Talk to your doctor.  Herbal medications can be dangerous, too, so be careful.  My wife takes Valerian to sleep, but she was told not to use it too often.  Check with the doc.

I have taken it for two months straight (I have just stopped this month because my bf went abroad)- I have had no skin darkening whatsoever. Just do not expose yourself too much to sun if it is true. I have never heard about that before, and so far, yasmin went well for me. It's better than the other pill I have taken, although it is kinda expensive. I had lesser pimples too and did not particularly gain weight. Actually for me, my skin got better. If others have experienced otherwise, then I guess the effect depends from person to person.

Eat turkey, it's supposed to put you to sleep because it contains a chemical that helps you to relax, if you don't want to eat every night go to a health food store and ask for valerian root, it is another well-known herbal sedative recognized for its ability to overcome insomnia and promote quality sleep. Valerian's sleep-inducing properties are so effective that it is actually medically recognized as the herbal equivalent of Valium. But to be warned, try to get it in pill form because as a tea it is horrible tasting and smells like dirty socks but it works great, it makes you nice and relaxed and sleepy. Do not take if you are pregnant or have a pre-existing condition as with any herb, it is a drug and should be researched before using. Also try a sound machine from Walmart they have automatic timers and helps you sleep. Nighty night.

Be careful taking so much Apirin each day..it is not just a pain reliever..it is also what is termed..anti-coagulant. It thins the blood and makes you suceptible to bleeding and easily bruising. My advice as a registered nurse is to go to your doctor and explain what has been going on. They can then order the appropriate blood work up and talk to you about the results and things to do regarding your health. Tell them about your familial history too, it is important. Stay safe and get cracking to the doctor ok..:)

I have been taking Lexapro for a few months now. I am a 37 year old female. I have experienced no side effects that I can think of and it seems to be really making a difference in my life in a very positive way. I have been on many different medications of this type and  Lexapro is one of the best. Everyone is different though   and it  will take some time before you really know for sure if Lexapro is a good choice for the patient. \nGood luck.

I was given this drug when I had poison ivy, what are you taking it for???\nI would think it is dangerous for a baby, doesn't your doctor think so???\nI would get off of it as soon as possible if you are pregnant...\nIt is a strong drug...\nThey wouldn't let me have it very long...

I am slightly younger than you but have had a lot of success with Black Cohosh (a natural herb found in Health Food Stores).  Several ladies I work with tried it after me and they also had good success with it.  It is an OTC and does not appear to have any side effects.\nI started out taking 2 a day and increased to 6 a day before mine stopped.  I do not take hormones and if I stop taking Black Cohosh, my hot flashes return.

Don't do it.  I took the welbutrin for 1 week, I started hearing voices, I couldn't sleep, I had horrible stomach pains, vomiting and I only stopped smoking because my stomach hurt so bad.  Try cold-turkey it works the best.  If you do wind up taking the welbutrin stop taking it if you experience any side effects, it is a bad drug for some people.\n\nI don't want to scare you, but I think I should've asked before I took it-- so here, I found this post on line:\n\nI took Welbutrin for 12 days. I started having severe kidney pain with blood in my urine. After a few days I had severe/Exruciating pain in my whole body, Back, side, chest, Arms, It felt like every organ in my body was going to explode. I Also had some very disturbing sensations running through my whole body. Heart palpitations, shortness of breath. I can't begin to tell you how much pain and anxiety i was experiencing. I went to numerous different Emergency rooms and doctors in a 3 week period, and every one of them couldn't find anything wrong with me. Actually I believe they all thought I was crazy. They run all sorts of blood tests and xrays and found nothing. Finally a doc said it is possible that it was a toxic effect from the Welbutrin. I know that it has something to do with Welbutrin, I'm not sure what it was doing to me, but It almost killed me. Today, almost 5 weeks after stopping the drug, I am still not well. I still have pain in my back and arms and some weird and VERY disturbing sensations that come and go (I believe it is nerve damage) and suffer from constant dizziness and fatigue. I will see a neurologist in 2 weeks. I hope this is something that can be treated. If not my life is totally ruined! I have never been sick in my life, and have always been very active. Now I can't even work around my house without getting totally exhausted. PLEASE be careful taking this drug! It has altered my life in a way that you could never imagine! I wanted to quit smoking so bad that I ignored the side effects I experienced the very first time I took it. I will live to regret that for the rest of my life.

YEP you sure could have!  Go to the GNC store near you and get Valerian root and take two three times a day along with your choice of pain reliever.  It will help.

Hello. I took it for 3 months about 8 years ago, lost 50 pounds. of course i gained it all back plus more. so yesterday i got my new prescription for 3 months worth. I'm going to try my hardest to keep off what i lose...

That's actually a great question, and yes, I've been on the pill for about 3 years now, and at first I did have that problem. I was on ortho tricyclin, which I blame it on. Because it gradually decreases in strength each week, tricyclin pills tend to have adverse side effects n some people. Once I switched to Yasmin, I think it's called a monocyclin, it all got better. That specific pill gives you the same amount of hormone every day of the month. I've been less moody, and more interested, if you know what I mean. The bad part is that Yasmin does not yet have a generic brand so it is a bit more expensive, but I'd totally recomend it. My doctor switched around my prescription right when I said I was feeling moody. \n\nBut then again, I may be totally off.

Valerian Root, you can get it at walmart it's with the vitamins.  I used this, works great, but it will put you to sleep.  Also soaking in a tub of hot water with 1 cup table salt, 1 cup sea salt and 1 cup of Epsom salts for 30 mins will help with the spasms.  As for an anti-inflammatory, if you can leave them alone I would, my kidneys are shot from using too many.  Good luck!

ask the Doctor what side effects if any there may be for you if you do decide to go for it anyway. You may need to go on HRT, this may cause you more pains if they are hormone related.\n\ni am 23 and would consider it, because my periods are few and far between but when i am on i can be on for months. so i know what you are going through. I to can't take the pill as it gives me chronic pains and i can't walk however my test came back normal and i went for a scan, apparently there's not much else they can do.

I was on it about 3 months ago for 5 days and had a normal period when it was over (actually alot lighter than normal). I would get in to see your dr. immediately! Don't let them give you the run around!!
