So update guys! I ended up getting the three month depo shot on Tuesday.I bent over the table and they jabbed me in the butt. The first day was fine but the second day I was sooo hungry. Like I was literally eating everything in sight. I tried the whole moderation thing but I'd eat and 20 minutes later I'm starving again.…

Thanks for the spell check! Haha but yes I loved my nurse. I even spoke to the dietician that was on call and she told me I should try a healthier diet even after saying a million times she's not a doctor lol. I will be going to my check up at the old place just to check up but I will most definitely be giving her a piece…

Thank you! I'm hoping I can start exercising again soon. I'm still eating well but I would like to start exercising soon as possible

I was absolutely weary about it. When she said that she was going to prescribe me drugs before even considering how I felt or what I had to say about it. She never told me about the side effects or what it is I'd be taking. "Your blood pressure is high I'm going to give you medicine" I was like really? That's how doctors…

Hey guys! I'm finally home! The doctor in the ER said I was severely dehydrated and gave me fluids intravenously. He also told me I should try to regulate my blood pressure through diet and exercise first before considering medications because my initial BP could have been from a poor diet. He advised me not to take the…

Thank you every one for your replies and concerns. I was sitting outside to hopefully cool off but I came back in and started sweating again. Decided to take the stairs to get a little cardio in and almost fainted so I'm omw to the ER. I'm not okay with how my body is reacting normal side effects or not. I wish everyone a…

I also brought that to my docs attention about me restricting my diet and making better choices cause my family are pork eating fools. I don't care for it but everything they cook has some sort of pork or salt in it. I literally ate a pork product for like a week straight. And if it wasn't pork it's beef. No lean meats.…

Yea that's all bad! I hope you get off a lot of them. Who likes taking medicine?! Esp copious amounts of the same thing. I read on the side effects sheet that boatloads of potassium weren't good while on BP meds. I get a lot of it from my foods yet you take a pill for it?

I was wondering why I didn't want to get out of bed this morning. And I'm a morning person! My dad came over and checked on me cause I was still in bed at 12 noon! I've been sluggish all day

I tried the salt thing and my BP is 83/54. I'm literally sitting outside trying to cool off and I'm still sweating a little. I tried sitting in front of the fan but at this point I'm worried more about dehydration. I can only drink so much water. Deff gonna take a trip to the ED if the sweating doesn't stop here in a few.…

I realize that, I planned on calling the ED anyways. First time on meds other than allergy pills, just wanted to see if my side effects were of the norm

I called my doctors office and the on call doctor told me to stop taking them and follow up on my next appointment. Which is Nov. 4th. Still doesnt change that fact that I feel like mierda and I'm sweaty!

I've actually been working out 2 weeks prior to me going in for my physical. I was wondering if it was my exercise regimen but I was only sweating during and after my workouts. But when i started the meds I noticed a huge change. I was fatigued on my run after 4 minutes. like I'm tired af I can't go anymore fatigued. and…

So my workout for tonight is definitely off right?

Haha it's cool! No harm no foul! But thanks

I take my BP meds when i wake up. I've literally been drinking water all day because I've been sweating so much. Had a Gatorade with dinner because I've been sweating much more the past 2-3 hours. I didn't know that I was supposed to be monitoring my blood pressure. It wasn't really an issue before and my doc deff didn't…

I get that... I just didn't know if anyone else had similar side effects from taking them. Also I think SHE should talk to HER doc about it. Its 9:11 pm on the east coast. The pharmacy is deff closed!

Lisinopril/ Hydrochlorothiazide - 20 mg/ 12.5 mg •They're in the same package but diff doses for each day. Don't know what I've taken so far cause its printed on the pill Propranolol - 10 mg tablets I would like to stop taking them because my short walk from my kitchen to my bedroom caused dizziness when I stood up and I'm…

I did read them, and they said to consult your doctor if I have the symptoms that I listed above. I can't call my doc. Should I call a different one???

YES PLEASE! No cake for me tho. I'll pass... No sweet tooth for me at all. Haven't had a birthday cake since I was 12

Yes I can check it. I never thought to do it, but if my pressure is low what can I do to raise it? I've eaten my dinner and I'm stuffed so I don't wanna eat anything else. Especially sugary things. I'm not a fan!

I've been reading your replies and it looks like the only reason you gain weight is because of increased appetite. So I will most likely be watching what I eat and tracking honestly. I want to lose weight and not have a baby! Water retention I'm okay with. I already take a diuretic. That should hopefully get rid of any…

I wish we could "like" posts!

OMFG! 80lbs?! Omg... I'm just now enjoying being out of the "threes"! Which is major motivation but the thought of getting it now deff scares me. Can you get an implantable device if you've never had kids? I guess I'll get the first shot for a month. At my OB/GYN there are two options for the shot. Monthly and 3 months and…

-Gender- Female - Age - 23 - Height- 5 ft 8 - Starting weight- 312 lbs - Current weight- 295 lbs - Goal weight- 175 lbs - Reason for losing weight? - I would be lying if I said I wasn't doing it to be smaller and have cuter clothes. Even tho I am over weight I have little to no health issues. However I want to be healthy

For those of you that it made you gain weight was it hard for you to lose the weight once you were on it or after you stopped? I know the whole calories in calories out make you gain or lose weight but did it slow down your metabolism?

Me too! I'm half Italian so I know all about carb over load. Are you worried about the whole "bone density" thing being an issue. I want this shot to work for me and not against me cause I'm determined to lose about 80 lbs by my birthday in April

Actually no I haven't. I'm 23 years old and I recently lost my virginity 2 months ago. I used a condom the first time but it wreaked havoc on my vagina. I was like oh nooo! My bf loves that we don't use them anymore and he constantly says (thanks to instagram and vine -_-) that his "pull out game too strong, ask my kids"…

me too! i found that it wasn't as hard as I thought. Loving the endurance that I've gained so far. I do it every day even though they say 3 times a week. I just repeat the last day. Realized last night that I'm covering more distance than when I first started. Idk if I actually plan to run a 5k though
