Side Effects for Quartette (ethinyl estradiol; levonorgestrel)
I don't recommend taking this at all if you have any history of depression. I lasted almost 90 days but had to discontinue use due to constant thoughts of suicide and apathy. I was genuinely concerned if I kept taking them, I would end up killing myself.

Do NOT! I repeat DO NOT take Quartette if you have any history of depression or anxiety. I had to quit after 7 days because the anxiety was so bad, I felt like I was going to lose it. After quitting, the anxiety got worse and mild depression set in. Thankfully I am already on an antidepressant (which I believe was counteracted by the Quartette). I have a feeling depression would be way worse if I wasn't already taking meds for it. Appointment with my psychiatrist next week to get this straightened out!!!

I was begun on generic Zocor 20 mg (simvastatin) about 6 yrs ago for high cholesterol. My total cholesterol 6 months ago was 164 with it. After dropping 24 lbs & with regular exercise, my total cholesterol went down to 124 (I have lost a total of 70 lbs over 3 yrs). As per my request, my doc dropped the Zocor 20 mg every day & will re-evaluate my cholesterol levels in another 6 months. I am totally pleased with how well Zocor worked for me !!!
I have tried several treatments for pain relief without success. About 2 months after I started taking Humira I started feeling relief. My pain level continues to decrease. I have been treated for depression for many years. This too has improved due to the decrease in my level of pain.

It has been wonderful for me. I am very satisfied with no sysmptoms except cough once in a while. Also, recently noticing floaters in my vision and again wondering if related.
Severe, debililtating bone and muscle pain. Neck and lower back pain. Difficulty getting out of bed. Extreme joint pain. Flu like symptoms.
Disgusting metallic taste, dry mouth, stomach pain. I took this medication about 8 years ago and had forgotten this symptoms. With just the first dose, I couldn't sleep, and the little time I could sleep I had very weird dreams and felt very anxious; I thought something aweful was about to happen.
Manic mornings after taking pill that settled down by noon. Weird electrical "zaps" in my head, light-headed feeling, gained 10-15lbs no matter how little I ate, feeling of invincibility.
