I was diagnosed with PTSD, Major depression and social phobia back in 1996, when i was 17. I was being treated by a quack psychiatrist who prescribed me Zyprexa in 1998. I never heard or seen things that others couldn't hear or see until i took this drug. Let me tell you i've probably been on a third of the pills in a PDR but NEVER have i been on a drug that destroyed my life like Zyprexa. It caused me to have angry outburst. Zyprexa caused me to have SVT (Supraventricular Tachycardia) in which my heart would nearly race out of my chest. It also caused me to have Sleep Paralysis in which i was seeing demons. Zyprexa put my athletic body into a chronic fatigue and hypersomnia and i gained 150lbs in 15 months of taking this drug. The quack psychiatrist no longer has a license to practice...it seems he had many patients die on his meds. I filed a class action lawsuit against the drug maker of Zyprexa that is still in effect. 10 years after taking this drug the weight will not come off and it's caused me to develop health problems such as diabetes, hypertension and high cholesterol.

I've only been on Geodon for three weeks and I have had nightmares so bad I'm afraid to go back to sleep. I even had a nightmare so bad that I couldn't snap myself out of it even after I woke up. I had to be sedated finally

Hi everyone, I've been off Yaz for two weeks now and have had severe depression, emotional numbness, anxiety, muscle weakness, migraines, and on and on. The symptoms are actually getting worse in some ways since I went off the Yaz.
I'm hoping someone can tell me whether they've had any success in going on another birth control pill after Yasmin/Yaz in order to stabilize side-effects of depression and anxiety, which are what freaks me out the most. I've been off Yaz for two weeks now and if anything my side-effects have gotten worse. I'm seeing a doctor and trying to figure out what's going on, but in the meantime I am desperate to feel like myself again. I'd rather not go on anything else hormonal for the long-term, but I'm considering going back on an older, completely different prescription (Loestrin) which didn't cause me any psychological side-effects. One of my doctors says it should be fine, but the other doesn't want me to do it. Has anyone else felt an improvement in depression and anxiety from going onto a different pill prescription? Thanks for your help!!

I am 45 and had the device inserted in June. Since then I have had an annoying constant red-brown discharge and my period three times. My menstrual cramps are definitely greatly lessened but what is freaking me out (apart from the discharge) is the anxiety I am experiencing for no reason. I am also feeling depressed. I am greatly concerned as being on the pill many years ago I had a mild stroke and my doctor assured me that the hormones ion the Mirena stay in the uterus. Why then the sudden anxiety attacks? I have always been a really laid-back person - I can only relate this sudden appearance of anxiety to the Mirena - it started about two weeks after I had it inserted.
I am now debating whether to ride it out - has anyone had the anxiety subside?
