Avatar f tn I was orginally on Depo-Provera for 1 1/2 years (never had a period), switched to Seasonale (major nausea), then switched to Tri-Sprintec (my chest got huge on this pill), and then to Kariva (was great!). I was on Kariva for 10 months. I never took the placebo week, so I never had a 'period'. However, if and when I missed a pill or took it a little late, I always had spotting for a day or two.
Avatar f tn Hi- I am a 17 year old girl and I have been on birth control pills for a little over a year and a half now. I was originally prescribed Ortho-Tricyclen Lo but was switched to Kariva in May of this year because it was said to be the "less expensive generic brand" of Tricyclen Lo. I always felt a little more irritable and noticed my skin got a little more sensitive when I originally started taking the pill, but nothing too bad.
1063764 tn?1272821064 I am also on the birth control pill Kariva. I was told that they would not interfere with each other, however something is not right and I was just wondering if anyone out there could help me out. I can't get back to the endocrinologist for another 4 months for my next test, so I did not want to stop the medication. Does anyone know how long it stays in your body...I was considering not taking it for a few weeks just to see if this cleared up.
Avatar f tn orthotrycyclinn made me have two cycles a month but every pill they gave me did that instead of makeing my periouds lighter it made me have more and heavier ones, plus i lost a lot of weight on birth control i was on kariva, low loesestrin fe, abri, orthottycyclin, and two other ones all of them did the same thing they helped witht he cramps but i had more cycles than i was suppposed to.
Avatar f tn Do you think my body is adjusting to the low dose eventhough I was just on it the end of March (Loestrin 24) and April (Ortho Lo)? I'm confused and don't know if I should POAS. Oh and btw, YES I do have unprotected sex with my one and only loving partner and he does ejaculate in me. HELP PLEASE ANY SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE WONDERFUL!! Thanks.
975514 tn?1324997938 org, that describes the benefits of low dose Naltrexone [LDN]). It is also thought to act by restoration of the body's normal production of endorphins, and this is thought to be the major therapeutic action of LDN. Although Naltrexone is an FDA approved drug, LDN has not yet been approved by the FDA. Some patients apparently benefit from LDN, and there is a list of testimonials. There are, however, some cautionary declarations about LDN: 1.
Avatar f tn It's supposed to divert your immune system away from the bacteria. The thinking is that your body's immune response to the bacteria is what is causing your symptoms and that it is fighting a losing battle. It's a new treatment they say it has great success. It's pretty much the opposite of how we have been fighting the disease. However, I'm leary of essentially turning off my immune system towards the bacteria. Anyone try this with success?
757137 tn?1347196453 Is it possible to be come addicted to a low dose of Xanax? I take half of a 0.25 mg. pill in the morning and the other half in the evening, It is most helpful but I worry that I will need increasing doses as time goes by, or that I will suffer withdrawal if I quit. Does anyone have information on this subject?

683167 tn?1302879300 the problem with low dose naltrexone is there are no real studies been done to prove its affect ......... I know one person who started to take it and she said it took a while before she noted any affects about 6 months i think my memory isnt good any more. IF it makes you feel better after taking it could it mean that the drug makes you feel worse when you are taking it if you get my meaning? Sorry not very clear even in my head lol. This is a good web site all about it. http://www.

Avatar m tn I am on Kariva birth control. I missed 2 or 3 pills the week that i had sex. We used protection everytime except penetration once for like 30 but he did not ejaculate. I took plan b (the one pill version) between th 48 and 72 hour mark. It has been 2 weeks since and my period has been a couple days late and very very light (dark brown). I know that the plan b causes disruptions in menstrating and so does missing pills but id like to lnow if im just overly paranoid.
Avatar f tn These would include a high T4, a low free T3, and a low TSH. the low TSH frequently prompts doctors to lower your T4 type meds., causing your symptoms to get worse. You may require a change of prescription to one that includes both T4 as well as T3, such as Armour thyroid, or a combination of a T4 med. along with a T3 med.
Avatar f tn My doctor told me to start taking the Yellow pill (hormone pill) on the first day of my period which I found a little confusing as it is meant to stop your period. Anyway, I have now almost finished my first sheet and I am up to the White suger pills which bring on your period, but the thing is I have now had my period for over two weeks (the whole time I have been taking the pill) and I am worried as to why? I had sex a week before I went on the pill but I don't think I'm pregnant?
Avatar f tn The TSH is the best indicator of levothyroxine replacement therapy. The low TSH you mention means that you are on too much levothyroxine and the dose should likely be decreased to 175 µg.
Avatar m tn m a 21 year old who just stopped the pill after 5 years of being on it consistently. In October I was switched from Azzurette to Kariva, just a generic brand switch. I hated it and decided to go natural and stop the pill all-together around November 13. I got my "withdrawal period" right after.
Avatar m tn My tsh is 5.89. My t4 is .86. t3 2.28 It looks to me like t3 and 4 are low but why is tsh high? I have been on levothyroxine 25mcg for 5 days. Before I was just become very tired, although I do have many of the symptoms I found on the web that indicate low thyroid. Now I feel weak in my arms and legs and my tiredness feels like my body is drained.
470817 tn?1209567042 I have spoken with my doctor, and yes he is saying that I need to reduse my dose, it is what i am doing right now. But I want to know how bad it is for the health to have low T4., and what kind of simptoms I can have, as everybudy are saying simptoms, simptoms. What simptoms....
