Weird feeling symptoms and conditions

I took aviane that is supposedly the generic version of Aleese.. which its NOT. Aleese was taken off the market and replaced with pill and they called it generic.
Well Aleese has don't wonders for some but when Aviane was introduced it was slightly different. Well, anyways..

I took it for a few days and don't say its not long enough. EVERYONE'S body reacts differently to ALL MEDICATIONS!
After my few days I was biting my fiance's head off and handing it back to him. Next day I was happy as a cucumber and days following I started to get a weird feeling. I felt itchy ALL OVER! And I felt short of breath a little bit and I HAD MASSIVE INCREASED ANXIETY!
I went to the doctor and they said I was having an allergic reaction to something. They couldn't figure out if it was the hormone in the pill or if it was the dye covering it.
NOW I have to go on the nuvaring to see if that does the something.

Was prescribed HCTZ and started taking it off and on in early August. Pain in the butt cutting the pills in half. Started to feel weird feeling in my left ear and cheek and then numbness spreading up my face, forehead and scalp.(I did have a few beers the weekend before this happened) Took myself to ER. MRI, CT, full blood work, thyroid check, EKG, heart and lung xray. ALL PERFECTLY NORMAL. Of course I was diagnosed with possible MS, Belle's Palsy, and was told I might just be wired weird.

Went to primary the following day for follow up and was told that my blood pressure may have been the cause of the episode. Prescribed Lisinopril and started taking it immediately 10/12.5. Started feeling good pretty quick, but noticed a few crazy dreams and almost like I was falling.

Missed a few doses and and had a few beers over the labor day weekend. Started meds on Monday but started feeling pins and needles coming back in different parts of my body. Continued to take meds and then went camping. Had a few beers around the fire. Woke up next morning with slight case of Vertigo. Continued with meds through the weekend and have felt dizzy, dumb, tired, my eyes don't move correctly, my left arm has felt numb and swollen, my left cheek tingles and I feel so swollen in my gland area under my ears. Knee pain too.

I didn't take a dose today, and I feel 100% better. Still tingly and numb in spots, but better. A little anxious and my heart feels like it's beating really deep and fast. BP is 154/82 after going down quite a bit on the drug.

Anyone else had trouble with the alcohol? Any similar symptoms? This site has calmed me down as I've always been a worrier/hypocondriac type. any response or idea would be really appreciated. Thanks everyone...good luck!

I have been on Diovan for only 6 days. I am having trouble breathing and my neck is having really weird feeling in it. I hurts, it feels swollen, numb, like I have surges of blood shooting to my head. My chest is sore. I felt like I was going to have to go back to the emergency. I am on 2 other blood pressure meds. I am only going to take those for today and call the doc tomorrow.

For reference, I am 23 years old. I got the Mirena IUD put in 1/30/08 and I got it taken out today. For the first several months i bled and cramped a lot. Once that passed, i was doing good and only spotted every once and a while. Well, for the last 3 months i got my period. It was heavy and I cramped a lot. During this time I also started feeling distant from my close friends and family. I felt a horribly weird sensation of a fluttering in my uterus, almost like when you are driving really fast and go over a hill, how your tummy gets that weird feeling. It felt much like that except it was in my uterus and it started happening all the time. I have also gained like 20 pounds. I haven't been able to sleep at night. I was having sharp pains in my ovary areas. I had it removed today after 15 minutes of my dr. stalling almost as if he absolutly did not want to remove it. I just kept repeating myself until he finally called in the nurse to observe. I am not good at paps or anything else that has to do with strangers invading my lady parts to begin with. So i was sorta freaking out in my own little world while he poked and prodded away. He was good about asking me if I was okay and if it hurt, but im not one to go and answer these types of questions when im in that much distress so it's okay if they talk but i don't like talking to them back. I'd rather they just get it done and over with. Well, I felt him tug and after a few good ones he got it out. That was a Horrible feeling! I almost cried! Then he just started talking to the nurse and since he is foreign i have no clue what he was saying to her, WITH the thingy still stuck in me!! I was so worried and this went on for about two minutes.. Then i asked if we were all done and once he took it out I noticed that the IUD was in a container but there was another small container with a bloody chunk in it!!! sorry if tmi...when i asked what it was he said that "a bit of tissue came out with the IUD and they were going to send it to the lab. I could tell he was trying to act like everything was fine but if everything was FINE...why would tissue come out too? I'm in a state of panic right now and don't know quite what to think at this point. I would NEVER suggest anyone getting Mirena. The bad side effects plus the removal are NOT worth it at all. This should be banned! If i would have known what i do now i would never have gotten it to begin with. I am now dreading the "crash" hopefully it isn't as bad to me as others. I am a single mother of a child with disabilities...if i get this "crash" thing, things are get difficult fast. Hopefully I start feeling normal again soon.

Well, I had foot surgery. Several days later when I returned to doc my foot was obviously infected. He gave me Cipro AND Levaquin at the same time even though they are in the same family of drug. I went home and ate supper then took my first dose. I had a weird feeling like I was about to pass out and was home alone. I unlocked the front door and waited for EMS to arrive.

They checked me out and I was going to go to ER by car. When I stood up, I turned white and fell back on the sofa. I had a rash on neck/chest and felt like someone was squeezing my chest all the way around my body. They said my blood pressure dropped. They gave me epinephrine in ER. I looked at my daughter and said it is happening again. I thought the top of my head would blow off. I turned white and started vomiting everywhere. Turns out the nurse should have given it in the muscle not by IV.

A few months later, I took my first dose of Avelox (also in same family as Levaquin and Cipro) for a sinus infection. (I think it caused palpitations the one other time I took, but I do that occasionally anyway so I didn't connect it to the antibiotic.) Second time I was out at a restaurant with my sons. I felt like I was about to pass out again. I called an ambulance because they aren't old enough to drive. I told them about my reaction to Levaquin, but to my surprise my blood pressure was sky high. Again it felt like pressure in my chest but no difficulty really breathing. Since I had an "atypical" reaction, I had to stay overnight in the ER and be evaluated for a heart attack! I had an EKG, stress test, and cardiac enzymes drawn all night. What a pain! Then the dufus ER doc told me to continue the antibiotic. My daughter, who is a paramedic, said just nod and smile. Then go home and throw it away. Call your regular doc and ask him to change it. That is exactly what I did.

Now I am petrified every time I have to take antibiotics! I have to talk myself through it.

Second time I took it, I felt weird again.

I'm 28, and I had my mirena inserted back in May, 2007. The initial insertion was uncomfortable, and I experienced pain and nausea for a few weeks afterwards, but those symptoms eventually went away. I was relatively happy with my mirena for the first year, despite the fact that I was extremely moody and had no desire to have sex (I was taking more than the recommended course load at university, so not wanting to have anything to do with anyone meant that I had more time for study - my marks certainly didn't suffer!). During the second year, however, things started to change. I found that my skin became incredibly greasy. I'd wake up every morning feeling like an oil slick. I started developing lots acne on my back, chest, neck and chin, and the acne on my back and chin was the cystic, painful sort that generally leaves scars. I began experiencing cramps and severe depression during the week leading up to my period, which I was still getting, even though I'd been told to expect that it would stop. Half the time I felt too big for my skin, especially around my thighs, and when this was bad it was so bad that wearing pants drove me crazy. I started getting a weird sensation in my chest every now and then, like my heart was missing a beat, sort of a tingly weird feeling, and for a second or two I couldn't draw a breath. I have no idea if that's what a panic attack feels like, or if it was some sort of hair problem. My hair, which used to be fairly thick at the back, started thinning out to the point where I started wearing clip-in hair extensions to mask things. The texture of my hair changed - instead of the occasional coarse, kinky piece in amongst the finer, smooth strands, almost all the hair growing from the crown of my head is kinky. I experienced cramps and discomfort every time I had an orgasm! My weight, which has hovered around 110-115 for my entire adult life, began climbing, despite little change in my diet and exercise routine (I'm now 125, and all that weight is around my waist and hips). This last winter I had no energy for anything, and slept ten hours every night, and napped between classes as well. In the last two months my breasts have grown more than a cup size, and feel swollen and tender to the touch.

I had my mirena removed yesterday, and I feel like it was a good decision. The removal was only slightly painful, no worse than a single bad cramp, and I've had no bleeding so far. The doctor was very sweet about it, agreeing that it just wasn't working for me. She had me count to three and then cough during the removal, a technique she said she'd come up with to make the procedure as painless as possible. I agree that it helped - coughing took my mind off my cervix = )

I held on to my IUD for so long because it cost me a lot of money, but I finally decided that the continuing decline in my self-confidence wasn't worth it. I don't know if all the changes in my body over the last two years can be chalked up to the IUD, but I'm fairly sure a lot of them can. I'll post again in a few weeks to share my experiences post-removal.

12 year old daughter got Gardasil vaccine at the time she got her first shot she got a weird feeling right throughout her whole body. we mentioned to nurse she said it was a common feeling. first needle Oct/07 shortly after she started showing signs of TOURETTES and she is now getting worst. It is starting to effect her daily activities such as sports.
Anyone else having this type of reaction please let us know.

Thanks

Ive had the Mirena in since Dec 2006. It was going great for me too at first then i starting piling on weight significantly and i got cramps and now 2 years later i have sore lower back,tightness down there,weird feeling when i pee at the mo(bleeding and all too),cramping,heavy bleeding!!!!!!, and i also thought i had symptoms to do with pregnancy as well (just like when i was carrying my daughter but the docs rekon you cant get pregnant on this, just like the side effects). I got this put in me as im very low in iron and bleed heavily otherwise. The doctor told me this was the only one that had NO SIDE EFFECTS. Im going to the doctors next week to find out why i have been bleeding the last 2 MONTHS and have huge blot like things coming out too :( Maybe i should go by my own instincts next time and not a doctors. they don't seem to know everything.

Me again, thanks - nice to have read your responses to cortisone injections-- most other sites say no reactions come from these shots... It is hard to take--- I don't like this weird feeling and head balloon and neck pressure feeling. Dr. will probably say never heard of this --- C.

I've been on a lower dose of Wellbutrin XL in combination with Zoloft. Stopped taking Zoloft and upped my dose of WB to 300mg and then to 450mg. I felt good w/no side effects on the 300mg. I'm not sure if it was the WB, but after a couple weeks at 450mg, my head started to feel really weird. Not dizzy, not a headache, just feeling like I need to shake my head to clear it. I dropped back to 300mg and it's been a few days, but I've still got the weird feeling. Can't really focus. Anyone else have this feeling?? I don't know how to describe it other than maybe a head full of cotton balls.

Well I too am having "weird" symptoms. It may be due to Omeprazole but not sure at this point. I switched from Prilosec OTC to Omeprazole which I thought to be the exact same thing. A couple months after the switch I am having chest tightness. Not really pain but just a weird feeling in my chest that almost feels like anxiety or stress and kind of a general weird feeling. Also kind of feels like a chest cold without the mucus that goes along with it. Went to the doc and had a EKG which was normal. I'm 30 years old and don't have any family history of heart issues.

I'm going to stop taking it for a few days to see if the symptoms get better. I'll post back in a week or so.

I have been on this med (25 mg) for eight days to treat SSRI resistant depression. Three days ago I developed flu like symptoms, with fever and vomiting. While I have hypertension I have also seen an increase in my BP even though I am taking my BP medications. However the most difficult to deal with side effect is extreme tooth pain that started when the flu symptoms did. It is so painful I have to eat soft foods. I have had no dental problems in over 25 years. Has anyone else had this effect?

I've only been on Doxycycline Hyclate for 2 weeks - I am supposed to take it for 2 months to clear up my acne. The first side effect I experienced was the nausea/vomiting. I HAVE to eat something before I take it or it makes me throw up. I was sensitive to the sun, but the thing that was the most bothersome was the tingling in my feet & hands. When water touched them, they would tingle as if they were asleep. It was a very weird feeling. The worst side effect for me, though, are my mood swings. I get so angry I feel almost like I'm going to explode. I can't just drop it like I usually do - I just keep fighting & yelling - which is not like me. I've been saying things I don't mean & lashing out over stupid small things. I feel almost as if I'm going crazy. This is just the first 2 weeks, after reading this board, I'm wondering if it's even worth continuing. Supposedly, when this is prescribed for acne, most cases come back after you stop taking the pill. If it's going to come back anyways, I'd rather not put myself through this for 2 months...

well i have been on the nuvaring now for about 4 months now and well the one big problem i have had is that i am always tiered and sleeping, now that maybe caused by me not having a job and getting out much, buti am 19 turning 20 so i thought i shouldnt be that tiered but the problem is that i also cant go to sleep till like 3 or 4 in the morning then sleeping till like noon or so after.....some of the other side effects that i have gotten that i wonder if anyone else has is like this weird feeling in me liek bubbles and always feeling like i need to pass gas...i have gained weight but common girls every birth control makes you gian weight...and well as of the headaches, i dotn know about those becasue i have always had really bad headaches though.....oh and my boobs are very tender and my dirve for sex has gone done sorry ladies i dotn mean to sound gross but my fiance can not get me to well orgasim or you know cum does anyone else have this problem too....then my last question for you ladies is does anyone know if i go off of this pill will it make my boobs down size i am afriad that they will go down and i will get strech marks beacuse i was a size 32 A and the ring made me a 34 B so going off of it i am affraid of the strech marks if they down size.....

My husband took Chantix before I tried it. He was a two pack a day smoker and honestly, I thought he would never give it up.

He had all the normal side effects at first. The nausea was the worst but he learned that eating first helped. Then of course there was the dreams but he could also live with that. All in all, he didn't really notice any change in himself at all. But there was a change and it hasn't changed back yet, and he has been off Chantix for over six months now.

At first, we thought it was just nicotine withdrawal that was making him so mean. But as the days turned to weeks, then weeks to months, it is obvious to his entire family that this medicine has caused a complete personality change in him. He is always so angry. We have been married for over twenty years, and it has just been in the past few months that he has actually been really mean to me. Not physically, just verbally. It seems that we argue about everything. I can never do anything to please him anymore. Everything that goes wrong is my fault. He is just basically an unhappy person now.

The worst part is how it effects our teen age children. They hate to go places that includes him. He is so quick to fly off the handle with them. He has embarrassed me by talking down to me in public and he has done the same to the kids. He would have never done that before. He used to really care if he hurt my feelings, but now, it is as if he doesn't care anymore. He agrees that he seems more agitated than normal, but says he just doesn't know what to do about it. It just has effected his whole personality and it seems that it is a permanent change, since he has been off Chanitx for more than six months now.

He says he hurts a lot now, his muscles and joints ache all the time. That is another side effect that I have found occurs with Chantix users. His memory and concentration is terrible now. He will swear he told us something or asked us to do something for him, when in truth, he has said nothing. He will begin to say something and stop in mid sentence, leaving us waiting to hear what he is saying. When we tell him that he did not finish his statement, he gets angry at us. We feel like we are in a no win situation when dealing with him, so we just walk on egg shells around him now. I want my husband back and my children want their father back.

Yes he is smoke free, but at what cost to him and his family? This drug should have never been allowed to be put on the market without further testing.

Luckily I only took it for three days. But during those three days, my vision got so blurry that I could not even see the TV, and could barely drive a car safely. I called Pfizer to ask about this and at first, thought they were really concerned about me. But then I realized they only wanted to document my side effect. After stopping the medicine, my vision cleared up. I then wrote to Pfizer and complained. I demanded they refund my money and they did, without any questions.

So to everyone who is taking this or considering taking this, please don't! Please stop now if you are taking it. It is a dangerous drug. Smoking is bad for us, we know that. But at least it is something we know. We don't know all the dangers of this drug yet. It is just not worth the risk.

I have had the mirena out now since the 17th October, I had had it for about 2years.it was causing me mood swings, very bad acne, chest pains, insomnia, a weird feeling-sometimes painful-during sex, lowered sex drive, itchy skin, a weird tingling in my facial skin and very bad pre-menstral depression. Am now using condoms as my sole contraceptive(bit scary, but doing fine so far!).
So far my skin has improved alot-I thought it would take a lot longer, the spots haven't completely gone, but no new ones and it looks alot brighter. Also, mood swings are alot better, no pmt and no depression. The chest pains have gone and the tingling, havent had such horrible sleeps and sex drive is definately back!
If this thing is affecting you, then get it taken out! I feel like a new woman! I have not had another period yet, due in the next week. mmmm...I wonder what that will be like! Weird. Anyway, Im just pissed off I never had it taken out earlier an that I thought I had no other choice. It definately didn't agree with me. Do not listen to any docs/nurses who tell you it is 'only local hormones and will therefore not cause side-effects'! LIES!!! It tells you on the leaflet that it may cause these side effects. I dont know why they give you this contradictory info.
Cheers X

Oh yea!! Forgot to mention all the tingling, I get the tingling all over my neck and extremities, it's a really weird feeling. Pretty scary at times.

I would like to stop taking paxil, I have been on it for 3 yrs. When I skip my medicine I get what feels like electrical shocks in my neck & head. I wasnt sure if I had a pinched nerve at 1st but began to associate this with the event that I had not taken my meds. I also have onset of panic attacks & rapid heart, & terrible terrible forgetfulness, as to even what cabinet I would like to open, I open the wrong one, go into the wrong doorway, wrong driveway. I am very concerned. I have told my Dr. that I would like to get off this Paxil but Ive been told that it would be best since I was suffering from anxiety attacks in past. I would like to be committed to be able to handle the withdrawls. If anyone has been successful in stopping Paxil and now feels pretty back to normal, please let me know. Thanks

I received the Kenalog shot in my right shoulder for joint pain that other meds could not resolve on September 13, 2007 (tomorrow will be one week ago) After the first 48 hours of injection I did experience the "typical" steriod type side effects being facial flushing, hot flashes, minor anxiety and slight insomnia on the first couple of nights after the injection. I have just recently noticed a hot/burning sensation on the outside of my right ankle, almost like I applied icy hot to that area. Never before have I experienced this, although it is not painful, it is a weird feeling. As I was first reading all of the other postings I immediately became overwhelmed with anxiety because I too asked my doctor the side effects and as all of the others have stated he said "One percent of patients get an infection in the injection site". That's it, he never said one single side effect. My question to all is that I haven't read anyones posting that states an onset time of the side effects they are experiencing. Am I to still expect more side effects? Has the Kenalog not be in my body long enough for the side effect to become apparent? Please advise! Thanks in advance for sharing such personal information with me. BTW- my shoulder pain has resolved for the time being but because of the now known REAL side effects of Kenalog- If I was to have to take this shot again to keep the pain from coming back- I choose the pain. My heart goes out to everyone who has had even the slightest negative side effect from this drug! LJONES/VA

I am having tingling burning sensation in my feet, legs and hands and arms. My blood pressure was not improving on 5 mg so I upped it to 10 and those symptoms are much worse. The tingling sensation goes all the way up my left arm and up above my knees on my legs.

I have tried to take the Lisinipril before and stopped for these same reasons. My doctor does not seem to think that it is due to the Lisinipril. so I tried it again and the burning, burning sensation is driving me crazy and keeping me awake. I have to get up and stand in cold water for a while to get some relief.

I have not read about anyone with the same symptoms. Does anyone out there have these symptoms??

I've been on the nuvaring since January 2007. The first few months were great! I felt awesome and better than ever. This was because it kept my periods on a normal schedule. I was having them 2 and sometimes 3 times a month for 7 or 8 days at a time. NR completely took care of that problem. My periods are great now and almost pain free. They are very light, and that week, I feel better than ever. However, that is about the only thing that is really great about this stuff. Here in the last few months I have become increasingly emotional. I cry over everything and anything...even if it's nothing. I lose my temper quite frequently (over stuff that used to never bother me). I am extremely tired and can't seem to catch up on sleep. Also, in the past few weeks, I've began experiencing odd pains in my right chest area and head. They are weird feeling and very hard to describe. I am still at a loss to what I am going to do. I suppose I am going to ask other's opinions. NR can be a great thing, but it also messes with your emotions way too much. The worst part is, the man that I love and am getting married to on September 15th, 2007 is having to deal with a totally different person than he started dating. It makes me sad, yet I know that I need to be on some form of birth control due to such long and frequent periods without it.

I had been on nuvaring for 6 weeks. I usually don't do well with any birth control pills so when I heard about nuvaring I was excited to try it. The first few days I felt some light body ache as if I were getting sick. I noticed I was feeling depressed, but I thought it was because of some problems in my personal life. Then I went on a trip to Brazil to visit my family. I always have a great time. This time I wasn't having fun at all. I was always super depressed. I was always tired and never felt like doing much. Some days I just felt like crying. Some nights I would wake up in the middle of the night, think about my problems and just start crying, something that is not like me. My emotions were totally out of wack. I was not in conrol of my emotions, which is not a good feeling. I also had this horrible pain/feeling in the middle of my chest. More like an emotional pain as if you were missing someone super bad, as if someone had died, a very weird feeling. These symptoms subsided a little with a vitamin b complex. I read that vitamin B6, about 100 mg is good for depression. I would take a multivitamin and with it a vitamin B complex. On the days I would forget I felt the difference, the symptoms were worse. Two times during my trip when I was having one of those days my grandmother then my father asked if everything was ok, that I looked pale. The second time when he asked me, I thought to myself, this is not normal. I feel horrible. I came on to the web and found this sight. The same day I took out my ring. I was on my second month starting my third week. It has been two days. That pain in my chest has gotten much better and also my mood is getting better. About the sex drive I am not sure, because I have been away from my husband since I started the ring, but I haven't thought about sex at all. I think it was the right choice to take it out. Another thing about a week and a half ago my breasts have been very tender. My breast are still very tender, maybe a little worse, probably because I took olut the ring a week earlier, but I am glad I did. Hopefully now I will enjoy the rest of my trip. All these products for birthcontrol with hormones is like poison to our body. Well at least I have noticed it has been for mine.

After a couple of months on this drug, I have begun to experience a weird feeling while sleeping, especially on my side. It feels as though there are vibrations in my head which in my sleep I attribute to having left the washing machine on underneath me downstairs. Of course, this is an illusion. The experience wakes me up, then I feel my heart beating faster (maybe anxiety?). when I swallow a few times and turn over in bed, the feeling goes away, but it is very disconcerting.

i think it is time for a public awareness effort about this drug. if you agree, please send your name, address and a summary of your experience to my email. i will organize a joint petition and send it to merck and the fda. many children are being harmed by this drug and parents are not aware.

if we can get an organized effort together, perhaps we can at least get the fda to begin an investigati

well, this has been an enlightening forum.. glad to know im not crazy. I started taking toprol xl about 1 1/2 months ago..and it's been DOWNHILL ever since. I went to the ER one day with a rapid heart beat and overall weird feeling, they say it was either a panic attack or dehydration. anyway, the first 4 days after that i took 25mg of metroprolol, and my first side effect was tingling and pain in my leg. Then, my Dr. prescribed 50mg to keep my BP and palpiations down. Since then, i've felt bad EVERY day. Tingling in legs, arms, face and lips. Fatigue. Consitpation and Gas. Nausea. CRAZY dreams. An overall bad/weird feeling. Weird heartbeat. Though, I have to say i havent had any weight gain. I told my Dr, his first idea was i was having panic attacks, i tried zanax for about 2 weeks, didn't really help. He insists what im feeling isnt from the toprol...(must be in my head?) I had blood work and and echocardiogram-everything came back normal. I guess he's all out of ideas so his next suggestion is for me to see an neurologist who i'll be seeing this week, if that doesn't work, he suggested a psychiatrist... That's not gonna happen. If it comes down to it i'll just have to ween myself off these crazy pills.. After reading all these posts, i'm convinced it's the toprol....
