Sweating problems symptoms and conditions

I HAD MIRENA INSERTED JAN 11TH OF 2008. I HAVE GAINED WEIGHT I HAVE CRAMPS SO BAD AT TIMES I CANT MOVE I HAVE JOINT PAIN BACK PAIN AND HEADACHES I HAVE SWEATING PROBLEMS WHEN MY PERIOD IS ON I HAVE LOTS OF BLOOD CLOTS AND MY MOOD SWINGS ARE OUTRAGEOUS. ITS ODD THAT WHEN U TELL YOUR DOCTOR THEY PRETEND AS IF MIRENA IS NOT THE PROBLEM AND MAYBE TRY TO GIVE U SOMETHING FOR THE SIDE EFFECTS THEY KNOW ITS CAUSING OR THEY PASS IT OFF AS SOMETHING ELSE BEING WRONG. IF IT WASN'T FOR THIS WEBSITE I WOULD HAVE JUST PASSED THESE SE OFF AS NORMAL IM TALKING TO MY DOCTOR ABOUT REMOVING THIS THING I HOPE THAT I BE OKAY AND NO HORRIBLE LIFETIME PROBLEMS OCCUR BECAUSE OF IT

my cholesterol went up 50 points to 245 in
just 1 year. My ldl was always good until
this year. my sister who is also on Effexor XR noticed her cholesterol also increased.
as a result I am being weaned off it.
I also have had sweating problems - my
sister's is worse & I heard on the news
that Effexor XR eliminates REM sleep,
which is why I am always tired. I have been
on Effexor XR for 3 years.

I have been taking toprol xl for approximately 9 mos. It was givien to me for rapid heart beat. My dosage has been doubled twice so that I am on 50 mg. I hate this medicine. I still have some rapid heart beat, I wake up every two hours at night, my legs hurt, and I have gained 20 lbs. I also wonder if it is this medicine that makes me sweat profusely. When I am doing yard work, or anything else in the summer heat, the water just pours off of me. I have never been a heavy sweater and I am out of doors all of the time. I want to get off of this stuff. Can I wean myself off by lowering the dosage a week at a time?

I do have sweating problems, also was wondering if others who have been using methadone for a long time have ceased to have mestruation or have irregular menstrual cycles?
