Avatar f tn I would never recommend taking Ortho Evra to anyone!!! I was on it for just over a year with no complications when I started to have symptoms like the ones you mentioned. I was convinced someone was going to kill me and I hated being home alone. The symptoms got worse and all of a sudden I had horrible pregnancy symptoms and began having really serious anxiety attacks and was so depressed I couldn't get out of bed.
7019649 tn?1396792517 t end up pregnant again until I quit using it, I believe I gained weight on it though, its one of the side effects but I seem to be prone to gaining weight every time I'm on birth control.
Avatar f tn I am currently on the implanon but will be switching to the ortho evra patch . What are some thoughts or opinions on this birth control ? Is there anything bad you experienced or maybe some good effects to it ? ADVICE ?
Avatar f tn Hello, All your symptoms are the side effects of the birth control ortho evra patch. The Ortho Evra birth control patch releases a high amount of estrogen into the bloodstream—60% more than from birth control pills—which is known to increase the risk for blood clots.These blood clots occlude the blood vessels as thrombi and if they get dislodged and occlude the blood vessels at some other site,they are called emboli.
Avatar f tn The Nuva ring is amazing, that's what I'll go back on when I have my baby! I have visual migraines so I have to be on a low dose birth control, and I LOVED my Nuva ring! Most people worry about if they put it in wrong, but I never had an issue with it! Put it in for 3 weeks, and take it out a week! Plus if you want to take it out to have sex the hormones stay in your body for up to 2 hours!
11195379 tn?1427921527 m not planning on taking anyone because of all the side effects and i just saw that a lady suffered a stroke due to the birth control she was taking
Avatar f tn The advice I would give any women who are considering this is to take the add-back pill. The only side effects I had were weight gain, and headaches. I did not have any hot flashes, joint pain, night sweats, periods, cramping or anything. If I was able to take it again I would! After this I was put on Ortho Evra to not get periods, but soon hopefully will be trying to get pregnant.
Avatar n tn I am 19 years old and I am using Ortho Evra patch for contraception and I have been for five months. I have never been pregnant before, but I am beginning to think I have some symptoms even though I have NOT missed or had any late/irregular periods. -I've been feeling a pulse in my stomach especially when I lay down and press on the mid part of my stomach just above the belly button.
Avatar n tn So on my sixth month do we tcc on our own or try IUI again? She also informed me that the side effects of lupron will be like going thru menopause( night sweat, hot flashes, joint pain). Do u think that will be able to take vitmains that would releive all those side effects? Does anyone know what % of women get pregnant with endometriosis? Thanks for any advice that anyone can give me.
Avatar f tn However, over the past few years I believe that ortho-tricylen has caused me to gain weight and feel extra anxious. My pill pack is ending this sunday and I was toying with the idea of stopping my birth control all together to see if the symptoms were indeed from ortho-tricylen. My ideal solution would be to find a pill with lower symptoms but this has stumped my gynecologist and primary physician, as a lower dose pill seems to cause spotting for me.
Avatar f tn Hi, I'm on my second month of ortho evra patches and I think I may be pregnant. I have swollen breast and they're tender, I have veins on my breast, my lower back hurts, I've gotten sick every night for the past two weeks. My period was late last month and it was super light. I'm took a dollar store test and it said neg. I'm thinking maybe my "period" wasn't a period.
2177836 tn?1355173877 With my first i used the patch..but all birth control made me feel nauseated and pregnant so after 4 weeks i stopped using it. :/ this one im using mini pill!
Avatar n tn I just finished my first three weeks of Ortho Evra. I've now had the patch off for 6 days and have not started my period. Is this normal? I had a pap smear and internal exam done 4 days ago...would my doctor have been able to tell if I were pregnant?

Avatar m tn I had very sim reaction to that drug, They really did not know enough about this drug when it was first perscibed to paitiants , Topamax , Neuronton ,sorry type Os no glasses, GABA drugs can be used for many different reasons, For neurological pain, seizures, bipolar disorder,, at times they replace drugs like depakot as that drug has very negative side effects like wiegh gain tremmer,blood sugar problems ,etc, also depending on other drugs you are on it can and is used as a booster, so it may b
737515 tn?1252552423 I went from ortho tri cyclen lo, to ortho cyclen, to ortho tri cyclen. All of which have made me have anxiety. I was on the depo shot for years and beside minor bone loss i had no issues. Is there anyone who has had this problem and actually found an answer?? I am sexually active and not ready for a child at all.
Avatar f tn On the contrary I can tell you one I wouldn't recommend!! Ortho-Evra. Horrible. I was only on it for four months because I just couldn't take it, I was severely moody, depressed, low sex drive, and when I went off it, I swear if someone even looked at me funny I was in tears. I believe because it is only a weekly thing there were more hormones than say the Ortho-TriCyclen Lo would have. IMO, I've always felt the lowest dose is probably the best.
Avatar f tn You need to look at the full potential for side effects as well as potential complications that can be caused by BC. (For example Depo can cause bone loss) Any hormonal BC can cause weight gain, among several other side effects. The only BC that doesn't is Paragard because its nonhormonal.
Avatar f tn What is your favorite birth control ? Least favorite ? Ugly side effects ? Ill be 26 weeks in a few days and wanna start thinking about if i want to take BC and whst kind i want.
Avatar n tn Hi there, I may be able to advise the exact treatment only after I examine you. There are many new pills available in the market with lesser side effects of weight gain, mood changes etc.Birth control pill containing Drospirenone and ethinylestradiol may be helpful since they have lesser side effects. Drink plenty of water everyday and avoid oily fried foods to prevent acne. For more queries and assistance do consult your gynecologist before starting any new pill. Keep me posted.
Avatar f tn I did get a big weight gain from Lyrica ... 15 pounds in two weeks. Plus a few other side effects. When I came off it, the weight came off too, except for a pound or two. When my daughter did an oral course of steroids for asthma, she GAINED a ton for a little kid. She got that "moon face"look (so did my mom when she was on it.) She was constantly hungry ...nothing would fill her up. Poor little thing. I remember her asking me why.
Avatar f tn The deposit shot is good but the only things are is you can either not have a cycle for three months or it can cause you to have one for the three months straight. And it makes you gain weight I went for 110 to 150 while I was on it for only 6 months.
Avatar n tn I had my lap surgery in August 09, and have been on continuous BC since October 09 and my period (or breakthrough bleeding) hasn't stopped since I switched over - now going on 7 months! Previously I was taking Ortho-Tri-Cyclen Lo and since October I've tried Ortho Cyclen, Necon 1/35 (Ortho-Novum), Apri (Desogen), and now Zovia (Demulen). Sorry if this has been asked before, but does anyone who has tried taking continuous BC to stop their period have any insights on how long it took?
1246883 tn?1285547973 Hi, welcome to the forum, seroquel is known to be associated with weight gain. There is significant weight gain is seen, in such cases usually other anti psychotics are prescribed. The weight gaining effect of this drug will not persist after discontinuation. Any associated condition should be looked for. If there is a change in voice (Voice becomes dusky), weight gain, intolerance to cold etc. You need to get your T3, t4 and TSH level checked as it may be in initial phase.
Avatar f tn My side effect of taking the other remedy was weight gain. I gained 9 kg and now my weight is stuck at one point and is not decreasing. Does anyone have a similar problem?
