Was previously on Micardis HCT; dr. switched to generic Lisinopril HCTZ 12.5 in 11/07 when I went on Medicare & was concerned about cost of Micardis. Since that time I've put on 10 lbs. and had increased pain/muscle fatigue and general lethargy. Unusual, as I've exercised 4-5 days per wk. (incl. aerobics/strength trng/flexibility.) for 20+ yrs. Also, frequently, have problems swallowing pills due to feeling of obstruction in esaphogus tube. In July '08 I awakened to slight numbness/tingling in lips and my lips then proceeded to the swell to the point of pain and my lips (in profile) protruded further than my nose. I received steroid injection and prescription for steroid pack. Diagnosis was possible allergic reaction to new cosmetic product. Today (9/3/08) I woke up with the same symptoms and again had to go to the dr.for a steroid injection & meds. Diagnosis this time (different dr.) was possible side effects of "blood pressure meds." Has anyone else experienced edema of the lips, wt. gain, and problems swallowing?

I am on Lamictal 75mg (down from 150) Lexapro 10mg (down from 20) and Clonazapam (3mg daily) - Here are my side effects
easy bruising, unusual eye movements when my eyes are closed, fatigue, loss of appetite, tingling in lips and all throughout body, daily headaches, grinding teeth - my teeth hurt so bad in the mornings, Loss of memory, shortness of breath.
This all scares me greatly - I am under a phychiatrist only doing NO blood work and he just keeps moving my meds up and down! I am so frustrated and afraid (after doing research and my family medical history) that the problems I was having before going to this dr. is due to a thyroid disorder.
anyone else feeling any of these symptoms?

I had my Mirena placed in the first of may, it was very very very painful. The following months I had spotting and bleeding EVERY day, I had no energy what so ever. Some days I even felt pregnant, and not to mention my face, I looked like a teenager again, horrible acne!
Then I started having this tingling and stinging sensation in my hands and feet, I googled it and all I could find was MS(multiple sclerosis)! In shock I did a search in English(I'm from Norway) and found that I was NOT the only one having MS symptoms with the Mirena! I had the Mirena removed this week, but I still have the symptoms, but I guess it takes a little time for the hormones to leave the body completely!! My boyfriend said to me "let`s hope you didn't get MS from the Mirena".. And I am of course terrified... I have an appointment with the doctor at the end of the week!
I just don't think that this is a coincident!
