Wether symptoms and conditions

I started taking nuvaring because it worked well for my sister and my husband and I are not ready for kids. I've only been on it for 6 months but i've had all sorts of issues, like chest pain, feeling very negative and just sad for no reason. Hair loss (i wouldn't have even thought to put that on if it weren't for this site) weight gain which i thought was because im a newlywed.... and no sex drive (which has been devastating as newlyweds are supposed to really enjoy themselves) I already didn't like or trust medication and this has just made it worse. My sister has had hers out for 5-6 months and has been rendered infertile because of nuvaring, shes very healthy too! and she wants another baby! I took it out about a week ago (for good) but it was earlier than i should have according to the calender and I've been a wreck. I've always had bad cramps (runs in the family) like the type that you literally cant stand from, but today its been so bad i felt like i was gonna throw up and had to go home from work. This is ridiculous for my body to react to negatively!! My sister is now trying a natural birth control method that is more scientific than the normal chart that tells you when your fertile and when your not. Im waiting for the book to show up, its called "Taking Control of Your Fertility, by Toni Weschler" Which involves taking your temperature every morning and charting yourself every day, checking your cervix, as it moves up and down based on weather or not your fertile. Then you know when you should use a condom (since im not fond of them all the time) and when you are infertile. Its not for everyone since it isn't easy, but im not willing to mess my body up anymore, i want my energy back, my body back, and my sex drive and if i have to sacrifice 5 minutes a day to do it I WILL!!

hi.
i am so glad i have found this site. i was trying to make a decision wether to have my mirena coil taken out as i have had it in nearly three years and all the symptoms i have been having i thought it was me,
stomach ache, forgetfulness, sore boobs, depression, anxiety, moodiness, oh need i go on...
well i had my coil in 1st time around 5 years ago( about) and i thought it was great because i have unbearable heavy periods i cant go anywhere, well they went to nil, which i was very happy about, then i got pregnant.....had to make the decision of wether to risk having the coil out or leaving in either way can cause miscarriage, i had it taken out very carefully by a wonderful doctor.
my daughter is now three which i call my miracle baby.
i had it put in again because of my periods.. and even tho i don't have them i am regretting it cause im suffering so bad, Monday im having it out and looking forward to getting my body back to normal,,, i do however need a contraception, for my periods and obviously i don't want to get pregnant right now. so i don't know what to choose... i had the pill in the past got pregnant with my son!!!! so what d i do?> ill report back Monday when i have had it out (hopefully)thanks to everyones stories they have really helped me at least i know why im a moody cow

Well I've had Mirena for about a month now and tomorrow I have a check up to make sure the Mirena is in place. when I first got the Mirena I had a little bit of bleeding but not like your normal monthly thing. but every time I went to wipe myself there would be blood and that lasted for two weeks. as well as headache's which I still get and I take Tylenol like it's candy.
Here lately I haven't been feeling well, im notions and a little dizzy, and as I am writing this im having a little bit of abdomen pain. so I have been reading everyone's blog and it scares me. because I don't know if im done having kids or not, and if I keep this any longer is it gonna cause a problem later for me, not to mention probably more pain and suffering. what to do, I can tell you I don't like feeling like this, and Im gonna think real hard wether or not to have it taken out.

Singulair was prescribed to my 3 years old son for allergies. After only two days of taking the medicine he was having trouble breathing, belly pains, red hives and screaming out in the middle of the nights. After the second day we had to take him to the emergency room where they had to give him predisone and a breathing treatment. They told me to stop giving it to him (which I was going to do wether they told me that or not!!!!!!!!!!) Now it is the next day, singular free, and he is starting to breath easier. I hope he continues to return to the way he was before.

I've been on Wellbutrin for 8 years. After reading this forum I seriously question wether if I am the forgetful person that I've become. It's been so long since I've been clear-headed, but I know that as a child I had an extrodinary memory. Because this has viably been a side-effect that has existed for 8 years, I learned to believe that it was who I was. 2 years previous to starting Wellburtin failed in an sucicide attempt and thought that it could be from that. But because of overwhelming anxiety and hives,my doctor has upped my dose from 150mg to 300mg daily. Now I'm noticing that I can't remember chuncks of time. Trying to replaying an event in my mind and realize that I don't what happened after...and which roads I drove on to get home. It's a daily occurence. I will set everything out to take to school, but forget to grab the stuff. Laundry takes me days, because I constantly forget to change loads. I get distracted easily and don't know what I was doing or simply forget that I was doing something. 3 times while writing this I forgot what my next sentence was going to be. I always feel like I'm in a brain fog anymore. My greatest fear is that Wellburtin is the only one in it's class. I tried Paxil, Prozac, Effexor and had horrible side effect. So is it Wellbutrin or nothing? Does anyone know or have suggestions of other meds? When someone hurts me, I usually can't remember it long enough to mad ever again. I also have severe migranies, but not sure if thy're are related.

i am a 17 y/o girl who was put on this medicine to stop continually vomitting and nausea. i have been on it for around 4 weeks now, my vomitting has lightened up a bit (previously it was 10+ times a day, now its down to less than 5), but i have experienced, horrible diarriah, excessive tiredness, muscle stiffness and aches, and coldness. i have also experienced loss of appetite with about a 10lb weight loss so far, that which i am not complaining about, because during the years i was constanly vomitting, i actually gained close to 35lbs, and i have another condition that causes me not to be able to lose weight. so i am debating wether or not the bad side effects out weigh the good.

hi greeneternaleyes. i just read your post and i to have noticed some breast tenderness recently. i too am not sure if it is the yasmin but i did read a few mention it in some post. i am really questioning wether i should ever go back on this pill after reading everyones thoughts on it. before i was on yasmin i was on the depo shot. i dont remember any side effects from it other than when i stopped it to have a baby it took what seemed forever to get pregnant again. i only started using yasmin because my insurance wouldnt pay for it. all the side effects of pills is why i dont take anything unless absolutly nessecary.

It is only my second day. I feel so nauseated! I feel like I am going to throw up. I did not sleep well at all last night! But my doctor said that this was the one pill that did not have nasty side affects. So, I am debating wether or not I should stick with it. Are there any good things about this pill?

On it for 6-7 years

No other Adverse affects

Male, 24 Years Old, Healthy, Active. Have never had any adverse reactions from any medication. No known allergies. Was prescribed Levaquin on Friday, March 18th, 2005 for a minor throat infection. 500mg tablet once daily. Took first dose on Saturday, March 19th, 2005. Over the course of the next 6 days I have been getting progressively worse. Have been experiencing flu-like symptoms including; Fever, chills, muscle aches/pains, joint pain, headaches, muscle spasms, sleeplessness, mood swings, severe coughing(feeling like I have bronchitis), pain in eyesockets when moving eyes, general feeling of being tired/washed out, depression, anxiety, cotton mouth, loss of concentration, vivid dreams(whatever, I can deal with that, no biggie), and just a general feeling of being disconnected from my surroundings like there is this cloud around my head. I have taken the medication for 6 days thus far. I am now on the seventh day and have decided to discontinue use. The Levaquin failed to clear up my throat infection and it has only gotten worse. I have scheduled an appointment with my doctor for Monday, March 28th, 2005. I am also going to start taking two tablespoons of Milk of Magnesium daily starting tomorrow, Saturday, March 26th, 2005. I will post again in a few days to update you all on my condition and wether or not the Milk of Magnesium is working. I sincerely hope that the effects of this drug can be reversed. This site is a godsend. Had I never found it I would have continued to take this "poison". - John
