Yesterday morning symptoms and conditions

In December i had a cyst on my ovary rupture. i went to the hospital after waiting it out for 3 weeks and the doctor recommended i be put on birth control to regulate the cysts. i didn't have health insurance until July..so i made an appointment and went in to see the doctor. he recommended i be put on birth control due to heavy and very long periods, clotting, cystic ovaries, and horrific cramps. i started the pill and instantly became a crazy..i mean BEYOND moody. on top of the mood swings, i had morning sickness, nausea throughout the day, instant breast tenderness (they grew from a B to a C in a week!), and my entire body ached. i couldn't get out of bed in the morning for the first few days i was on it. i spotted every day for the entire pack. when it came time for the sugar pills, i didn't have a period. i waited 4 days and started a new pack.

with the second pack came depression, lack of personality, lack of sex drive, when i'd engage in intercourse it would hurt too much to do anything and afterwords i'd cramp like i was going to start my period..i became lazy and unmotivated. at the end of the second pack, i had yet to have a period although i spotted frequently. i talked to my friend about it and she said to wait it out. so i waited 2 weeks..had a very light period and decided i would start the 3rd pack. i started the pack and got 4 pills in..missed a day..and when i went to the bathroom yesterday morning i had 2 clots the size of a dime. i started cramping to the point of not being able to stand up straight. my appetite is nonexistent. two periods in one month..it's starting to make me wonder if i'm having a miscarriage. my lower back is killing me. i refuse to take anymore pills. i'm going to completely take myself off of birth control.

i know that birth control is supposed to make your body think you're pregnant to cease the possibility of conception. at this point i'd rather risk conception and have a child than go through what i have gone through with Lo24 again.

I have no idea if this has anything to do with it, but after reading this I think it may. I have bad bleeding so I started femcon. I started it Sunday night and it is Wednesday. i have had horrible lower back pain and I threw up yesterday morning. I just came home from school because I felt as though I would puke again. I am not hungry ever and I just feel crummy. I am hoping I just found my problem.

I just wanted everyone to know that I am still here and concerned about everyone who is having side effects from Singulair. Sometime within the next few weeks I am going to post a summary and conclusion about all of the research that I have posted. I hope to come up with a well organized concise statement about why everyone who experiences side effects from Singulair should stop using the drug immediately. Not everyone has an adverse reaction to this drug. For those who do, it is very dangerous to continue this medication even for one more day.

STOP IMMEDIATELY IF YOU SUFFER SIDE EFFECTS FROM SINGULAR. WHEN YOU SUFFER SIDE EFFECTS FROM SINGULAIR, THE REASON IS THAT YOU ARE NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE DRUG'S GENETIC BASED MODEL.

Singulair targets the CysLT1 receptor, which is a gene. This gene is not the same for everyone. If your doctor does not understand that the mode of action of Singulair has a genetic component, then tell him/her.

I threw the crap out after 9 days. Forget it. I went on for acne (too soon to know if it helped) but the side effects were worse than the acne. I was hungry all the time.- Not just hungry, but like I was starving! Couldn't sleep, yet tired all day long. Already big boobs got even bigger and constant headache. I've had a headache for 9 days straight. I took my last pill yesterday morning. Now I hope this leaves my system ASAP without permanently screwing me up! How frustrating. I will never artificially alter my hormones again.

I check these posts daily, so I have been posting a lot! I'm still amazed at so many of us having problems and doctors doubting us!, Mine has been out since yesterday morning and granted I did not have the Mirena for long , but I'm back to my happy self!!! Please do not wait it out, it won't get better only worse...the quicker you get Mirena removed the quicker you will be doing your body good! My Doctor said he had never heard of Mirena giving any woman these side effects??? He also said I should get blood work done to make sure there was nothing wrong with me...Mirena is what was wrong with me!!! I am sorry so many of you have these health problems now and wish you all the best!

My daughter has been off Singulair for approx 2 months and is back to her old self. Talkative and happy! How about contacting the media to see if they would be interested in doing a story on the problems that have been associated with this drug. Yesterday morning there was a story regarding the poor health of our children-high cholesterol etc, and my first thought hmm-wonder if they are on Singulair. I think if more light was put to this drug, maybe we could get answers faster.

62 year old female, taking Lisinopril for over a year. I was at lost for my symptoms until I read this site, pain in arm, don`t sleep, itching all over, Head ache, pressure on back of head Dizzy, trouble walking,depression,loose of memory etc.( history of a benign brain tumor about 10 years ago) Pressure was so bad I made a appointment with my neurosurg) Talked to a Pharm. He suggested to not take it one night and see. I did and the pressure went away.I called the Cardiologist. His nurse really told me off and that I was not having any side effect, something was going on, but not Lisinopril as I had taken it for so long. She was just plain rude! She would not call anything else in for me either. I am titrating it and and looking for a new doctor!!

TERRIBLE took first dose yesterday morning my gf loves to swallow almost gagged last eve how can 2 pills change that much almost passed out bout noon nooooooooooooo more of this crap still have kidney stones will deal with it

Hi everyone,

Had my Mirena out yesterday. Funny how insurance does not cover removal. Are they in on it too??? Absolutely no pain at all. Compared to when it went in, it was a breeze. The only thing the doctor would say about my side effects is that the hormone in the Mirena has been known to cause depressions, but she just looked at me funny when I mentioned all my other symptoms.

My first feeling after having it out was that I didn't feel like I was holding something in, of course, I never noticed that I had a "holding in" feeling, but could feel the difference the minute I got it out. I still have the headache and some dizziness, but not as much as yesterday it seems. It could be that I'm so happy to have this thing out that I'm just feeling better!!!! LOL AND, my skin seems to look better already. Yesterday morning, I was looking at my face up close, and started crying just because it looked awful. It was all just blah, no shine, splotchy, BUT TODAY, I swear it has an even coloring to it. I put on make up for the first time in months because my skin actually looked great!!!

Only had a little bleeding yesterday after removal, and so far none today. I always had a heavy period while on the Mirena so not sure what to expect with it out. I'm just glad the demon thing is gone!!!!!!

Hi, it's me Amanda. I posted a few days ago about my symptoms and my upcoming removal of my Mirena. I had it removed yesterday morning. It was no big deal at all. I barely felt it. I was just starting my monthly Mirena type spotting though which apparently makes your cervix soft and makes it easier to get out. So if you have any sort of cycle on Mirena schedule your removal during your cycle. I was very skeptical of some people's stories of feeling instantaneously better, but I'm a believer now! I started feeling so much better immediately. I started crying this morning when I work WITHOUT A HEADACHE for the first time since I can remember. No Advil Liquigels today, not one. I cannot begin to tell you how insanely happy I am about this. I feel like new person and my uterus just feels lighter and healthier already. I found the previous poster's information from her doctor very interesting about being small-framed and the Mirena being one size fits all. I only weigh 115 pounds and I violently react to many medications because they dose them for the average human. I usually take half doses of things, which I can't do with Mirena. I wonder if that had something to do with it? I will continue to update how my life is going without Mirena! Good luck everyone!

I really wished I had found this site yesterday morning instead of today. I was prescribed Avelox for my sinus problems and was a little unsure about taking it. I decided to take it anyway since I had not ever had any reactions to any medicine before. About 20 min. of taking the first dose I was dizzy and lightheaded, thought I was going to faint. I did manage to drive to my child's school to pick her up and had to use a room to sit down in because I couldn't breathe and my lips and face was swelling. Someone took me to the ER and they gave me steroid and benydryl. The freaky feeling has left me but my chest is still fluttering and I am feverish and have no energy. I have never felt this way in my life. I hope the side effects end soon. This stuff needs taken off the market.

I cannot believe that all of these stories have such similarities. How can singulair not be the cause??? We have learned all this about singulair my husband and i feel just in the nick of time. Our seven year old son has been on singulair for about three years. Like many others, it seemed great for awhile and yes I think it does assist in controlling his asthma. But over the past year very subtly we have watched our happy go lucky son who was a tough kid --- turn to a crying all the time unhappy and negative child. He complains of stomach aches ALL the time. He's been t the ER twice for suspected appendicitis. He is always saying he does not get a good night sleep. In the past few months he has started with the anxiety -- afraid to go upstairs in the house alone, worrying about many many things a normal 7 year old should not be concerned with. He does not want to go out and play with his nine year old brother like he used to. Low energy,etc. Just yesterday morning my husband and I looked at each other and said...is he depressed? Later in the day a neighbor happened to mention the news about singulair. I was on line researching and came across this web site. I cannot believe what I am reading.
When my son was about 3 his beloved pulmonologist (who has since died) told me that singulair was not a good drug and he did not understand why so many doctors where prescribing it. He said he had brought this up at conferences,etc. I feel like this man is speaking to me from his grave after reading all this. Why did we put our son on this drug? His next pulmonologist put our son on it and the pediatrician also advise us using it. I always remembered what our original doc told us...but what do you do when you've got two respected opinions telling you the same thing and sick child you desperately want to help?
Our son was one of those kids who was born with a smile on his face and a laugh in his belly. I have three children, he's the middle. he was my happiest baby and my toughest kid. he was soooo sick as a baby, by six months rsv and pneumonia...nebs,etc you all know the deal. But the thing that my husband and I would always remark after all those sleepless nights was what a trooper he was. He never complained. We got our strength from him. He was jolly and happy all the time. That boy has been lost. He is done with singulair and we hope and pray to find him again. If our pediatrician and pulmonologist treat us the way the recent pediatrician posting did I would say why are you trusting these drug companies over the voices of thousand of parents. My husband and I are educated people. I am not one to just jump on the wagon. There is absolutely something to all this. These are the lives of children we are taking about. We need to listen to these kids. I have been making excuses for months about my sons changes in behavior and been so sad to see him sad all the time. I have been hard on him...tough love ... because he has turned into such a cry baby and complainer. I feel terrible. None of this is his fault. We pray for him to free of these symptoms as the days and weeks go by that he is off singulair.

Hi All -

I hate to read how Advair has affected all of your lives negatively however, after reading the information on this site, I feel so much better about what I have been experiencing.

I have had asthma all of my life. I was taking Albuterol (as everyone does) to control it when I had an attack, Singulair and Serevent (only prior to exercising to help stop an attack from happening). I went to a new pulmonary doctor with a bought of severe bronchitis and he told me that I was "not controlling my asthma properly" and that I should have been on Advair a long time ago. I trusted him and started taking it twice a day.

I have been on it for 17 days and over the past five days I started having severe anxiety over my breathing functions. I was monitoring every breath I took and wasn't breathing unless I told myself to. This started causing severe panic attacks...I HAVE NEVER DONE THIS BEFORE IN MY LIFE!!!!! I am not prone to anxiety or anything like that and I have had asthma ALL MY LIFE!!! This was an entirely new behavior. I thought I was going crazy...I couldn't stop thinking about breathing.....I analyzed what was new in my life and what I have been doing differently that could cause this change in my life and the only new thing was Advair. My husband had to give me a Xanax (something that I have never taken in my life) just so that I could function and go to work. So I went on line and I found at least 50 web sites like this one devoted to Advair and a link to panic attacks, anxiety, depression, etc...I STOPPED TAKING IT!!!!! I don't care what my doctor has to say...the benefits are not worth this drug taking over my life and changing me as a person. I am done. I will deal with my asthma as I have always done so and I don't care if he thinks that I am "not controlling it". I left a message for the doctor and I am still waiting to hear back. I haven't taken the Advair since yesterday morning and the panic attacks have started to get milder. I am still a little bit focused on the breathing but only if I am alone and not preoccupied. I have to believe that these side effects will go away in time and when the drug is out of my system. I learned a valuable lesson. I will only take a drug if I research it first.

Thank you all for your comments....you have helped me to preserve my sanity. We all can't be feeling the same thing and not attribute it to the culprit..ADVAIR!!!!

I'm five months postpartum and quit the mini-pill a few days ago and started NuvaRing as soon as the bleeding started (yesterday morning). I have never felt so aggressive in my life! Perhaps it the combination of getting off one BC method and onto another, but this is awful! I feel angry toward my baby and my husband. Do I need a break or a new BC? Before I got pregnant, the pill made me feel even worse, crying all the time. Now I just feel volatile and mean.

Started taking 11/11/2007; by second pill, had upper respiratory and flu-like systems and had very hoarse voice. 12/31/2007 have completely lost voice and still have upper respiratory symptoms. Did not find that Boniva causes this on patient information available from Boniva, but later found it on another site. Doctor prescribed tetracycline thinking it might be bronchitis but it is not - my chest is fine; it is in my trachea. Has been over a month now without being able to talk and I conduct business on the phone. I was perfectly healthy until I let someone talk me into this because my mom had osteoporosis.

I started taking Symbicort 4 weeks ago. I'm an active person, eat well and I'm in good shape. I caught a cold a week after taking symibort. It seems that as my cold got better, I didn't feel like I could breathe any easier. Since I starte taking it, I've been real fatigued. I wake up very tired and I'm sleepy all day. I stopped taking it yesterday. I fell better today. I went back on Advair until I can see the Doctor to try another medicane.

I just had Mirena inserted sept 12 ( 2 weeks ago)-had major cramping and discomfort-but basically went well. Since then i've had the "normal" cramping, pain, and nonstop bleeding. I've had major mood swings and irritability (not the norm for me!)-- and more pressing heart palpitations, arm numbness, insomnia (although im extremely tired--2 month old come on!) The scariest thing is yesterday morning i was lying in bed and my head began spinning--and i was extremely nauseous--and vomiting all day-im still extremely dizzy and can barely get out of bed still!!!!! All this within such a short amount of time....I called my ob/gyn--and am waiting for the callback..i even took a pregnancy test bc I felt as awful as i did when first pregnant! Man im glad my hubby found this site (he was searching to see if mirena causes such symptoms) at least i see other women are experiencing such crazy and similar symptoms as well...ive got to get this thing out-and im not takin no for an answer! -i feel soooo awful ...this dizziness is crazy....comments anyone??

After years of dealing with social anxiety disorder and panic attacks, I was prescribed 50 mg of zoloft yesterday morning. i took my first pill at noon during lunch, and I felt naseous/exhausted throughout the day, but knew that it was a normal side effect and didn't think much of it. This morning I woke up with my face, chest, arms, and neck COVERED in hives. My face looks like I've got horrible acne. I went straight back to the doctor and she gave me a medicine to calm the reaction. I was unaware of any allergy, given that this is the first antidepressant I've ever tried. It's disappointing, though. All this waiting, and all I got out of it were a bunch of hives and nausea. Any one else have an experience like this?

Okay, here's one you probably haven't heard before.
Have been taking Toprol for several years. A week ago, my pharmacist switched my prescription to the generic Metropolol. I took the 7th pill yesterday morning. Last night, I had a weird dream about a flood and I awake to find I had wet the bed! Almost 60 years old and wetting the bed? It has to be from the metroprolol. That's the only thing that has changed!

I put in the NR for this first time yesterday morning. I woke up today with a foul odor and discharge (symptoms of vaginitis). I called my DR to question the side effects and her response was to take the ring out, rinse it off, and put it back in. She also told me to be patient and give it time.

I am seriously considering taking out for good...after 1 day. I've read through the posts and didn't see many women complaining of vaginites. Has anyone experienced this? So soon?

Have taken Reglan just for just one and a half weeks to help with my diabetes related gastroparesis. Since taking it I have been unable to read, play computer games or even concentrate on TV. I chucked it yesterday morning and already feeling a bit better. I am gonna try again maybe in a few days just to confirm that this drug is the cause, but it looks awfully coincidental. That's why I'm looking up side effects on the web today, gave them no thought until yesterday.

hi everybody,
sitting here reading all your posts feeling really crappy.
Off yasmin now for about 8 months and trying to take it one day at a time.

I should be at my works christmas party tonight but am feeling so bad this weekend i pulled out. Cant moan to my husband as he is already annoyed at me for not going tonight.
we were really looking forward to it but i just couldnt face it. I work with such a good bunch of people and i know they will be disappointed i didnt go tonight.

regular posters will know my story. Was on yasmin for 4 very long years. Caused me huge problems, like anxiety, eyesight problems and many more. Eventually saw a very good fertility doctor who tested my hormone levels.

I started my course of hcg injections last sunday for low hormone levels.

For anybody who might know what is normal, mine were estradiol 257 and progesterone 37. Day 3 levels were normal which at least mean that i am not having an early menopause.

My fertility doctor said they are extremely low so prescribed me hcg injections. Have a friend who is a nurse so she showed me how to do the injections myself.

Have 4 injections every second day in the last week of my cycle. Does anybody know if they could make me feel so bad. I felt fine up until yesterday morning. Woke up feeling very anxious and down as well as feeling terribly irritable.

I seem to have lost so much weight in the last few weeks. None of my clothes fit me anymore. went to look for something to wear and even size 8 is too big. Are they making clothes bigger or have i really lost that much weight.

Is there anybody here who knows anything about hcg injections and their side effects. My doctor told me i would have no side effects.

I have so much anxiety again. I was feeling ok but feel like i am back to square one, like i am on yasmin again.
Could this be to do with the hcg.

I am sorry if this post is really depressing but i feel this is the only place i can really talk to people.
I would really appreciate any ideas. Hopefully when i get up in the morning i will feel better as i dont think i can go back to this again.
Thanks everyone

Sarah, Sophie,

Tonight, when I laid down, and on a few other occassions, I have this really heavy feeling like its hard to breathe as if someone were sitting on my chest? Is this like either of your sensations? This follows this fluttery aching squeezing sensation I've had since yesterday morning...

Any other ladies out there who have developed this problem?

I can't believe this-the acid reflux, the plugged up achey ears, and now this chest pain (last 6 months)/been off of Yasmin for 2 months....went onto Orthocept but I think I just have to get off of all bcp's.

I went to the doctor Friday night worried that I had pink eye. He says "No, your eyes are fine, nothing wrong there, but your cough sounds awful." so he listens to my lungs and says I have bronchitis. Yeah, I had a sinus infection a couple of weeks ago and the cough never went away. So I say, ok, what can you do? I have no insurance, the place I currently work at is cheap. He brings me 5 sample packets of Levaquin, 750 mg. Says to me "These are really good. Take one a day for the next five days. They should do the job, they are $25 a pill." I think, wow, that's some expensive medicine.
ANyway, I come home and take a pill around 8. I have a second job that I work on evenings and weekends, so I have to get up in the morning to go. I can't sleep like usual. I wake up every hour or two. First I am sweating, I get up and turn the heat down. Second time I wake up with tears running down my face, I'd been having a nightmare about one of the kids I watch dying od SIDS (How twisted is that?) Then I just keep waking up.... I go to work yesterday morning and after about 2 hours I start to get real light-headed and nauseous and my ears were burning like someone had embarrassed me to the extreme. I came home after being at work 4 hours. I felt sick to my stomach all day but thought it was because I hadn't eaten. WHen I finally ate, I couldn't stop eating. Then I did, and 2 hours later I was feeling sick again.
Not thinking anything about it being the drug, I took another one last night at 6:30. When I finally went to bed at midnight, the nightmares started all over again. I wake up crying, my body wracked with sobs, tears rolling down my face.
I don't want to keep taking this medicine if it is causing all of this but I don't have the money to go back to the doctor for something else, and I can't afford to still have bronchitis. What am I to do?

I have been taking lisinopril for five years with zero side effects. Yesterday morning I woke up and could not breath. I felt like something was lodged in the back of my throat. I began vomitting because of my gag reflex and went to the emergency room. As it turns out my uvula was swollen 5 times its normal size. The ER doc tells me this is a not so rare occurance with ace inhibiters.
