Uncontrolable symptoms and conditions

I found this site looking for any comments regarding life after Mirena. I can't say that I liked having it, but I didn't hate it. I have a friend who loves hers and said it has actually made her moods better. I had my Mirena for 2 years. I could at times feel it (not the stings, but I could actually feel the pressure caused by it), but the only side effect that really bothered me were the mood swings. I had horrible mood swings usually only at PMS time. I was like a crazy uncontrollable shrew. Some of the mood swings were so bad that I worried I might fly off the handle and hit somebody. I knew the mirena was causing my moods and thought about having it removed, but it was so much easier just to leave it in. I had it removed 3 days ago- to have another child, not because of the side effects. My over all mood is so much better. I don't know if it was psychological or what, but I was happier and felt better within 30 minutes. While I will not say that it was a bad form of BC for me- I will say that I won't be getting another one.

I started Yaz about a month and a week ago. Not much after I've started I've had severe anxiety, anger, and depression issues. For no reason at all I've gotten pissed or would cry for hours at a time. It's uncontrollable and it makes me feel like I'm crazy.

Our 4yo son was only on this drug for 6 days. By day 3 l was at my wits end trying to explain his behavior. He was kicking, punching, crying, back chatting, being uncontrollable and could not be reasoned with. His breathing had dramatically improved but OMG at what cost. He would cry at his own behavior, knowing he should not be kicking me, but kicking me anyway. He would sit on my lap and cry, saying l don't love him and everybody hates him, and that he is a naughty, ugly boy.
I sat down at the computer and googled singulair, look what l got. I am horrified that l was not warned that this could happen to my beautiful little boy. I am the one who feels ugly now, for every time l was cross at his behavior in the last week, behavior that l now believe he did not have full control over.

Excessive stretching upon early morning awakening. I wake up in the wee hours of the day and can not get back to sleep. During this time I feel an uncontrollable need to stretch like one does normally in the morning. I must stretch 10-15 times before I have to get up!

I just started taking Yasmin again in March. I had taken it back in November but stopped midway through my second pack because I was experiencing severe anxiety, nausea, fatigue... to the point my social life and grades in school were suffering. I went online and found this site and read how there were a lot of women who experienced bad side effects from this pill too. Recently I decided that it was in my best interest to take birth control again and because I did have added stress in my life during the time I took Yasmin before I thought maybe I would be okay this time. I WAS SOOO WRONG. I haven't even been on Yasmin again for a month and my life as I knew it has been turned upside down. In less than a week of starting it I started to have severe chest pains and nausea. I thought I was having a heart attack. I have had panic attacks before and this was nothing like that The tightness and pressure in my chest never has gone away. I've been to three different doctors and have had many tests to figure out whats wrong. They all tell me the same thing that I'm a healthy 22 year old and that if anything I just have inflammation my ribcage. My grades are suffering again because I have missed a lot of class because I feel so awful. Every morning I wake up with the chest pain (that gets worse the more active I am) and nausea. Since all these symptoms have come on my relationship has taken a turn for the worse too. All I want to do is sleep, I don't feel like going out, I get annoyed very easily by everything my boyfriend does so I don't want to be around him. I feel so "out of it" sometimes I get dizzy and feel numb all over. Its so scary (esp. the chest pains) The worse thing is that no one really believes me (i.e. my boyfriend) I never feel good and I'm sure the people around me are tired of me complaining all the time. One more thing... I started my period very early (I still have a week and a half of active pills left) I've never experienced that before... weird. Anyways, I stopped taking Yasmin 2 days ago. I still have all the same symptoms... I really hope they go away soon. I want to get back to my old self and my old life. YASMIN SUCKS!!! I'd rather take the risk of getting pregnant than take Yasmin. At least then I'd have a excuse that ppl would believe for being sick :(

I use the albuterol and ipratropium bromide vials with my nebulizer machine and experience the following......
Uncontrollable muscle spasms in hands and feet, heart races and palpitations,sometimes my throat is sore or even a slight burning sensation in the back of my throat from usage,my tongue burns and I have gotten little white bumps that are sore on it like you get when you have had too much salt,irritability,sleep loss,chills,etc. Works great at keeping my lungs open to breath tho! I read tho, that it can "cause" you to get COPD? Is there any truth to this?

Hello,

My name is Danielle, I am a 27 year old with 2 boys 6yrs and 8 months, I am happily married and have always been quite happy and relaxed until I had the Mirena IUD put in. I had the IUD placed at the end of October with advice from a friend and my ob of 7 years. Big mistake, here is my story, I hope it help someone.

4 Saturdays ago at work I felt pain in my ovaries, I chalked it up to ovulating, Sunday morning I felt a bit better, I got out of the bath on Sunday night and I felt weak, dizzy, like I was going to pass out, my heart was beating so fast, I placed an emergency call into my ob, she basically told me the IUD was not the cause for these symptoms and to relax and try to get rest...(she basically told me it was in my head) Monday morning I was terrible, nausea, anxiety, nervousness, depression, rapid heart rate... I called my ob and demanded an appointment to get the IUD taken out, as I had never felt that way in my life! I was able to get in that afternoon, however when I got there I was seen by a nurse that I have not seen in the office ever, and I have been with them for 7 years, this I thought was odd but I went with it, she brought me into the room and told me there is no chance that the IUD was causing my symptoms, I was very emotional over the situation, she told me to give it a bit longer and she gave me packets of Lexapro a depression/anxiety med. Me like a fool went along with it, I took a Lexapro when I got home at noon or so and at 7:30pm I thought I was having a heart attack, I came down stairs and my husband immediately knew something was wrong, I was crying, my heart felt like it was going to jump out of my chest, my arms and fingers on my left side were numb and I was freezing and could not stop moving! I went to th ER and was treated for an anxiety attack and I had the ER DR take the IUD out, from here I was hit with the infamous "Mirena crash" the next two days I was sick but nothing I could not handle, on Thursday I was so sick I could not move off of the couch, I mean sick, nausea to the point it was hard for me to sip water, I had to have a relative come to watch the kids while my husband brought me to the ER once again, I was treated for dehydration and nausea, during all of this I was still depressed and anxious which made it all the worse, my 3rd and final trip to the ER was this past Sunday the 8th, I was so depressed and sick, I made an emergency call into my family physician this time and he told me it sounded like the anxiety was getting the best of me to take a half of Lexapro to calm myself down and to schedule an appointment with him in the morning, I did and 6 hours or so later I was in the ER again, heart palpitations, anxiety, depressed so bad I hated my self and thought I was going crazy, I felt like I could not take care of my own kids, like a terrible wife, and the list goes on, this attack was so bad my hands formed into fist and would not release, at the ER all of my blood work came back fine, EKG fine, chest x-rays fine??? they gave me Loranzapam which has helped quite a bit. it has been about a week since then and I am beginning to feel better, each day seems to get better, I still have some nervousness(kind of feels the I was just told I had to go in for a major surgery) and some nausea through out the day, but overall I feel better. I do not wish what I and many women have been through on my worst enemy. Please all of you that think you are going crazy you are NOT, and believe me I was bad, I was on the internet every 10 minutes looking different things up about depression, anxiety, everything, it makes you go nuts, please remember that even after you get the IUD out that you may still feel yucky, I did and still do somewhat, you have to give your body time to produce it's own hormones and not synthetic ones from the IUD, keep in mind that some times you will feel like everything is ok and other times you will feel crazy again, it is the nasty remnants of the IUD. Good luck to all of you who are going through this now. God Bless you all. Danielle

I am so glad I found this web site. My son who is 6 just went on Zyrtec about 10 days ago and since then has had major anger issues and a few uncontrolable melt downs. His allergies have been horrible since we moved to AZ but I think the allergies might be more managable than the outburts from the meds he is taking for his allergies. Going to stops the meds immediatly and call the Dr. to see what other options we might have. Thank you for this website. Robin

I got my Mirena put in may 07. it was so painful i was crying on the table while my OB was putting it in. i had NON STOP bleeding till about september then it finally went away. but the past couple of months i have been having SEVERE lower back pain. actually my whole entire back was in pain, and i thought my ob had something to do with it, but when i went to the doc he told me it could DEF be mirena. And mood swings like CRAZY. one minute i was nice and friendly the next i was a huge bitch. so Yesterday i got it removed a little cramping while she was taking out but it only took about 3 minutes no blood bo cramps after. Im SO happy its gone, and i feel like a new woman today. and hopefully ill lose some weight.

Hey, im goin on my 5th month on Yasmin, and i've noticed i cry a lot and get frequent head aches.. is this normal? my thing that is worryin me as i have read from a few other's that there period were shorter, and some were longer.. mine used to be 3 days 4 max.. and now ill have it for 7-8 days,it's scary!! i just havent been myself while on these.. but if i stop ill get sick.. im on it bc i had uncontrolable bleeding so this stopped it.. but it makes me feel eh. im tired a lot and i can say that most likely i had IBS and this made this @ times worse.. i cant eat certain food and i feel sick a lot.. plz tell me has anyone else experienced any of this!!!

Was on Lamictal for 3 months..Didn't think it was helping.Also experiencing shortness of breath,fatigue,irrational,uncontrolable anger and terrible short term memory.So i went off of it cold turkey(like my doc told me to)and symptoms are MUCH worse..BArely can type this message..LOL..I'm going to WEAN myself off it,and NEVER Listen to another QUACK doctor again...What ever happened to a good ol' VALIUM every once in a while..

I started using the NuvaRing a couple months after it first came out. I loved the freedom of not taking a pill evey day and my periods were very light, and lasted only a couple of days. I had used the NuvaRing faithfully up until January of this year when I became separated from my husband and decided that I really didn't neeed to be on birth control since I wasn't having sex. Until I came upon this message board I'd never been aware the NuvaRing had so many side effects that were NOT listed in the medication info. I am a nurse so I realize that there are side effects of medications that sometimes aren't listed, but that's usually because they are very mild and may only be experienced by a few people. Since reading other people's experiences with the NuvaRing, I am now starting to wish the NuvaRing never existed and I am very angry at this drug company for it NOT listing side effects that seem to be very common in users. I too had the annoying, embarassing, heavy discharge which was sometimes a brownish color, and it also had a funny smell to it. I almost felt like I could "smell myself" down there sometimes, even if I was clothed. My breasts were always tender, and my neck, shoulders, and all my joints ached and were stiff all the time, I noticed those symptoms more just after my period ended and I reinserted the ring. Otherwise I was fine and enjoyed a wonderful sex life and was happy.
Then about 2 years ago, I started to have a lack of motivation, uncontrolable mood swings, and I felt nervous and depressed all the time. My moods were horrible! I'd make the biggest deal out of nothing, lash out, and cause a lot of tension and fighting in my home. I felt depressed, wthdrawn, and wanted to not be around people a lot. Everyone annoyed me; EVERYTHING annoyed me! I became a very mean person. The weight gain was a horrible issue. I'd gain 20lbs. in three months easy and it WASN'T because I was sitting around stuffing my face. I had to almost starve myself to lose the weight. I'd finally get sick of eating rice cakes and salad all the time and start to eat normal again...and BAM...the whole weight gain cycle started over again. My weight kept going up and down like a yo-yo! I am a very active person, I like to eat healthy and exercise, and weight control had not been a issue since pregnancy. Sex began to be a chore for me and I hated it. The thought of having sex made me sick. I had a bad self image because of my up and down weight all the time and I would do anything to avoid letting my husband see me naked. I didn't want to be touched. My breasts weren't just tender, they were so annoyingly sensitive that I almost wanted to punch my husband if he touch them because the over sensativity sent a sickening feeling to my stomach. My cervix hurt during sex and the pain made it unbearable if my husband was inside of me too deep. I also experienced spotting after sex, sometimes heavy. I've never experienced those problems before. I also began to experience about 1 1/2 wks before I was to take out the NuvaRing, I'd start to have a heaviness in my chest almost like a panic attack was coming on; this would occur almost daily. Everytime I tried to inhale it was like I couldn't get my breathe in, and the coughing was horrible. I'd also not be able to fall asleep at night or I'd wake up in the middle of the night panicing and crying over stupid things. I used to blame it on the stress I was having in my marriage, but I'm starting to wonder if the NuvaRing was really the cause of the stress in my marriage! My husband would get so mad at me beacause of my moodiness and irritability that he started not wanting to be around me and started not coming home after work so he wouldn't have to deal with me. I became even more depressed and started having suicidal thoughts because I was unable to control my mood swings and didn't know why. Needless to say my husband left me. And since I didn't plan on having sex , I stopped using the ring. With in the next month my moods became stable, I was happier, felt good, and I began to sleep a lot better. I thought it was because my life was beginning to calm down.

Then in April, I'd started seeing someone and once again found the need for birth control, so I started using the NuvaRing again. I started to feel like crap again during the first week I used it. I had no idea why I was feeling this way again, until now. I have discontinued using the NuvaRing this month, not because of the way I was feeling again, but because I found out I'm pregnant. I'm not happy at all either. I don't want anymore children. Thanks NuvaRing! Had I known all this time that it was the ring that was making and had made me in the past so miserable, I would've just gotten a tubal and not wasted my time using such life ruining and ineffective birth control, and maybe I'd still have my husband too. If anyone out there reads this and their doctor has said it is such a wonderful method of birthcontrol...don't believe a word of it. Use something else. Take the advice from me and all the others here who've shared their experiences with you.

I was diagnosed with endo in the spring of 2006. My Dr suggested getting the lupron shots because I had been experiencing horrible pain for over 12 years. I finished my 6 months of the lupron in Oct of 2006. The side affects i experienced were weight gain(about 30lbs), uncontrolable sadness and crying, and mood swings. The side affets were hard to deal with. I was really lucky not to have lost my fiance during the whole thing. I dont know how he could stand being around me, i could barely stand being around myself. Now that i have been off the Lupron for 2 months the pain is back, and I have to make the desicion if i want to go through another 6 months of the lupron shot. I think that the side affects as bad as they were are worth going through to stop the pain that I am in.

Has anyone heard of uncontrolable coughing as a side effect? I heard of this today.

I am on my second pack of yasmin. So far i am not really
satisfied with it because it has been nothing but a
rollercoaster, and uncertainties. I dont even feel like the pill
is working. Maybe thats just my paranoia. My side effects
have been pretty bad. First of all i smoke and i frequently get
major heart pains. (im working on quiting smoking) I have
had a very unusual and uncontrolable smelly vaginal
discharge. Even after months of no sexual intercourse. The
week that i was taking the reminder pills (during menstration)
I literally went psycho. I ended up getting fired from my job
for cursing at a kid, i threatend to move, and all of this for no
reason at all. I did use the ortho evra patch prior to the
yasmin pill and i was way more satisfied with the patch. Oh and to the woman who commented on the questioning her sexuality. I have been a homophobe for my whole life, recently i have become attracted to girls. I think it has a lot
to do with the hormones just making the libido out of control.
some women say that their sex drive has fallen, mine has
skyrocketed, just in the opposite way lol.

I am sorry I every took Lisinopril. The doctor perscribed it because I was getting headaches every day for about 4 months or so. But when I took this drug all of a sudden I developed drainage thinking I developed allergies. Then I got a scrating feeling in my throat that wouldn't go away. The next thing was I would cough after eating, and I would cough so hard to the point I would wet my pants. I talked to a different doctor that told me to read this web site. Sure enough it showed that this was a side effect of Lisinopril. Uncontrolable coughing is a sign that you should not take this drug!

I have been diagnosed with Autoimmune Hapatitis and put on a low dosage of Prednizone. 20mg a day for 2 weeks, 15mg a day for 2 weeks and then 10mg a day for an unspecified asmount of time. I have been on the drug for 2 weeks and have just begun to feel side affects mentioned by others. Primarily night sweats accompanied by uncontrolable shaking, pain in lower joints and pain at the base of the neck. Has anyone else with Autoimmune Hepatitis been put on prednizone and what side affects have been experienced. I am alos on Azathioprine (generic ofr Imuran). Apparently even low doses of prednizonee can produce the symptome others have described.

I have been taking Snythroid for about 18 months. In the past six months, my blood pressure is uncontrolable. I have been on 7 regiments of blood pressure medicine in the past seven months. I have been to the Emergency Room twice in the last two months with tackycardia and irregular heart beat. My fingers and hand feels as though I have carpal tunnel. I started on .25 mg of Synthroid and somehow, whether it was the doctor or the pharmacy, my medication is now 25 mg. I have been to a cardiologist, had a stress test, MRI on my kidneys, holter monitor and they can't find anything wrong with my heart. I switched doctors, hopefully, she can figure out what is wrong with me.

I have a question to all of you. Do you have COUGHING -as a side effect while you are using advair? I have. A dry, uncontrolable cough.
I was trying to stop using it, but after the forth day my breathing became very difficult. Now I try gradually get rid off the advair. I hope, it will work.

My son took risperdal for 3 to 4 months 2mg. twice a day. He has developed facial ticks, ie, squinting of the eyes, batting of the eyes, wrinkled up forehead, and downright ugly facial expressions that are uncontrolable. We have been told by the second opinion doctor that was on-call for his regular doctor that the ticks may be permanent. He is having trouble keeping his eyes open enough to see to drive, he has trouble reading because of the squints. What on earth is this medication doing on the market? He is young, ambitious, hard working, and I think if these facial ticks do not go away he will have to go on disability. He has children to support and am wondering if he will be able to keep his job. People are asking, "why are you squinting"?, why are your eyes shut?, very embarassing to say the least. Does someone who needs this kind of medication need side affects like this. I think not!

While taking Lotrel, I experienced a dry constant uncontrolable cough, both day and night.

4 days ago my doctor perscribed Levaquin for my acute bronchitis. The first night after taking one dose of Levaquin, I was unable to sleep due to uncontrolable twitching of my legs. The next two days (still taking the medication) I felt exhausted, drained, no energy, nervous. My legs felt week.
My eyes were watery and itchy. Last night I woke up in the night and my left eye was very watery and swollen. Also, feeling slightly depressed.
