Side Effects for Carboplatin (carboplatin)
Regimen of weekly Taxol for 18 weeks, Carboplatin added on the third week for 6 cycles. I am doing much better on the Taxol than the combo. Last week I began the second round with both drugs and felt like I'd been hit by a train. The major symptom is extreme fatigue. Physically tired and muscle fatigue. Some days it was difficult to climb a small set of stairs. Today I had just the Taxol, but had low white blood cell count and very low blood presdure. The dr. Finally approved the chemo, but I'm worried that I won't bounce back after the large dose in 2 weeks. I really dread showing up for that treatment as my oncologist informed me during my last visit that I would feel much worse as time progresses.

I tapered on over several days; I'm on 20 mg. I may have had a bit of the yawning thing early on, but other than that, it's worked great for me. My life is still really stressful right now due to several family issues; before starting Celexa, it was rare for me to smile, and if I started crying it was really hard to stop. I had NO desire for sex, and not even for fun leisure activities. Now I smile and laugh. I still have times that I cry, but it doesn't last so long and I don't feel so hopeless. And I'm interested in having fun again.I'd recommend it; just taper on and try the lowest dose that helps.
Excessive washing worsens the acne. The acne simply resolved when I let my skin oils naturally balance. Strange but true. When you wash your skin too much (hair included!) it stimulates the glands to produce more oil. Pain relievers have no effect on the muscle and headaches.
hot flashes, severe migraine, nausea, vomiting
Topamax worked great for my daily headaches 100mg a day, I lost 20 pounds which was also great! BUT the side effects made me give it up. I could handle the tingling and the aching. But the stupidiness was unbeleivable, I would forget the simpilest things and at the worst time. And then the phantom bladder infections started after 3 months, symptoms would last 2 - 3 days and then go away, this would happen 2 -3 times a month. This was the final straw for me even though my doctor could not say it was because of the topamax, I knew it was. Sure enough I weaned off the topamax and have not had a "bladder" infection since.It has been 8 months.
all women react differently with every birth control. There are so many negative reviews out there that I felt the need to tell MY story. I absolutely LOVE my nuvaring. I've never experiences headaches, nausea, weight gain, ANYTHING at all because of it. I also have never had it come out during sex, which I read happens for many people. It's been incredibly effective this whole time, I only rely on my ring as my form of birth control and always always always get my period on time. I love that I don't feel it at all, it's extremely comfortable and I only have to think about it two DAYS a month: to take it out and to put it back in.My advice is to TRY IT. It may be as amazing for you, too! :)
I started taking Norvasc after switching from Altace (an Ace inhibitor) because it was causing persistent coughing. I have been on Norvasc for a week. I have only felt flushing in my face so far and none of the other side effects.
sore/dry throat, headache, fatigue, bloating, dry eyes, hot flashes
