Deppression symptoms and conditions

I am so happy I found this site, I thought I was the only one. I always heard good things from other people but they must be like me, embarrassed to say anything because the side affects are so weird and embarrassing and personal. Every since I have had the Mirena I have been bleeding non stop,it has been about 2 months. It has been light bleeding but at times there are small clots. I am constantly sore down there I feel like I got hit something down there. I have no sex drive and even the thought of it makes me crying because of the pain already I can't imagine what it would be like if I did. I have been back and forth between having UTI's and yeast infection's I have only ever had a UTI before. I am constantly on edge I cant take care of my kids like I use to. I have let all my house work go, the cooking and my husband go bless him has picked up all the slack. He is an active duty Marine so it's not he doesn't have enough to do but he has to come home and do stuff that I would normally be doing but I have no interest in doing anything. I have put on wieght, my stomach is bloated all the time, I have acne problems that I have not had in a few years. My back constantly hurts, I feal light-headed a lot so I don't want to do much driving unless I know that I'm totally alert, after a lot of caffeine. My skin is really dry, I can't put enough lotion on and chap- stick. I think the thing that really bother's me the most is my mood swings, I have a history of depression and I was never told that Mirena could make it worse. I have had thoughts that I have not had in a very long time. Sometimes I have to just go to my room and not be around anyone because I don't want to start yelling at everyone. I am on 2 depression medications and for the first time I don't feel like it is enough. If anyone knows if there is anything that can be done to make sure that on a national level people are told and that the company take some responsibility let me know. I don't want anyone feeling the way I feel. I adore my children and my husband, but with this Mirena I don't want to be around any of them.HELP!!!

i have been on effexor for about a month first started 25 then 37 now 75 since being on 75 feel very dizzy exhausted tingling in my brain and no motivation to do anything never had depression really only anxiety and panic but feel as if it is putting me in a depression.feel some of the symptoms people say when they come off it but im on it is this normal?

i was perscribed loratab 4 a car wreck i was in and that was about a year ago my back,neck,legs and carpel tunnel in both arms now if i dont have any my body aches so bad from the loratabs it unreal so any one getting perscribed these should only take them 4 a short amount of time serouisly the withdraws can be very seriouse theres alot more that comes with it like deppression and ect.............I wonder how im going to just quit taking them altogether so in 3and 1/2 months when my babys due he is not addicted either and going what i go through when i dont have them!♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥My doctor says its o.k. to take as long as i stop be 4 the babys here but how????????????????????????????????????????

I'm so glad I found this site. I, too, thought I was going crazy! The first two months were ok on Yaz. Lost some water weight and my periods were light and short. As the months went on things got worse. Depression, anxiety heart palpitations that sent me to the Urgent Care Center, extreme fatigue, irritability, irrational mood swings, absolutely NO sex drive, neck and back pain and an increase in my acne. This has been 3 months and I can't stand it any more. It just amazes me that doctors still don't even consider that extra hormones in our bodies would not cause some of the horrible side affects we are experiencing. Good Luck to all.

I am so glad I found this site. I chose Mirena because the copper IUD was giving me heavy bleeding , so this appeared to be the great solution.
The bleeding decreased but at the same time other symptoms appeared.
After eight months of visiting doctors of all kinds, taking pills for deppression, and going on never-ending diets, I found a doctor whom I have never seen before, and he looked at the facts from a distance.
It was him who suggested that Mirena could possibly have something to do with my gain loss (22 pounds) , mood changes, hair loss, incredible bloating of my stomach after eating and tiredness.
Reading this experiences only made me more certain to have it removed as soon as possible , hoping to get back to my old self soon.

I have had the mirena in for over 9 months, since then I have gained 26 pounds !!! I weigh more now then I did when I was 9 months pregnant !! My breasts have gone from a DD to a triple D, even when I was breast feeding for 5 months they never were this big ! I go months without a period and then when I get one its horrrible cramping and the bleeding seems like its never going to go away, sex drive has gone way down & its also painful no matter what position you try !, my midwife put me on prescription diet pills to help me get my weight in control, i couldnt believe it , nothing has changed my diet and excersize are the same, also I have had major mood swings and repeated yeast infections that my doc said are from the mirena. I have mine taken out on Oct. 3rd I cant wait this thing just isnt for me !!

To all the others with the same reactions to mirena, after it was taken out did you start to loose weight ?

I received a kenalog injection for coccyx pain March 2007. I have noticed the following side effects: nausea,heightened anxiety, insomnia, night sweats, loss of appetite, fatigue and severe generalized itching. It is now August and I am still experiencing these problems.
I have a question. Has anyone out there noticed their blood sugar
increasing? I am trying to see if this is separate or related to the injection.

Injections of Kenalog done via x ray machine, 3 times in a period of 2 months and trigger point injections with Kenalog done once after the second one did not work. Felt great after the first one, lasted for 4 weeks. Had another one done (second one) for the same problem, L5-SI (spinal fusion with rods and cages 7 years ago, developed sciata 4 months ago and pain doctor said the Kenalog shots were needed so I took her advice.
Needless to say, I was not informed of the warnings. I have been in bed now for 4 weeks, have no energy, feel dizzy and disorientated. Cannot even walk down the street without feeling like collapsing, hip pain and leg movement is deterioting and I am scared. Feel sick all of the time, cannot do laundry or dishes, feel so depressed as a result of these shots. Arm numbness and loss of motion, tingling in my fingers, burning pain in buttocks, down leg, and calf and down to foot. Also having muscle spasms in my left arm.
Never again will I do this. I will be speaking with my pain doctor next week and will inform her that these shots made me worse.
Thanks for listening to me, I need to go to bed again. I was such an active person before all of these shots were given to me. I feel so sad all the time and crying too often when I should be happy. I am a 47 year old female.
Any advice one can give would be appreciated.

i started taking seroquel about 2 years ago, and with being steadily increased in the dosage i have gaine 100 pounds, and i cannot lose anything. I have tried every diet out there, besides surgery. I am afraid to go off them because i have insomnia and deppression, and anxiety soo bad that i can never sleep. and now in reading other persons' effects i am starting to wonder if all my other problems are an affect of this medicine. I take 800 mg. a night just so i can sleep 7-8 hours. How crazy is that??? i am so afraid...

Wow! I'm glad I found this website. I've been on BC pills for the last 8yrs I started with Ortho but then changed to Yasmin bcause I was having problem on Othro. I've been on Yasmin for about 5yrs and since then I have had deppression, Mood swings etc. and never knew why. I've taken antidepressints but didn't like the way the made me feel so I stoped. Now I've just been dealing with it on my own. Anyway I now have been back and forth to the doctors and the are trying to figure out why i have pain deep in the vagina when inserting a tampon or having sex. They have given me and ultra sound, blood test, STD test, etc. and they still can't figure out why. Can anyone tell me if this might be because of Yasmin? Also, does anyone know the Side effects of taking BC for a Many years? Like, if it mess's you up so much that you can have kids? After reading this website I'm thinking of getting of BC for good.

Thank you.........

I am 26 years old and my husband and I have 4 common children and we are currently raising his son from his first marriage so I have 5 children at home. after the birth fo my first child in 1998, I suffered a severe panic attack that came out of nowhere, I rushed to the emergency room thinking i was dying, and for 5 years after that i suffered and lived with major deppression and severe anxiety. I literaly thought i was dying everyday of my life, my file at the doctors office was really getting thick from all my visits. Finally in 2004 for the sake fo my children I agreed to take medication and my doctor put me on zoloft I started at 100mg. and slowly increased to 200mg. I was on it for a year and for the first time in 5 years I felt good, I didnt' think about dying , my patience with my children increased I was a new person, unfortunatley I had a substantial weight gain so I requested to try a different medication so they switched me to wellbutrin 400mg my appetite has decreased but my anxiety has increased not to the point it was before i had any help but it definatley isn't as controlled as when i was on the zoloft.
I think zoloft is excellent for anxiety but it didn't work for my severe p.m.s.

I've been taking prednisone for about a 2 weeks, due t oa severe case of poison oak, and even within this short amount of time i have noticed several side effects the steroid has had on my body. Some of which would be deppression, insomnia, weight gain, and appetite increase. When ever i was in a sad sittuation, my emmotions seemed magnified, as if one of my friends had just died. The insomnia has occured several times, though notably only when i workout a few hours before bed. in the first 5 days of using prednisone, i gained about 6.5 pounds! and i noticed that i needed an exessive amount of liquid throughout the day.

Hello,I would just like to add another side effect to this product..It's called spousal aggro!!! I am a male and my girlfriend really tends to get upset if i become tired on the count of using this product all tho i am diagnosed with stress/panic attacks/deppression..Hey what can i say..OOOOps!!! Im sorry hunny..In other words be care full when you take your meds.I always take Zanax on occasions.. sincerly;Kevin (PS. good look to you all that have this disease may god be with you.)

I've been on Zoloft for 2 years, and I'm at 100 mg right now, mainly for anxiety and deppression. I can honestly say Zoloft has done alot more good then harm to me. I'm actually stable and have been for awhile. Though I'm not as deppressed as I used to be, and I've had no panic attacks since it kicked in, I feel kind of an overall very mild deppression, like a fog. Also if I forget to take it for a few days I get "shocks". I've found also its not a good idea to take it at night, because recently I've been remembering vivid dreams alot more, and a few times needed a reality check. Its good that I don't cry constantly I like I used too, but now it takes ALOT for me even to shed a tear.

it relieved alot of deppression and irritability. i have some short term memory loss. i take 150mg twice a day.the first day i was euphoric after that i felt more like myself before the break down.have been on it a year or so i feel real stability.

I have been gradually been put on Effexor XR. 1st week 1x37.5mg for 7 days then 2x37.5 mg 7 days or 2nd week then 3x 37.5 for 7 days and now 4x 37.5 or 150 mg. I have noticed a decrease in appetite as a matter of fact I've lost 14 lbs. in a month. I did have vision problems at night when my eyes seemed very dialated. Daytime wasn't a problem. A little bit of yawning on the first day of increasing the dosage.
I sweat a lot, but it is summer and very humid here, so am not sure if this is a side effect. I have been suffering from deppression and GAD most of my life as well as severe PMS. This drug has increased my ability to think before I react, which is a miracle. I have been an emotional eater and am happy with the loss of my need to self medicate with food. I am sure they will gradually wean me off of this medicine as they gradually put me on it. I am also in therapy and I feel I am doing something good for myself. I feel much better than a month ago. They've said I will only be on this medication for one year.

Prozac has made me one uncaring person. I became very hateful, and paranoid. I have major deppression, and panic disorder,and Prozac didn't help! Had to quit it!
