I took Levaquin for a sinus infection March 26th... 5 doses of 750 mg. I felt slightly better initially but that lasted only a day. I think it was prescribed wrongly, I had a virus and was getting over it... not a bacterial infection. The problems started about a week after the 5 day course ended. I ended up in the ER feeling like I was going to die, some strangeness in my breathing and feeling as if I was having a stroke... like I was going to pass out. They found nothing wrong except an elevated blood pressure and did a d-dimer to see if it could be an embolism (at my insistence, I had no idea this could be from levaquin and thought I was having a stroke. After the ER visit, I just felt like I had the flu, but I didn't... weak, extremely tired with some muscle aches ... two weeks out I had a lot of pain in both legs, like charlie horses that didn't go away... that lasted several days to a week... the weird depersonalization and the anxiety has been intense throughout. Constipation (never ever had it before this drug) started about a month out from taking it. I still feel pain in my legs from time to time and a feeling like there is a tight band across the top of my left foot... like when you tie your shoe too tight and need to loosen the shoe strings, but I am not wearing shoes.

I am a 30 year old nurse and know first hand how birth control pills are individual. I was on many before Yasmin. 6 months ago I started Yasmin because it was the new hype in birth control medicine since it reduces length of period, flow of period, and reduces acne.
I don't think the ingredient drospirenone that's included in Yasmin (a potassium sparing drug, and diuretic, another form of the same type is Spironolactone) works for me.
Ever since I had experienced these symptoms:
Anxiety-heart palpitations, suspiciousness, racing thoughts.
Headaches-tension, leading to muscle spasms in neck and shoulders.
Dizziness-Vertigo type spinning sensations
Ear fullness-popping and cracking without losing hearing.
Fatigue-no motivation, especially for an early riser and a person who works 12 hr shifts.
Chest tightness, lump in throat feeling, could be due to increase in stomach acid (HCl).
If anyone else has vertigo, or dizziness, I would love to know!
Thanks,
Good luck with trying a different form of birth control.

Hi Ladies, I am glad to have found this site. I got my Mirena inserted on July/08. I was very nervous and anticipated the pain, however with the 2 Tylenol that I popped prior to the appointment and the wonderful nurse I had the pain was bearable, nothing more than a bit of cramping and a little pinch and it was over. I figured we had got off to a great start, except for the uncomfortable feeling of having a foreign object in my body that lasted about a month. My partner complained that it poked him during intercourse but he understood our WHY to having this done, I was determined to make it work. Now Im a 28day cycle girl that is regular...lasting only 4-5 days. Since Mirena has been in my life I am bleeding for up to 2 weeks long, seems like my periods get longer and longer! I have experienced bacteria vaganosis, along with yeast infections. Yuck! Weight gain of 15lbs, minor stomach pains and the mood swings. This is starting to affect my life and its very frustrating...Im sitting on the fence with what to do. I go to my doctor next week and will have made up my mind by then, I cant take it anymore! Even if it were not for the irregular, looong periods, I think I would hang in there, but am tired of constantly feeling wet! and not being able to touch my partner!
