Thursday night symptoms and conditions

My experience with this medicine was a nightmare, I started to taking it on a Thursday by Saturday, I had a very bad headache from coughing from Thursday night, I also have a lot of mucus, swollen tongue and saliva gland, on the 6th day, I was very tired and body was aching, I slept from 4:30pm Tuesday evening til 5AM Wednesday morning, while sitting at my desk Wednesday morning I'm still falling asleep, I can do without this medicine

Hi Everyone i hope you are all getting well x

My name is Mandy i had my coil put in almost just over four years ago following an emergency ectopic pregnancy, i was in hospital for a week (bad times). I was in no fit state to argue with the docs recommendations as this was all new to me, so i let them do what they wanted basically!

I had the "DEMON" removed on Thursday night (1st July 2009) by my own doctor much to her disapproval

After all the years of knowing here she actually didnt really care for me deciding to get it removed! And preceded to lecture me on contraception.I am 40 and have a 20 and 18 year old! and was mad she made a big deal of it considering my loss 4 years previous.

I ended up telling her in my most maddened but calm voice " if you dont take this out now i am either going to kill myself, kill my family or kill you"!

I told her about the thinning hair (which as a point of fact ladies for me is a big thing, not because i am proud of my locks, but because the doctors can poo poo any symptoms they like as hormonal, stress, womans probs, just woman in general!! but all of these woman all having thinning hair hmmmmm bit weird to me!) she did agree the mood swings and weight gain was the coil though.

I am not the same person i was four years ago, despite having a great life, house, hubby, job, kids, i do get the same stress as any other person and want to put the world to rights, but nothing a few friends and a bottle of wine couldn't cure. (pre coil)

If don't know if i will have any friends left!

Today i have some bleeding (i never had heavy flow before thankfully) although i did have major PMT, i expect a crash at somepoint, i am anxious and panicky and actually thought i was having a stroke, but panic will do that, i have low blood pressure ( which is on the up) tingling headaches and all due to removal i hope lol and hormones being all out of whack.

BUT....every time i thing of the little evilness not being inside me anymore i smile and feel great!

It may be for some people but it wasn't for me, now i want the old Mandy back or whatever is left of her, and maybe drop the weight along the way!!

Good luck to you all and make yourself heard xxooxxx

April I started Singulair last Thursday night and felt tired and depressed
29th on Friday but thought it was something going on in my life. On
2009 Saturday, I had severe, throbbing headaches all day but took the
Singulair for the third night. Sunday, I again had throbbing head- aches so looked up this web site and thought, "Aha!" I stopped
the medicine but had dull headaches on Monday and felt tired. On
Tuesday, I woke up and had trouble breathing. I went to the doctor
who ended up putting me on a nebulizer, giving me a shot of
steroids and prescribing an inhaler that I'm to use 3 times a day as
needed until the Singular is out of my system. I was only put on
the Singular in the first place because my doctor thought my
hoarseness might be from an allergy. What a nightmare!
I also suffered from apprehensiveness, and also
sleeplessness, and a fever. Never again!

My doctor prescribed Singulair for my allergies and asthma last month. Immediately I began to have headaches from it - not terrible, but just there. After about 3 weeks on it, I began to have ringing in the ears also. Again, not bad, but just there. I decided to stop the Singulair (even though it was the first thing that really worked for me) on a Thursday night and the next morning I woke up with a horrible really loud noise in my left ear like a piece of heavy equipment and dizziness! I went to urgent care that Sunday and they put me on a round of prednisone - didn't work at all. I went back to my allergy doctor and she is VERY concerned, as I have "significant hearing loss" in my left ear. She referred me to a different doctor where I have to go today for a procedure to have my eardrum slit open and steroids injected behind it. I am beyond upset. This is ridiculous!

ive had mirena since nov. 2008 i had it placed 6 weeks after having my 1st daughter in sept. it hurt going in and since then i have had nothing but bleeding since it was inserted. its put me in the hospital twice, 1st time doctors said it was a cyst on my ovaries ( i refused a pelvic exam) then last Thursday night i started having horrible cramps on my right side in my ovary area to the point where it hurt to walk. went to the ER they did an ultrasound CT scan and a pelvic exam turns out i have a bacterial infection in my uterus. and i remember my obgyn telling me that if it cause an infection i needed it removed so all in all i made an appointment to talk about removing it tomorrow.. i thought it was the best thing in the world but they don't really tell you every side affect. i cannot wait for it to be removed although im not going to like taking a pill everyday!

Update to my March 18th entry. I got an x-ray at Med express after my Gyne's office treated me like a wacco and my PCP said they couldn't help it wasn't their field. I didn't know writing for an x-ray was so difficult. I went to med express and they did the x-ray and confirmed my fear that it was still in me despite what the ultra sound. I ended up in the ER on Thursday night and had Surgery at 12am to have this thing removed. I had to have a CT before surgery because the x-ray didn't show exactly where it was it just showed it was still in my abdomen area. I was also told by the x-ray tech at med express that women who are breast feeding have an increased risk of the mirena moving and should wait. Nice to know now. Hope this helps anyone else.

Pregnant or not pregnant?

I'm updating my previous post. I went to my GP on Friday and had another urine pregnancy test done which was also negative. She sent me for a blood analysis for which the results will be back sometime this week.

I told my doctor I wanted the mirena removed regardless. She said to wait a couple of weeks and then come back and we'll discuss my reasons for wanting it out, etc. Where I live here in Canada, it's not the GP who inserts or removes it, I would need to be referred to an OBGYN. It would be a bit of a wait, with first the two weeks to go back and see my GP and then wait for a referred appointment with the OBGYN. So, I decided to take matters into my own hands.

After reading a post on here from a woman who removed hers, I was a little worried about doing it myself, but decided to see if I could. I chose to remove it in the bathtub because after not having a period since August or September, I started to bleed on Thursday night and had sever pain in my upper abdomen, the same area that has swelled. Once in the bath, I shifted onto my left side, lifted my right leg and felt for the strings. I lost my grasp on them twice before I was able to keep hold. I very slowly and very gently pulled them down and sure enough, was able to remove the mirena. I felt pressure, no pain. I was surprised, because it was quite painful when I had it inserted.

I am glad to be rid of that little device. Today I feel less anxious and less irritable. I have no more pain in my belly, though it is still swollen. And lo and behold, my bleeding has stopped.

Some may say I just expected my symptoms to vanish after removing it, but for the bleeding to just stop? I still have the body aches, which I am hoping will get better. And I don't want to over analyze. I will see how it goes over the next week and post an update here.

And please, don't remove it yourself based on what I have said here. I'm sure it depends on whether any tissue has grown around it, etc., as to whether or not it will hurt, or if there will be any kind of bleed out, pain, etc. I am just saying it worked for me.

Mirena free and loving it!

ok, i started femcon this past Sunday and i was so excited because it seemed like a really good pill. the first day i felt fine.. second day i was fine but then i had really bad nausea that night (i have acid reflux so this is normal) so i tried to go to sleep but it kept me up. i ran to the bathroom and spit up.. then the next night i did the same thing. i woke up nauseated that next day and had a little sickness but went to school and did not eat anything.. as i sat there i had chills. i started running a fever. and i just wasn't in my right mind, i started getting snappy with my friends. then Thursday and Friday morning (about 15 min ago) i woke up and had diarrhea and vomiting bad. it scared me and my boyfriend so bad he took me to walmart at 12 Thursday night to get a pregnancy test! i don't know when this is going to end but im over it.. i want to stop taking it but i recently found out i have endometriosis and that is why my gyn put me on this pill.. his office is closed until Monday. ugh. should this be happening after just 5 days?

I am experiencing persistent nausea - similar to being pregnant (which I am not!). My Dr. wants me to use Clindess once a week for 3 months (!!!) as we have been unsuccessful in treating the BV with anything else but I seriously cannot take it. I cannot function with nausea like this for the next 3 months!!!

Took my first dose on Wednesday 11/12/08, and felt amazing. I could not believe how much better I felt when I got up Thursday morning. Took my second dose around lunch time, and noticed that by Thursday night I wasn't feeling too well. Had a hard time sleeping Thursday night as my legs were bothering me. Called the Dr. this morning, as I felt like I might be having some side effects. Wants to see me tomorrow to make sure I'm not having tendon problems. Legs feel weird...just a rubbery feeling, and some mild pain. Makes me feel like I have to move them. Also, felt jittery upon waking this morning. Can't sleep...wake up at 4:30am - 5:30am and can not get back to sleep. I just want to get well, and they give me a medicine that should not be prescribed unless other antibiotics have not worked, and then be supervised the entire time on the medicine. I am so mad, I can't see straight! Now I have to waste more time, going back to the Dr. (not my usual Dr. BTW...I had to go to a "walk in" clinic because I couldn't get into see my normal Dr. soon enough), so that he can tell me my legs are fine, and write me another stupid presciption! I've been dealing with trying to get some meds for almost a week now! CRAZY! Not to mention this crap is really expensive! $60 for 10 stinkin' pills. Would of been $160 if I didn't have insurance. That's a lot of money down the drain! Guess I'm glad I never took my 3rd dose of this stuff, or I might of done some serious damage! DO NOT TAKE THIS...IT'S NOT WORTH THE RISK!!!!!!!!

I am about 8 weeks pregnant and was prescribed Zofran by my ob/gyn for severe nausea. I bragged on the drug after the 1st dose because I felt wonderful. I was prescribed every 8 hours as needed. The first pill I took on a Tuesday night, the second on Thursday night when I developed severe motion sickness, the third on Friday (by then I could not stand to move around). By Monday of the next week I felt as if I was going to explode. I was extremely miserable. I realized that I felt worse after the Zofran because of severe constipation. I felt as if everything I had eaten for the last week was just sitting in my stomach. I had nausea, dizziness, headaches, indigestion w/reflux, excessive gas and bloating, and a horrible taste in my mouth. I stopped taking the Zofran and used an enema and prune juice to clear my system. Some how, compare to how the Zofran made me feel the nausea doesn't seem so bad!

Update # 2: Hi ladies, Tomorrow officially marks 1 week since i got off Loestrin. I feel soooo much better emotionally, the depression has gone away. I am however bleeding and it's not my period since i had my period 2 weeks ago. Last Thursday night i did not take the pill, when i woke up Saturday morning i was bleeding like crazy and i have been ever since. I hear its normal since my body is going through change and trying to get the hormones out of my body. I am also experiencing some breakouts on my back, chest and face which is rare for me. But i don't care as long as im no longer under high depression. I know ill be back to normal in a few weeks.
Ladies, for those of you who just began the pill loestrin and keep commenting how you have no side effects, please just be aware of any changes in the next few months.. from what ive read and ive searched the net like crazy... the depression occurs in the 3 - 5th month of the pill pack.
Good luck to all. i'll post more updates in the next coming weeks.

;)

Hi All,
I got my Mirena removed 3 days ago. I felt less foggy and panic attacks seem to be much better. Also not as many sudden sharp pains from nowhere. I did start bleeding Thursday night. the belding is getting slightly heavier and I am now passing some clots. I am not feeling all that great today, but all in all extremely happier. I am trying to not do too much to make the bleeding worse. I am about to start taking some Evening Primrose oil along with the multi vitamin I already take. Hopefully that will make the crash easier. Good Luck to all.

I am Cody Millers mom ,the boy who died from Suicide while on Singulair for 17 days, I just wanted to say one thing to all of you that take the time to post.GO ONE STEP FURTHER CONTACT THE FDA and report to medwatch .The investigation needs evidence like your stories to help make informed decisions about this drug.The poorly orchestrated disclosing campaign that Merck had supposedly set out to accomplish in 2007, has obviously not reached the mass majority of people using this drug .Seeing now how many people did not make the connection to these HIDDEN AND DANGEROUS SIDE EFFECTS.Our child's pharmacy sheet that came with the medicine ,showed none of the updated side effects.They were added in April 2007,I filled the prescription in July 2007.Nothing had been disclosed until we put forth this effort to get the FDA's attention ,by asking the Senate and Congress to look into this matter.Go to your doctor and insist that they report YOUR SIDE EFFECTS to the company and the FDA.It is of the utmost importance.,Kate and Dave M.

I was excited to get going on Lantus. A lady @ dinner one night said she was doing great on it and I was ready. Metformin gave me legs cramps. I gained weight on Prandin. Actos was awful. So I was ready because I needed to get those morning sugars down -- really I need a new job where I'm not at extreme anxiety to go to! My first shot at Lantus I got excruciating headaches. I hadn't had a headache in a long time. So I stopped and I got a headache the next day -- a lot of colds and flus around -- but then they stopped. I ended up waiting longer than I had planned to get back on Lantus and I was in good shape. When I offer up prayers for my nephews in the morning I offer up whatver pains I have. Two weeks ago, I went to offer up my pains -- and I had none. I restarted Lantus that Monday. I got a headache but got rid of it with some advil, coca-cola and head rolls and continued on pretty good, without pains, and with good morning blood sugars. Then I got really upset about something that Thursday night. I didn't take Lantus but cried all night and all day. I took Lantus on Friday night. Saturday I went shopping, did a bunch of errands and just before dinner I started getting a backache and then my IBS really kicked in and completely froze up on my left side giving me the worst cramp I had had in ages! I finally did a yoga move and it subsided but I was wiped from the pain. I missed Mass the next day and walked around in these little shoes all day. Then on Monday @ work, my foot cramped, left foot, like it hasn't in a long time. And I still can't make it better even with stretching and icing and etc. Passing bowel movements has been very difficult. I've had blurry vision. So, from how I feel from "no pain at all" two weeks ago to barely being able to move today, I'm stopping the lantus and I would like to "fire" my doctor. Don't they do their homework? I'm really quite upset about her not doing her homework and possibly pushing this "new lantus" or whatever or however old it is. I have read it hasn't been thoroughly tested -- is that still true? OH,and as I am typing going, I better stop because my hands and arms hurt, those are other symptoms as well, my hands hurt, my wrist hurts, and I have a big knot in the left shoulder blade which won't go away. Many of these side effect / symptoms seem to mimic fibromyalgia to me. I asked my doctor but of course she didn't know. So I think Lantus seems to bring on the fibromyalgia symptoms and I had those all under control. I'm going to San Fran in a couple of weeks and this better be all cleared up because I have to go alone.

I am at the end of my first pack of pills, YAZ.

I have a condition called Chiari and I also suffer from hormonal migraines. I started getting migraines on Thursday before I was to start my period on Sunday.

The difference is, not only did I get my typical migraines, I also became extremely nauseous. I was violently ill on Thursday night after taking my migraine pills (a common, weekly occurrence). I made it to work on Friday but ended up going straight home at 5pm.

I spent the entire weekend on my couch, with a cold wet washcloth on my face. I used a spray bottle to wet my hair to keep my head cool. The nausea never went away until I actually started Sunday afternoon.

I have had migraines for several years now and just recently found out that the med I was taking at each episode was really for those that have migraines a couple of times a year - I have them a couple of times a month. I was prescribed 50mg of Topamax, two times a day. I took both doses on a Thursday and could not go to work on Friday. By Thursday night I was lightheaded...by Friday morning I couldn't keep my eyes open, my brain couldn't seem to tell my fingers how to type, I couldn't come up with what I wanted to say, I tried to read in bed and couldn't even concentrate on what the book was saying. Normal events (taking my 2yo to the restroom, walking into a restaurant) were exhausting. I'm going back to the doctor tomorrow to discuss all that occurred. After reading all the side effects online, I would honestly rather deal with the migraines. At least I know they will go away. With the Topamax I felt completely out of control of my body...never a good feeling.

night sweats, hot flash, panic feeling, fast heart rate, headache. AND THAT WAS IN ONE DAY! Felt spacey and out of this world. No joke. It started out good then it was like whamo! I took it on Thursday and Thursday night I was in the ER having an EKG done and blood tests done. Even in the hospital, laying in the bed, I had stomach pains, burning in my stomach and my heart started jumping. No heart issues, everything fine. I got severe thirst and anxious. Doc said it was reflux.. Mmmhuh. I only take Synthroid for my thyroid disorder and Prevacid for reflux. (And I don't take it every day) That is it. Friday, woke up feeling like I was drugged, flu like symptoms. Friday was little better, still kind of out of it, like I was coming off a high, kind of down. That night, around 5, I woke up with the heart palpitations and the anxiety and I just had to tell myself to calm down and I went back to bed. Today, my tongue feels funny, dry. And I only took one. I turned the meds back in..... If one day side effects are like that, I am not taking anymore. It is about trust in God!!!

ANOTHER UPDATE:
Hi again, I posted on the 12th and the 15th I was on Yas for a week, noticed a bad change of moods etc.
well here's the time line....
I got my period on Saturday Aug. 4th and started the pill on the 5th. I stopped taking it the 13th or 14th So I was on it for 8-9 days. Well I am spotting heavily and have major cramps which all started the 17th. And while reading the new posts and seeing how people are complaining about migraines I REALIZE ME TOO! I got a migrane on Thursday night the 16th at work. At first I thought it was due to lack of sleep, work or having had taken a late lunch.... fine I go home go to bed. Wake up early still had the migrane but went back to sleep since I didn't have to be at work until late. Headache was gone when I woke up again. But I've been feeling a little discomfort in my head very slight. I's like a ball was rolling around in there and any sudden movement would hurt a little as if the ball bounced against the walls. Anyway today the migraine came back full force same place. Right side of my head like a pin has been inserted from the back to the middle of my right eyebrow. Has anyone been feeling like this? And I am spotting and have very very bad cramps. I dont know whats going on if it's me having a bad week or if it has anything to do with this damn pill. Anyway thats it, sorry if I'm rambling a bit I am having a very hard time trying to express myself with my head pounding.

This was the worst experience! I started taking Doxy to rid myself of infection that might be caused due to a vaginal procedure. I started taking the med on Monday afternoon, by Thursday night my legs and arms were on fire it seemed. The tingly feeling you are talking about. I completely lost my appetite. I was tired, weak, lightheaded, nauseated. Here it is five days after I have stopped the med and I still feel the burning, tingly skin. Also, I had muscle pain that caused my skin to be sore to even touch. I cringed at the thought of someone touching me for two days. NEVER AGAIN will I take this. I mean, after all, it's strong enough to be used for ANTHRAX, how strong does that have to be?

Okay, I recently made a post on July 26th about how I loved Yasmin and have not had a problem with it. I would now like to revoke that post. Since I wrote that I have been feeling totally crazy! I snap at my 2 year old son, my fiance and my coworkers. That is not me! I do not do things like that. I'm usually a very happy person and very strong emotionally. Lately the most stupid stuff has me crying my eyes out. I seem to pick fights with my fiance, which I don't do. We never fight. And it was only last night that I sat down with him and told him that I feel like I'm going insane. We thought about it and the only thing that has really changed in the past 6 months is the fact that I started taking Yasmin. We discussed it and I have decided to stop taking this BCP for at least a month to see what happens with my mood. I'm hoping it works. If anyone has any suggestions about how to do this smoothly, please let me know. And good luck to you all!

i'm glad i found this site.

i went on nuvaring on sunday of this past weekend. i started feeling a bit not like myself on tuesday. by wednesday i had extreme sensitivity to smells, very decreased interest in sex, and severe irritability. i also was becoming constipated, and my abdomen felt strange, somewhat crampy.

has anyone experienced significant side effects this quickly? i know i'm not imagining these things, and i tend to be very sensitive to medications of all kinds, so it makes sense.

my doctor said that it can take about three months for your body to adjust to the ring, so i had been planning to give it a chance for as long as i could. by thursday night --after being annoyed by feeling it inside me all day too-- i felt so emotionally unstable, tired and out of control that i yanked that stupid thing out.

i'm still very emotional, sad and tired - in fact, i think it could be classified as depression. i've dealt with depression in the past and worked too hard for emotional stability to deal with that as a side effect. i'm hoping the depression subsides soon - it's now saturday and my boyfriend and i are on the verge of breaking up because i suddenly started feeling so awful and confused this week.

i was on an ortho tri pill in the late 80s (when the doses were pretty high). i was young so i don't think i realized how it was affecting me - i gained a lot of weight and was pretty numb emotionally. i went off by mistake one summer and started feeling much better. i didn't think i'd ever try hormonal b. control again because of that bad experience, but i heard that the lower doses have milder side effects. well, not for me apparently - this has been just horrible! i hope i feel more stable and rational soon.

My daughter is 10 and was put on this drug for allergies and to be taken once a night at bedtime. She has been acting very strange and withdrawn for the last month or so and then this past Thursday night, she started hollering for me and her right arm was shaking uncontrollably and she was very startled and disoriented. She could not catch her breath, she felt faint and sick. After putting my daughter thru IVS, and MRI of the brain and a EEG of the brain waves. A neorologist diagnosed my daughter with partial seizure and said she definitely had a seizure. I found this out on Friday night after lengthy tests and then thrown to me medicine for seizures that my daughter may have to take the rest of her life. I can not help but think this is caused from Singulair and reading their side effects... If you have had any of these symptoms please let me know so we can together share this and find out more. I wonder if there is a lawsuit pending this ? I will be checking into this.
