Crazy ones symptoms and conditions

I took z-pak this week, and I've had some stomach cramps. The first night I took it it was the worst, but they've gradually gotten better.
But does anyone know if it can cause vivid dreaming? Every night I've taken it I've had some extreme dreams (one included both Obama and my HS sweetheart, if that helps to explain how intense they were). Has anyone else had this problem? I tried to find out if this was a common side effect, but couldn't find anything.

Is any one having menstrual problems? I have had a lot of cramping and little to no flow-which is unusual for me-I feel like I am constantly PMS-ing
and I want to eat all the time! The allergy problem is gone but my ovaries
are killing me and Im gaining weight!

I had a horrible experience with the Mirena. Weight gain, high blood pressure, mood swings, loss of libido, etc. I got the Mirena removed on Monday, and I am already feeling better. I started a blog detailing my experiences with the Mirena, and would love for more ladies to come participate and share their stories.

I've taken Yasmin for nearly two years now and I was always suspicious of it, but really only in physical ways, like putting on weight, having ENORMOUS breasts that really don't suit me and make me so selfconscious and unhappy, cramps that I never had before before and during my periods, leg cramps that I would wake up screaming with in the night etc. I'm actually so angry now just because in Europe they don't advertise its weight loss/diuretic effects, which means for the past two years it didn't ever occur to me that I had to pee every five minutes because of this stupid, hateful pill! But now after reading about all these women, all of them thinking THEY were the crazy ones, or they were to blame or they were neurotic or going mad and not being told by a doctor (my doctor had me in and out of his office in under 5 minutes when he prescribed this for me) that there could be emotional repercussions - it makes me more and more furious at the things women go through for men. I know it's a cliche but how many men would take a pill every day that not only made them infertile for the duration, but made them feel like some of the women I've read about here? The word "depression" in a list of side effects doesn't do justice to feeling like you should be alone because you're too nuts for your closest friends/partner to be near you, or that no one should have to tolerate you, or to cry all the time and not know why you're getting so angry because of something stupid or nothing at all, or afraid of something really minor, or so ugly you don't want to go out?
Ok - I know this is a bit of a rant but this is my first time hearing that other people feel like this too. I know some people probably get on great with it, some people are no better or worse than they were before, but it's the way in which it's prescribed, without any serious warning or education about risks like these, and this idea that you won't be taken seriously by a doctor if you tell them-
I'm very glad there's a forum like this where people can tell their stories in a balanced and open way.
Thanks!
