There is no such thing as a drug without side effects.Any time you take any kind of drug, you'll have side effects, which can range from minimal (barely noticeable) to severe.\nIf you ask any doctor, and  if he is honest with you, he will tell you the same thing.The only thing you could do to stop the side effects of the drug you're taking is to stop taking this drug, and have your doctor prescribe something else similar.

My mom suffers from exactly the same.  She has tried everything available to her and she has managed to control it, but of course, she was not able to reverse the deformations in her body.  She takes prednisone in very small dosages everyday, glucosamine and now fosamax for osteoporosis.  I think that what has also helped a lot is her physical therapy twice a week.  All together keep her still walking, although with a walker.  Can you provide additional details about that oil?

Pepto bismol!!!!!!!!!!! They sell some generic version of this to called pink bismuth which is cheaper. Or you can try Imodium; there is a generic version of that as well, keep taking either one until the symptoms go away. And keep drinking lots of water but make sure you eat a bland diet like toast and stuff like that! Good luck!

TriNessa is supposed to be therapeutically equivalent to Ortho Tri-Cyclen, it's just priced lower.  However, many women who have taken Ortho Tri-Cyclen and switched complained about its (TriNessa's) lack of efficacy and intolerable side effects.  The company's own clincal prescribing data states that only 8 pregancies occured in the 2,312 patients in the trials, but I hear a lot of complaints about this contraceptive.\n  \nMORE IMPORTANTLY - you should know that the following lots of Trinessa were recalled recently due to subpotentcy (the active Norgestimate component of TriNessa tablets fails stability assay):\n\nLot -- Exp\n4CM613 -- MARCH 2006; \n4CM614 -- MARCH 2006; \n4KM005 -- AUGUST 2006; \n4LM024 -- AUGUST 2006; \n4LM025 -- AUGUST 2006; \n4LM048 -- AUGUST 2006; \n4MM101 -- SEPTEMBER 2006; \n4MM109 -- SEPTEMBER 2006; \n4MM110 -- OCTOBER 2006; \n5AM165 -- OCTOBER 2006; \n5AM166 -- OCTOBER 2006; \n5CM286 -- JANUARY 2007; \n5CM294 -- JANUARY 2007; \n5CM295 -- JANUARY 2007; \n5DM359 -- FEBRUARY 2007; \n5EM416 -- MARCH 2007; \n5GM426 -- FEBRUARY 2007; \n5GM443 -- FEBRUARY 2007; \n5GM477 -- APRIL 2007; \n5JM547 -- MAY 2007; \n5KM623 -- MAY 2007; \n5LM657 -- MAY 2007; \n5LM658 -- SEPTEMBER 2007\n\nYou might want to consider going back on a name brand, just to be safe.

If you are talking about creatine....read the excerpt below then the link for the whole article...SafetyReturn to top \n\nThe U.S. Food and Drug Administration does not strictly regulate herbs and supplements. There is no guarantee of strength, purity or safety of products, and effects may vary. You should always read product labels. If you have a medical condition, or are taking other drugs, herbs, or supplements, you should speak with a qualified healthcare provider before starting a new therapy. Consult a healthcare provider immediately if you experience side effects. \n\nAllergies \nCreatine has been associated with asthmatic symptoms. People should avoid creatine if they have a known allergy to this supplement. \n\nSide Effects and Warnings \nThere is limited systematic study of the safety, pharmacology, or toxicology of creatine. Individuals using creatine, including athletes, should be monitored by a healthcare professional. Users are advised to inform their physician or other healthcare professional. \n\nSome individuals may experience gastrointestinal symptoms, including loss of appetite, stomach discomfort, diarrhea, or nausea. \n\nCreatine may cause muscle cramps or muscle breakdown, leading to muscle tears or discomfort. Weight gain and increased body mass may occur. Heat intolerance, fever, dehydration, reduced blood volume, or electrolyte imbalances (and resulting seizures) may occur. \n\nThere is less concern today than there used to be about possible kidney damage from creatine, although there are reports of kidney damage, such as interstitial nephritis. Patients with kidney disease should avoid use of this supplement. Similarly, liver function may be altered, and caution is advised in those with underlying liver disease. \n\nIn theory, creatine may alter the activities of insulin. Caution is advised in patients with diabetes or hypoglycemia, and in those taking drugs, herbs, or supplements that affect blood sugar. Serum glucose levels may need to be monitored by a healthcare professional, and medication adjustments may be necessary. \n\nChronic administration of a large quantity of creatine is reported to increase the production of formaldehyde, which may potentially cause serious unwanted side-effects. \n\nBased on a case report, creatinine may increase the risk of compartment syndrome of the lower leg, a condition characterized by pain in the lower leg associated with inflammation and ischemia (diminished blood flow), which is a potential surgical emergency. \n\nPregnancy and Breastfeeding \nCreatine cannot be recommended during pregnancy or breast-feeding due to a lack of scientific information. \n\nPasteurized cow's milk appears to contain higher levels of creatine than human milk. The clinical significance of this is not clear. \n\n\nInteractionsReturn to top \n\nMost herbs and supplements have not been thoroughly tested for interactions with other herbs, supplements, drugs, or foods. The interactions listed below are based on reports in scientific publications, laboratory experiments, or traditional use. You should always read product labels. If you have a medical condition, or are taking other drugs, herbs, or supplements, you should speak with a qualified healthcare provider before starting a new therapy. \n\nInteractions with Drugs \nIn theory, creatine may alter the activities of insulin, particularly when taken with carbohydrates. Caution is advised when using medications that may also alter blood sugar levels. Patients taking drugs for diabetes by mouth or insulin should be monitored closely by a qualified healthcare professional. Medication adjustments may be necessary. \n\nUse of creatine with probenecid may increase the levels of creatine in the body, leading to increased side effects. \n\nUse of creatine with diuretics such as hydrochlorothiazide or furosemide (Lasix®) should be avoided because of the risks of dehydration and electrolyte disturbances.

I was on Ortho Tri-Cyclen for about five years and had the same problem you did.  Normally, within three months, your body should adapt to the change and you should not have any problems.  However, my doctor told me that several other people that were on Ortho Tri-Cyclen also complained of the same problems I did (bleeding every two weeks, intense pain, heavy, etc.).  She switched to a lower dosage medication and it has been much better.  Give it some time, but if it has not gotten better within three months, do not hesitate and go back to the doctor.

Please, stay away from the meds. I've had two friends wind up in the emergency room from pills- not 'overdoing' it or anything. Try green tea, ginseng, anything natural
