Toast symptoms and conditions

I have been on NuvaRing for over 3 years now. When I first went on birth control I was using the ortho evra patch however, I was suffering from side effects such as nausea, always feeling sick and tired. I eat a lot and everything but while using the patch I felt TERRIBLE eating the blandest toast. I am not a heavy drinker but even one cocktail would cause me to be extremely sick. I switched to NuvaRing and since then I was back to my normal self. Not only that but while on the NuvaRing my period is like CLOCKWORK, I know exactly when I am getting my period. I did not experience any breakthrough bleeding and my periods are extremely light. Overall the switch to NuvaRing was so worth it.

I have been on Topamax 75mg at night for three months now and is weaning down to get OFF. I have had stomach pains for the past month and I have to force myself to eat...toast. I have not lost a pound. My Dr.'s put me on it for nerve pain, which finally did help after 2 1/2 months into the drug but....the side effects are not worth it. I can't think, let alone play scrabble with my friends (and I was the best). I'm light headed and sleepy. Be careful when they say the drug will help one thing but cause a list of other side effects.

i TOOK AVELOX FOR THE FIRST TIME YESTERDAY FOR A BRONCHIAL PNEUMONIA THAT JUST WOULDN'T GO AWAY AFTER A MONTH. MY DR GAVE ME SAMPLES FOR 7 DAYS & SENT ME OFF ON MY VERY WAY. I TOOK THE FIRST & ONLY PILL AT AROUND 10AM AFTER HAVING A PIECE OF TOAST AND A CUP OF COFFEE. AT AROUND 10:30 I BEGAN GETTING EXTREMELY DIZZY, I FELT MY LEFT ARM TINGLING & GETTING NUMB, MY FACE TINGLING & NUMB, MY CHEST BECOMING TIGHT & FELT THIS EXTREME HEAT COMING FROM MY BODY. I FELT AS THOUGH THAT I WAS GOING TO DIE.LUCKILY I TAKE CLONAZEPAM WHICH IS AN ANXIETY MEDICATION, IF IT WASN'T FOR THAT, I SWEAR I WOULD HAVE GONE OUT ON A STRETCHER. IT EASED SOME OF THE ANXIETY BUT NOT ANY OF THE TINGLING OR HEAT I WAS FEELING. I WAS MAKING MISTAKES AT THE REGISTER AND MY HEAD WAS EXTREMELY FOGGY AND FELT AS IF I WAS WATCHING MYSELF DO THINGS! I ENDED UP CALLING MY SISTER TO COME INTO THE STORE & COVER FOR ME SO I COULD LEAVE & IMMEDIATELY CALLED MY DR WHO TOLD ME TO STOP IT. I COULD NOT BELIEVE THAT ONE DOSE COULD DO THAT. EVEN TODAY, I STILL FEEL WEAK, MY FACE EVEN SWELLED OVER NIGHT, AND MY ARM IS STILL TINGLY & EVERY SO OFTEN I GET A PAIN IN MY CHEST. THE DR PRESCRIBED ME ZITHROMAX BUT I AM WAITING TO TAKE IT AFTER THAT WHOLE FIASCO WITH AVELOX. ID LOVE TO SUE THIS COMPANY'S PANTS OFF!! HOPEFULLY THESE EFFECTS WILL GO AWAY & NOT STAY WITH ME!!

I have taken 4 Femcon pills. I only eat homemade salads. I ate one at 6pm. At 4am the next morning, I began vomiting for 4 hours straight. Toast, crackers, pepto - nothing helped. Yesterday, I couldn't even eat anything. Today, I couldn't even push down 3 bites of salad. After FOUR days only, I cannot fit into the jeans I have been wearing since 9th grade. I am 22 and my hips are the size of kansas. My husband has noticed larger breasts, but I can't tell. I am very very moody, my headaches have been terrible! I take 2 Excedrin migraine every 4 hours but no relief. It's Christmas time so doctors are closed, but I will not take anymore. Fortunately I got samples. Who hs left femcon for something else and found a better product? There was no discussion between doctor and I about what pill would be best. I just told her I can't swallow pills and she gave me this. I just got married and this is my first BC pill. I do not like condoms. Someone please recommend something good!!

My doctor decided to switch my medication from Actos (15mg. daily) to Januvia (50 mg. daily) to try to get better blood sugar levels (120-130 mornings). Took Januvia for about three weeks. After two weeks, started experiencing sleep disturbance (waking every few hours), chest pain, digestive distress (could barely eat toast and eggs), anxiety, and flu-like symptoms (muscle aches, headache) which I thought was my fibromyalgia flaring. Went online yesterday and found this website which described many of my symptoms. Never associated them with Januvia. Did not take medication yesterday and feel 95% better today. I will not take this medication again. Also, Januvia did not lower my blood sugars. In fact, morning readings were higher (140-165).

I took my Levaquin tablet at 5:30am, I decided to eat some fruit (pineapple slices) around 8:00, my mouth began to burn and blister. I began drinking more water to stop the burning. Next day the same thing happened when I ate a piece of toast with jelly.

Ok....I just took this pill 100mg this morning with a cup of coffee and sure enough, 25-30 min later....I got dizzy and extremely nauseated!! I even ate a slice of toast to try to calm my stomach, but nope, still felt sick and I chucked it all up!! Now last night around 9:30 and after dinner I took my first pill and felt absolutely fine?? Im still feeling a little weird right now so not sure if Im gonna continue or not??

Ladies! I think it is wonderful that we are sharing our experiences here and helping one another. I felt it is necessary I share my experience as well. Thank You to all you ladies who have posted. You have helped me.

Got Aviene from my pharmacist saying 'it's same as Alesse, it's cheaper and the drug company covers this versus Alesse.' How dumb of me not to research this despite the fact this came without a box and instructions.Where is this made? Read up on it etc... things one would do BEFORE trying something. I did not do this and this has cost me.

I noticed changes as you all say you did as well. I have been taking the pill for 3 months. I work out as much as I can so about at least 3 times a week, I had a energy loss, I felt in an unexplainable way, just tired and irritated by the day. No, this is not normal for me. I got a great deal on a scale and stood on it and couldn't believe a 20 pound weight gain. This was not exactly a surprise since my clothes don't fit well and I am very uncomfortable. However, this still didn't make sense b/c I have breakfast and it's not junk, toast coffee or eggs with it or serial. For the last 3 months I made healthy lunches, I cooked ahead so took fish, chicken, rice, whole wheat sandwiches, orange juice, water, milk to work. No junk, no pop, no over eating. Had fruits and veggies. I was glad I was keeping up with this but to gain weight from it? I have a full time and a part time job keeping me busy and this life style, what I did for the last 3 months always included weight LOSS not GAIN. I am pretty pissed about this. (Of course, I am on Aviane, we are all pissed off, haha but not really haha right?) I have major issues with my face, considering I am using the same wash... no change...Anyway.. you're all seeing something doesn't' make sense. I have actually had bloating. Major bloating. 3 weeks. Never had this before. I took over the counter aid, that did help. I am 30 I never took over the counter aid.. let's not mention what I took but it helped.

Listen everyone, get off this pill. I will never take this pill again. I have 4 left this month and forget it I'd rather get my period tonight and anticipate change to occur.

On my way home, as usual of late, I tried to figure out WHAT is wrong with me. In conversation with a cooworker I mentioned the 20 pound weight gain and all and she said 'so much in such little time?' I was thinking about it on my drive home... I am at 2 new jobs and have stress but... to gain this much... and it dawned on me. I CHANGED MY B.C. It HAS TO HAVE something to do with it. I came home and goodled. You can't find anything on Aviane but negative comments. You go on Alesse... oh! a company website at least shows up.

Thank you Ladies... I believe I am having the same reaction as all of you did and I do sincerely Thank everyone for taking time out to post. You have helped me and I do think this B.C. is the reason for my current state.

I'll post in a week or two and then after a month to provide an update.

Take care Ladies!

I have been in surgical menopause for 3 weeks now. I was put on Premarin .6 mg 2 weeks ago. For those last 2 weeks, I have been so constantly nauseous, occasionally vomiting. I'm lucky to eat 2 pieces of toast & a cup of tea each day! Still having hot flashes, not as soaking wet as before but still pretty uncomfortable.
Does anyone have similar issues?

I have only been on this pill for a week and the side effects have begun to drive me crazy and I mean that literally!! On my way to work this morning I had a panic attack, I've never had anything like that before. I started to cry while eating breakfast and then in return I just became angry. My poor boyfriend has had to deal with me as well.... I'll be so nice to him and then 20 minutes later I'm completely angry about life and him and everything he does! He could do the littlest thing and I'm so upset. My doctor switched me to this from orthotricylin because I have really bad ovarian cysts and she was hoping this would help...obviously not! I went to the health center at work and talked to them about it, and said that there was no way this could be related to Yaz...because Yaz is supposed to be the latest and greatest thing and make it so you have no mood swings...that is completely wrong. I also never had problems with nausea, now every morning it takes me 3 hours to not feel nauseous and to be able to even eat just a piece of toast.
I have been trying to get ahold of my doctor to see if I can stop taking the pill now because I do not think I can go through 2 more weeks of this or I believe I will be single and crazy!
Please if you have stopped taking this pill, how long did it take you to be a normal woman again?

I took Yaz for a month and a half and ended up with gallbladder disease! Which there is no cure for and needed surgery to have it removed. This seems to be a risk with all oral contraceptives but I've taken other brands years ago for long periods of time and this never happened. My symptoms were severe pain (lasting several hours) after eating ANY food containing fat. I lived on toast and soup for over 2 months. This drug is evil.

I forgot to add another important problem that I was having on Advair and that was elevated blood pressure.

I've had high BP for years, but always controllable. For the last year or two, my internist has tried six (6) different BP meds and we still cannot get my BP under 155/85.

Today, after being off the Advair, my BP was 139/78 !! This reading was with only being on 1/2 dose of a single med (Cozaar).

I think that calls for a toast ! (yea, I wish! haha)

hi,
i have been on 100 mgs twice daily for bulls eye rash. i am awaiting initial lab results.
anyhow in the morning or whenever my stomach is empty.(told to take on empty stomach via enclosed pamphlet courtesy of pharmacy) The nausea takes over i try to get a piece of toast down it is agonizing! then when the nausea calms down, i them have burping problems the rest of the day also having slight boughs of dizziness. i want to quit after 9 days. i am really not eating because of the discomfort. these are my synopsis of issues with this med.

I took one capsule of this medication at 2:00pm on 12/12/07 and about twenty minutes after taking this medication I began to feel nauseous, than I went and ate something about one hour later just a piece of toast. About ten minutes of eating I began to throw up and started having a headache, so I just kept going not really thinking about it, because the side effect do say headache may occur so I continue my day, about 1 hour and 30 minutes after regurgitating my head was hurting so severely that my eyes was watering and pulse could be heard through my ears, like a drum beating. I then became dizzy and things seemed to get blurred so I laid down and about 10 minutes in laying down my mouth began to fill with thick mucus almost like cotton in my mouth, began to be extremely thirsty so I got up and got water, to throw it back up. I then began to feel my jaw tightening up feeling like I was getting lock jaw. I then called my doctor office and talked to a triage nurse who then called a doctor and called me back and told me not to take any more of the medication and to take 50mg of Beneadryl because of a allergic reaction to the medication, but I am also allergic to PCN and ASA so she said it is rare for people to have an allergic reaction to this medication. Now my symptoms was not over that night I could not sleep, I also had bad dreams, severe night sweats, and nauseous that morning. I started having lower abdominal cramps, and still having problems sleeping, and sometimes I feel like crying and for no reason. Today is 12/20/07 and I still am having severe abdominal cramps, still nauseous in the mornings, no headaches or cotton mouth but the stomach cramps have not yet left and I only took one capsule, today makes a week, tomorrow is my doctor apt. hopefully I can get something to help me out but this is my story about this mess up drug.

I have Been on ToPamax for 2 months now i am have trouble controling my blood sugar never had this problem before topamax , just wondering if any one else has had this problem also after takeing topamax

58 years old male with atrial fibrillation. 2 years taking 7mg of warfarin and several months ago began getting an itchy purplish rash on my lower legs. Very annoying and I often scratch my skin until bloody. Seems to be getting worse.... wife says it's better than a stroke.... I guess so, maybe.

I am 52 years old. Omnicef was prescribed to me for an ear and sinus infection. I took the medication for five of the ten days prescribed. Praise God, I did not take the remaining five days. Otherwise, I believe I would be in the hospital! I missed three days of work due to non-stop diarrhea, fever, stomach cramps and rumbling, muscle and joint pain. I cannot begin to describe the pain this medication causes. It was been 17 days since my first dose of this horrific drug and I am still having stomach issues. PLEASE THINK TWICE BEFORE YOU TAKE THIS DRUG! I WILL NEVER TAKE IT AGAIN.

I started taking simvastatin about 3.5 weeks ago, I've not had a decent nights sleep since. My entire life I've been a really deep sleeper, fire alarms have failed to wake me up in the past (don't worry, it was only burning toast in a student house). Yet since I started on 10mg to address a cholesterol level of 6.7, I've been waking up 5-6 times a night. The result is that I wake up in the morning still tired.
My Dr. has suggested that I try taking the pills in the morning rather than at night, failing that he will try reducing the dosage, but isn't the smallest dose 10mg ??

i GOT THAT BADANXIETY IN MY ARMS LAST NIGHT AND MY HEART BEATING FAST IT WAS WEIRD i MEAN i HAVE THE ARM ANXIETY ALMOST EVERYDAY but I hadnt had the heart beating.

omg I had the worst heartburn ever in my life last night I ate some fried chicken and tomatoes and toast and man it was bad I had slept the last three nights and than last night couldnt

I just wish i could figure out what is causing the anxiety if my hormones are low but what they were a year ago than what is spawning this anxiety?? Is it the checmicals fromthe pill is it because I have been upset over this illness for weeks what is causing the anxiety I want it to stop

hi foggyhead,
i always get nausea a couple of days before my period, the only thing i can compare it to is morning sickness,that is exactly how it felt when i was pregnant with my 2 daughters,i found it a bit alarming at first as i thought on no,don't say i've fallen pregnant on top of everything else! i have been off yasmin for coming on 9 months now and have had the sickness pretty much every period for the last 7 months. i am not sure if it is to do with our progesterone levels being out of whack,when you are pregnant the progesterone levels rise to keep the pregnancy and can cause some women to have nausea,i wonder if it this same mechanism that causes some women to have pre/post menstrual sickness???? like everything else to do with yasmin it is a mystery but it is not harmful just annoying.try some ginger in warm water or a peice of toast.that always helps me. hope you start to feel better soon,i think the length of time you suffer the side effects depends partly on how long you were on yasmin and also how badly it depleted your natural hormones and also how you care for yourself after stopping taking yasmin. i was on it for 1.5 years and was in a pretty bad hormonal state when i started taking yasmin as i had just finished breast feeding my daughter after a year and had not had a period when i was put on yasmin. i don't expect my recovery to be overnight but i know it will happen,have faith in your body,it may take it a while to repair the upset the yasmin caused but it will get there eventually.

twogirlsmom,
today i had just my family for my little guys birthday. i survived, i feel bad i could not have the party i had planned because i am a party person. this is so unlike me. i am on day 4 of paxil. today i actually took a long walk, last week i could not make it around the block or for that matter off the couch. my intense anxiety seems to hit me at 3:00 every day, i think its because my husband goes to work at that time. my stomach was very upset today i think its the paxil. i feel like we live similar lives i too have a job i teach physical education im the life of my class. i have learning to just take it one day at a time and accept the day for what it is. WE ARE GOING TO GET BETTER hey i just ate two pieces of toast when i could not stand the thought of food earlier! now thats progress! screw yasmin!

I have been on Ambien for several months & it has caused
me to " sleep walk " . I did about everything in the kitchen.
I opened cans of food , cooked on the stove , made toast &
did most things you do in a kitchen. What concerns me, is it easier to start fires while sleep walking ?
The best advice is to ' cold turkey ' off of ambien. I'm feeling much better since kicking my nemosis. Amen!
I,m glad Dr's are realizing that another pill & more pill taking is a remedy for their patients.

I've been taking Doxycycline for the past week and for the first few days I experienced severe nausea and vomiting. What works for me is taking the pill with a glass of milk as well as something to eat (like a piece of toast or a scone). My doctor said that doing this wouldn't alter the effectiveness of Doxycycline. Good Luck!

Dreadful stomach pains, chest pains, rib soreness and feeling that, after one piece of toast I have eaten a six course meal.
