I am so mad at my doctor! i feel like he knew about the mood swings and just opted not to mention it! my entire life my friends and family have joked about how im always laughing and smiling no matter what is going on. i am a VERY happy person....i was just prescribed doxycycline for my acne and have only been on it for a couple weeks. i thought i was possibly having a pms problem but it just continued after i was off my period, i am so easily irritated now i find that i cry over nothing and cant seem to get over anything.this morning i got in a huge fight with my dad and was more livid than i ever have been in my entire life all over nothing!! and when i say nothing i mean NOTHING.i screamed at him and left my house and told him i wasn't coming home and not to call me or talk to me and then i drove around crying angrily and hysterically for 3 hours.my dad is practically my best friend we never ever fight.ive been losing sleep and having depressing thoughts about life and where mine is going.i just started college and im bummed cuz the meds are effecting my grades already(or so i think they are) i feel physically incapable of getting up in the morning and i have a hard time keeping up in the easiest dance class ever.i always have thoughts about how screwed up EVERYTHING is and my mom and i myself noticed that in the last week every time i call her its to complain about something and i get all choked up about whatever im talking about.now after reading about all these other people having issues with the meds im pretty pissed that my doctor didn't give me any options.if u plan on going to the dermatologist for acne i would recommend mentioning what you've read about this drug before they waste your time and money.life is too short for this crap...seriously.

Like everyone, I'm experiencing some bouts of flushing as we increase my dosage from 500mg to 1000mg. Dr eventually wants me to get to 2000mg...we'll see..... was wondering if anyone else had sporadic bouts of 'depression'....No, seriously, I'm a pretty optimistic, cheery person but while taking this medicine I find myself with these tiny bouts of depressing thoughts that come and go throughout the day....Am I the only one?

I have been taking NR for 6 months now. It was great at first. I didn't realize some of the symptoms I was having were even related to the ring:
severe headaches
nausea
swelling of hands and face to the point of severe pain
breakthrough bleeding
severe mood swings
I took the ring out last night and don't expect to feel better for awhile. I seriously thought I had something wrong with me I didn't put it all together until I didn't have a period this time and then last month I had a really bad one a week before I was supposed to. My family thinks i am insane. I have really depressing thoughts. Before I took it out yesterday I was crying one minute then in a rage the next. My husband said to take it out right now because he couldn't take dealing with me anymore. I woke up this morning bloated and tired but a little better.
I am so glad that I looked up this site. I am not crazy or dying of some uncurable disease. It was just my hormones and whatever else is in that stupid ring.
They told me I had to refrigerate the ring because it releases the hormones by the heat in your body, well what if it doesn't work right. How do they know that it releases the same amount daily like it is supposed to?. I truly feel poisoned and imbalanced.

I have had two AWFUL experiences with Reglan!
-- By miche85835 | Reply | (1) replies | Private Message meFirst time, I was in the ER with high blood pressure and a very bad headache. To treat the headache, I was given a combo of Reglan IV and "unknown". Right away I started sweating and freaking out! The only thing i could focus on was leaving. I felt this overwhelming desire to pull out my own IV and go home! I was so tired but couldn't rest... my mind just raced with depressing thoughts. They discharged me in this state... I didn't argue... I couldn't get out fast enough. However, I hardly made it home. I can not believe I was allowed to drive home in such a state.
Not knowing what meds caused me to have such a reaction... it happened again last week!
I was in the Emergency Room having treatment for a spinal leak from a spinal tap a few days prior. I complained of back pain (no kidding) and was given meds in my IV. Same thing...all over again! This time my mother witnessed the horrible reaction. The nurse only gave me a cold towel for my head and it took 2 days to start feeling back to normal... NEVER will I have this medication again.
