at all happy about going on it as i have tried different ones in the past and gained a lot of weight, but as this was my last chance in trying something to stop the bad periods or get pregnant as I wasn't in the right place to do that I had to give in and try it.I was told that I wouldn't gain that much weight,just a couple of pounds.But i have put so much weight on.About a stone in weight.And i work out 3/5days a week.And it doesn't matter how hard I try I cant seem to shift the weight which is really upsetting.I decided today that i would do some research on it as i know somethings not right with my body.My boobs have grown so much bigger and are so very much painful.My legs are swollen,my calf muscles really hurt when i exercise.As I use to be a dancer I have always had good legs muscles and ive always exercises so I knew it wasn't because of that.I became very moody,tired,insomnia,dizzy,head aches which I hardly ever got before and very snappish.I didn't want 2 do anything.I became very depressed about my body and life in general.Crying all the time.My doctor put me on anti-depressants and even though ive chilled out a lot more,everything else remains the same.You just know your own body,and ive known for sometime that taking this pill wasn't doing me any good.It may have stopped the painful heavy periods but at what cost!!! To have even more problems then you had before.I was reashured by my doctor who may I add was a gynecologist for 18years,told me it was the best one and hardly any side effects.Yeah right what a frigging joke.Im so unhappy about my self,and my life.Oh and you guest it,no sex drive.This pill has to be taken off the market.They haven't a clue how bad this is and what effect and long term damages its doing to us women.As im going to see my G.P tomorrow im going to be taken off it.Im so happy I found this web site.I thought I was going mad,and had a weird body.I just hope that when I do come off it that I don't go back to the bad heavy painful periods as it got to the point that i was on the floor and couldn't get up I was in that much pain that I couldn't take it anymore.I think thats why i have stayed on it for so long as im afraid of going threw all that pain again.So if anybody else out there reading this knows if theres any other way to stop it from happening again without taking the pill or having the injection or coil put in, please write back to me and let me know.

I have been using NuvaRing since Aug. 4th and i have had very, very bad cramping and stomach pains that take my breath away. I have been experiencing discharge and just constantly tired. And my cramps hurt even worse when i have to go to the restroom. I cannot hold it for more than about five minutes because i really start to hurt. My sex drive has really changed. I went from wanting it everyday to "No lets wait til the weekend " but then i'm too tired. I have been so thirsty, it just seems like my mouth stays dry. I have even been getting tension headaches and that mouth watering nausea feeling. After two miscarriages I was really hoping to have found something that will work for me, but i don't think i can take this anymore.

Checking in again. Been off the lipitor 3 weeks now. It feels good to feel better. I feel my old self coming back. I laugh sometimes. HOORAH!!! Pain in my legs 50% gone. Hips still troubling. Legs are still weak. I don't know if its from not using them much over the past 8 mo. or the poison lipitor. Still sapping life forces from my body. My life is a wreck . I can tell life is starting to get better. The only thing different, is off the lipitor. Lets get this stuff off the market. It is debilitating, painful, causes depression, to the point you are thought of as lazy, unmotivated. The pain and ache is all you can muster to deal with on a day to day basis. it is indescribable agony. I want to kick something. For the months that I have lost of happiness. Something has got to be done. There was a move awhile back to sell this stuff over the counter. What will they think of next. I am just thankful that I am feeling better. moonman

I have been taking doxycycline for about 4 days now. Last night I took it right before bed, with water, and upon waking at about 1 am I felt that the pill was stuck in my esophagus. And then my stomach starting burning and acid started coming up. I still feel like the pill is lodged in there, and it is very uncomfortable. Along with this issue, I have felt rather depressed, dizzy, yeast infection, and am extremely tired. I don't really know what to do at this point. I was prescribed it for pneumonia and a double ear infection. My chest is still killing me from the pneumonia and still have trouble breathing. My doctors have not been helpful what so ever through this process. I had to actually go to the hospital for the proper diagnosis. I don't even know if it is even working for me, but I don't have health insurance and have been out of work for over a week. Can any one give me ANY advice PLEASE???!!!!!

Hallelujah, its OUT!

I got mine out today!!! I made sure to take ibuprofen before I went in and thank heavens the removal was NOTHING like the insertion! Quick, easy and pretty painless!
I sure wish I could go "au naturel' at this point but my husband and I just can not risk pregnancy right now. I am grudgingly going to start on a low hormone pill on Sunday...

I will post in the future to share what changes happen now that the thing is gone!

Good luck to all you ladies!

This message goes out to ocexpert. I sent you a private email concerning your post made to me about bc. You did not respond so I will let everyone know that you work for the company. Of course you are going to push your companys product. The more you sell the more you make. Thanks to a tip from another member that posted. She fiqured you out. I WILL NEVER TAKE ANYTHING MADE FROMWARNER CHILCOTT AGAIN. This bc pill loestrin that you so highly speak of has cost me 8.000 in medical bills due to the dpression and everything else I had mentioned in previous post. You have made very hurtful post to not only me to several other people on this board. We are here to share or stories with others. I cannot sleep at night knowing what this pill has done to not only me but to several others. Maybe warner chilcott would like to pay my medical bills now. If I were you I would stay off these boards. If any of you ladies have realized that the doctors offices are stocked with femcon and loestrin. They do not have many samples of other drugs. This crap is toxic. If it works for you great but if not get on somthing else.

i was on lisinopril for a year and a half when it hit me like a ton of bricks.... i was twenty three years old and in super health, other than the moderatly high bp. i became very tired and dizzy like someone flipped a switch. At first i thought i was just coming down with a bad cold but after a week i knew it most have been somthing more. I was tired all the time, had problems with my sinuses, headaches, nausea, heart palpatations, dizzy, felt like i was going to faint all the time. I couldn't get to sleep at night and if i did i didn't want to get up in the morning. Even after 10 hrs of sleep i felt like i had just played two football games. I am one of the most optomistic people you will ever meet and i felt like i was going to die... I had no idea what was going on with me. I saw many doctors and they all told me that it was in my head. I felt this way for over a year when i suggested to my Dr that maybe it was the lisinopril. She really didn't think so but we stopped taking it and started a beta blocker. i have been off the lisinopril for 4 months and feel a ton better but still have a long way to go. Could anyone tell me how long this will last and what i could do to speed up my recovery... thanks CP

All I can say is that this posting has made me feel a bit less crazy... At first I loved Yasmin. I lost a sugnifficant amount of weight and felt very good about my body... 3 or 4 months into it I started having severe panic attacks. I had never had a panic attack before so it scared me even more because I did not know what was going on. I was having panic attacks on the subway ride to work. Many times people would move and sit me down and offer me water because I would turn white and start sweating. I thought maybe it was stress so I began to see a therapist... Which helped a bit but I did not want to take any other medicines that the doctor kept pushing on me so I stopped going. The attacks stopped but the emotional rollercoaster continued very much. I cry ALL THE TIME and get mad very easily. My boyfriend is very supportive of me and helps me get through the depressions and anxiety-- but I don't think it is fair for him to have to do that. More recently I have been getting "brain zaps" that make me a bit dizzy for a moment and then go away. It is very odd... I've also gone and been tested for every allergy ever because everything I eat gives me a stomach ache. I thought it was maybe because I was having too much caffiene but I stopped drinking that and the attacks stopped-- but not the depression and anxiety in general. I never really pointed to the BC until my best friend said she and another friend were having the same symptoms and we were all on the same BC... That said, I'm currently looking for one that doesn't make me insane!!! And doesn't make me gain weight... I can't gain weight or I will stop taking it. So if anyone has any suggestions, please let me know!!!!!

This was the most appauling medication I have ever taken. It made me incredibly irritable. I almost split up with my boyfriend because I was so unbearable to be around, and also got painful, recurring urinary tract infections. If you're female steer well clear of this one!

after reading others sideeffects i wanted to input mine
i suffer from bpd and schizophrenia defective disorder i have been on geodon going on 3 weeks now i like how it makes me feel normalized but i find my self pacing the floor or when siting moving my foot or leg i allso suffer from insomnia at od times of the day i feel what fred from dropdeadfred looks like will i keep feeling this way or will it pass i do everything my doctor has told me eating after i take my pills i take 2 60mgs at bedtime .

I have been put on lipitor because I have heart desease. This is the only drug I can think of that is making me feel like I always have somthing in my throat. I try to swallow to get rid of it but it never goes away. Another effect was that all of a sudden I lost all of my enery and had all I could do to move.

have Lupus (SLE) I have been on and off of prednisone since i was 13 yrs old and I am now 36. I have gained wieght that i can not seem to lose even though i barley eat anything due to the SLE it has taken my appitite away. several years ago i had cronic diaherria and went down to 80lbs It was either die or take the prednisone. Now iam about 200lbs which i usually wiegh 115 throughout most of my life. Now i have no energy I am in pain all the time I now am having tics in my upper and lower body, i have problems with being able to eat now i have lost teeth and the others are not doing well either.
isnt there somthing that we can do about the wieght gain and the effects that it has on our bodys. regular diet pills do not work because i dont over eat. the wieght has really done a number on the rest of my body. I am in constent pain!

thank you

After my 4 1/2 year old using Singulair for 2 1/2 years we took him off after coming across this site and we are so thankful! He was having teeth clenching, unexplained aggression (he was so happy and easy going til 3), bed wetting, loss of focus , anxiety and the worse one was tics. He would open and close his mouth and some eye twitching. It was so painful to watch. We didn't know what we did wrong, why this was happening to him, where this was coming from? His pediatrician said there is no relation to medication, kids just get tics some times, it will pass. When it's your kid you can't bear to just let it pass. A pediatric neurologist said it was a simple motor tic , (usually age 5-10) which some children are prone to, said some asthma medications can make it worse as they can affect the nervous system. After 6 weeks off the medication his tics, bed wetting and most of the other symptoms were completely gone. It was gradual, initially i saw no change then suddenly it was less and less and then suddenly completely gone. Symptoms have been gone for almost a month now. It is so unfortunate that these horrible symptoms are not listed when your child is given this medication. I am so greatful to this website,
