Depression medications symptoms and conditions

Well this is my second go around with Lupron. In 2004 I was on it for 7 months for the treatment of Fibroids, at the time I was 25 and I was told the only other choice was a hysterectomy. Well my doctor at the time said the side effects would not be bad and so did not give me anything for the mood swings and hot flashes. This almost caused a divorce, I guess I was pretty bad! Well it did the job, but I did gain 30lbs. Five years later, I was diagnosed with endometriosis. I was informed that I needed another go of Lupron. Well in those 5 years I had lost 100lbs and was feeling good. I started the Lupron in Feb. of 2009 and have gained almost half of that weight back and still no period. I have not had any children and it is looking like the next step for me is a hysterectomy. My depression that I thought I had under control worsened considerably and now am on 2 different depression medications. The only positive thing I would have to say is that the pain is gone for now and this time they gave me something for hotflashes and mood swings.

i've been on yaz for almost 6 months now, and i absolutely love it.
i was diagnosed with severe PMDD, and would get horribly depressed to the point of thinking of suicide for a week/week and a half before each period. i had cramps so bad i could hardly move, couldn't sleep, would have no sex drive, and could barely get myself out of bed. then, right after my period was gone, i'd be back to normal again. it took quite awhile for me to realize what was going on after i had seen some commercials for yaz talking about PMDD and how much it can affect your every day life. since taking yaz, i have had NO depression bouts and absolutely no cramps. my sex drive has actually increased, and my skin has cleared up completely.
after reading most of these reviews, i'm thinking that if you do not have a form of PMDD yaz will have the opposite effect on you that it is supposed to have as is the case for some depression medications. they clearly state on the commercials that it is for the use of treating PMDD and moderate acne, and do not encourage you to take yaz if you do not have those current symptoms.
not trying to start anything, just don't want people to have a horrible view on this pill as it has changed my life in so many ways for the better. :)

I started my first pack 20 days ago and I stopped taking them last night. I was taking them to control extremely heavy periods but the side effects are not worth it. I will deal with the heavy periods and just suffer through. This pill has made me extremely moody (and I take anxiety and depression medications), my face broke out like it hadn't since I was sixteen and I have had no sex drive at all...and sex was painful.

Of course today, I am dealing with the side effects of stopping. I feel like crap but at least know this feeling will pass soon and I will be back to my old self.

Just to let you know, I started on the NuvaRing last June and then tried committing suicide in July by overdosing, b/c I was feeling severely depressed as well as hopeless and I almost succeeded. I was on life support and in ICU for 6 days. I took the NuvaRing out the week before Christmas, not even realizing that is what was making me feel awful and decided to not go back on it, and beginning the first week in January of 2009, I have never felt better in my life. Im off of one of my depression medications and the other one is at its lowest dose and my depression is almost nonexistent. I do believe this NuvaRing is the worst thing in the world. You will begin feeling better in a few weeks

I've tried NuvaRing three times over the past five years, and each time I experienced severe anxiety and depression. I never had this problem with any other type of hormonal birth control. I just now had it in for a week, and began to feel very deeply depressed, with very dark thoughts of hopelessness. It was horrible. I could not function. I removed it this morning and am hoping for a return to normal moods soon. Normally, I'm an even-balanced person who doesn't get depressed or anxious. My conclusion is that this form of birth control can be very dangerous for some women.

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!!!

Our daughter has been on Singulair for four years that we can recall and are in the process of obtaining medical records to find out for sure.

She was diagnosed with A.D.H.D. when she was first starting school and allergies in the first grade. She was on liquid Claritan-D up until she started Singulair (4 or 5 Yrs ago).

Since she began taking the Singulair along with her A.D.H.D. meds. she has become very depressed, anxious, and sometimes extremely angry for no apparent reason.

Her elementary school career thus far has pretty much been a total waste because she does not pay attention or is outright defiant. And She has started stealing from other students.

We elected to try natural treatment for the A.D.H.D. with limited success and now we know why! The Singulair is counteracting the treatment! I would bet my last dollar that she will improve without the continued use of Singulair!

Before she started taking the Singulair she was always an outgoing kid that loved life unconditionally and now she is always down in the dumps and struggles through the school day and it is putting pressure on us as parents because the school gives her detention for not completing work or acting out in class etc.

She frequently complains of tummy aches and headaches or joint pain.

I feel really horrified as a parent because I argued with her just this morning and made her take the Singulair before school!

Even if taking her off this med. changes her future it won't erase the memories of her childhood school years that should have been some of the happiest times in her life and are now just painful ones she will try to forget!

We all need to find other parents in our own towns and get together a group and contact a lawyers office and file class action suits against the monsters who created this mess!

I got my IUD placed in about april of 07 i have seen than experience crazy skin problems such as ance i've never had a problem with ance and i'm 25 i have very bad mood changes that are unexplainable now that i have reread the side effects of Mirena i now know why all the side effects began around the same time and now i'm figuring out why!
