After reading all of these comments I no longer feel crazy. Since I've started Desogen in January, I've had mornings where I wanted to roll from my bed right through the window. I've felt suicidal for no real reason. I would wake up thinking, "I can't do today." I've been so depressed and moody, even more so than usual. I've always been a pretty emotional being, but I found myself on the phone at work crying hysterically to a cousin about something so ridiculous that I know I freaked her out. However, since being on Desogen, the only times I've been happy were the moments that I was right next to my boyfriend or on the phone with him. Even when he'd leave the room to go shower my mood would drop tremendously. My sex drive hasn't changed that much. I'm slightly dryer than usual. I feel sick everyday all day (everyone thought I was pregnant, which I'm not). My eating habits have changed. I've gone from eating about 4 meals a day to eating once, maybe twice. A few days I had gone without eating simply because I did not want to get out of the bed. My sleeping pattern is off. And I have no energy. I've stopped working out because after work all I want to do is climb in my bed. This is nothing like me. I'm usually really excited, always dancing, had a pretty good workout schedule going. Now I feel like an empty shell of myself. Should I lay off Desogen, or wait to see if things change?

My bio stats: Male, age 41, bodyfat 12-15%, 5'8, 200lbs (I gym a lot). BP without medication range from 150-160/90-110.
Only started treating my BP this year.
Developed a persistent coughing immediately after taking Lisinopril (20mg). Coughing especially bad round 12mn to 4am before being able to fall asleep. Lost of strange and almost blacked out twice in the gym. Lost of libido and penile erection after about 2 months of use. Horrified, I saw my doctor and he swtiched me to Losartan about 1.5 weeks ago.
With Losartan (25mg) I developed a sore throat within 3 days of use which become a really bad chest infection a week later. This was 2 wks ago and I'm still fighting the chest infection with erythromycin and codine.
Obviously, this completely spoiled my gym workout schedule.
Also, I realised that about 4-5 hours after taking Losartan, I'd develop and really bad lower back pain (almost like a slip disk). It would go away after about 6-8 hours.
I never felt more sick this long. Is it worth taking the medications?????? Is there a way to do this naturally without drugs???? HELP!!!!!!
I'm almost ready to give up eating out and just making plain boiled chick breast meat everyday!

I took 3 injections of lupron, in the summer of 2008. I then was switched to an extra strength dose of birth control pills, so that the endo would not come back. I was really sick, really bad headaches, and really bad cramps, after two months of birth control, so I stopped taking them, and have felt great ever since.
I have gained about 20 lbs since the beginning of this process, which is not at all like me. I work out, and watch what I eat. I have recently started a very heavy workout schedule, but have not lost anything. My boobs have gone up a whole cup size, and my stomach is where I have gained the rest.
Any one that has any ideas on what I should do, would be great.
