Bad moods symptoms and conditions

I was on Nuvaring for close to four years and all was fine up until about 5 months ago - lots of bad moods, anxiety and just an overall feeling of sadness that I just couldn't kick. THEN I started to notice some hair loss. The hair loss reminded me of the post-baby hair loss I'd experienced three times, but it was much worse. I did some research on side effects and found only one medical website that listed hair loss. I read these posts and immediately removed the ring. I would never use it again, would not recommend it to anyone. I also find it deplorable that this side effect is not listed anywhere on any warning label!

im 27 and have 2 kids, i had the mirena put in after my 2nd child as ive always had very bad periods.i also have nerve damage in my stomach which gets irritated sometimes by the mirena.i have recently found out as im due 2 have my coil changed that after 5 yrs it could be expired and i might be pregnant. and after 5 yrs of bad moods and stomach pain i could be pregnant thats the only reason i got it in the 1st place was so i didn't get pregnant.ive also had overian cysts which i think are related to my coil as i haven't had a period in 5 yrs but the doc's keep telling me its nothing 2 do wit the mirena.im hoping to get it removed soon still debating on weather or not ill get a new one.

I've been taking Wellbutrin(300mg/day) and Seroquel (500mg/day) for two years. Wellbutrin gives me lots of anxiety. But it helps me kep trim (I went from 200lbs to 170lbs on Wellbutrin) and not smoke. It also helps stop obsessive compulsive thoughts. It really helps to keep me from staying in bad moods. I can't stay angry for long when im on wellbutrin. Only bad thing about it is the anxiety. If i have an important day ahead and i don't want anxiety, i'll simply not take the wellbutrin the day before and my anxiety levels will be much lower the next day.

Well, let's see, I am 37, I just had my third child a year ago. When I had my first child at 19, I entered the world of Rhumatoid Arthritis, I did not take anything for it, it just seemed to go away by itself. After the second child it flared up but not long enough or hard enough to remember. After the third child at 36, wow did it get bad, so bad i couldn't get her out of her crib. That was the day I started 10mg of pred a day,,it made all the symptoms of the RA almost disappear...almost...which was a miracle,,,but it made all the side effects of the med start,,,,weight gain BIG TIME, bad moods, maybe 2 hours of sleep @ night,,,hair loss which scares me the most, blurred vision, buffalo hump looks like I'm looking for something on the floor all the time,,a wonderful neck that looks like i swallowed a couple bananas whole,,hmmmm,,,,let's seeeeee,,what else, easy bruising thankfully I like the color purple, oh, and me and mr. potty have become well friends. At first, the doc thought it was hypothyroidism because I also had 2 periods a month, but a blood test told threw that theory out. I just want to say,,,,I like that my RA is better because of it,,,but I am as of yesterday taking myself off of good ol prednisone, and sticking to a high dose of IB or Tylenol. It's just not worth it.

\ i had mirena 9 months and that was enough i know myself very good, so when i started changing i knew it was mirena. i almost ruin my marriage, with my bad moods. but what worry me later was that if YOU BREASTFEED IT WAS WOREST, THIS IS WHAT I FOUND ON BEWARE REPORT ON MIRENA. I WAS VERY UPSET CAUSE I BREAST FEED MY CHILD AND MY DR. DID NOT INFORM ME THIS!

could find that followed breastfeeding infants exposed to levonorgestrel (Norplant) was done in Norway and found that they had higher incidence rates of respiratory infections, skin conditions and eye infections than the control group, and later were found to have a higher proportion of “neurological conditions.”

To me it’s unthinkable to even consider exposing a nursing infant to any type of progestin. I would call this a form of corporate sociopathy—marketing without a conscience to unwitting, under-informed women who are just trying to responsibly avoid an unwanted pregnancy. Since the FDA is unlikely to take action against this practice it’s up to the rest of us to spread the word.
IF YOU BREASTFEED AND HAVE MIRENA READ THIS ABOVE

I am so pleased i came across this site. I have been struggling with extremely bad moods, confusion and now even seeing a psychologist due to the bad thoughts I've had and can't explain. I've been paranoid with friends I've known for years distrusted and not had no reason to!! Have felt pretty mad!! I've also had a physical fight with my sister and we haven't fought since childhood (ahem, we are both in our thirties!). I can't concentrate, my memory is impaired and so slow on the uptake-my sense of humor has all but disappeared! I felt like a fattie and never had a gut and hip weight gain like this in my life. I simply don't eat enough to warrant the gain. Boobs, so sore, are now equaling the size of pammies, which if I had a sex drive to flaunt them it would be a good thing. I felt pratically asexual!! :(( No motivation, lack of drive at work..simply too much to cope with. Grinding my teeth, pain caused by doing so in my jaw.

So this is coming out pdq. I want my sanity back and not to mention my mind! I want to be ME again. :(

I am 26 years old, have a great job, boyfriend, friends and family. Everything was great until Oct. 1st, 2007 - the day I started taking Yaz. The first week, I would get into bad moods for no reason, and by the 4th month my life was spinning out of control. Actually, my mind was - my life was still near perfect. Here were my symptoms during this period: Panic Attacks, nausea, shaking, de-realization and so much more. There was a point where I was scared to live and scared to die. I didn't even want to leave my house. This is when I decided to see a psychiatrist who percribed me Klonopin (a form of Valium to get me through the days.)

I stopped taking YAZ The end of Jan 2008 (after I put 2 and 2 together), so I have been clean of it for approx. 2.5 months now. But the upsetting part for me was I thought the day I stopped taking the pill, was the day I would get my life back. Not so!!! I have been feeling a little better but I cry because I I still do not feel like my old self, which was happy, outgoing and full of energy. Does anyone know how long it takes to feel better? I hear 3 months, but I just want to know how long it took for someone to feel normal again. My anxiety is mostly gone, but now I just feel withdrawn and like my head is in a constant fog w/ extreme fatigue :(:(:(

Girls - I feel your pain. And I also see the other side, with the women that had sucess on this pill. My two closest friends were on Yaz and loved it! But for me, it took many months from my life and I am still not 100%. Thanks for everyone who shared. I think this is the first time I ever blogged on a web-site, and you girls gave me the encouragement to share my story. Please feel free to send me a personal e-mail for support.

I posted on here several months back. I got the Mirena taken out at the beginning of January after having it in for about 6 months. At first I loved it because I didn't connect all the symptoms I was having to the Mirena since my obgyn reassured me that there were no side effects with Mirena. I had many symptoms including severe insomnia, weight gain (about 40 lbs in 6 months), acne, facial hair, sharp cramps, back pain, just to name a few! After moving and getting a new dr I was able to convince her I needed it taken out. I lost 15 lbs in the first 10 days of having it out without trying (now I'm actually trying to get the rest off) and started sleeping better about 4-6 weeks later.

Anyway...now my problem is that I am not getting my period and I'm not ovulating. I had my period about 2 days after I got it taken out but haven't had another one since. My husband and I were so excited that first month of not having my period because we thought we were pregnant. MANY pregnancy and ovulation tests later we are worried we may never get pregnant. I am wondering if anyone else has had problems conceiving after getting Mirena taken out. Or if you were able to conceive, did it take a long time?

Am Kelsey, 30 years old mom of two first shot pregnancy kids - 31/2years old and a 20 months old. i had Mirena IUD inserted after my second baby and had it for 13 months. All was well save I was in very bad moods all the time.
After removal is now the nightmare. I used to get pregnant ONE SHOT - but first cycle was 40 days anovulatory, second cycle was 37 days anovulatory, third cycle I ovulated and had low progesterone and miscarried (Yet Mirena releases small doses of progesterones - it messed up my natural progesterone release hence the anovulatory cycles because Luteinizing hormone does not trigger my ovaries to release progesterone on their own) at 61/2 weeks.

Before the pregnancy - I was diagnosed with a left ovarian cyst 5.2 cm in size. This happened when my body geared to ovulate and did not release enough Luteinizing hormones and formed a cyst...another side effect of Mirena.

Got my fertility painfully back and conceived again first cycle after miscarriage BUT my progesterone levels started going down and I am now on progesterone supplements to help maintain the pregnancy.
Mirena IUD must have contributed in killing my baby at 61/2 weeks due to my body being unable to produce progesterones on it's own.

Now pregnant and at 5w4d no fetal pole detected and my levels of progesterone are rising just because of the progesterone levels. Might be having a blighted ovum - all this pain because I made a choice to ruin my life with Mirena IUD

If you are considering Mirena IUD and wish to have children in the future - THINK AGAIN, that might be hard to achieve, if at all!!

I'M QUITTING YASMIN.. SICK OF IT! i started it two months ago and since then i've had almost NO SEX DRIVE, in BAD MOODS, i cry spontaneously for no reason, my stomache hurts and i'm uncomfortable every time after i eat, i'm tired way more, and yeah, my boyfriend and i fight a lot more too.

think twice before getting this stuff, it might be an effective birth control but it's because you never want sex again and you fight with your boyfriend!

i want to be myself again, i want my sex drive back, i want things to go back to normal between me and my bf... and my boobs didn't get bigger so who cares i'm donzo!

Taking 20mg per day for last 3 weeks for depression.
On the plus side.
Suicidal thoughts have gone and my brain has stopped racing. I don't feel up, but I don't feel down, I feel calm and level.
Side effects.
Body jerks when relaxed. No loss of sex drive but unable to ejaculate.
At the moment, I feel the side effects are worth putting up with because I feel so much better and I'm not making my wife and kids lifes a misery with my bad moods.

weiht gain, depression, frustration, bad moods, mood swings, edgy, excessively emotional

My unabashed opinion - do whatever you can to get yourself OFF Advair - then, off of Corticosteroids, too. I'm a 39 year old, 5'2", 95lb. , athletic woman. First daignosed with Asthma when pregnant with first child, 6 years ago. Immediately put on Azmacort throughout remainder of pregnancy, and beyond. OK, diagnosed with Preecclampsia during labor (dangerously high blood pressure), then, severe post partum depression. Also, kept feeling like I was blacking out or fainting. Continued for months, until I requested an MRI - diagnosed with "WORST SINUS INFECTION THEY HAD EVER SEEN". Ok, finally a bit better - then, started having severe Anxiety / Panic Attacks - Many times to ER. Therapy and anidepressants prescribed. Knew that Paxil and Celexa felt REALLY bad - weaned myself off. THat resolved those. Next - multiple repeated sinus infections. And, since all colds go directly to my chest, which causes my Ashtama - that was bad. Put on ADVAIR about two years ago, after my second child. Since then, I've had:

Meningitis (unknown source)
Shingles
Repeated Infections
Headaches
Arthric joints
Urinary Tract Infections
Pain / Weakness in Arms
Heart Palpatations
Mood Variations - severe bad moods
and, much more

NOTE: prior to my first experience with steroids - I've NEVER taken any medication - not even Antibiotics (for 25 years)

Last week, I just had it. I had already instructed my Dr. to lower my dose of Advair to 100/50. I had been on 250/50. I was on that for over a month, but still felt awful. Most notable side effect was nervousness, and anger. Just instructed him to put me on Flovent 44. (One of the components of Advair). Two days later - nervousness has stopped significantly. Also, much lower resting heart rate. I'm going to an Osteopath next week. I want off of everything, soon!

I have had 2 shots of lupron and it is a nightmare, I use to be a very sweet caring person but now all that has changed along with headaches, bad bad moods, leg pains, can't sleep, my breast are like letting air out of a tire, forget alot. Last shot was on April 17th and that will be the last.
