I was born without a thyroid gland so I can't compare the way I feel now to the way I would've felt with a thyroid. I've been on Synthroid my entire life (22 years), and I'm up to 112 mcg now. I am very skinny (5'5", 104 lbs) and feel constantly fatigued no matter how many hours I sleep, what I eat, and how much exercise I get. I periodically get pain in my hip joints, heart palpitations, and intense mood swings. My thoughts race but I have very little physical energy. I feel restless and gloomy almost all the time for absolutely no good reason. My doctor tells me I'm depressed but I honestly have no reason to be depressed and I wish she would see it as a symptom instead of a diagnosis. I graduated from a good college, I've got a job I like, I have friends, I enjoy life and my hobbies, yet I feel overwhelmingly sad. This does not seem like depression to me.

I find that after I do aerobics I get a tightness in my chest, which makes me worry about my heart, but again my doctor doesn't seem to think this is cause for concern. I have been irritable/fatigued for YEARS and I suspect I'll feel this way for the rest of my life. The worst of it started when I hit 16 years old and started the 112 mcg. My tests are always normal and it frustrates me that my doctor disregards my symptoms. I've tried other doctors, but they always send me away with my 'normal' test results. Can anybody help?

LACK OF SLEEP. I was in bed but wide awake and aware of everything going on around me. After taking the medicine for about three days, I felt depressed, anti-social, and extremely lonely. I felt meaningless and my boyfriend even asked me what was wrong with me. I did not focus well on anything including my school work. I felt extremely aggitated and rude to strangers. I feel extremely ditzy and unaware of what is going on if in a social atmosphere. I remember taking this medicine as a kid and complaing to my parents that I didn't like the way I feel. I still dislike this medicine and will ask my doctor to prescribe anything but z-pak next time I am ill.

I have been on Yaz for almost 2 weeks and I have noticed increased nervousness. I feel anxious. Has anyone else experienced this?

Ladies,

I am so glad for the internet because I am having the same side effects. I cry for no reason, like now I am about to cry typing this. I am depressed all the time. In the beginning it is wonderful. Before I started the Ring my cycle would last for 8 WHOLE days strong. When I got on the ring it change to 1 day or a day and a half. I loved it! Then I noticed that I would always have an attitude about something. I was always negative and never wanted to do anything, I just didn't have the energy. Oh my goodness and Sex, just thinking about it turned my stomach. I just didn't want to be touched or kissed or anything. But when I forced myself to do it I really enjoyed it. It was hard to stay lubricated but that was another side effect. My poor husband is hanging in there with me. I explained to him why I am feeling the way I am. Its the ring. I am apart of LA Weightloss and in the last month and a half I have not lost any weight and I have gained inches in my stomach and breasts because of the ring. I took it out Monday night and I will never put another one in. I am going to get my tubes tied. I am so tired of all this birth control because it seems that it is not controling anything. Believe I would rather have an 8 day period than feel the way I feel now.

i've been on synthroid for 9 years. started at some low dose and gradually went up to112 mg. get extreme itching all day everyday if i don't take allegra for that.not a rash just itching. that doesn't bother me as much as the fatique. every joint in my body aches all the time. sure there are better days but fo rthe most part it's bad. tried physical therapy and chiripratic care but no avail. they ended my sessions. my legs get sooo weak and my feet burn lower back really aches. sometimes muscle cramps. i'm very negative towards my loving family and it hurts me to do so. can't seem to keep upbeat. soo tired all the time.
is it the syntroid? i used to be very energenic and a doer. now i have spurts of activity in the morning , but then i just can't get motivated. help me any suggestions?

I have had GERD for 3 years, and I took Nexium to treat it for the first 2 years... worked great, could eat whatever I wanted (I love spicy food!) with no side effects. My insurance stopped covering Nexium, so I began to take Aciphex as both my mother and grandmother have taken it for years (GERD runs in our family). In the last week, I have had a sensation like a huge lump in my throat, and the feeling that I could not take a deep enough breath. Since I have dealt with anxiety in the past, I thought it must be that... however, I noticed that I was burping much more than usual and when I wasn't burping, I felt like I needed to but couldn't. I have felt miserable, and thought something was really wrong with me. Tonight, I found this site and another of people complaining of the experience I am having. I am not taking Aciphex for the rest of the week and will see how I feel. I hope that the way I feel is due to the side effects of this medicine! I will pay out of pocket for Nexium, b/c the way I feel no is unacceptable. My mom and grandmother have never had these problems, however, medicine affects all people differently... I just don't think Aciphex and I go together.

I have had this weird sensation of floating and rubbery. I have also felt drugged from Geodon, in a yucky tired kind of way. I feel zombie headed and warped. Everything is off kilter and it is hallucinagetic (spelling)? Everything is distorted around me. I feel numb to life. I have been on this stuff for a week and a half, the psychiatrist promises me that it will subside. I hope so.

I have been taking Synthroid since Jan. 2006, am on 100mcg per day and all test results have been 'normal', I have been told to take this medication in the morning an hour before eating anything, if I do this...I have headache all day, I can't eat after an hour because I am so sick at my stomach there's no way. I feel hungry, but feel like if I eat it's coming right back up. Am having serious joint pain in hips, knees, elbows and wrists, my neck hurts really bad as well. I wake up to arms asleep anymore and just feel like I haven't slept in months...am very weak and very tired all of the time.

I have found that if I take my pill at night this gets a little better, but holy cow, don't tell your Dr. your taking it before bed...no, take it of a day. (don't know why this is a major thing?)

Anymore I feel like I am walking around with flu symptoms constantly, and the Synthroid hasn't done anything weight wise with me, because I was so HYPERthyroid before the RAI, I was very thin and looked like a bag of bones, have been waiting and excited about putting on weight...at one point I stopped taking the Synthroid and let myself go HYPO just so I could gain weight, it worked and I got up to about 130 pounds, was very HYPO so they told me critical that I get back on meds...I lost it again because it makes me so sick I can't eat.

NO-ONE can tell me the Synthroid is not the cause of this problem, if I stop taking it I feel WONDERFUL, but my test reults are bad. After a while of course my feet become numb and I end up having some bad hypo symptoms, have tried breaking pills in half....oh Lord no, need it all...

Have been told they are thinking about raising my dosage again anyway, I can't do this, I will break down in the office if they try to raise it. Right now my TSH is fine but my T4 is 'a tad bit' off. I am already an emotional wreck, if they raise my dosage I am going to try and go a different route with this, am on my 3rd Dr. at this point anyway...

I've been on birth control for about 4 years now. I am 23 years old and I feel like I'm 73 years old! I started out on the patch and hated it because my moods were horrible. Then I switched to ovcon and I hate ovcon just as much. I've gained at least 20lbs from it and I feel bloated constantly!!! I absolutely hate birth control especially ovcon. It sucks! It makes me tired and depressed. I can't stand the way I feel on this pill!!! I'm calling my doctor Monday & I'm coming off of it ASAP!!!!

I have been on Atenolol (only 12 mg a day) half a pill, for 4 months now. I have had dizziness most of the time, ice cold hands and feet, numb feeling in my legs, severe pain in my chest, which turned out to be costachondritis. Very slow heart rate 50 bpm. Low blood pressure 98/54. Dull pain in both my sides and back. I did not have any of these symptoms until I started Atenolol I hate the way I feel. However, when I try to stop it, my heart starts racing. I have been taking it only for my racing heart (as the Dr. says I have atrial fibrillation.) I wish there was a better med without these bad side effects.

I took two of them with dinner and my pain went away within an hour. I did feel a bit dizzy, tired and run down, but that is the way i feel most evenings. I give a thumbs up!

I came across this site last week after finally getting fed up with vaginal dryness/painful intercourse that my obgyn couldn't explain. (She put me on yeast infection medicine..but obviously, that wasn't the problem.) It hit me all at once that my weird, very uncharacteristic crying spells (ex. unable to complete sentences without feeling like tears are welling up)....to extreme anger and a flared temper....to a recent fainting/diarrhea spell...to overnight changing my feelings completely on having children, to hating my job!! (I mean really...my feelings are ALL over the place.)I've never been one to blame things on others or for this matter, a pill. But I realized that a lot of my strange personality changes may really be attributed to the Yasmin. I have had insomnia for the last 4 months...which I've also never ever experienced before. In general, I've become a worrier and feel all around numb and no love for myself or my boyfriend. And for no reason. It's putting a real damper on our relationship actually. I told him about this site and explained what I've been dealing with...silently for the most part because I thought it was just me. So I guess we'll have to wait it out....I started taking Yasmin in November 2005...and now in retrospect...can start adding up small changes to my personality starting back in Feb. 2006. My last pill was this Friday. I'm day 6 off Yasmin and have my period this week. I am not going to go back on the Yasmin this weekend. (after my period ends) I'm afraid to go on any hormonal birth control because of the way this affected me so badly. In a way, I feel like I may have never been "myself" around my boyfriend. We started dating in Dec. 2005, and I had started it a month before. Does this make sense? I had been on OrthoTryCyclen a long time ago....and remember when I moved to England...I got off of it and felt as though my feelings in general went from black and white to colorful and vibrant. I think I'm going to explore non hormonal options from here on in. I've done some research on IUD's. In particular, the copper IUD.
Anyway, sorry for the ramble ladies. My point is to say thank you for speaking up. I come and look at this site everyday to just remind myself that I'm not alone. And that I can look forward to feeling myself again one day. And mostly, that feelings of butterflies and happiness will come back to my relationship with my boyfriend. Who is simply wonderful. Just a fantastic guy.
Keep those chins up ladies!

I have been on geodon for 6 weeks and i could say i have experience some horrible things such as seeing things at the corners of my eyes and hearing voices. I can't stay put for one second, feeling rejected by my doctor, unable to accomplish things that I know that I can very easy, having problems with my blood pressure dropping to 90/60. This usually happens in the mornings and gets so bad that I have to left work and come home. I feel confused and light-headed, can't sleep. For four weeks I went with two hours of sleep a day. I feel that its causing problems with my marriage. For the moment, my doctor has me on 60 mg of geodon and on 2 mg of klonopin. I don't know which two of them are the worst, I have been to the hospital twice for maniac attacks. The only thing good about the geodon was that I lost 30 pounds. The way I feel I rather be fat than feel like shit.

Hello all! :0)

I can't believe I was lucky enough to of found this site. I woke up this morning, again in a horrible mood, a terrible backache (which all this time I figured was my new mattress!!), and my boyfriend again mad at me for not wanting to do anything sexual with him YET AGAIN. This guy is one of the best things that has ever happened to me, and I haven't been able to figure out why I don't want anything to do with sex what-so-ever, for the first time in my life!
I decided to google search any side effects from Yasmin, and found you all! :0) THANK GOD!

I started Yasmin 5 months ago, after having heavy periods with my other birth control pills. The nurse said "Oh, try this new pill, which helps you loose weight, and shortens your period". Well of course that was the winning line for me. Looking back, almost instantly, I had loss of sex drive. This is really unusual for me, especially for being in a new relationship, after being single for over 4 years. The backaches kept me up at night, and in the mornings, I could barely stand. I realized lately, that when I'm on my period, and not taking that week of pills, that instantly, my sex drive increased, I was in a WAY better mood, and the backaches were MUCH better.
The mood swings, I related to being upset with myself, blaming me for this loss of sex drive thing, which in turn upsets my boyfriend, thinking it's him that is doing something wrong. Out of no where today, I told him I was thinking about ending things because of the way I feel, and that's not what I want. I sent him off to work today, devistated, and actually not caring about it, until I read some of these posts, and then....BOOM! another mood swing...I burst into tears, feeling terrible knowing that all this time, all my problems could all of been due to this pill!
I have one more pack of pills, and they are going into the garbage, and the phone call to my Dr. will be as soon as they open, asking to switch my brand. I'd MUCH rather have a week long period, than to live everyday like this.
I want to thank you all for posting such personal information, because it has helped me to realize....maybe this wasn't ALL ME. There's nothing wrong with ME, and hopefully getting off this pill, will be the first step in improving myself. I will keep you posted!
Thanks so much again....

I have had two weeks off of Yasmin, and I feel horrible. I am on luvox- antidepressant and antiobessionial drug- because I just can't handle the way I feel. I have been on it for four days. Every day I am anxious and I hate it. I question myself and my relationship constantly. I have times where I feel okay, but it never lasts very long. I have never been this depressed in my life. I hope one day I will be back to normal

I had my second infusion, and a debilitating headache came on. I feel very grogy the day after and as of yet no real change in the way I feel. I suffer from Sarcoidosis, and my doctor feel that this will help with the immflamation. I was worried about the headaches, but I see that several people have experienced them also. If anyone is positive that the Remicade is the cause please note. I'll be checking in from time to time.

Christy,
You say " As far as the weight gain goes...it can be lost". Maybe you can help me. For a while there I thought it's true. The weight gain started easing up. but know since I got my period this month (it actually lasted 1 day) the weight gain and bloating has increased immensely. I hate the way I feel and look. Im slowly sinking into a depression. I excercise 5 days a week, barely eat and I try all kinds of herbal teas, with no relief in sight. If you know christy how this weight can be lost-i'm game for anything!

i have been on advair off and on for about 5 yrs .

I have been on Levoxyl for 6 months now and I hate it. My eyes burn and itch. I feel tired all the time. Also sleep a lot. The tiredness hits me all of a sudden like someone flipping a switch on. I have never felt so bad in my life. I'm 50 years old and the doc blames the way I feel on old age. He did not discuss any side effects at all. When I was on synthroid I felt a whole lot better. But he changed me to Levoxyl.

I received an injection of Kenalog (40 mg in my right buttocks ) in November 2004. I had some sort of of rash under my eyes. The shot worked. The rash came back in February 2005 and again I was given an injection of Kenalog (1cc in my right buttocks). It was after this second shot that everything changed for me. The first obvious side effect to be directly identified with Kenalog was the Huge hole in my butt. I had Many other side effect for weeks and months to come that I didn't realize was the Kenalog till just this past week. I have had terrible night sweats for months, I have had a chronic yeast infection that no matter how much diflucan I take it doesn't go away. But the worst side effect is that my resting heart beat has been about 15 beats per minute more that it ever was and shoud be. I feel like there has been as excess of adrenaline running through my body 24/ 7. Hard to be inside my own sking these days. I also recently started to lose my hair. I just last week finally couldn't take the way I feel so, I went to see an endocronologist who said it is the reaction of the Kenalog. And told me this could last a year.
Has any one else out there experienced a rapid heartbeat and unbearable anxiety?????

Hi,
I was on Yasmin for three months but stopped taking it just over a month ago after looking at the postings on this website. I'd previously tried Alesse and Marvelon but had to switch because of breakthrough bleeding. Yasmin solved the breakthrough bleeding problem but caused the following symptoms that I hadn't had with the other two pills: headaches, vaginal dryness (to the point where it became difficult to have sex), dry skin and hair, constant thirst, frequent urination, muscle weakness, and NO sex drive. I didn't have the more serious symptoms that many of you report (heart palpitations, depression, panic attacks), but I was alarmed to read that many of you didn't start to experience these side-effects until you'd been on Yasmin for over a year. Did Berlex's clinical studies actually go on for long enough that they could tell what the long-term side-effects of this pill were (e.g. what does the change in blood potassium levels do to you over the long term?)? Doubt it. Anyway, I think Yasmin is probably great for breakthrough bleeding... but that's the only good thing I have to say about it. By the way, I feel pretty much back to normal now
(a month and a bit after I stopped taking it) so I guess the side-effects don't always persist.
Wishing you all the best of luck in recovering from Yasmin. If anyone knows of a pill that's good for cycle control but won't completely f*** up your body, please let me know!!!

i have been on zoloft about 8 months, I tried weening myself off of them but then my head started again. I was put on them for stress and tension headaches. I hate the way I feel on them, fatigue, constantly dizzy, dis-oriented. I don't feel right. Sex- drive, down the drain. Latley, I've been having severe head pressure, waiting on appt w/ Neurologist again, went to orthodontist to see if it could possibly be my jaw. Do I sound crazy???????????please help me
