Bad person symptoms and conditions

lupron makes me a bad person. i easily get irritated even on very little things. mood swings is very out of this world. i'm on my day 4 of lupron and i can't control my emotion anymore. i do deep breaths to try to control it but it doesn't work for me. i really have to shout my emotion or else i feel i will burst or die of heart attack. i don't know what to do anymore. i have to be relaxed to have a successful ivf. need your advice.

I am 23 years old I had my first abnormal pap in November of 2006, I then had to get paps every 3 months, my paps got worse and as of December of 2007 I had a cone biopsy to remove part of my cervix, then I started the Gardasil shots. After the third shot my paps started coming back normal and I have not had an irregular one since. I think that every girl should have these shots, if not for the shot I could have ended up with cervical cancer!

Reading these posts has given me a HUGE sigh of relief. I am desperate to find something else and get the hell off of Aviane. I think I've been on it since at least 2002 or 2003. Like many of you...I'm irritable, angry, cry, hungry, moody...an emotional basket case!! I start PMS 2 weeks before my period begins. I can flucuate at least 3-5 lbs a month. This month has been the absolute worst. I forgot to take a pill (totally normal for me to forget). I have had cramps, bloating, 5 lb weight gain ( I am training for a 25k, there's no way it's fat!), and actually have had my period for 1 entire week! I can not take it any more and I have a doctors appointment at 10:45 tomorrow morning! I will not leave there until I have a new prescription and an explanation.
SEX DRIVE- I am writing this in caps to get your attention. I'm 27 years old, married 2 years to my husband who I have been with for 7 years. I am completely and madly in love with him but have no desire for sex. We fight about it every day, without fail. For so long I felt that I was a bad person. I have no explanation for not wanting to have sex. I don't want to get used to feeling this way. Our sex life sucks. I wish it was better but part of me doesn't care because I don't crave it. BUT- i did before, so I know there's something wrong. I won't settle for this feeling and I don't want my husband to feel this way anymore! I want to show him that I love him. I can't wait to get off Aviane!
Did I mention that i'm always tired? I'm constantly finding ways to increase my energy. From coffee to red bull, hydroxycut, spark, you name it. My energy levels are pretty high while I'm busy or working out...but the minute I stop, forget it...I'm OUT! It's gotten to the point where I've fought with my friends and family. Did anyone else fall asleep at 10:30 on New Years Eve??- I'm 27, I have no kids....problem? I think so..
The only constant in my life is AVIANE! Gee....ironic? I don't think so. Thank you to all the women that have posted their experience with Aviane. I have read so many of them. I also read a lot of them to my husband to reassure him that it has to be my birth control that is making me "asexual" and crazy! I look forward to visiting with my doctor, forcing her to change my birth control and finally, looking forward to starting a new life...I HOPE! I will be happy to respond to this forum to share my new experience....tbd!
Thanks again to all you other bloated, irritable, crazy, emotional basketcases that aren't having sex more than twice a week! Gotta love being a woman!

my daughter is 7 and has been taking Singulair for the past year. she has exhibited many of the symptoms described in these blogs.....she constantly complains of stomach aches and headaches. wakes up at night saying mommy i had a bad dream....(has not done this prior)....her closet door must be closed at all times (new to her)....she cannot have the bathroom door fully closed,again new to her.......she wakes up and does not want to go to school, new to her!!!!!! she also complains of itching, she itches herself to the points of opening her skin.......i had stopped the Singulair this past February and could not believe what a change in her behavior. she had to go back on it after asthma episode and once again i notice her change in behavior. i recently stopped it after she began crying saying, mommy i am a bad person, i did not brush my teeth tonight....the next day i heard the news of the mood side affects and threw the Singulair out!

My son was prescribed Strattera for ADD. 25 mg for three days,
but when the dosage increased to 40 mgs, it was a nightmare.

This was the worst medicine I have ever had my 12 yr old son take. He lost his appetite, had insomnia for several weeks and behaved like he was in a stupor when he was awake.
I would NEVER EVER have him take this drug again and I do not
recommend it to anyone else.

I was prescribed adderall a few years ago for mild ADD, 10 mg once a day, and it was great at the time. My grades went up and everything else was good for about a year. I decided, though, that I wanted to go off of it, as I was sick of feeling like I relied on a pill.
Well, I went off of it, for the next couple of months I started getting panic attacks and depression more and more frequently until I reached my worst point-- for 5 days I couldn't eat, sleep, or even get off the couch. I couldn't recognize myself in the mirror and felt no joy at all whatsoever.

After that for about a year things were okay, but I wasn't quite myself. I didn't enjoy things like I once did, and I was plagued by constant worrying about things that I didn't need to worry about.
Soon I started taking it again, and became addicted again for a few months. Once again, went off of it, had a bad few months, things got a little better.
Then I started again. Now, for the past few months I go through weeks at a time when I take it and weeks I don't. I'm trying to quit once and for all.

My point is that this drug really had an enormous impact on my life. It changed me in a lot of ways I didn't like, made me sort of emotionally numb-- in fact, the only time I felt pleasure and joy was practically when I took the drug.
I am not the kind of person who gets addicted to things easily, and I'm not sneaky or secretive, but let me just tell you:
The other day (since I don't fill my perscription anymore), I wanted some adderall and I actually picked the lock on my mom's drawer to get to hers.

That's extremely out of character for me, and it freaked me out.

Nobody ever warned me about this drug, and people act like it's no big deal, but it almost made me kill myself.

Other than that, I have always been an honest, happy, motivated person.

Hi Ladies,

I just wanted to offer some hope to the ladies suffering out there post yasmin. I stopped Yasmin 2 years ago after realising it was the cause of my major depression, panic attacks and personality changes. Within days of stopping Yasmin the dark cloud over me lifted and my depression ceased.

The most challenging aspect of stopping Yasmin was definately anxiety...the first 6 months off Yasmin was probably the hardest, particularly around ovulation and pre-menstrual times (although some months were worst after my period). These times were filled with days where I didn't remember the 'old me'...anxiety fills you with scary and sometimes terrifying thoughts...my main anxious thoughts were that I was a bad person that could do bad things to people and I was keeping it a secret...ridiculous as it sounds, but it would go over and over in my mind, making me feel sick. Anxiety is an awful thing because it feels so real when its actually all chemical.

The wonderful thing is that every month since getting off Yasmin I have gotten better and closer to the old me. I remember being at the stage so many of you are at now, and reading these posts to get me though the day. It is these times you have to remind yourself 'these thoughts and feelings are not real, they are the result of chemicals...these feelings are only temporary, and no matter how bad it is...THIS TIME WILL PASS'.

Try also to remain busy and distracted while you ride it out....books, puzzles, crosswords, movies....running/exercise really helped me as it increased endorphines (happy hormones) and I'd be so focussed on my breathing and not stopping that I'd not be 'thinking'...it would also tire me out and help me sleep.

We are survivors...everyone of us. Imagine how equipped we are due to this experience to deal with anything life has to offer.

The old you is coming back, slowly but surely, I promise.

Take care each of you. God bless xxx

I was put on Zoloft for treatment of depression and anxiety due to an immense of stress in my personal life. At the beginning I was experiencing headaches, jaw tension, diarrhea and weird dreams. This was 2 months ago. Now I still have intense, vivid dreams, but there not bad dreams, so I don't mind that at all!! I have had NO loss of my sex drive, which a friend said I would, give it time. Thankfully, they were wrong!! I plan on being on Zoloft for 6 months, sbut so far I've seen a big change in both my attitude and emotions. BUT I also am following up with therapy, which is helping a lot too. I don't feel bad or helpless anymore about being on Zoloft or that i have had some personal issues that I needed help with. Now that I'm starting to see I wasn't the bad person in my problems, I realize that the Zoloft helped "clear my head" and helped me to start to become me again.
