Taking a nap symptoms and conditions

I think i'm relatively young (29) however I was/am having problems emptying my bladder when urinating. Basically I finish and then a few minutes later some urine is still dribbling. My doctor gave me samples of flomax about a week ago. Recently i've been noticing my erections are awful and orgasm is weak. I checked this message board to see if anyone else was having the same problem. Not sure whether I should keep taking this or switch to uroxatral, another drug that i've taken in the past to stop the dribbling

WOW! I have been taking wellbutrin for two years now. The first three weeks were spent with nausea, vivid dreams, some jitters and being very tired. By the end of the first month that had all pretty much gone away and I was feeling more energetic, less anxiety and no depression. When I started exhibiting memory loss at first I really didn't notice it since was just articulation & range of descriptive words. Eventually it progressed to common words and sentence endings. Then I began to notice I could no longer do ANYTHING and listen to someone else at the same time, that progressed to not paying attention to what someone was saying period and the lack of ability to remember the plot of books I had read or some movies I had watched. I also began to notice moderate hair loss. Last but not least I was very slowly gaining weight, it was beginning to add up and I didn't seem to be getting the energy boost or feel that great anymore. So I decided I would quit. After a quick taper off I got to experience all the joys of withdrawal, nausea, sleeping fourteen hours and taking a nap in the afternoon, appetite swings, mood swings, diarrhea , sweetooth and the inability to get up and do anything or go anywhere. It was paralyzing. That went on for almost a month. Its been three months now and the improvement in my cognitive function and physical energy was so profound that it made me wonder if my problems over the past two years could be related to the wellbutrin, so I typed in memory loss and wellbutrin and here we are. I really didn't realize it was affecting me (or others)so seriously and I had zero initiative to investigate my condition until after I quit taking it. Dont get me wrong when I started taking wellbuterin I was at the mercy of my emotions and I needed something, but I feel the corruption of my facualtys was very insidious with this drug and by the time I realized I was having problems I didn't readily recognize it and and had no desire to do any thing about it anyway. My husband had even pointed these symptoms out to me and still I didn't/wasn't able to put it together until now. I don't know what the solution for others will be but I have found mine. I guess what bothers me most is that none of the symptoms caused by this drug was expounded upon by my doctor, the focus was all about how much better I would feel, He never once mentioned memory loss or concentration. And in the last two years he has never once mentioned the idea that I would ever be off antidepressants. For most of us it doesn't have to bee forever. I don't know if I had it all to do again if I would take wellbutrin again or ask for something else, but what I do know is that I would be more aware of what I was taking and not take it for nearly the length of time I did. The drug itself kept me from reacting to its effects and I was unable to gage when I was starting to do better emotionally. The process of getting off it made me wonder if I could do it and if I really was better, believe me I thought about reaching for that bottle every day for a month. Ask yourself where you are mentally, talk to your doctor, MAKE HIM TALK TO YOU, and taper off a lot slower than I did so your able to clearly differentiate between recurring depression and withdrawal. I am no longer in the same frame of mind that I was when I started taking wellbutrin and now that I am completely off of it I feel fine. Good Luck and be careful

I was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's Disease 12 yrs ago after my daughter was born. I've been taking Levoxyl 100mcg all these years. Recently I switched to Targets pharmacy & I let them talk me into buying the generic. What a mistake. I've been on the generic for 3 1/2 months & I feel like I have been hit by a truck! I thought I was coming down with the flu. I don't get out of bed, I shuffle out of bed. It's like I have the body of an 80 year old. I also noticed I was hungry all the time. I've been having dizzy spells and my dry skin came back. I have been very tired. I've been taking a nap everyday. The only good thing that came out of it was I started sleeping better, but it's not worth going through all of this. I switched back to the name brand today. I've read where some of your doctors prescribed antidepressants. I started getting very irritable & anxious after my daughter was born, but I thought it was because I was a first time parent. Now, I'm thinking it was the levoxyl. I am slowly weaning myself off of the Wellbutrin. The less medication I take the better. One thing I did was start a personal program with Women to Women a few years back. Once I did, I noticed my fatigue went away. Before I was having to take a nap everyday & didn't want to get back up. I also noticed my memory got better. It's a very interesting website.

Ever since I have been taking Coreg CR I feel tired and have less energy. I also will on occasion have shortness of breath going up stairs etc. I did not have these symptoms before so I feel worse. I am diabetic and recently had l stent placed in one artery that was 70 % blocked. Does this sound usual?

Hi all,
I just wanted to stop by and mention my symptoms from Yasmin:
-I am always tired, my sleep cycle increased from 6-7 hrs to 9-10 hrs. sometimes I come home from work, and go straight to bed, because I can't think of anything else, but taking a nap
-depression. My life is wonderful, I have loving husband, I just got in the school I wanted and I gonna start this fall. There is no reason to be sad, yet I am just not enjoying anything, like it's not my life
-leg cramps, horrible leg cramps, charlie's foot, toys cramp especially in the evenings
-emotional downs, can cry for no reason
-no sex drive
-dizziness
- and!! I do too have decreased hearing! my husband says I am death but it's just recently got that bad!!
the list goes on, but those are the most bothersome symptoms. I am on Yasmin for 2 years. All described above didn't show up right away, may be half year after I started taking these bc. I 've been suffering from all these symptoms for quite a while now, and it just hit me recently that it's not just depression, (since I never had one, and there is no history in my family), that it's my bc affecting me!!! I gonna go to my gynecologist ASAP and try to substitute Yasmin for something else, or, possibly just dont' take any bc at all.
Thank you ladies, for all your postings, it helped me realize that I am on the right path :)

Was in pain rest if the night n by the way no i could not walk. I waited till my dr office was opened n was wheeled in grom the back n he done all kinds of test on me u could ever think. In the mean time im crying n moaning bad n beggig GIVE ME A SHOT TO KNOCK ME OUT PLEASE!!!!! He sent me home on pain pills to take ever 4 hrs until it ran it course.I now am walking very slow n weak in my legs but its only been 3 days now n im up to taking a pain pill ever 6-8 hrs now n I also lost my job, from being off work and im a single parent.
Last year i had brontchis. Doctor gave me steriod shot n it kelpt me up for 3 days . I was scared people said thats the way people are on drugs. I just knew i was scared to death n i even to the hospital n they gave me a very stronge sleeing pill that would knock me out . Then went to my doctor next day n was digonased with insomea.

I'm in a mess. For 3 months now I've been really ill and it doesn't get really better though I was visiting doctor after doctor (no one found anything wrong).

Anybody here suffering from these terrible side effects under Yasmin (please e-mail or answer me):

- dizziness, feeling dazed
- muscle fatigue
- weakness, fatigue
- nausea
- racing heart
- panic attacks / anxiety
- headaches from time to time
- light stools
- extreme tiredness (pass out tiredness),
could barely wake up after taking a nap
- feeling faint and lightheaded

What I've been going through for the last months ist not really worth to be called "life". I can't go to work and even can't do anything in my house. I'm really desperated and searching for people, who perhaps have gone through the same or similar and feel better today after getting off of this pill.

I quit taking Yasmin two weeks ago but don't feel really much better, yet. How long may it take me to get better??

Please help!! Thanks!!
