I just switched to Yasmin 3 days ago after being on Ortho Evra (patch) for over 5 years (since I was 15, due to severe cramps). I had continual spotting on the patch, and a bit of nausea but other than that I felt normal. After 3 days on Yasmin, I am convinced it is not for me. The first two nights I took it, I felt mildly nauseous. I have been breaking out in very strange places over the past fews days (my neck and stomach) and I have had relatively clear skin for years. I've noticed I've been quite moody, crying very suddenly and constantly snapping at loved ones over the past few days but wrote at off as stress. Now I know that there is something not right. I took the pill at 10pm and felt find until 1am when I laid down to go to bed and felt VERY nauseous. I was somehow able to fall asleep but at 4am I woke up and vomitted 5 times. Two hours later and I still feel nauseous although I think (hope) the worst of it is over. I even called my poor mom who lives hours away in the middle of the night crying about how sick and sad I felt. Which I knew was ridiculous but I didn't know what else to do! I couldn't stop crying or throwing up! I am hoping to switch to Ortho Tricyclen or back to the patch. I never realized how good I had it!

I've been taking doxycycline for a few days now. The first few days i felt dizzy, and I had shortness of breath and a heavy chest, the next day I vomitted, and had sharp pains in my stomach. I realized it was because I didn't take it with food, now I take it after a few bites of a meal and basically try to cover the pill with food and liquid so it doesnt upset my stomach and its working...but I'm surprised this antibiotic is has so many side effects..I also have chronic headaches and advil doesn't work at all. I advise anyone taking this medication to eat it with your food or shortly after, especially in the morning.
It seems to be clearing up my bladder infection though, I couldn't take two medications at once so I took this one for a bacterial infection, and I think its killing 2 birds with one stone.

I'm so glad to have come across this site! I've been feeling very weird sensations in my hands, feets and lips. I too have had the "pins and needles" feeling along with the "my foot fell asleep feeling, but it's not really asleep" ... Also I've been getting the same tingle in my lower lip. I was really glad to see someone said it felt like rain. Multiple times I've asked "are we getting wet?" I felt a misting feeling on my hands and cheeks. This is one weird medicine! I too have felt sick many times and even vomitted once. The best thing I found was to eat at least a little something before taking the pill rather then during or after. Also, have severe sun burn on fingers and toes even though I used 45 sun block. I'll agree stay out of the sun!

Years ago when I wasn't feeling well I took zpak. Back then, I had no idea how to take it so I just took it in the morning before I ate. Each time, I had this nauseated feeling, but I just ignored it because I thought it was just my sickness. By day 3 or 4, I vomitted for about 2 hours and then for the rest of the day had diarrhea. I just thought it was the zpak. Then, another time, I took another med when I was sick...took it in the morning before I ate, and the same thing happened. I finally concluded that it was because I had taken it without food.
So...after that, I always take those type of meds after I've eaten something. Since then (which was about 7-8 years ago), I have not had any sort of nausea from zpak or the other.
Conclusion: never take without eating first! Hope this helps!

I have been taking Doxcycline for my acne for less than a week and today, an hour after swallowing the pill with a sip of water and no food in my stomach I felt naseauted and dizzy to the point where i could not stand up. Five minutes later I vomitted and had to call in sick. I am wondering if it is worth it. I don't want to fear taking this pill everyday, but want to get rid of my acne. The side effects should be written on the side of the prescription, but they are not. I am skeptical about this drug.

I am a 45 year old Female and this is my third refill & attempt to try singular as it was wonderful for my asthma and allergies. I actually threw the 1st 2 bottles out-as my side affects were horrendous. Headaches, sick stomach, exhausted, horrible mood swings, depressed, itching, finger joint aches, could not function and focus, I was desperate and tried it again and took 1/2 a pill instead of whole - it did not seem to help my allergies and therefore not enough to create as horrible poisoness feelings of the side effects. I just vomitted again after having a horrible exhausting day. I do not think this drug is worth the side effects. There are other sites that talk about Singulair - and no we are not crazy.

My daughter was given Avelox for strep throat. She took one pill and vomitted. She even took it with some food but it didn't matter. Even when she was instructed to take 1/2 a pill, with food, she still vomitted. Had to change to another medication.

My son vomitted anywhere from 1 to 15 times a day for 3 years. He went to very elite hospitals, gastroenterologist, psychiatrist, & many invasive tests. Then he went to a Neurosurgeon & they prescribed him amitryptiline. Within a month the vomotting was weekly. In a few months it happened monthly & now its very rare. This medicine was a god send. He was on up to 13 meds a day prior to this. I am very grateful to hvae found such a miracle..

I am taking this medication for adult acne as all other antibiotics have not worked. I have been taking it 2 times per day for about a week. I have major burning sensations in my stomach/esophagus. I have woken up twice during the middle of the night and thrown from the spasms. The second time I vomitted, there was actually blood! And they gave me this wretched medication because they said accutane would be too hard on my system?!?

I was prescribed the advair inhaler about 2 years ago. I was diagnosed with acute bronchitis and the physician suggested it to me. I didn't know how it would change my life forever. I started using it immediately. Soon after I experienced severe chest pain, shortness of breathe, flu-like symptons, pain in my legs and hands. I encountered slurred speech and memory loss. I found it difficult to fall asleep as well as trying to stand up. I vomitted a lot and I was constantly clinching my chess. I thought I was losing my mind. I stop taking the medicine and went straight to the doctor. I receive to known reason for this strange side-effects. I just continue to heal from this devastating event. I thought my life would never be the same. I found strength in God and my family. I had to just let the effect wear-off. I had also had chest x-rays and ekg screenings but nothing conclusive. I was just another unfortunate person lingering at the hands of modern medicine. I still don't know why it's still on the market. I may have helped some with asthma but many of us are still recovering from the side-effects alone. I am still struggling today. I still have severe chest pain and pain in my fingertips. Normal breathing is still a challenge for me. I don't think I will ever be totally free of this nightmare but at least I didn't lose my life in the whole ordeal. And that alone is good enough for me.
