The only medication i take is Wellbutrin Xl low dosage. I don't know if this is actually FROM the Wellbutrin, but about 9 months ago, i developed urinary tract symptoms of chronic urination. I have to go to the bathroom dozens of times a day , and at night I get up 6-7 times to pee. Full bladder pees.
I do drink more water during the day, as i get dry mouth from the medication, but this is not just related to water, because if i stop drinking more water, this will still occur. I'm in good health and my doctor told me I am too young to have urinary dysfunctions that come in older age. There is nothing found by ultrasounds. I Was wondering if anyone else on WELLBUTRIN XL is experiencing this as well. Also, recently I had a sudden increase in my blood pressure. I don't have a history of this.
I am 49 yrs old, white female and in generally good health.
I would not fail to mention that Wellbutrin XL is an excellent Antidepressant, the best of any of the others i have tried over the years. I am almost fully functioning, but still working on my issues.
I actually have felt emotions that were happy and positive on a recent basis after many years of "numbness". this drug has not had any headaches, anxiety causing, that wheel spinning or disorientation those other antidepressants had for me. I had to stop taking more than 8 different antidepressants in the past.
I'm just mostly wondering about urinary dysfunction issues. Please post if you are using this and having this.

My daughter is 13 the Dr just put her on 10 mg Singular 4 days ago. She is very ill and tired all the time and now the bottom of her feet itch and sting when she stands on them. I am not letting her take another pill after reading all of these side effects.

I was on Altace even though I am allergic to grey-paper-nest-building brown wasp stings and had read a side effect of people undergoing allergy therapy for this having heightened sensitivity or reactions when being on Altace. For this reason, I had requested an Epipen from my doctor. I work at a municipal golf course and went to another municipal golf course to pick up a backhoe. There was a nest in the corner of the cab. I was stung and the Epipen was back at the other course in my locker. I immediately took three Benadryl (which I carry in a key-chain container) and told a coworker to take me to the nearby hospital emergency room which was a total of ten to possibly fifteen minutes away. I didn't feel bad after the sting, which wasn't a very bad sting, but my feet tingled immediately and I felt that was not good. We took off and I wrote down my medications for my driver and passed out. An iv was started immediately and I was semiconscious but heard that my blood pressure was 54 / 36. My pulse was very slow but I remember not what it was. I had lower abdominal cramps and was vomiting. I was asked if I was diabetic, as sweat was pouring off me. I was given saline and a steroid (iv) which starts with d (and prednisone prescription to follow it up) and epinephrine subcutaneously (the same dose, .3mg, that is in the Epipen. I was kept three hours and released with the instructions that if I felt any weakness coming on later that evening to call 911 and return. Other episodes of wasp stings had produced hives on the chest and back, a return of swelling at the sting site at four hour intervals (even days later), when it was time for Benadryl again. Also, the most serious prior stings produced underarm itching, then progression to groin area itching and finally the feet itching and tingling, then when this subsided the itching was over except as to the sting site. Possibly I reasoned that if the sting caused my feet to be involved immediately, it would be bad. Emergency department personnel asked if I was alergic to other bees or wasps, but I have not been stung by any other than these wasps since I was a teenager. The only exception being a large number of stings from the small soda can swarming wasps which people call bees. This gave me a feeling such that I quit working where they were as I could feel an effect was accumulating. I cannot really describe the sensation. Did you know that Epipens are to be stored between 59 and 77 degrees fahrenheit with excursions allowed to 86 degrees? They are not to be refrigerated. I carry one on my person now in a cheap K-mart insulated bag. Inside this I have a cheap stainless thermos into which the Epipen fits. In the recent 100 degree weather I put one aboutr 3 X 5 inch X 1 1/2 inch thick frozen blue gel (ice replacement which people use in lunch boxes, etc.) in the bag to keep the interior cool or cold. This takes a fresh one about every four hours and is my personal solution to the delimna of room temperature and high temperatures and keeping the Epipen with me. When a person has such a harsh reaction, it is my understanding that the next one can be expected to be as bad or worse. I am off Altace but on Lisinopril which is also an Ace inhibitor and which I may get off when I return to my regular physcian. This sting occured Aug 2, 2007. Hope this information helps prevent someone from going through a life-threatening experience as I did.

This is just my first month using NuvaRing. So far so good. I've not had any major noticable symptoms and if anything my regular monthly mood swings (two weeks before my period) have dropped from 5 days to 2. My boyfriend really appreciates that.
I have noticed a few skin irritations, they look like bug bites and come up rather quickly and disappear just as fast. Slightly painful but not something that I can't live with.

I'm a 39 year old female and i'm using 50 mg 4 x a day for 5 days because of a bladder infection. I can't remember feeling this lousy taking an antibiotic: tired and dizzy, no appetite, painful limbs, watery eyes that sting, mild headache, lethargic.

I have been on doxy for about a week. I was out in the sun but I don't really see any "burns". However, my hands are tingly and sting really bad when water or any liquid gets on them. I can't submerge them in water at all or it stings. I noticed others saying they had the "tingle" how long does it last?

I URGE YOU TO PLEASE SUBMIT ANY ADVERSE EVENTS OF THIS TERRIBLE KENALOG DRUG TO THE FDA--JUST CLICK THIS LINK AND COMPLETE THE FORM: http://www.fda.gov/medwatch/. The FDA is responsible for assuring safety of medications. Therefore, it is imperative that the FDA recognize the adverse effects to provide any credibility to a class action suit. Please consider forwarding your case to the FDA to force them into action and begin addressing these atrocities.
Here's my case: I am also a victim of having the Kenalog injection administered over a year ago to alleviate poison ivy itching symptoms. Prior to having the injection, I was not informed of any side effects. Not only did the injection not alleviate the symptoms, but has resulted in a discolored and uncomfortable indentation in my left buttock area and psychological anguish because of disfigurement of my body. It is over a year later and the indent remains and continues to cause discomfort. The dermatologist who administered the injection stated that there was nothing I could do to reverse such effects. I reported my case to the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) Med Watch and strongly urge others to report their adverse event to the FDA (see link above).
