Woke up in the morning symptoms and conditions

I'm hoping to hear back from someone about this. I've been on Yasmin for about 1 1/2 years now. I never had any trouble with it until this cycle of pills. The first night I started the new pack I woke up in the morning with a metallic taste in my mouth. I kept taking them but now on day 6 of this pack I still have the taste in my mouth and my tongue is starting to feel numb as well as the left side of my lip. Anyone else have this side effect? I'm really concerned and ready to stop my pills.

I am really glad I read the other posts here. I see a pattern. I tried the NR for the first time about 12 days ago. I got a dull headache from it right away and my stomach didnt feel right although I never threw up from it. I thought I was ok until 5 days ago (Saturday) when I burst into tears over something little right after I woke up in the morning. I went to my weekend waitressing job and burst into tears again over something little. I had such mood problems that day that I worried most of my co-workers and smarted off to people which I never do. My manager was really worried that I was acting so strange. On Sunday I just wanted to sleep all day because I was upset. I freaked out and cried until I choked myself just because my husband was going to be home from work later than scheduled, which is a regular occurrence in his line of work. On Monday when I went to my office job I was in the bathroom all day feeling sick. After that I went to my waitressing job and got really moody again. My manager had a pep talk with me and I thought I was ok becuase Tueday and Wednesday (yesterday) my mood was much improved even though my stomach was still really upset. Well - today I burst into tears on the way to the office, could not shake it off, and left the office an hour later (around 9 am) to try to calm down. I felt better so went back about 10:15. Worked about an hour, felt sick in the stomach again. After almost fainting while opening the bathroom door, I spent the next 15 minutes sweating profusely while I hung over the garbage can waiting to throw up. I'm 29 years old and had to call my mom to come pick me up and drive me home. I thought I had a panic attack or a nervous breakdown by now. I slept a little, woke up with nausea and crying and got online to see if NR was why. It sort of sounds like it. I am trying to decide if I should just pull this NR out now or stick it out until day 21. I am afraid I might lose one of my jobs for being so moody and saying the wrong thing - or hurt my husbands feelings worse than I already have if I don't get rid of the NR, but will I make matters worse if I do? I need help!

I'm so glad I googled side effects of Yasmin and found this site. All of the sudden my mood swings for the past almost YEAR make sense. I started out fine. The pill was great, and I haven't had to worry about acne at all. Of course I gained a few pounds, but not too much. However, I'm a pre medical student trying to study for the MCAT this summer. I've been SO tired and drained and majorly depressed that I just can't seem to concentrate. I feel like I'm always crying over the stupidest stuff (AKA: no reason at ALL), and my grades are starting to suffer. Hopefully now that I've read this, I can stop taking this pill and see an improvement. It's just not worth the depression. I'm 22 right now, and until recently had never had a suicidal thought. I was starting to panic, because I couldn't identify the cause of my depression. I'm a good student, have lots of friends, and have the most amazing boyfriend and family. Life is good, I shouldn't feel this bad. Now that I have a clue as to what this may be, I can fix it.

I started Singulair and did not notice symptoms until about 8 or 9 days into it. The first side effect was severe nausea and fever, I thought I had the flu for about 2 days. I was in bed and then started researching side effects for the medication. Within the same nights I had 2 insanely weird dreams that kept me up. I was literally afraid to go back to sleep and finish these dreams, they seemed to real, like they were truly happening. I woke up in the morning and did not even want to get out of bed. I told my husband I felt very depressed, and extremely irritable. He said "What else is new!" Only joking. I am never under the weather, so we knew something was wrong. I quit taking the medication after these symptoms, because this is just not me. I think of the symptoms by itself would not make me suspicious, but all of them together....and knowing the only difference in my lifestyle are the pills, I had to stop. I will try and post if something changes. I am going to call my doctor tomorrow in hopes another medicine will not affect me the same way.

THIS DRUG IS HORRIBLE adn should be taken off the market...im a 21 year old male in decent physical shape...i was taken to the ER for dehydration from what i thought was a virus...the ER doctor couldn't tell if it was a virus or a bacterial infection so he automatically prescribed me Levaquin just in case it was a bacterial infection...Now it really makes me mad that he wasn't sure what it was and he prescribed this poision to me....but anyways he gave me one pill at the hospital 500 mg and prescribed 8 more doses to be taken home...that night i felt HORRIBLE! my heart had this erratic heart beat...my breathing was irregular...i just thought i was over reacting....that night i couldn't get to sleep i was tossing and turning...the next day i felt like my love handles were SWOLLEN and it was a very uncomfortable feeling also i had a painful jabbing/burning feeling in my lower back it was horrible...i just thought it was part of the virus...as the week went on things got worse i started developing anxiety...and i felt depressed...i actually told my mom i felt like i was dying...it was a miserable experience...my mom then insisted it maybe a side effect of the levaquin so we called the doctor and of course he said "Hes never heard of anything like that" he also told me i should stay on it b/c if i stop the antibiotic won't work or w/e and ill get sick again so i stupidly listened to him and things got worse...the last couple days my eyes felt really weird they were very dry and irritating and when i woke up in the morning or went from very dark to a very light environment everything was so bright it hurt to look at the light...ive been off levaquin for a week now and i feel a lot better but still have problems with my eyes...they are still irritating me and are very dry and now my legs feel weak and sore...i never thought an antibiotic could be this potent...thankfully my anxiety and depression have subsided a little bit...IM NEVER TAKING THAT DEMON SEED AGAIN!!!!!

On January 17, 2006 I was prescribed 500 mg of Levaquin for 10 days for a sinus infection. I was told to take the pill before I went to bed. That night I was extremely restless and could not fall asleep. I would start to fall asleep and then my body would "jump" awake again. I also woke up in the morning with nausea. I would force food down my throat. I lost my appetite and no longer craved foods I used to. I was having very earlymorning bowel movements. I had pain in my arm for a couple of days. I have never felt so crappy from being on a drug! After seven days on Levaquin I called my pharmicist and told him I felt like I was dying and he told me to start taking the pill in the morning. I did and felt a little better. Nevertheless, my nausea never went away in the morning. I would have tremors in the morning and was always cold. Finally, in April I started to have night sweats and lost alot of weight. In May I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety. I started on 10 mg of Lexapro and started seeing a psychotherapist. I was fine for about a month and then my nausea came back.

In November 2006. I was put on 40 mg of NEXIUM which has saved my life along with increasing my Lexapro dosage to 15 mg. LEVAQUIN NEEDS TO BE TAKEN OFF THE MARKET NOW! I STRONGLY BELIEVE THIS DRUG CAN RUIN YOUR LIFE AND KILL YOU!!!!!!!

At the end of Aug. I was diagnosed with an upper respiratory infection, in time it went away. About a week later I found out I had mono and spent two weeks resting, and not being able to exercise at all. Yesterday was the official end of my mono, and I was glad because I should be feeling better, but I had been coughing a ridiculous amount, so once again I visited my doctor. I was told I managed to get an upper respiratory infection again and she decided to put me in BIAXIN XL 500 mg. Last night I had nightmares and woke-up an hour after falling asleep feeling fully rested, but paranoid about it being dark in my room , after this weird experience I managed to fall back asleep. I woke-up in the morning feeling very depressed, but figured it would go away and was just due to a nightmare I had. So I got ready for school, and the day just got worse, I was extremely irritable. Nothing went wrong, I was even giving some surprisingly good news, but was still very depressed. I got home and just literally had a nervous break down. I cried for about an hour straight and just could not stand anything in my life. It was the worst I have ever felt. I finally got it together, and decided to come online and check personal experiences because my doctor had told me it was impossible one dose could do this to me. But, others have gone through what I have just experienced and I have realized it must have been the medicine, because I am generally and very cheerful purpose. Needless to say I will not be finishing my prescribed dosages.

Hi Everyone,

I was on the web trying to investigate birth control pills and came across this website. I am comforted to know that I am not the only person experiencing such problems with Yasmin, and I extend my sympathies to everyone.

I had been taking Depo Provera on and off for 5 years and my doctor's suggested I switch methods due to the bone loss associated with Depo. Since I've always had problems with my skin, they recommended Yasmin, so I started Yasmin in early December. At first it seemed fine and I had mild nausea, which I was told was normal. Then about 1.5 months into my medicine I started getting these horrendous headaches that just incapacitated me. I tried everything to get rid of them: I took Tylenol and Aspirin simultaneously, I added caffiene to my diet, stopped caffiene, tried to get more sleep, and exercise more and NOTHING made them go away. They started as throbbing when I woke up in the morning and progressed to full blown migrane by 11:00am, which made it almost impossible to work. I was so dizzy and foggy when I would drive I was certain I was going to have an accident. Some days I would get home from work at 5:30pm and go straight to bed it hurt so bad.

So I went to my doctor for my 3 month checkup and he insisted that I stop immediately because he was afraid I would have a stroke. I have now been off of it for one week and I feel 100% better. Not a single headache.

Have others of you been on other forms of birth control pills and had similar problems? My doctor said I am sensitive to the hormones in the Pill, so I will have this problem with all pills. Is this true? If so, what other options are there for contraceptives?

Thank you for your help!!

Was given Sulfameth for an upper respiratory infection. After 7 days my eyes began to itch and swell. By day 9 my left eye was so swollen when I woke up in the morning, I looked like Rocky after his fight. It has been two weeks since I stopped the drug and my eyes are still swelling and itching. Antihistamines only help the itching not the swelling.

My grandmother took Levaquin 500 mg for three days and on the 2nd and 3rd day when waking up in the middle of the night was paralyzed to the point she could not move her arms and legs to get up to go potty. She discontinued use and the next night was fine. The doctor put her on a sulfa drug to finish out her treatment.

I didn't ready any side effects of this sort on the prescription discription that listed all side effects.

I remember being on an antibiotic in the same family as levaquin and having the same result when waking up in the middle of the night. I could not move. I was ok when I woke up in the morning, but waking in the middle of the night before it wore off was paralyzing.
