I have been using the Nuvaring for almost three years and I am thinking of taking it out in a few days and leaving it out for good. I never thought I had any real side effects until I started reading other people's reviews. I thought everything I was feeling was just me being me, but now I know better. Here is the long list of my side effects: weight gain, depression, severe anxiety, painful intercourse, discharge, itching, migraines, pimples, and zero sex drive. I have been with my boyfriend for almost three years. In fact, I got on birth control because we were beginning a serious relationship and I did not want to use condoms. Our sex life is nonexistent at this point. When we had sex is was good, but it was painful too. I am 27 years old and I have started having the attitude of "I could go the rest of my life without sex". I don't want my boyfriend to even touch me at this point and this is definitely putting strain on our relationship. Last night we were discussing the situation and he said to go off of birth control and we would use condoms. Like I said in the beginning I am taking it out. I am a bit anxious about going off birth control because I do not want any kids right now, but being on this birth control I am practicing another type of birth control abstinence. Doesn't make sense does it? The other side effects I mentioned are also affecting our relationship. This is a serious relationship, I am going to marry this man; we have picked out rings and that is why it is so important that I remedy this problem. The discharge side effect was putting a damper on our sex life in the beginning before I lost all interest. I never had a migraine in my life and rarely had even a headache, but I have had two migraines in the last few years and get headaches more often. I had a random pimple every once in a while, but now I have them everyday. I have gained weight and can’t seem to lose any. I wake up in the mornings with my mind racing due to the anxiety and I have not felt genuinely happy in a long time. The depression has made me even think of suicide several times and my life is fine. I am looking forward to being myself again. I hope this helps someone.

I am 25 years old and got my first shot in Aug 08. I became drowsy 15mins later and passed out. My arm was so sore that I could barely lift it or touch it. I felt a tingly sensation on my hand but it went away a couple of days later. I got my 2nd shot in Oct 08. I had the same side effects like the first shot, as well as severe headaches, tiredness, nausea. But this time, I started having pimples on my face. It is now December only took 2 months and now i have severe nodular acne. I went to the dermatologist and they said it just happens. I'm on antibiotics to clear my skin and it still doesn't work. Its extremely severe, and now the dermatologist is going to prescribe me acutane for my skin. I've never had this issue with acne before. The pimples came about a week or so after the 2nd shot. And it keeps getting worst. So bad, that actually hurts.

I'm 31 years old, in a stable relationship and had the Mirena inserted in April in order to lessen the amount of synthetic hormones going into my body. I'd also never really found an oral contraceptive that didn't have some major side effect (nausea every night 2 hours after taking the pill). My doctor told me that the chances of side effects I'd read about on the internet (acne, weight gain, loss of sex drive, depression, etc.) were statistically extremely unlikely.

The side effects didn't appear immediately, but after about 3-4 months, I got everything but the depression. I'm a yogi and practice vigorously 5-6 times a week but was gaining weight around the middle, I broke out in large, deep, incredibly angry pimples all over my chest, back and chin (places I've never had pimples). I hardly wanted to touch my boyfriend. The thing is, it wasn't until I went to see an acupuncturist for my acne that she pointed out that my change in birth control might be the source of some of my symptoms. Once I really started researching side effects of Mirena, I realized that my experience was not as rare as my doctor had made it sound.

I had it taken out today and a Paragard IUD (cooper, without hormones) put in. Even then, the doctor was extremely resistant to even the idea that Mirena had anything to do with any of my symptoms. He was actually rather condescending and aggressive towards me. He did point out that when I had my Mirena put in, I stopped taking Oral Contraceptives and that loss of those hormones could be the cause of my acne. I admit that it could be a possibility, but my acne is worse than when I was a teenager (when I wasn't taking birth control) and in places that I've never had a problem with before. And the loss of hormones don't explain weight gain, vaginal dryness or loss of sex drive. I'm open to the possibility that the Mirena isn't the source of all of my problems. It probably works very well for a lot of people. However, my personal experience along with the other women on this site should be taken seriously by the medical community instead of cast off as "unscientific." I know my own body and I think that often, our gut feelings are dismissed because there isn't a readily available scientific explanation. As we've seen through history, medical opinions change and known effects of drugs/hormones/chemicals are slowly discovered. Doctors should be open to the possibility that we actually know our own bodies.

when I was in my early 20's i got a sever case of bad acne! I was prescribed 100mg of Doxy 2 times a day. Of course I learned very quickly to eat before having it. Other than that no side effects. I had flawless skin for about 2 years, at which point i had built up a tolerance to it. When I noticed a few pimples I went straight to my derm before it got out of hand. My derm switched me to minocycline and after about another year of perfect skin I got off of meds all together. I have great skin now, just use proactive and nothing else.

Well now my 14yr old has started breaking out..nothing topical worked, I want to protect her from all of the emotional damage that acne caused for me. Put her on doxy 100mg 2x a day. Shes been on it for about 2 weeks and it seems like the big ones went away but there is an over abundance of small ones now and they are flaring up. Is that normal..I don't remember this happening to me but it was so long ago. Does it get worse before it gets better? Anyone experience this?

Well I think that I have been the most dramatic person posting on this website.I have had the mirena since May 2007 and overall thought that it was the best thing in the world until I started putting two and two together. I have had bouts of major depression, hair loss with every combing, acne galore (Im 30 years old and have always been complimented on my clear skin), headaches,moodiness, been a recluse, no sex drive, when i did have sex it hurt my ex so bad that we just decided not to, and not to mention the weight.I work out twice a day on my bike, do weight lifting 5 days a week and do stomach exercises twice a day.All of this was done to my dismay because I have not loss a daggone pound. The straw that broke the camels back was when I went to see my doctor and he told me that I had to get a rx filled for bacterial vaginosis. (I don't have sex and haven't had sex in 6 months) so it couldn't have come from new or many sex partners(Im not that type of chick). He said that the hormone that the mirena delivers can make the normal bacteria in your body grow in excess. Well I just about lost it. I was so upset that I asked him to remove it. He told me that in order for them to do it I would have to wait until after the holidays. Well that wasn't good enough for me so I marched out of his office, drove home in a rage, and marched upstairs and snatched it out myself. I thought it was going to be painful but it actually didn't hurt at all. I haven't started bleeding as of yet but am prepared for it. The only good thing that I can say I will miss about the mirena is the absence of my period. I went the whole time without one. The thought of not having a period scared me as well. Regardless, this is my story and I know I went to drastic measures but i was extremely unhappy.

forget it! don't let it pass your lips! i am 38yrs old and going through a very stressful time in my life. my periods have always been regular and short. a couple of months ago i started experiencing 2 periods per month with the most recent one lasting 20 days. ugh! gross! my doc put me on this pill to regulate and stop the bleeding. started taking it right away and my period stopped almost immediately. a few days later i would start again with heavy bleeding that would last for about 6 hours and then be completely gone. a few days later, the same thing. this went on for 3 weeks. now i have started a full blown period and have another week and half until my brown pills. as mentioned i am going through a very stressful time in my life, but i am not a person to suffer from depression or be emotional. i always see the silver lining and can make the most of any situation. i eat healthy, i take care of myself. my sex drive has always been through the roof. i am in the prime of my life! now? i am tired. i am gloomy. i could care less about social engagements. i am negative. i have weird discomforts in my calves and abdominal area, i cry over spilt milk. sex? seriously? who cares about that?! if i could lay in bed all day, eat chips and dip, drink wine, cry and watch mindless tv ... life would be grand. this is not me! also, i get pimples in places i never thought possible -- my arms and legs! ew! my doctor wanted me to take this pill for 3 months. not a freaking chance. my other option is to get an ablation. i've known several people who have gotten this done and have never heard nor read anything negative about this procedure. bent over today with heavy (non due) bleeding and cramps, i just called my doc and said, "screw your pill, ablate me."

I had Mirena inserted in August 2008. I enjoy the fact that I hardly have any periods at all now, but am not feeling well at all. I am 41 years old and I have always had clear skin. Since Mirena, I have had very bad acne that has abscessed on my chin twice and now I have several painful pimples under my left axilla. I have no energy and feel very fatigued. I do also feel very bloated and have gained weight. I have a history of migraines and have had an increase since I had the Mirena inserted. I have never had children and the whole insertion process was very painful. I called my OB/GYN and
he felt I should see a dermatologist to treat the acne. The heck with that, I
am going to have the Mirena removed. I want to feel better. 4 months of this
torture is too many. I wish I would have found this site before I had the IUC
placed. I don't know what other options I can try, but the Mirena is not for
me.

I've been on this pill for about 3 months and I have ALL of the same problems as everyone else. I am extremely tired all the time, Ive become depressed and all I want to do is lay in bed. Ive completely lost my sex drive and Ive gained about 15 pounds. I completely stopped working out which used to be a daily routine for me because I am so exosted and I sleep about 10 hours every night. I don't feel like doing anything and my skin is dry and scaly. I have pimples on my legs & back which i have never had before. and to top it all off i am anxious and extremely depressed. I am going off this pill now that I know what is causing everything, I have NEVER had any of these problems before taking this pill. Im going off BC completely.

I was really happy that a little light went off in my head and I decided to research Aviane and Alesse. I have suffered from depression in the past and that is why my family physician had prescribed this low dose birth control. As I am approaching menopause years this was intended to level out hormones as I was beginning to experience increased troubling and symptomatic times of the month. I am only half way through my second packet and I have just experienced the worst week I have had in a long time. I didn't want to get out of bed, I am desperately sad, anxious about the future, crying uncontrollably, and have had an outbreak of pimples the likes of which I have never had in my life. Oh, did I mention hot flashes? I thought the tightening waistband was the depression and inertia, and I thought the depression was due to the regular suspects this time of year; lessening daylight hours, ANOTHER birthday on the way, dysfunctional Christmas to mention a few. This was no regular bout of seasonal depression I realized while crying last night for Will Farrell's hard luck in Taledega Nights.

I've just returned from the pharmacy and the pharmacist agrees with my decision to stop taking the pill immediately and contact my doctor first thing tomorrow. I hope there is an alternative pill, but after the week I just had I think I can put up with a day or two or bitchy rather than an entire month of being a fat, cranky, pimply, curled up ball of useless.

Thanks for having the information available, it seems like there are more stories than not about what I have experienced.

I have had Mirena now since August 29th '08. I was one of the people that was lucky enough to not experience any pain what so ever when it was inserted. Not a single bit of discomfort at all!!! I did have my period though so that may have had something to do with it. But ever since I've had Mirena I've gained 12 pounds, my husband and I fight all the time, we have been together for 15 years and haven't fought this much as long as we've been together, I'm always depressed lately which is weird for me at this time of year because until Christmas I love this time of year!! I've had a few anxiety issues, I don't sleep at night, my poor kids I snap over the stupidest things, the fatigue oh my the fatigue. I've had sleeping problems for many years now but I can't even sleep on sleeping pills most nights either and I could before. The last couple of weeks now I've experienced gas (I mean gas very regularly) out of the blue didn't think that had to do with Mirena but then I started reading this site, some days I'm constipated others I don't stop going. It seems I get the "spotting" one week straight done for a few days then here it is again. My husband feels it when we have intercourse. If and when we have intercourse these days it's not enjoyable for me and not him either, he can tell it's not enjoyable for me, let alone he can feel the thing. I have a very clear completion (normally only get acne at that time of the month and only a couple), lately I've broken out along my hair line, getting pimples in spots I didn't know you could get them. And with the weight gain and acne it makes me feel real good about myself. I look like I'm pregnant again some days. And I'm bloated all the time. Oh the one I almost forgot about the hot flashes, I'm 31 years old having hot flashes.
I was thinking that my body just needs to "adjust" to this thing inside me, but after reading this why wait and make it worse with more symptoms I don't have yet?! Like the cysts, I guess as far as I know I don't have them yet.
I just want to feel like myself again. I'm a happy person, normally motivated to clean my house, normally don't feel like I have a grey cloud over my head, I hate feeling like I have a scowl on my face all the time. These are the memory making years for my kids, do I want them to remember the always crabby yelling mommy? No I don't. Well I'm gonna go cry now and call my doctor to have it removed. Thank you for having this site it's made me feel like I'm not going crazy and it's not just me! And you know what I will respond back in a few weeks after having it out and let you know if I've gotten rid of any the "side Effects" the doctors claim have nothing to do with Mirena!

I started the pill about 2 months ago..and wow do i regret it..when i first started it i had migraines that lasted for hours..i mean before i used to get them but it was when i was stressed out or something but they would go away..i barely ever got acne on my face and now i have huge red pimples that last for days on random places on my face..i have gotten my period like 3 times already and it sticks around for so long..lately i been feeling like everything in my life is wrong like no matter what i do it just gets worse..i don't even go out on the weekends anymore because im so tired..i sleep about 12 hours a night and im still tired..i go to the doctor and they tell me im fine that my immune system is fine and theirs nothing wrong with me..so i came to my conclusion that its the pill..its caused for me to be so moody that my relationship with my boyfriend has hit the worst..and now to top it off i started getting some weird rash type of marks on my body that tend to look like hickeys fading away..i got the last 4 pills to go and im done with them...i took them for 2 months and thats it im going to to try a different method..depression and anxiety and fatigue are not worth it..
so for most girls reading this blog think twice about it before taking this pill and if right off the bat you start struggling with these type of symptoms i recommend you stop taking them.

I got mirena almost two years ago and my periods defiantly got lighter. They only last like 3 or 4 days, but after finding this site i know now that all the other stuff is caused by my magic birth control. I started to get pimples all over my face and i never had acne even as a teenager. I have sore breasts and they feel like they double in size for about a week and a half every month. I have mood swings so bad that my fiance thinks im crazy and need to see a doctor. I have noticed that i loose about two handfuls of hair a day in the shower, i have gained probably 40lbs and my life style is no different now then before i go mirena. My back hurts all the time, i noticed that i have facial hair that i never had before, and i feel depressed a lot of the time. I am glad i found this cite because now i know it is the mirena and im not just crazy.

Ladies, I thought it was just me and my moody body, but after reading the above posts I know its this alien Mirena in me, I don't know how I put up with it for the past 2 years but enough is enough. The bad thing is I just lost my job and insurance, any ideas where I can get it removed, I am in Florida. The worst part is the lower back pain the pimples started about 2 months ago and the pain shooting up and down my thighs and not to mention the hair loss at the back of my head. I am so ready to sue the manufacturer for real.

I am so happy to have found this site, I only wish I would have researched prior to having Mirena inserted. I have had The Mirena IUD for nearly three years. I thoroughly enjoyed having decreased flow and some months not having a period at all. However now I realize its probably one of the worst decisions I ever made. Only recently have I come realize that my fatigue, inability to concentrate, loss of memory, lack of interest in anything including sex, weight gain, constant yeast and bacterial infections were most likely due to the IUD and not due to anything that I was doing wrong. I have had bouts with depression and have been on meds for that, however it seemed like I was a basket case, over anxious and often times a nervous wreck. There were days recently where I was lethargic, lacked motivation to do anything. Then I'd have a good day, a day where I felt energized and thought, well maybe it was just the gloomy weather. Now I have come to realize it had to be the IUD. That is the only thing that makes sense. I made an appointment and got the IUD removed yesterday and already I can tell a difference in the way I feel. I woke up this morning feeling well rested for the first time in three years. I am looking forward to getting back to the "old me" rather than just a shell of of person that lacked motivation to do anything. I wish I would have investigated further and not listened to my Nurse Practitioner all these years that told me over and over that my symptoms were not the cause of the IUD.

I have been on Yasmin twice now, with a 6 month break while using Yaz (got free samples). The first time was for about 2 years. Now it's been 5 or 6 months. Both times, I have had the following side effects, but did not realize they were the pills fault, until I started taking it again -- and noticed the trend. These side effects are particularly bad the first 3-4 months of Yasmin, and then my hormones seem to level out...

1. Weight gain. I have gained 5 pounds since restarting Yasmin this summer. I am dieting and exercising, and I think that if I weren't fighting as hard as I am, my weight gain would be significantly higher.
2. Facial and random body hair. Ok, gross and embarrassing. I have had random chin hair pop up, and one strange chest hair that comes right before my period. These were not an issue while on Yaz, or after my body became accustomed to Yasmin last time. I am not normally a hairy woman. Seriously!
3. Pimples. These were the worst pimples I have EVER gotten, and had to visit a dermatologist for serious medicine to counter my acne. I literally have ACNE SCARS from the huge, severe cystic acne that I have while on this pill. I do not normally wear makeup, but no makeup could cover these HUGE zits! This is awful for the first 3-4 months, and my skin flairs up on the 3rd and 4th week of the pill still. People didn't even know they were pimples, as they were so big and red. Beyond pimple size. I don't know how to explain this well enough -- literally quarter sized. I am currently on my last week of pills for the month (week before period) and have a large cystic pimple that doesn't even look like a zit, because of it's size!
4. Heavy, inconsistent periods. My period last month lasted 4-5 days (about average for me). I bled through tampons and actually had to double up. For example, I changed my tampon right before I left the house for work one day. I got to work (30 minutes) and had bled through my heavy tampon, panty liner, underwear, and into my jeans. This is NOT acceptable!
5. Grumpiness. Yes, I'm a bit grumpier and more emotional than usual, but counter that with increased exercise (also to fight the weight gain).
6. Sex drive. Point blank: I have not had an orgasm since being on this pill. I'm a married woman, and that would be nice to have once in a while.

What shall I do about this? Nothing. Apparently Yasmin is supposed to be the best pill out there for weight gain, acne, and facial hair. So, they are telling me that other pills would be even worse...? Does ANYONE have a useful suggestion for a new birth control pill that will have fewer side effects?

Okay...so I first posted the day I had Mirena inserted, Oct. 1. ( and had wished i found this site prior to installment)
It has now been two weeks. So lets up date:
I bled for only a few days, maybe 5 days tops. Which was great, I just thought " hmm maybe I'm a lucky one, maybe they put it in right, or maybe my body is handling it better than I though it would" But then 5 days later I started bleeding again.
Like I said, I have had this thing in for TWO WEEKS.. and I've had sex.... TWICE! I don't even want to have sex, no wonder it is so good for birth control.
The first time was great. My boy friend didn't feel anything, and was enjoyable for the both of us.
Needless to say, the second time was great... until it was over.
The second it was over, I was doubled over in pain. Literally, 30 seconds after sex, I had a severe hot flash, and felt like i couldn't breathe. I started shaking, and started crying. I felt like the " insertion part" was happening allllll over again. ( insertion, is miserable.. that alone makes me not want to recommend it to ANYONE) I thought i was going to pass out, and standing felt impossible, I couldn't even roll over. A few minutes later I stood up and went to the bathroom, I was nauseated and felt sick. I tried to pee, and couldn't. It just burned and felt like my whole body was trying to squeeze this thing out.
I went back to bed and layed there for about 45 minutes in agonizing pain. My fiance was so sad, he felt completely guilty that he "caused" the pain... he thinks it should be removed immediately. And so do I.
The one word to describe this pain was INTENSE.

To add, I have noticed dry, itchy skin. And my skin is now sooo fragile. My scalp is sooo itchy that when I scratch I actually bleed and scab.. it is DISGUSTING. And yes, my hair is slowly getting worse. Everyday I notice a little bit more shedding than usual. My complexion is not getting WORSE, but the few pimples I have are deep, painful, and are actually scaring. Never before did I scar.

I also feel the extreme fatigue, and occasional mood swings, I will admit, I have Always had an attitude but this is a little more than even I am willing to except.
I have not gained any weight, but it's only been TWO WEEKS and, I have intentionally weighed my self everyday... and I am now fluctuating 6 lbs a day in water weight.My belly is 23/7 bloated. The only time I am not bloated is after the first pee in the morning for about 45 minutes, and then it starts allllllll over. People have noticed my fingers are chubbier, and are sore. For 2 days my toes and feet were a light blue-ish color... that "symptom" was enough to make me WANT to go to the E.R. but I opted not, as there was no discomfort.
A major discomfort, like i said was sex, and the random times throughout the day when I bend over or wiggle into a chair... it just feels like it is STABBING the right side of my body. There is truly no comfortable way to sit without favoring my right side.
It is weird, painful, and is getting really old.
I tried calling my doctors all day today, and it was still left on their " night time recording" so, I am a little angry.
I thought about pulling it out myself, but this time I read " REAL PEOPLE INFORMATION" and apparently its not a good idea. SO DON'T, if your thinking about it. lol.
Anyone that has had it removed, is it painful? Does it feel anything like the insertion? I am scared to death.. and I am a little upset that i have to continue to wait to get through to my nurse practitioner. I just want this to be over with. The last thing I need is to have it get " lost" like so many other women.
I tried, but I'm listening to my instincts, and this just isn't right.

I am on the third pack of Femcon, switched from Ortho Tri-Cyclen because my periods were too long. I can't say I have any major side effects, no depression, no wackiness etc., One that I do have is breast tenderness, my boobs blew up like balloons and I do have major skin/chin problems that no dermatologist can help me with for the last few weeks. I couldn't figure it out what it was from but I think it might be from the pill. Never had any skin problems, acne and all of the sudden my chin breaks out badly, not pimples more like under the skin red bumps. Anyone with the similar problem???? HELP.

If I had gone online first I never would of taken this medication. I too needed to be treated for UTI and was given this. I became constipated for 2 1/2 days and on the 3rd day at night I started to itch uncontrollably. Next day, I am covered in hives/rash all over the body. All red little pimples and parts of my body/face burn. It seems it is all over the internet but the pharmacist gave it to me casually anyways.

Last December '07 I had the mirena put in and this summer I noticed that I had NO sex drive what-so-ever in addition to the cyst-like pimples on my face. I got it out about a month ago (Sept '08) and I think things are starting to even out but now I have an odorous discharge that I've never had before. Does any body know should I go to the OB or will it go away on it's own?

I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND THIS PILL! This pill is the reason why I will never use birth control again! It altered my life completely, and changed ME for the worse. I had the WORSE ACNE on this pill! It is supposed to clear up minimal acne (which I barely ever had pimples) but it gave me so many! My face is still recovering from the acne, months of being off the pill! I suffered depression, migranes, cramps, bloating, feeling more hungry, and I was always MOODY. I could be in the best mood then start crying because of the stupidest, most little thing. My boyfriend could not tolerate me on this pill, it jepordized our relationship! I was so depressed and upset on this pill that I cried all the time! I'm normally a happy person 100% of the time, but this pill caused me to be a complete bitch! I only took two packs of this pill and it changed my life drastically. Never take this pill!!

I have a couple of questions. I stopped taking Yasmin 16 days ago and since then I've been feeling like I'm gonna get a cold. I have the symptoms but I never get the actual cold. Weird.

Also, I haven't been craving any chocolates and desserts at all. And I used to want _a lot_ of sweets every day while I was on the pill. Hey, I'm not complaining I just thought that was weird too. Hopefully I can loose about 5 lbs, 2 kilos, no problem then.

Other than that I haven't noticed anything different really. I suppose it takes longer than 2 weeks to get the benefits of being off the darn pill?

i had mirena put in about 5 weeks ago. it didn't even hurt going in or anything. i honestly didn't feel it....i had my share of light cramping about 2 hours after. and i've bled on and off some but it has never been bad. its not written anywhere that you won't have your period just most people won't. i haven't gained weight. i've gotten a few pimples but everything else about me is the same as b4. i've had such bad reactions and everything else with the pill,depo shot,the ring. mirena is so far the best i've tried. i see a lot of people on here have problems. but i honestly think this is the best thing that has ever happened to me. i feel better than i ever have. i can deal with a couple pimples for the knowledge that i am protected. i have been with my fiance for 3 years and we have 3 children (1 was mine b4 we got together) neither of us wanted surgery and we agreed that maybe later on we would like children and i looked into it and i really did think it was going to be horrible but given i had such bad reactions with everything else that was expected. but i was wrong. not everything or everyone on here is wrong but there are some people like me who don't have any problems at all and are very happy with this. i just wanted others to hear my experience and know not all is bad. you don't know till you try.

Ok i have read some of the post and now i am a bit scared about what i have done to myself. I had this put in Sept 23 2008 so i have only had it for about a week. I have two children 18 months old and 2 months old i am 22 years old and cant afford to have any children let alone any more children. So i chose mirena since i got pregnant with my children on the pill and the patches pill with my last one and the patch with the first one.

I paid 878.38 to have it put in and so far i have noticed that i have some poking and sometimes stabbing pain in that area and i have really bad gas and i am afraid to push to have a bm scared that i might push it out since the cervix is still dialiated. so far i don't want to have it removed but wanted to know.

Has anyone had it fall out?
and also what about weight gain, face compelxion,

Im not so worried about sex drive i didn't have one with my boyfriend before i had it put in. I lost my sex drive after i had my daughter who is 2 months old i actually lost it before i had her so thats not a major concern of mine that i think has a lot to do with bi polor anyways and the meds i take. And i haven't noticed any changes in depression maybe because i already take 3 different meds for manic bi polar syndrome.

I have notice some pimples popped up on my chest in the last few days but i thought that could be due to the heat and i was out side for a few days doing a yard sale.

Does anyone have any advice.
