Time now symptoms and conditions

I am 29 years old and I have been using NR for almost a year already. although I got through mood swings all the time, now that I think back over the last year or so, I have been acting especially crazy. I am never calm, irritated by everything and everyone, break up with my boyfriend at least 1ce a week, cry a few times a week. Only after reading these posts did I start realizing that maybe its due to NR? I started taking Valerian pills to calm me down, but I became emotionless. I cant be happy for anyone, want to be alone, and not go out. I thought this was all due to stress at work, but now I'm beginning to think otherwise. I took out the ring for good about 3 weeks ago and as soon as few days later have noticed that my breasts are VERY tender, so tender that it hurts to wear a bra. My nipples are HUGE and hurt so bad, this got me scared -thinking that I may be pregnant, but I have been very careful after taking out the ring. Has anyone else noticed this after removing the ring for good?

I'm calling the pediatrician in the morning!! My soon to be 6 year old son was diagnosed with RSV, and has been taking Singulair for "asthma" since he was 4. He has become more aggressive in the past 6 months, and has been complaining of leg pains for some time now. Headaches and the nausea episodes were too far apart for me to consider them a side affect. He has constant skin rashes, and itches them until they bleed. The ex calls the rash "exema" and treats it with cream. I tried to have the medication changed about 6 months ago, but my exes insurance will not cover a different "tier" of medication and the doctor said it worked best. Boy are they going to get an earful from me. I've also noticed that when I forget to give him the Singulair for a couple of days, the rashes and itching seem to clear up faster. Thanks for all the posts. He will not be taking it while with me anymore.

Ive been on Seroquel for quite some time now, I asked my doctor too get me off. I am also on Lithium and Welbutrin. I have lost 45 pounds. Which isnt a horrible thing but with out Seroquel I am awake all the time. I stay up for days. After day three i break down and take a Seroquel and wake up with the worse body aches ever. It feels like someone beat me up with a metal bat and put me back in bed. If I don't sleep for at least 11 hours I cannot get up and function much less do any daily activities.It also makes my depression worse, on top of my lithium. The bodyaches I cannot do any more.

Boy! It is funny how all of us posting here have all these side effects and the doctors for the most part say nothing or keep an eye on it. I to have symtoms ranging from bad headaches, the tickle in the throat and cough with it, to lower neck across shoulders the pain is intense. I was started out with a 20mg dose and on july 2007. There are differences with me as i have a hard time now getting to sleep. I toss and turn most of the night. It is now mid september and the doctor has never called to ask how i was doing. My blood pressure has not gone down but up. ranging from 174/110 on sept. 9 to 158/104 on sept16 2007. so i am taking myself off this crap and doing something different if only what are for-fathers did most of the time........they lived with it. Any thing has to be better than this.....thanks for all your help!

I am 29 and i have been taking Toprol XL for 3 yrs. now and i was amazed when i seen what everybody had to say about this med. I had been on other meds for Anxiety, Panic Disorder. I was on Paxil CR and also Klonopin. I had gain 70 pds in 5 yrs and thought this is from the Paxil so i decided to come off of that and the Klonopin. Well, I'm still taking the Toprol XL and i am still haveing problems and it's just like alot of the same things i have read from other people on here. I am concerned about this med. And i hope everyone can find something that works great. If any one has any good luck with a different med please post it. I'm looking for a different way to deal with the rapid heart rate without all the nasty side effects of Toprol.

Sy husband started on Toprol 2 months ago. He is 72 & has had high BP for many years. When the cardiologist thought that he may be having heart problems he immediately changed him from Micardis, which was working fine, to Toprol 25mg. At first it seemed to help his high BP remain more stable, but now he is having other problems. His heart rate is usually in the 50's, he's very tired all the time now & has much more trouble remembering things than before. He's also begun having very vivid nightmares. Three days ago he started having diarrhea too. Also for the first time in 30 years we were unable to make love. He also loved working in the yard in the summer but now the heat is just too much for him. He directly attributes these effects to the toprol since that's the only new medication he has been prescribed in the last year. After reading other posts on this site he has decided to wean himself off of it & go back to his previous BP medication. Thanks to all of you who have posted because now he feels more secure in his idea that these problems are from the Toprol.

My eyesight has not changed in the last 2 years. I just had an eye exam 3 months ago. However, I suddenly found myself with my eyesight so bad I now have to wear different glasses for different things. I have been on Advair for about a year. I heard a blurb on TV that Advair can affect your eyesight. It certainly has mine. I have a very hard time now with my sight. I am thinking of going to an Attorney as I have documented proof that my eyesight has become worse almost suddenly. Another eye exam confirmed this and I have to get much stronger glasses. I stopped the Advair a month ago hoping my sight would improve but it didn't happen.

I have been on Yasmin for 1 year now. I looks back to when I started and I had terrible insomnia to the point I had to take an additional sleeping tablet in the middle of the night when the first one had worn off. I feel nausea in the morning from time to time. My boobs have increased from a C to a D (sounds great but so has my bum and thighs). I don't have much energy and find it hard to lose weight.
My boobs are sore all the time now - not just around my period. I have awful anxiety attacks. I cant seem to cope as well and get teary and frustrated. I have numbness in my big toes. I'm going off it once my cycle is over. I was taking it for PCOS but I think I can manage the symptoms with exercise and diet.

Where do I begin??? I have been taking Yaz for six months. Migraines! The worst migraines ever, I cannot function for one full day and sometimes more, the pain was so intolerable.

Hives! For the past two months, I keep thinking that I had a food allergy; even my doctor diagnosed it as that. After going to the allergist, I was told that I have developed an allergy to the Yasmin pill. No part of my body has been discriminated with this medication. Hives from the top of my head, in my eyes, right down to the bottom of my feet! This has been the worst experience of my life with this pill.

Fatigue to the extreme! I fall asleep sitting up and never feel rested. Yaz has caused me to go up two cup sizes so far, I went from being a 38C to a 40DD and I can't fit into anything. My boobs are sore a lot.

Weight gain, at least 20 pounds heavier. Nausea; Indigestion; Diarrhea & Constipation; Decreased Sex Drive; and Mood swings; Uncontrollable Rages; Severe body aches; Hot Flashes/Chills; Crying Spells; Blurred Vision; Lack of Concentration; Trouble sleeping; Dizziness; Shaking; Restlessness mainly after 9pm when I should be winding down to go to bed; Terrible night sweats; Never ending cravings for junk food; Inability to cope with stressful situations; Feeling of being inadequate; Can’t concentrate; Gassy; Hate family & partners; Irrational.

I started taking Yasmin 2 and 1\2 weeks ago. The first week I had nausea and vomiting and really tired all the time. Now that I have gotten over that I'm always thirsty I have to be drinking water about every two hours.

(6 yr old boy)Its been 2.5 weeks off the Singulair and the side effects have become less frequent and less intense but are still there. He still has a bit of an explosive temper, still having these shaking fits where he says its like his hands and arms just do what they want. Diarrea, nightmares less frequent. It has been so hard for us to deal with, mainly the erratic movements because they are involuntary though this is only happening for 10 minutes at a time now where it was 2 hours (with arms and legs going and buzzing for those of you who hadn't read my previous post.).

i've been on ambein for5 yrs and i have no side affects it really helped me noe i can sleep and when i ake i feel very refreshed

I started taking Yasmin about 10 days ago. On the first day I was at my computer and noticed that I suddenly couldnt focus on my screen. My vision became blurry. I also felt sharp shooting pains behind my legs.I took it for 7 days. During that time I became extremely tired, lethargic, fatigued, my eyes hurt. I slept for longer hours, and just felt generally drained. This was highly noticeable to me since I go to the gym everyday, and I didn't even have the zeal or energy to do that. My breasts became very sore and sensitive. The shooting pains moved from the back of my legs to random parts of my body. I stopped taking it after the 7th day and noticed an immediate improvement in my energy level the next day. I didnt need as much sleep, my eyes felt much better, not grainy and painful like I had to close them all the time. Now, the 11th day, my breasts are no longer tender, and all the other symptoms are gone. These are just the facts. I personally WILL NEVER take this pill again!!

My mother has been taking this medication for quite some time now, without any explaination. She doesn't have seisures or anything like that, so why would the doctor prescribe such a medicaton? I can tell you since she has been taking this medication she can't keep her eyes open 24/7. She sleeps in her chair all day, then she goes to bed and sleeps all night, not much of a life for anybody! She does this 24/7 and I am not exagerating either! Do I just take her off the medicaton or do we have to ride this out, I just don't know what to do? Talking to the Doctor is like talking to someone with a hole in their head, if you get my drift.
Thanks for your time.

I've been taking 25mg of Toprol twice a day since the middle of February this year. Since then, my joints ache so badly, I'm so tired I can't function, and the nightmares! I thought for sure the Grizzly bear in my dream this morning had me for sure! My blood pressure is a bit lower than usual, but I haven't had the chest pain or noticeable irregular heart rate since I've been taking Toprol.
I guess to get a little, you've got to give a little. sigh.

i have been taking it for back pain for about a year, i notice i sleep really great when i take it,
now for the side effects, i noticed that my lower back really hurt if i tryed to walk, or clean, i was in a great deal of pain, also i had pitting edima in the legs, very bad, , and a rash on the neck, and no energy at all, its been a week now since i quit taking it, the back pain is gone, i can walk around the block now, the rash is going away, my blood pressure is going down, i am happier and not mad all the time now. also have more energy

I've experianced a number of the side effects mentioned in these posts. Mostly the miserable cough and fatigue. My question is joint pain. I've been on Lisinopril about 6 weeks and shortly after beginning I started getting pain in my right hip. Can hardly walk in the morning. Could be coincedence but..........anybody else?

I am 32 years old and I was on Celexa for two years and I loved it. I also lost weight while taking Celexa and my mood swings was good compared to now because my Doctor switched me to Effexor XR. I stay eather mad or sad about something all the time now.

Since I have begun Sinulair, I have noticed improvement of my chronic nasal allergy symptoms. For the first time in YEARS, the congestion is finally lessening. However, I have noticed that I'm hyper all the time now. Where I have had sleep issues in the past, they have only been excacerbated by this medication. Has anyone else noticed this effect? I have tried to research it further, but I don't have access to a Physician's Desk Reference. The web isn't giving me the entire list of known side effects. I have only seen the vomiting, diarrhea or headache listed, but have yet to see something regarding insomnia and hyperactivity.

Hi everyone,
I'm really worried that I haven't gotten my period yet. I am officially 9 days late. Someone please tell me if this is normal. I was on Yasmin for over 3 yrs. and have been off of it for 4 months. I got what I thought was my real period exactly on time for 3 months. I got it on the thurs. and it lasted until the sun. Now I didn't get it. It feels like I should get it at any time now. I have sore breasts, and I am breaking out like a teenager. However they aren't really zits, kinda more like bumps with clear liquid in them.

I'm wondering if I should take a pregnancy test or if this is normal. I have heard of people taking tests and having it read positive due to messed up hormones as well which would really scare me more. I'm kinda freakin out. My boyfriend and I have been using condoms and there weren't any accidents, but I can't figure out why it hasn't come yet. Was the past 3 months just my fake period or what?

Thanks,
Hill

I've been taking Aciphex for a couple of years now. It has taken care of my heartburn very well. However, for some time now I've experienced difficulty breathing when I lie down along with a cold tingling sensation in my feet that at times is almost unbearable. My Doctor can't tell me why. A friend mentioned that she has just received a prescription for aciphex and read that these are some of the soide effects. Can anyone expound on this?

My experience with Prozac has been for a period of 7 months . It took at least a month to feel the effects. It has helped me tremendously I had obsessive compulsive thoughts before and I was diagnosed as clinically depressed. As my therapist once told me people confuse sadness for depression for example "I broke up with my boyfriend I am depressed" This is not so you are sad yes but depressed no. Depression seems to be an overused word and in that case people who think they should be on this drug don't really need to be on it and thats why it has no effect on them at all. Those people need to let time do its work on you.
As for those of us who really do have depression in a very serious way a chemical imbalance yes it does help. And for those of you debating will I gain weight or won't I this should not really be an issue of why you shouldn't take Prozac. Is peace of mind not the best choice. I am very happy with Prozac yes I do have the side effect of less sex drive but I am willing to continue with this path because I feel great emotionally and the Obsessive compulsive thoughts have disappeared. And before I couldn't sleep much with everything running through my head all the time. Now I sleep like a baby.

Im just adding to this column purely because i am a concerned parent, an am taking these notes i read very seriously as my 4yr old child has been taking 4mg Singulair chewable tablets for around 6mnths. I have observed that for some time now she has slowly lost her concentration span an bad behaviour has increased alot, i would like to hear from anyone who could maybe shed a bit more light on the subject for both my daughter an i, as soon i will possibly be taking her off of this medication to just see if there is any change. Good luck to all parents out there who have a similar concern.

I was given it after having a deep boil cut out of my leg. I'm more prone to getting nauseous -- I get sick in the car as a passenger all the time now. Aside from that, no issues, and its done a great job at minimizing the pain I've been experiencing.
