Teenage daughter symptoms and conditions

Extreme scarring in my teenage daughter - several "stretchmarks" that are treatable by laser and insurance considers coverable but refused to pay the treatment - $1200.00.

Scars cover over 50% of her body and are spreading.

My teenage daughter was taking generic Wellbutrin (manufactured by Watson pharmaceuticals) 150 mg. daily for about 3 weeks or so and started having serious hair loss on the top of her head. The prescribing psychiatrist told her to stop the medication and after about 2 weeks, the hair loss has stopped almost completely. I have read a number of blogs including this one that indicate that hair loss is a side effect yet the Wellbutrin trials only listed hair loss as a side effect for less than 1% of patients. Given the U.S. Supreme court ruling today that says that even if the FDA has approved a medication, a pharmaceutical company is still responsible for fully reporting side effects and can in fact be sued in individual states if they do not provide sufficient warning, I would be interested in hearing ideas of how we can put more pressure on the manufacturers of Wellbutrin and its generic equivalent so that they give better warning of this side effect.

Been on Welb for about a month now and it seems as if a few side effects are getting stronger instead of diminishing. The headaches are seeming to get stronger and are there the whole of the day. Just like a tight band around the top of my head. Also my ears are constantly singing like a little electric zzzzsss. Also I have found that I react much snappier and very quickly ticked off byt the slightest things. Haven't really got rid of the depressive thoughts completely as yet and am thinking of calling the Dr on Monday as the headache is really tiring.

I have been taking 200 mg of lamictal for about 3 years. I am on no other medication. I too have the dry hacking cough that never ever goes away. All day and all night. Dry hacking cough that sometimes leads to gagging. It is terrible. I have had chest xrays, breathing tests and no one can find a reason for the cough. It started about the same time I started this medication and I believe it is the cause. I also experience pain in muscles, it's a roving pain that seems to show up in different places daily, sometimes muscle spasms. My stomach is always nauseated. Very little short term memory, runny nose all the time, constant feeling of having a cold, blurry vision, sensitive to light, little red bumps that appear on my skin, itch, then when they disappear, a scar is left like a cigarette burn. I am reducing the amount of lamictal I take as of this week. I am now only taking 175 mg and will for another week then go down to 150 mg. I am hoping some of these side effects will go away, if not I have to get off of it altogether. It's funny, because I didn't have all these side effects when I first started taking it. Seems the longer I take it the worse it gets. Just can't handle it anymore. wf

Hi

Just re reading old posts gosh somany poor women on here

Does anyone have any clue how long till we feel better regardless if your on anti anxiety pills or not???

Dejays therapist and doctor said if your on anti depressants about 3 months if your not it will take about a year???

Does anyone have insight??

I need to be normal and work again havnt worked in a month

I need to be a mom again to my teenage daughter.

What is the deal???
Iam debating whether to stay on the pill or go off unsure what to do????? Lexapro iam referring to

My teenage daughter has been taking Doxycycline 100mg twice daily for about 2 weeks now. Today we spent the day on the beach. She is experiencing tingling in her hands, arms, feet, and lips. She was also experiencing burning sensations with her arms, lips, face, and feet. Now that she is inside and out of the sun the burning sensation has subsided. The tingling remains.

I am 50 years old and was put on Topral 2 weeks ago for HBP and PVC's. I had
been on a diuretic and Potassium supplement because of slight high blood
pressure for 9 months, and that's when the PVC;s got bad. 4 days after
starting the 50MG of Toprol and stopping the diuretic, my calves started to
swell up and get puffy with edema. I weighed myself and saw that I had gained 8
pounds in 4 days! I went to the Dr. the next day, assuming he would take me off
the Toprol, but he said to stay on it, because it was contolling the PVC's and
that the Edema was caused by my stopping the water pill! So, I went back on the
water pill and weaned myself off slowly for the past 9 days. Now, today, the
edema is back. I am scared that I am going to get Heart Failure because of the
water weight gain, or DVT, I want off the pill! But I can't stand the constant
PVC's and I was near suicidal with that! I don't know what to do? Does anyone
else have this leg swelling? Does it go away? Is it dangerous? My husband
died last year and I need to stay well for my teenage daughter, but this is
ridiculous! I'd rather have had the slight HBP and not taken any of this at
all. if there is anyone out there who cares, please answer me, I'm so scared!
And now that I have read al these posts with the other awful side effects, I'm
twice as scared. I know many peolpe on Beta-blockers, and they have no side
effects. What is wrong with me?
