Stay asleep symptoms and conditions

Hello, I had a TT two weeks ago. I had hyperthyroidism. I was diagnosed three years ago after ending up in the hospital because I had a thyroid storm. I started taking synthroid the day after my surgery. I feel like a nut job! I don't know if it is because of the medication or because of the TT. Could it be a combination of both. I don't remember my numbers but I know that I was in a hyper state when I went in for surgery. Since I have been home...I can not fall asleep without meds, can not stay asleep, my day starts around 4:30 AM, have night sweats (big time) and chills (although, that symptom seems to be improving), I have been so irritable that I can't stand myself, my husband and kids are ready to kill me. I know that my behavior is totally unreasonable but I can not seem to control myself. I feel crazy! I see my Endo next week, I just hope that I can make it until then. I feel like I need to pack my bags and head to a hotel and spare my family from me! Please someone tell me that this will get better.

I've been on levoxyl for approximately 10 years thinking the side effects were from my hysterectomy 6 years ago and being on hormone replacement therapy. I am irritable, agitated, unable to stay asleep, having more and more trouble recalling people I've met through work and retaining information. Family and friends have teased me. It's getting worse. My most bothersome side effect is that every night while after falling asleep, I've been awakened by extreme hot feelings like I'm on fire inside, not the same as hot flashes experienced by menopause. I'm hungry all the time feeling like I can't stop eating, luckily, not gaining much weight but picking on food as much as possible. I'm waiting for a phone call from my doctor to see how to stop using levoxyl and what I'll have to replace it with.

I have been using Yasmin for almost 10 years. Recently I have began getting migraines (never had them before), nasty vaginal discharge and an embarrassing increase in facial hair. I can somewhat deal with the migraines, but the other two symptoms are extremely irritating.
I have been to my gyno for both. She told me that the discharge was "normal" with the use of Yasmin. I don't think snotty goo coming from your vagina for a straight week before your period is "normal". She assured me that all testing came back negative and it was just something I would have to deal with. As far as the facial hair goes...I can't leave the house without standing in front of a mirror and plucking my poor chin and neck for up to an hour each day. My gyno suggested that I get laser treatment, which would be grand if SHE were paying for it.
I don't know if I want to continue taking Yasmin or not. I have ovarian cysts and used to have severe periods lasting for a week and a half at a time, and Yasmin had helped with those problems.
Has anyone else had these problems...and what are you doing for them?

Hey I have been on Doxycycline for 15 days now and could not figure out why a healthy 25 year old was having back pains and stomach pains like im dying until i looked up this site i had never had a problem with acne until about 6 months ago and my doc put me on this mess i still have 2 more weeks of this med and i am deff. not gonna take it anymore i casnt beleave how painful it is to try to better yourself ... this stuff should be banned , oh yeah no kind of sun issues at all and to the guy who said something about drinkers i dont drink or smoke and the side effects are VERY VERY PAINFUL !!!!

Boy am I glad I found this site! My dr. put me on Levaguin 750 mg for 5 days for a sinus infection. The first night I only slept a couple hours at time, woke up anxiety ridden, had strange dreams...The second evening I started having heart palpitations and "band around the chest" type pains that thankfully subsided after a short time. But that night I couldn't stay asleep for more than an hour at a time, but I wasn't at all tired the next morning (!). However I was NAUSEATED big time. By the 3rd afternoon all I could stand to do was lie in bed and stare at one spot on the wall. The dr. told me to stop taking the Levaquin and force fluids. That was yesterday and I'm slowly feeling better, but boy, I'll take a sinus infection any day over those pills!

I have been on zoloft 50mg for about 8 weeks now. The first and very bothersome side affect is the problem sleeping. After getting to sleep, it is very hard to stay asleep. My nights are full of vivid dreams. I have read this is a normal side affect. The BIGGEST problem I've begun to have is that while sleeping...I guess I am dreaming that my skin is itching because I have woken up many times to the pain of me scratching my skin until I have left deep burning scratches. Last night I had to get up and get a cold wash cloth to put on the skin on the back of my neck from the harsh scratching. This has NEVER happened to me before the zoloft. It has made a world of difference in my depression, and do not want to have to go off of it. Has anyone ever heard of this? Please post if you have....need to know this is a side affect...not just me...

I've been on Lisinopril for a year. I was changed over to the generic brand just 3 months ago and am having more & more trouble. Sleeplessness is a growing problem.....just can't go to sleep and then can't stay asleep for more than 3 hrs. at a time. I've also experienced trouble with bounding heart rate. This will come on whenever it wants to. I have had a dull headache for at least 3 weeks and a great deal of pain & stiffness in the neck/shoulders area. The latest problem that I have started to experience is unstable vision. It is like looking through heat waves. This causes dizziness too. I have been listening to my heart beat rather loudly for some time now. I do have a diagnosis of fibromyalgia and have multiple joint pain. I thought I was falling apart, but because of this site I find it can all be due to taking 10 mg. po qd @ hs. I just stopped taking it last night. I need my vision. I need my health. Thanks!

I am 52 yrs old. I had a history of low b/p untill 10 yrs ago when it suddenly change to very high b/p. Cause unknown.

I have been on numerous types of b/p meds tryin to control the high b/p. About 12 months ago my GP changed me over to Lisinopril. My b/p dropped way to low and he changed the dosage to 10mg per day. It is still lower, 100/60, but he seems pleased with that.

At about the same time I developed a persistant hacking, dry cough and began vomiting as many as 15 times per day. I cannot keep most meals down and it's causing me to have trouble falling asleep and stay asleep. I've lost over 65 pounds, my hair is thinning and I am exhausted.

My GP nver mentioned Lisinopril might be the cause and has sent me to 3 different specialists to find out why I am coughing and vomiting. No one has come up with an answer.

You can imagine my shock when I stumbled upon this website!

I've emailed an inquiry to my GP to ask if he thinks Lisinopril might be the cause and will ask my gastro-intestinal specialist when I see him this week. I'll post their answers.

I'd be thrilled if this drug was the cause and the cure could be a simple change of medications.

Restless, jumpy, unable to get or stay asleep. Been taking for 5 days now (500 mg), one pill a day, but finally figured out that it may be the levaquin so I won't take the last 2 doses. Hope I can get some rest tonight......

I am going through menopause and have had a lot of trouble with insomnia. I asked my Dr. for Lunesta and was using that without side effects until my insurance co said they wanted me to try Ambien instead. It put me to sleep faster and I did stay asleep but never woke up feeling rested. My husband said we had conversations I don't remember having. The worst though was the dizziness and feelings of anxiety I experienced the next day. I decided I wanted to stop taking it because of that and experienced a horrible night last night with my head swiming and unable to sleep the entire night. I am going back on Lunesta.

Been on it since summer 2003, 150 twice a day.

Mostly the dizziness, which isn't as bad anymore.

However, it did raise my blood pressure. Not like hypertension, but the high end of normal. I'd always had LOW blood pressure. But when I'm dong more exercise, it's back to normal. My doctor monitors it. also:

Weight Loss: it really reduced my appetite and I was never a big eater and was already thin. But I lost about 10 lbs. That doesn't bother me too much, I do eat normally.

Hard to get to sleep or stay asleep. I have enough trouble with insomnia. It gets rid of depression but jazzes me up. I take ativan if I need to, i.e. if it takes too long to get back to sleep, but of course, I worry about becoming dependent.

I've developed hives recently and my dermatologist suggested it could be wellbutrin. I'll talk to my GP but I don't really want to change to an antipressant which may be worse with side effects, ie sexual, weight GAIN, etc. I don't know how it's possible to determine if it IS wellbutrin causing the hives.

None of the effects are very severe, just uncomfortable like the hives and the insomnia.

Generally I feel okay, and certainly better than when my moods were all over the place.

I fall asleep at night but I cannot stay asleep. I have nightmares and constantly wake up. Than I am exausted during the day. Is this from the synthroid? IF anyone is experiencing this as well, please respond. it is effecting my daily life in such a negative way. I went to a sleep disorder dr. and he wants to do a sleep study on me.
