Commit suicide symptoms and conditions

I have to honestly say I LOVE the Mirena. Yes it was a little painful when it was inserted but that is the only bad thing I have to say about the Mirena. I have had the Mirena for about 2 1/2 years now. I don't have to worry about taking a pill everyday, gaining weight or the best part not having a period. I spot very little for like a day and to be honest it is only when I go to the bathroom and wipe is when I notice that Im spotting. I guess Im just one of the lucky ones that can use this method of birth control.

I've been on Wellbutrin for 8 years. After reading this forum I seriously question wether if I am the forgetful person that I've become. It's been so long since I've been clear-headed, but I know that as a child I had an extrodinary memory. Because this has viably been a side-effect that has existed for 8 years, I learned to believe that it was who I was. 2 years previous to starting Wellburtin failed in an sucicide attempt and thought that it could be from that. But because of overwhelming anxiety and hives,my doctor has upped my dose from 150mg to 300mg daily. Now I'm noticing that I can't remember chuncks of time. Trying to replaying an event in my mind and realize that I don't what happened after...and which roads I drove on to get home. It's a daily occurence. I will set everything out to take to school, but forget to grab the stuff. Laundry takes me days, because I constantly forget to change loads. I get distracted easily and don't know what I was doing or simply forget that I was doing something. 3 times while writing this I forgot what my next sentence was going to be. I always feel like I'm in a brain fog anymore. My greatest fear is that Wellburtin is the only one in it's class. I tried Paxil, Prozac, Effexor and had horrible side effect. So is it Wellbutrin or nothing? Does anyone know or have suggestions of other meds? When someone hurts me, I usually can't remember it long enough to mad ever again. I also have severe migranies, but not sure if thy're are related.

I am a 50 year old post menopausal woman with osteoporosis. I had 3 injections over a 3 month period for degenerative disc disease (cervical). Last injection was done 1/12/07. I was not warned about increasing osteoporosis as a side effect of this medicine even though they knew I had it and was taking medication for it.
I experienced the following side effects:
extreme sweating around head, neck, and torso
extreme mood swings where I actually became violent (I'm really a passive person), hitting loved ones, throwing and breaking things (completely out of character for me, in fact I've never behaved in this manner)
extreme depression where I tried but failed to commit suicide (I was hospitalized in a psychiatric facility for 9 days)
huge face
huge hump on my back
I now have extremely high blood pressure (was normal before)
I experience confusion and memory loss (sometimes I'm in the middle of a sentence and forget what I'm talking about and I am normally a pretty sharp person.)
I now have adrenal insufficiency and am currently scheduled for an MRI of my pituitary gland next week so they can figure out why my adrenal glands are no longer producing natural cortisol.

Went to see the doctor who gave me the injections about these side effects (before the suicide attempt) and was told these side effect would go away in 3 or 4 days! He gave me a prescription for 5mg valium and told me not to eat so much!

After my stay at the psych facility I again called the doctor who gave me the injections to try to find out if the injections had caused all of this. This doctor would not order any tests but thankfully his nurse (behind the doctor's back) told me to call my primary doctor and explain the situation and ask for a cortisol level test. My cortisol level was so low that I got an appointment with the best endrocrinologist in town the next day.

I am currently on a prednisone taper to try to stimulate my adrenals to produce the correct amount of cortisol.

Has anything like this happened to anyone else? I am so angry with the doctor I want to sue him but I'm sure I signed something protecting him.

I just got my first prescription for Neurontin. When the pain management doctor told me he wanted me to try this, I asked him if there wasn't anything on television regarding this drug & suicide? He said he wasn't aware of anything. No sooner do I get home & the commercial for a law firm says if you or anyone you know has commited suicide while taking this medication contact 1-800 so & so..I am terrified of trying it! What do you recommend? I am truly afraid of that particular side-effect, the one where you get so depressed that all seems hopeless & commit suicide. Can anybody advise me?????Thanks, Margarita

at 1st it worked good then it made me angry & vilant then depressed then i tried 2 commit suicide so iflushed tha rest down tha toilet then i found out on tha tv that my state was tryin 2 ban tha med cuz it was tha leading med for teen suicide well im 19 go figure `1 good thing i didnt experience any withdrawls in my opinion no offense 2 nebody i think its tha worst med for deppression on tha market

Depression!
I've been on Yasmin for 2 months and the whole time I've just had this lingering depression. I've cried more times in the last 2 months than I have in my entire life...including when I was a baby. I told my bf I wanted to break up because I couldn't bear putting him through my behavioral vacillations. I thought I was crazy because I would go into these horrible moods where I would just cry and I had no idea what was wrong with me. I felt separated from the world and there was nothing I could do. I've just been 'off'.
I thought of going on some sort of medication to help with my depression because I can't life like this. Then It occurred to me that Yasmin might be contributing to this, so I looked it up online. I'm so glad I did. I really hope this is why I feel like this. I never wanted to commit suicide, but at times I just didn't care to live.
Anyway, I went off a few days ago. I feel better already.
We'll see what happens.
Good luck ladies!

Ladies,

I posted nearly a year ago on this board about all the side effects and symptoms I was having. I emailed my gyno in NY (I reside in CA) and the woman called me at 2 in the morning and told me to stop taking it because it sounded like I was going to have a stroke.

They keep telling us that Yasmin is this new wonder drug, but I will never take any form of BC ever again. I know that there are other options out there, but that was literal HELL. I am a stable, responsible, healthy person with few problems containing my emotions, but when on this drug, the hormones and moodswings nearly caused me to commit suicide.

Please, Ladies, don't take this drug. It's not worth your life. I'm not being dramatic. From what I've experienced and what I've read, I'm positive that this new "miracle" drug is capable of killing us.

I was taking Neurontin for four days after I tried to commit suicide and it supose to help with my depression. I was suppose to continue to take it but my insurence wont cover it if anyone can help me find a way to get help to pay for it I would be grateful.

After have my gall bladder removed I was given 40mg of reglan for nausea. I spent the night of my surgery in the hospital and do not have much memory of that night or of the next day. The following night at home I tried to commit suicide, my husband stopped me but I had an over-whelming desire to kill myself. Suicide seemed so logical and welcome to the mental hell I was in. I was in a deep depression for months and the thoughts of that night will never leave. I work in a pharmacy and when ever I see any one taking reglan I try to warn them about the side effects, something doctors are not doing.Anyone else been in reglan hell?
