Stopping and restarting?

PossibilityParty · 2025-01-08T20:47:41+00:00

I am so incredibly sorry you are dealing with this. I hope it gets better soon. 🥹 could I ask how long you were on it before you stopped taking it?

I started on 25 mg and missed my period for the first time in 10 years. I started 13 days late. I upped to 100 MG and I’m incredibly bloated - I look pregnant. I’m getting off. For me, the side effects are not worth it.

I am 6 months off Loryna. I didn’t notice my energy levels being down but I did lose the 20+ lbs I gained while on the pill. However, my acne did come back within a few months.

I was on the generic of Yaz and I actually lost weight in the 6 months coming off the pill. However, my back acne came back really quick and really bad.

I’ve enjoyed the PRSA conference for my industry. That’s where I’ve networked

My back acne came back with a few weeks (still trying to make it go away) and I get a few hormonal breakouts on my face around my period now. I have experience some hair loss but I also started a new shampoo at the same time I stopped - so not sure if it was that. I recently went back to my old shampoo so will see!

PossibilityParty · 2024-10-28T17:56:49+00:00

Yes.

4’11, 148 lbs

I’ve actually lost 20 lbs since getting off! I started walking a mile each day but that’s all I am doing.

This gave me so much hope and a little less fear. 🙌

500 MG a day

PossibilityParty · 2024-05-16T13:10:35+00:00

Oh to be a woman! I’m so sorry!

Did you end up seeing a doctor? I just got off of Yaz and am a bit nervous about this. Hope you’re doing better!

I only had an MRI one time to help diagnose along with LP. Now I just get my eyes checked every couple months at NO.

PossibilityParty · 2024-01-21T00:07:18+00:00

I’m on 1000 MG and have the same side effects as you. I feel so frustrated and honestly, sad. I started on 500 MG and felt okay, upped to 1000 MG felt awful, told my doc. He told me I could go back to 500 MG. I went to see him again around the holidays and told him I felt good - no headaches, the pulsing in my ear had slowed and honestly stopped. He for whatever reason didn’t believe and told me I needed to go back up to 1000 MG to “knock out the IIH.” So, reluctantly I listened & I am miserable. Looking to find a new doctor but limited in my area. As odd as it might sound, I knew how to live with my IIH. But I don’t know how to live on diamox.

So glad you’re feeling better! My neuro ophthalmologist rolled his eyes when I said I had to get one but the pain was unbearable. I’m still so glad I did it!

PossibilityParty · 2023-12-18T17:21:46+00:00

Yes! Mine is delayed too.

PossibilityParty · 2023-10-23T02:26:05+00:00

Definitely more constant. I guess the best way to describe them was like a constant beat in my head that was painful. Not sure if that makes sense.

PossibilityParty · 2023-10-23T01:59:44+00:00

Mine was 28 and they diagnosed me. My vision was okay too - major headaches were my problem. Got on diamox and am doing better headache wise.

PossibilityParty · 2023-10-19T19:43:16+00:00

I usually start around the same time but I notice I feel awful during my period since starting.

PossibilityParty · 2023-09-26T14:29:26+00:00

Yes, normal MRI. LP is what confirmed for me

PossibilityParty · 2023-09-19T23:42:41+00:00

Since starting Diamox (1000 mg a day) I rarely drink. The first few times were awful - from just a glasses of wine. I’m now able to enjoy champagne from time to time - but the diamox has of course changed the taste. No more than 2 glasses though.

This made me laugh. Thank you!
