Apartment symptoms and conditions

I am 17 years old. I started taking this pill on October 13th, 2008. I had just finished my cycle and went to the OBGYN to do a check up because my last sexual encounter had left me bruised and hurt. I also wanted to start taking birth control again. She put me on this pill and by the next day I was bleeding again. The blood wasn't heavy, and it was dark and tissue. My mother and I didn't think anything serious of it because I had just gotten off my period so it wasn't weird that old blood would still be flowing from me. The next weekend, I was hanging out with the guy I was seeing and some friends. We went to our friends apartment to watch a movie. The boy and I were sitting outside and he began to ask me questions. I got really paranoid and protective and almost completely shut myself off from everyone. Even though the questions were simple and friendly, they made me moody and depressive. for the rest of the night I was upset. I could tell that the boy was unhappy with my mood change so I tried to be happy. But almost immediately, I began to feel depressed again. My mood was so different that the boy ended up leaving me for another girl because "he realized it would never work out between us."

I bled for the remainder of my first month pack. I had severe mood swings similar to the ones I get right before my period, all month. After I took the four brown pills, my bleeding stopped and I thought that would be the end of the mood swings too. And for a while, it was. I started my second pack. I am currently in the second week. I missed my pill yesterday, and when I woke up this morning, I was bleeding again. I took my Monday and Tuesday pill together and I hope that will stop the bleeding.

I have no way of knowing if the mood swings are from the pill or if I am depressed from the break-up. I haven't had a loss of sex drive (although there is no way for me to really test that considering I haven't tried to have sex since I have been on the pill) but I have had a change in appetite. Because this is my senior year, I am usually able to sleep from 10:00 pm until 7:00 am but lately, my fatigue hasn't change but I have been unable to sleep soundly through the night. This could all be due to my recent relationship mishap but I can't help but feel that I am handling this differently.

The depression comes and goes. For the most part, coping has been easy. I have been a lot more relaxed about the relationship situation than I would normally. But I do get sad. And when I get sad....its unbearable. I considered suicide and almost made an attempt. It was an out-of-body experience unlike any I have ever felt. I don't want to wait for the sadness to come again.

I want to stop taking this pill but the doctor says that by the third month the symptoms should even out. I hope so

I am 18, and had my first Gardasil injection about a month ago, along with the birthcontroll implanon. I was found unconscience in my apartment, i have had horrid migraines, vommiting and digestive problems. I have been admitted into the hospital a couple of times just this month. The doctors just brush me off- like they don't believe me- what do I do?

Wow, I am so shocked to read all your ladies' comments!

I just started using YASMIN about a week ago and suddenly I started feeling very anxious and depressed, at first I thought that it was because I recently moved to my current apartment and had a lot of stress.

Then the more I thought about it the more I realized that whatever was happening was not normal because that's now who I am. I felt it had something to do with the pill, but I didn't think the side effects could be so awful. I have breast tenderness right now.

I just went to my GYN today and let her know what was happening and all she said was that it was too early for me to be having those side effects and gave be a paper to go and get a blood pregnancy test done.

I am 27 yrs old and I had been off BC for a long time, but the pills I used years ago did not give me any of those side effects.

I plan on going back to the DR ASAP and let her know that I want a different BCP.

Hi. I was diagnosed yesterday with Bells Palsy, (the entire right side of my face is completely paralyzed) and given prednisone, a tapering dosage. I started my first dose of only 20 mgs last night and went to 60 mgs today, will keep on that dose tomorrow as well as one more day, taper down to 40 mg for two days, then 20 mgs for two days. My heart feels like it's going to beat out of my chest! I can feel it it's beating so hard and I can also hear it when lying down .Very freaky. My blood pressure today was 164/107. My normal bp is 110/70. I take medication for high blood pressure but it's not doing much good. I am also a diabetic and my sugar is whack! Had to increase my Metformin. I'm assuming since no one has died from taking this HORRIFIC medicine, we'll all live through it but at times, I feel like I am going to have a frigging massive panic attack! I have to calm myself down, listen to music, meditate. That does help some but not enough .I will be sooooooooo glad when I'm done taking this SH*T! Another thing I've noticed is I am bone weary weak, like I've run the Boston Marathon, competed in the 1000 meter butterfly medley and then played 3 sets of tennis on top of that! GOOD GRIEF, HE INVENTED THIS CRAPOLA?

Both my 19 year old daughter and my 30 year old step daughter were put on Yasmin. Both began having heart problems. The eldest had heart palpitations, a racing heart and dizziness. The doctor discovered that her potassium level had shot up and her magnesium was down. They put her on magnesium to help control the racing heart. It helped, but then she became pregnant and had to lower the dose. The 19 year old has had the worst side effects. She was fine on ortho tricyclene, but when her doctor switched her to Yasmin her blood pressure shot up to 170/118. She began having chest pain. We pulled her off the Yasmin, but she has continued to have uncontrollably high blood pressure. The doctor ran several tests and has found no underlying cause as of this writing. She began taking 5 mg. of Norvasc, but was increased to 10 mg. to manage the high blood pressure.

I am 20 years old and had basically tried every form of birth control before Mirena (the pill {multiple kinds}, the NuvaRing, and the shot). My OBGYN talked to me about the possibility of Mirena. Normally they do not do it for people who haven't had children but with my track record with other forms of birth control we decided to go ahead with it. I got it put in place in October 2007 and passed out on the table. It was the worst pain I have had in my entire life and had to lay down in the hospital bathroom for 45 minutes after insertion because I couldn't even stand up. I cried the whole hour ride home after and my boyfriend had to carry me up three flights of stairs into my apartment. I bled for a month and a half after insertion and then didn't see any blood until a month ago. I started getting very bad cramps (have had them all along but not bad, they said my body had to get used to it so I could have some cramping for a few months), after one day of the horrible cramping I finally had to go to the ER. The Dr's told me I had a 3inch ovarian cyst that had ruptured. After CT scans, and multiple internal and external Ultrasounds they found it was still 1 inch long and put me back on the pill to shrink it. They claim Mirena couldn't be the cause but I am doubtful, I have never had a cyst until Mirena and I think it is the cause. Ovarian cysts are on the side effects chart for Mirena so it is interesting that they told me that can't be the cause. Anyway, after weeks on 3 Vicodin a day and constant pain I started feeling better but occasionally still have pain. The doctors also thought they might have to surgically remove it which could put at risk my possibility of having children (SCARY!) If another cyst comes I will get it removed, I have had it for 6 months and can't deal with anymore. I'm about ready to be celebit until I'm ready to have kids because going through all of this is not worth it. If anyone has had the same problems and got it removed can you email me and tell me how bad it hurt? I am going to be really upset to have gone through all of this to have more awful pain to have it removed. Thanks- my email is ******

My name is Bobby and I've been dating a girl who has been through some tough times. She took my advice and started taking an antidepressant, Celexa, 5 weeks ago. 3 Weeks after starting the Celexa, we began to have the relationship I always knew we could. I love her so much and for one week I was the Happiest man in the world.
Unfortunately, against my advice she started taking Yaz a week after beginning the Celexa. I told her that beginning two new drugs at once will eliminate the ability to identify which drug is causing which affects whether they be positive or negative.
After 3 weeks of Celexa and 2 weeks of Yaz, my girlfriend started acting alive and excited about life again!! She even started losing weight because of her beautiful new-found energy and zest for everything. She was playful, she was laughing, she was sexual, she was the girl of my dreams and we fell more in love than ever.
One week later (After 4 weeks of Celexa, and after 3 weeks of Yaz) a monster emerged who no longer can stand the sight of me. She doesn't want me to touch her, hug her, or even kiss her. She doesn't sleep at night. She screams and yells at me for being annoying when I'm doing things that once made her smile with love in her eyes.
I found an apartment today and decided to move out... I have never been treated so poorly by anyone in my life before. She's aggressive and verbally abusive. She's been complaining that people are talking about her and she seems paranoid. I made the mistakes of taking steroids a while back and I can tell you she is the monster now that I was then and both Yaz and steroids affect hormone levels and I'm telling you I just can't believe how many relationships this drug must be ruining.
Tonight I took the Yaz and threw all of it out. She got mad at me because she's afraid that she'll stop losing weight... I mean she's just completely lost perspective. I showed her pictures of us happy together and she still chose losing 3 more pounds over our relationship. I'm losing my mind... Just a few weeks ago she reminded me again that she wants to marry me and give me babies. Where has my future wife and future mother of my children gone??

I'M LIVING IN FEAR THAT SHE WILL FIND A WAY TO GET MORE YAZ B4 SHE'S BEEN OFF LONG ENOUGH TO SEE WHAT IT'S TURNED HER INTO.

SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP!!!

My 2 year old son was prescribed Singulair for eczema yesterday and gave him his first dose last night. His bedtime is at 8 and since he is two years old and fights sleep, it normally takes him 30 to 60 minutes to actually fall asleep. He was still awake at 10:30. He couldn't seem to wind down. I knew it was from the Singulair immediately. I woke up this morning and got the prescription literature to see if this is even prescribed for eczema. It didn't say. So I got on Singulair's ...... and nothing about eczema. I then searched ...... and found this website and I am completely blown away by everyone's stories. I think I will take the 30 bucks for next months prescription and buy a humidifier for the apartment and use some Cetaphil lotion. He didn't have breakouts this summer due to the humidity, so I will just make my apartment humid. The doctor not only prescribed Singulair, but also Clarinex. The pharmacy had to order it and I was supposed to pick it up today, but I am going to search the side effects for it first. I will probably just save my money and see what I can do with home remedies.

I've been on the ring for about 3 months now and I enjoy it. I do have breast tenderness and on and off headaches. I thought I was pregnent at first but realized it was the ring's side affects. One thing I am concerned about is the moodiness I've been having. My life was fine before I tried the ring, now i'm at the point where I want to leave my 5 year relationship with my boyfriend and he can't stand me anymore. Whats even worse is I have a year lease on our apartment. He's thinks I'm cheating(which I'm not). I'm caring less and less about him and my love towards him is changing. Could this be the ring or something else? I'm at the point where I want to cry everyday because I hate my life and I want to see a therapist. I'm spilling my guts out but there it goes....my side effects.

I was not happy when I was prescribed the Sulfameth. I get sinus infections often, and am usually prescribed Amoxil, but I had a different doctor. The first three days I didn't notice anything, not even a change in my symptoms. The third day I woke up with pain in my left wrist. As the day progressed my right wrist started hurting too. Neither pains did I attribute to the Sulfameth. That night I couldn't get cool, but the weather was very warm, I just it was the weather. The fourth day I had body aches all over and my sinus infection felt worse, my glands were swollen, and I had a fever over 101 degrees. (I never have fever.) This is the fifth day, I can barely walk across my apartment without breaking a sweat, my hands feel like every bone in them is broken. I decided to look up the side effects after a phone call to my pharmacist didn't give me any answers. It is so good to find out I am not alone.

I've had prescriptions for alprazolam for over 3 yrs. I love this drug more than sex, food, vacations- it's the best feeling in the world to me. I can go places I normally feel uncomfortable, like a sports bar. The only bad part are the seizures when I run out- I can't hold onto a bottle loger than half a month- and I get over 100 mgs- I've had one on the beach, in a car, at 2 different jobs, in the shower- I've gotten better, though. Now, I taper off as much as possible- Xanax is responsible for the loss of my truest, longest love, my car, my best job, my independence/apartment, friends, family, money, reputation-- but I still love to take my Xanax tea and listen to music and see where the day takes me more than anything else- Oh yeah- it also makes me crave going to Manhattan to walk from one end to the other with my headphones- my advice-- never run out and always taper off halving for at least 5 days and finish with small amounts, even .25 for a week. I'm currently on 3 sticks a day :) Maybe the next seizure will kill me, but I'll go happy. One really great side effect is the memory loss- all the stuff that used to depress me has burned away.
