Waking up in the morning symptoms and conditions

This is the best thing that ever happened to me. I have taken Provigil for several years 200 mg every morning. I feel awake, but not jittery. I sleep great at night, and have no problem waking up in the morning. I have experienced no side affects.

I am a 45 year old female, I have been on Advair for about 4 years now. I tried to go off of it once because I was having heart palpitations, I had to go back on it because of my asthma, waking up in the morning feeling like I couldn't breath just didn't work for me. I have less heart palpitations and my asthma is in much better control, however (isn't there always a "however"! I have been dieting and exercising like crazy (ok, all my life, but seriously for about 6 months now.) The scale has not moved...and I mean nothing, not a pound! I could not put my finger on it until now...it must be this drug! What else could it be? So now I have to decide if I want to be thinner or breath! Huh....some choice!

I was prescribed Anesse (or something to that effect?) but Aviane was the generic brand, and since my insurance doesn't cover it right away (I have to send receipts in), it's much smarter for me to buy the more expensive pill.

I do agree with the anger issues. I didn't really tie it to the BC until I read some other symptoms that you all were having- but since I've been on Aviane I have been very impatient and moody. I still have a sex drive, and I still love being with my boyfriend but I get REALLY upset with him VERY easily, which isn't really "me".

I have also been SO tired since I've been on it. Before I started on Aviane I could stay out until 3 in the morning and be fine. Now it's nearly impossible for me to stay awake past 11, and waking up in the morning is even more of a chore.

My skin hasn't necessarily cleared up a lot. I do break out less (generally just around my period, which is expected), but when I do break out it's almost impossible to get rid of.

A good thing is that it definitely does it's job, and I haven't gained any weight. In fact, it's easier for me to lose weight now. :)

Is anyone here when referring to Zocor taking the generic or the brand name? I have had trouble with vivid dreams and after several months I am exhausted from this sleep interruptions. I used to take the name brand before they had the generic
and had no problems at all.
The vivid dreams started after taking the generic.
Any responses would be appreciated.

thanks

I love taking Ambien because it gives me about 5 to 6 hours of sleep. Prior to taking Ambien, I never slept through the night. The most sleep I ever had was a couple of hours here and there. I'd be up at night trying so hard to fall asleep. Now, I actually look forward to taking my pill and going to bed. It's less stressful knowing I am going to fall asleep. I wish I had started taking it a long time ago. I must admit to waking up in the morning and not remembering phone conversations. Also, on numerous occasions, I have found an empty bag of M & M's on my nightstand when I wake up in the morning! Absolutely no memory of getting out of bed and going into the kitchen and bringing candy up to bed. Maybe it was my dog, Bailey!

I have had the mirena for almost 2 1/2 years, it was not too bad to begin with although I did develop a bartholins cyst which I was told could have been due to this coil being fitted, not very pleasant I can tell you! Anyway, apart from feeling a bit tired and nauseus every 3 months or so it was not too bad for the first year, but since then my symptoms just seem to be there almost all the time. I even tested for pregnancy earlier this week because I feel so nauseus particularly on waking up in the morning, I also feel lethargic, have lower abdominal pain, difficulty concentrating, dizzy spells, constant discharge, very sore breasts, hot flushes at night and cold spells at any time of the day, I could go on. I eat healthily, train at karate 4 times per week, had my blood pressure taken in Asda this week 112/83 which I am told is good. So, I have come to the conclusion that with time this coil is making me feel unwell, I could never take the pill as it made me feel awful and I tried the injection which made me feel even worse. Nothing else for it, I have 4 children already, I can't have any more, it would not be practical or fair to my family, so I am going to be sterilised (if I can get my doctor to agree). I also need to get my doctor to agree to remove this coil, I am not taking no for an answer, I know my body and I am 99.9% sure that it is the Mirena that is causing the problems.

YAZ: I've been on Yaz for about a year after taking Yasmine for a year or two, and I have been feeling very lethargic for the past few months. I'll sleep fine, but after waking up in the morning about three hours later, I'm wiped out again. I've also been having heartburn and dry eyes-don't know if those are related. Has anyone had new or worse side effects after being on Yaz for a year or more?

I am just out of hospital after 7 days from Rhabdomyolysis brought on by dehydration after playing tennis on a very hot day. There was the possibilty that my heart and kidneys suffered damage. When i think back I was waking up in the morning with lower back pain but I attributed that to being a weekend athlete that had really stepped up my activity. My wife also swears that my memory is terrible and when i stop to think about it (what was I thinking about again????) she is right. The hospital doctor took me off simvastatin and the pain while in the hospital and my first night home was gone. I was being treated as a diabetic but once in the hospital my blood sugars were all normal and my metformin was stopped. I was told that what happened could have killed me not to mention heart and liver damage. Watch that muscle pain carefully!!

For information to the previous posts:

I have been off Advair now for 10 days (last post was on March 2). I switched to Qvar and it is working great. It took a week to get rid of the after affects of Advair - legs cramps, palpitations, nervousness, not sleeping at night.

For the last year and a half I wondered what the leg cramps were about; why I wasn't sleeping soundly at night (I thought it was pre menopause); all these different palpitations at various times; waking up in the morning feeling a "heavy" feeling. I also developed diabetes during this time. I really believe the Serevent in the Advair was doing a number on me.

I wrote to the FDA regarding this. On March 6, 2006 the FDA put out a new warning regarding Advair and Serevent (it's on the internet).

I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND ANOTHER ALTERNATIVE TO TAKING ADVAIR OR SEREVENT. BUT SEE YOUR DOCTOR BEFORE STOPPING SO THAT HE CAN PUT YOU ON ANOTHER TYPE OF ASTHMA MED. AND CHECK THE PRESCRIBING INFORMATION!!!

I have been taking Singular for only 3 nights now - I have been experiencing dizziness and drowyness, aftering waking up in the morning, and continues throughout the day. Please advise

I have been on prednisone for 3 weeks to get rid of a severe allergic reaction to an adhesive and then an antibiotic. I have been having a lot of trouble getting to sleep and then waking up in the morning. Additionally, I have just begun to develop several areas of pimples around my chin and by my hairline...it is very abnormal for me to have acne.

I began taking prednisone a week ago for a severe case of poison ivy. prior to taking it, i did a little research and heard all of the horror stories, so i was very anxious. the doctor prescribed 20 mg three times a day to start, with a taper-off beginning three days later. my wife, who is a nurse, was shocked at the high dose, consulted with a friend who is a nurse practitioner and we all agreed to cut the dosage by 60%. I began to take the drug, and relief was almost immediate. My hand was so swollen with the ivy, i couldn't make a fist. in 24 hours, the swelling had gone down, in a few days, the itching was gone and the ivy was drying up. In addition, i have had zero negative side effects. Contrary to what I have read, I actually have a decrease in appetite and a bit of weight loss. I have more energy and feel wide awake until about midnight every night. It takes a bit longer than usual to fall asleep, but I feel great upon waking up in the morning. All in all, I have had a very positive experience with prednisone, and that is a lot for me to say, as I despise pharmaceutical companies, and take no prescription drugs at all (well, except for an occasional prescription decongestant when allergies flare up.) But I shudder to think of what would have happened if I had started on the massive dose the doctor originally prescribed.

Mid-30's male, have been on Singulair for several weeks and have noticed increased irritability, fatigue, difficulty waking up in the morning, etc.. I think I'd rather wheeze...

Started on Geodon 40 mg in the evening three days ago. (This is prescribed for bipolar and I also take Prozac.) It knocks me out cold about 1-1/2 hours after taking it and I have a hell of a time waking up in the morning, so knocked out-feeling, brain dead, drowsy. My husband the insomniac says I have started to make VERY strange noises in my sleep (I'm not talking in my sleep anymore, just making strange noises), but when I ask him to describe the noises, he just laughs and won't tell me. I shudder to think. After finally waking up, I feel hyper, am pacing, agitated and I am sweating like crazy. Also, my stomach feels vaguely queasy. The doctor plans to increase this to 80 mg. (Oh for joy.) It's too soon to tell, I know, but I'm so sick of taking endless drugs and combinations that don't work. I feel weird with them, I feel weird without them. What a life.

I experience weight gain, lots of hunger, trouble waking up in the morning. The worst thing right now is lethargy. I'm used to riding my bike in the hills for 1-2 hours and this is just killing my ability to do hard exercise. I feel like I'm slogging through some thick mud and just can't move the body. I'm an artist and I have lost my intense desire to work. I have really enjoyed the great night's sleep - seems much deeper than all alternatives I've tried, and I think it's good for my startle reflex. I have read horror stories about the difficulty in getting off zyprexa, though my doctor doesn't seem to concur. I tried once and just couldn't stand the choppy bad insomnia.

Hi, everyone! I was wondering if anyone was put on the pill for pelvic congestion. Last September my doctor put me on Yasmin because of the diuretic effect and low weight gain. The moment I started Yasmin my knees began to ache. They continue to ache to this day. Also, I have exprienced a lot of tingling in my left arm and on the side of my face. Although I didn't know it might be the pill until I saw this site! I'm not sexually active, but I have noticed a significant decrease in sex drive. Recently I have experienced shortness of breath, too. I take the pill at night, and have noticed that I have a harder time waking up in the morning. After reading this site, I think I'm gonna switch my pill. On a good note, my skin has cleared up significantly. Thanks, and best of luck to you all!
