Depresssion symptoms and conditions

I have been on singulair for several months or more. In the last month or so I have had a handful of breakdowns emotionally, crying like a little baby some worse than others. I feel paranoid but i don't know if that is just a case of anxiety.Leaving the house has become an issue if it is a bad sad feeling day. I just learned about an investigation tonight and googles it. It lead me here.

I don't know what to do.

i have had the mirena for 2 yrs now and everything as been great with it untill 2 months ago then i started with the bleeding,cramps,back pain,headache`s and tender boobs etc constantly, i have had pre cancer before but because im bleeding they wont do a smear test which i have every 6 months and they also cant find my strings now so im waiting on a appointment go up to the hospital which could take a while but there's one good thing ive had no mood swings or depression as of yet i had that all that when i was on the pill instead .

Initially, numbness and tingling in extremities which subsided, but memory loss and loss for words is very uncomfortable, and my neurologist suggested caffeine every AM to compensate, which helps some, but not enough. Difficulty reaching orgasm has become very frustrating as a side effect, but is better than the horrible headaches every day. What a choice!!1

The Dr. gave me Effexor xr 75mg for my depression and 0.5 mg every 6 hrs of Xanax. Since then he lowered my Effexor xr to 35mg. During that period I gained 20 lbs and now I have excessive sweating constantly at least 5 times a day just as if I was coming out a flu like symptom.

My depression is still there buy not as bad but I started to get worried about what was causing the excessive sweating until I saw this site. I will set and appointment with the doctor tomorrow and see what the next plan of attack will be.

I know I was really bad with panic attacks and depression but know I could like to not take any more medications at all. With the help of God and I will recover from my depression and panic attacks. I had depression, panic attacks rasing heart beats, could not focus, memory loss, constant crying, fear. I when to the ER twice tacking I had a heart attack. All heart exams normal.

Now I have to deal with getting off the pills and live a normal life. How can I do this?

Hey ladies

I've never had any panic attacks or anxiety with Yasmin, in fact I believe mine has decreased... but that is the problem! I hardly feel any emotion, no desire for sex unless initiated by my bf, constantly lethargic and tired.. some chest pain at night, and insomnia/anxiety around ovulation

But my biggest side effect is SEVERE headaches. they are disabilitating, come without warning, and are so intense and severe that I can not make it through my daily day. If I take my pill at the EXACT same time everday, the headaches are minimal, however, if I take the pill a half hour or hour later than I am suppose to, the headaches will persist throughout the entire month... Did anyone else experience headaches like this?

Also, my actual period was not how it was suppose to be...very sticky and chunky it was scary.

In general, I believe Yasmin was just making me feel sick. I had really bad experineces with other birth control (ortho tri cylclen low made me puke every morning as well as get my period randomly) and I have decided to give my body a break. I am using Vivex (chaste tree berry) and St Johns Wort to keep my periods regular and avoid any of the depresssion that hear comes from quitting bcp. I only hope my body can regulate itself and return to normal!!!

I am a 36 year woman who has suffered from depression and migrianes. In the past couple of years, my depression has been much imporoved by stopping the use of alcolhol (duh) and finding a spriritual way of living. I have been managing it with Wellbutrin 300 mg a day, and have felt pretty well. My migraines, however, have been ever present and have continued to be a problem 2-3 times a week. My docotor suggested Topmax as a solution, and frankly, all heard was it could help with my migraines and one of the biggest side effects was weight loss. Yippee! Fewer headached and weight loss? Practically a miracle!

I am usually very careful about researching any new drug I take before I even fill the prescription. I have to admit I did not do this with Topmax. I sincerely wish I had.

The first thing I noticed was the lethargy. It was all I could do to crawl out of bed, go to work, and then come home only to crawl back again. I also got very angry and depressed right away. After 7 days, I went to speak to my pharmacist in tears on my lunch hour from work to ask her if this could be from the medication. I had just spent the morning in a rage over nothing, unable to think clearly and I just felt really out of control and in a fog. She said most of the side effects should pass in 2 weeks, and to give it about ten more days to seeif things improved.

I took Topomax 100 mg for nearly a month, and decided after that I would rather have migraines than suffer from all of the side effects I was experiencing. My side effects included severe depresssion, anger, confusion, problems with memory and concentration even my speech.I was lethargic, had aching joints and muscles, and generally I was exausted all of the time no matter how much I had slept. I had no energy to do anything. I was confused, had problems muli-taskng at work, and became suicidally depressed. Something that has not been a problem in years.

I have ceased taking the medication all together after consulting my doctor, and am feeling a little better after just a few days. I hope to be back to myself soon. It has been a horrible experience, and I will never take another drug again without fully researching it's side effects.
