Devil symptoms and conditions

Will turn you into an emotionless, lethargic, drunk, apathetic zombie that has no more creative or human spark than a turnip does. Throw this crap in the garbage - NOW! I was prescribed this devil spawn drug from a PAIN MANAGEMENT doctor who told me it would help potentiate the Tylenol 3's he gave me. Drink a case of whiskey and smoke a crack rock the size of a buick and you'll essentially reach the point I was at after one of these pills. I started saying crazy things to my Girlfriend, started rearranging the refrigerator, slept for 10 hours (and I normally only sleep 4-6 hours) and woke up with these thoughts in my head like "What am I doing with my life? Nothing is going right, Everything I touch turns to hell". By about 10:30 in the morning at work, it finally started coming out of me and I started waking up and realized just how bad it was. DO NOT take this medication unless you are so severely psychotic that you simply can't make yourself stop killing squirrels. Why the hell a DOCTOR would prescribe this evil in pill form for Pain Management is so far beyond me, it's like wiping before you poop, just don't make no sense.

I took tetracycline for 10 days (it had been prescribed for 30 days for emergency oral surgery...I had cracked a molar and it had to be extracted)

On the tenth day I was ready to die from the progressive side effects that were completetly intolerable.....I thought I was going to die and the fear was so unreal that I thought I was possessed by the devil or some evil force that was going to kill me and my family....it was horrific!!

Taking an anti-anxiety med Ativan helped but I also made the decision to stop taking the anti-biotic tetracycline...within 24 hours I felt fine....the racing thoughts, the heat, the chest pains and blinding fear were suddenly gone....I know now that this drug is not good for me and have asked the doctor for another antibiotic.....

If anyone experiences these symptoms stop taking this drug immediately....I took it for ten days and I wished I would have stopped sooner....

I especially don't recommend Tetracyline or any of its similarly-based antibiotics for anyone who suffers from depression or anxiety....

I hope my experience can help others understand the adverse side effects of this drug.

Last year, starting July 5th till August 20th, at the age of 15, I am female, I had to take this devil of a drug. For nearly a month, after getting out of a hospital for a massive kidney infection caused by a kidney stone. The month I went through was a total hell; I was up all night, nearly every night, vomiting what I had managed to eat during the day. Cause of this I lost over 50 lbs and became underweight, from being unable to safely eat without vomiting minutes after the consumption of food. It gave me pseudotumor cerebri, and papilloedema which has nearly ruined my eyesight. It has also caused psychological effects with me caused by hallucinations, I cannot sleep without a nightlight, I am very paranoid of mirrors now, it has left me with depression and paranoia. I do not recommend this drug to anyone, as I am afraid it could cause death! I truly would wish this on no one, not even my enemies.

My girlfriend and I just broke up after four months of the greatest relationship a couple could experience. We never had one fight, never argued, had all the same interest, and were perfect together. She got on the pill not long after we started dating from not being on anything and everything was fine. Just over a month ago her OBGYN switched her to the NuvaRing and a week into her second month still never having any problems at all about anything, she walks into my house and in five minutes chews me out about every little thing she can find wrong with me and breaks up with me. She started acting funny about three days earlier, not speaking to me, being very aloof, stand offish. The only thing that changed in our relationship is the NuvaRing. It's the Devil!!!

OMG!! I am so glad I found this site!! I have been taking Fem Con now for about 10 days and have gained 5 pounds! My face is patchy. My head is killing me and I can't get a good night's sleep. This pill is the devil! I have been bleeding constantly for the past 10 days with no sign of letting up, and don't get my started on my racing heart beat. If a doctor offers this to you--- get a new doctor!!!

I'm 21 and have been on Yasmin for 3 and a half months for bad acne. I was originally on Dianette but experience such severe side effects I honestly thought I'd be hospitalized, so I asked my doctor for Yasmin. All was fine for the first 2 months, but I'm now getting horrible pain in my right leg which won't go away no matter what, coupled with a pins and needles type feeling in my feet. I'm also developing spider veins on my legs, It's got to the point where I'm scared to look at my legs now in case any more have shown up! I've decided I'll come off it in a month or so, but don't know what to do to keep my acne at bay. Does anyone know of any natural remedies? I don't wanna keep messing around with drugs and hormones in case I cause long term damage!
Also, has anyone else gone to their doctor about these side effects, only to find the doctor says 'its nothing to do with the pill' when clearly it is! I saw 3 different doctors about my dianette problems, none of them believed it was down to the pill, but when I stopped taking it, my problems disappeared :/

Thank god tomorrow at 3:50 this devil device is been removed!!! I've had it since April even then I wanted it taken out I bleed very heavily for about a month I stopped then every 2&3 days I'd spot I hated it, it was like the bleeding was my birth control alone so I made an appt to have it removed by the time my appt came a few days later the bleeding stopped and my discomfort with it went away a I decided to give it a shot for a lil longer I mean who doesn't want 5 year birth control and just 18 don't need anymore lol so it went alright for a month or so then I started feeling bloated but I thought it was just me maybe gaining weight another thing is I always want some kind of snack a little after I ate a meal like if I'm always hungry and I know before I got pregnant I'd be like that sometimes before my period but since I don't get it anymore I don't know why I'm like that and then it's be just a couple days when I'd want to munch on things and I just feel not normal to not get my period and I think that's why most have gained weight with the mirena is because instead of it flushing out of your body every months it stays and builds up causing the bloated feeling. Another thing is last week for about 3 nights straight I couldn't sleep because of "hot flashes"!!!I was like what in the world!! And maybe the next day or 2 was when I woke up with the worst cramps omg they were horrible they literally felt like contractions and they lasted a little more than an hour I had to call in my job. I called the doctors office told them the problem and she said my doc would prescribe me Motrin I was like are u kidding me but anyway she also said last month I called around the same time of month that I was having trouble with it so I guess every month when I should be getting those horrible cramps so I'm not going to wait and see any longer I called a couple days later and me an appt to get it taken out I read so many horror stories the last couple days that the long term birth control is not worth screwing your body over in the end so yea I'm going to try the pill and see how that goes.

When I first started Yaz, I did not have a period the first month, then on my second month there was a little spotting one day. On the third month, my boyfriend and I noticed my lack of sex drive. Went from pulling him into the bedroom to, "I don't want to", or "I'm too tired". On the third months cycle, my period lasted 2 full weeks. I have become very tired no desire to get out of bed in the morning and have been late for work a little too often.

I have also become very moody, one moment very loving, and the next like the devil. I have also acquired a fever with no other symptoms of being ill.

I stopped taking the Yaz birth control, and in one day my energy is back my boyfriend is very happy, and I actually got up this morning at decent hour.

Happy once again:

Oh man, the NuvaRing is the devil! I just realized it caused me to gain about 20 lbs., be really depressed (while on Prozac even!), and made me have even worse acne than when I was 16! I've been on it for almost 2 years and I just took it out... for good! Thanks to this website I realized I wasn't crazy! I'm pretty pissed because it had so much potential. Oh well.

My daughter was born in August of 2007; when I heard about Mirena, I was really excited. My sister in law has the copper IUD and loves it. I thought the Mirena was basically the same thing but with a different name. Boy was I wrong. I had the Mirena inserted in March 14, 2008 and ever since then, I feel like my life is slowly falling apart. I have gradually gained 6lbs despite being an avid running and eating well. During my cycle (I tend to gain anywhere from 3-4 lbs of water weight). For the first month, I bled for about 14 day straight, which was not a good time (ruined lots of nice pairs of underwear).
The worst side effect, for me, has been the mood swings; I think I'm psycho; I want to kill my husband most of the time, the poor guy. I have ZERO sex drive, which is also a huge problem for my relationship, so if I keep going at this rate, I think I can blame Mirena for a divorce. Fortunately, I am having this thine REMOVED TODAY!! I cannot wait! I feel as though I was "talked in to" getting the Mirena because I orginally said I wanted an IUD with NO hormones; for some reason though, I left the office with this horrible product. Something needs to be done about this product!
The insertion was not horrible, but it wasn't fun either.
Mirena is the devil!!

I took Yaz for about 6 weeks. After week 4 I noticed I had heart palpitations, shortness of breath, abnormal mood swings - always upset and easily frustrated by the smallest things. The change in my mood was noticed by everyone from my family and boyfriend to co-workers and business associates. I myself noticed this big change. After week 5 I had a huge breakdown where I literally felt my heart thumping out of my chest...it felt like a heart attack (I can only guess). I could not breathe. I brushed it off as nothing (big mistake). Exactly 9 days later I was at work and the exact thing happened to me. This time I could not function - could not breathe, heart palpitations, the works!. I work in the medical field and so I my blood pressure was taken by a colleague and it was 168/108 on the left hand and 159/109 on the right (can you say OMG!!!). Sure enough I was rushed to the ER and they managed to bring my BP within normal range. The doctors told me I was knocking on the door of a pulmonary embolism(PE) (bolt clot in the lung) and/or a heart attack. I am a 24 y/o athletic, very fit, never even had a cold female who is extremely healthy. I take OC for PCOS for about 2+ yrs now. I made the switch from Yasmin to Yaz 6 weeks ago as I wanted to try something new with more 'so called' benefits (fewer periods and helping with moods swings that I also attribute to Yasmin).
I have done so much research and read so many experiences of other women on OC and none have as much reported MAJOR SIDE EFFECTS that Yaz and Yasmin...especially YAZ. While I agree with posts that notes that all OC have side effects; it should be noted well that YAZ is the worst.
Ladies...DO NOT TAKE YAZ IF YOU WANT TO LIVE! This is no joke.
I am happy to report that I am back to my happy healthy self. I am staying clear of all OC and will just live with my PCOS until I am ready to have kids.
Blood clots, PE, heart attack, HTN etc. is no joke. CHOOSE LIFE. They should take this drug off the market.
If you must take an OC, try ortho try-cyclen lo or talk to your doctor in details and to the health risk of them all and the one with the least side effects.
I appreciate this site for affording us ladies the opportunity to share our experiences, learn from the experiences of others and avoid a costly mistake.
God bless.

P.S. - DO NOT TAKE YAZ

SINGULAIR IS A PIECE OF SHIT... PLEASE BE AWARE OF IT'S MOOD CHANGING PROPERTIES, NEVER EVER GIVE YOUR CHILD THIS MEDICATION... IT TOTALLY CHANGES YOUR SON'S BEHAVIOUR....

PLEASE LET EVERYBODY KNOW ABOUT THIS, MY CHILD IS ANOTHER PERSON THANKS TO THIS PIECE OF CRAP MEDICINE...

Two months ago, I gave birth to my son. I have been using the NuvaRing for a week now, and I already have wicked symptoms. I have constant headaches, which I used to get but not as severe or frequent. They would go away with 2 aspirins. I am dizzy and have this rash all over my legs.
I am extremely irritable and snapping at my fiancee and my son for no reason. I am taking it out immediately. I had used the pill for 10 years and never had a problem... I do believe I will have to go back to the pill as it was the most effective method I have used.
DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT!!! NUVARING IS THE DEVIL!!!

I am on my first week of the second month with femcon, I am undecided about this pill, I used to never get severe headaches, now I am getting about 1 per day. I am nauseated unless I am eating for about 10 hrs after taking the pill. My doc prescribed this pill for me because I was having hot flashes. (i am 25, to soon for hot flashes) I feel like I did when I first starting taking my first pill years ago. Bloating the week before my periods starts, on my old pill the week I was having my period I would have diarrhea when I ate, with this pill it seems to be the week after my period. The nausea is really like it was when I first started on the pill (7 yrs ago). I normally do not have a squeamish stomach but now....I am going to give this pill the 3 months to let my body adjust. Then I may be requesting a new pill. We will see

I am soooooooo glad to have found this site. I, like many, many of you, also thought there was no way in the world all my symptoms were being caused by the Mirena IUD, because all of my doctors have told me time and time again that the level of hormones being released by this thing is SOOOOOOOO tiny that it couldn't possibly be causing all that's happening. I had the Mirena inserted in February 2007... by August of 2007 I started experiencing hives all over my body that began as a burning/tingling in my hands and feet, and within a matter of a few weeks had spread to my entire body. I now have had this on-going rash (hives) that never has fully gone away for the past 9 months. My doctors all could not tell me at all what was causing it. I have been taking antihistamines like crazy to keep it "in check" but some days even those do no good. My grandma and mother kept telling me to get this IUD out, but I told them it couldn't possibly be from it due to what the doctors had told me and because I'd had it in since February and didn't get hives until August. However, I truly believe this MUST be the cause, as it's the only new thing in my life during that time period... I've always used the same soaps, ate the same foods, and NEVER have I had any outdoor allergies. It MUST be the Mirena. In addition to the hives, I CANNOT LOSE WEIGHT, have stayed at 174 pounds since having this inserted. I have tried exercise, dieting, etc. and notice NO changes. Due to the ongoing hives my body is going through a constant fight against this allergy, and as a result, my neck has a giant cluster of enlarged lymph nodes that will NOT go down in size. Probably because my body never gets rid of this foreign body so it's continually tried fighting it and just can't so they stay swollen. I had my lymph nodes biopsied and I do NOT have cancer... I am going tomorrow morning to have it removed immediately and I will be absolutely STUNNED if it turns out to not be the cause. I am THAT certain the Mirena has caused all of this. I would NOT recommend this IUD to ANYONE. It is absolutely the worst thing I've EVER experienced in my life. I plan to get in contact with the attorney mentioned in an older post below about the class-action lawsuit. I have spent 9 months of living in pure misery with burning, itching, red and swollen hives all over my body, living in total anxiety not wanting to leave my house and have others see me and think I have a disease. Not to mention all the time and medical costs that I have incurred from seeing doctor after doctor that can't diagnose me.

Well folks, its coming off time and it is no fun. i have only been on l5 mg and under for a short time, but im weaning and have laid aside the entire week for that. im tired, very sleepy, headache and feel as if a spoke or two is missing.lol

This is by far the worst pill I have ever taken. Before Yaz I was on Nordette, Ortho Tri cyclen and Alesse. I saw the commercials and got sucked into trying this pill. All I can say is proceed with caution. I ended up taking this pill for the unhappiness 8 months of my entire life. I had problems with other pills causing weight gain (Nordette, Ortho Tri cyclen) or acne (Alesse). However, those symptoms are mild compared to what Yaz inflicted on me.

I have always been described as happy go lucky and Yaz gave me extreme moodiness, panic attacks about my future and life, and major depression. I did have the best skin of my life and lost about 5 lbs but I was an emotional MESS! I would cry at the drop of a hat and find fault in everyone and everything. This symptom didn't start right away but each month I was on Yaz got worse. My friends coined my "alter ego" "she devil." I almost felt possessed at times on this pill. I finally realized it was the pill and not life causing these problems when 3 of my girlfriends had the same problems and got off and the problems went away.

Prior to having this experience I thought people tried to blame too much on the pill but my experience showed me just how much these can mess with your body. I switched back to Alesse 5 days ago and it's like I am a different person--even my skeptical boyfriend noticed the change. As for the acne, I am going to go to a dermatologist to address that. I will be happy to have a few zits as opposed to being a crazy woman.

Proceed with caution on this pill and watch your moods carefully. Just because you've been on it for a few months doesn't mean you're safe. The majority of my emotional disorder started about 5 months in. I do have some girlfriends that like this but most have found it to bring out "she devil".

I was horrified when I saw the news report about singulair on Thursday! My little angel had her first asthma attack when she was 5 years old. She was put on Singulair and has been on it for 5 years. My life has been a living HELL since. Temper tantrums, biting, kicking, screaming, nightmares, waking up during the night, clinging to me constantly, We were unable to take her places because we never knew how she would behave in public I felt like a prisoner. We tried putting her in school but she ran away from the teachers and got into fights with other students. The school said she had A.D.H.D. and severe learning disablities I had to pull her out of school and home school her. Before she was on this Devil medicine she was the sweetest little girl you could come across. She was very polite, respectful, happy, and loving. Her doctor always reassured me that it wasn't her medicine. I have 4 girls and she was the only one who had any problems. I thought as a parent I must be doing something wrong! I prayed for 5 years for this nightmare to end I never dreamed a little 5mg pink evil pill was turning my family's life upside down. I couldn't believe that other parents have gone through the same nightmare. I took her off that same night as the report and will never put her on Singulair again. It's been 5 days and I already see a big difference in her behavior. She woke up singing, laughing, and no fighting with her sisters. She wants to help with chores. She is doing great with her school lessons, and very patient with everyone. I thank God for answering all our prayers and giving us our children back. When everyone goes to sleep at night say A GREAT BIG THANK YOU TO GOD.

I HATE desogen. It's the pill sent directly from the devil himself. I have never felt so lazy, tired, sick, bloated, gassy, disgusting, in my entire life. I have only been on it for not even a full month yet, and I am ready to kill someone. I don't want to get out of bed in the morning, I hate my roommate, I cry when my boyfriend leaves the room, my co-workers drive me insane, and this all started the day I began this dreadful tablet of DOOM! I am always active, happy, spunky, and thin. This spawn of satan ruined me. Desogen gave me an awful itch and gross poop. I am switching to YAZ. Dont go to Planned Parenthood for a prescription-they automatically give you this one.

Doing an article on Yasmin, INFO WANTED on Side Effects that occur after you stop taking the pill

Hey okay so I'm doing an article on Yasmin, the side effects that occur when you stop taking the pill, and would like more information on it. I would like to interview ex users of the pills that have experienced either hair loss, lack of period, severe headaches, and just about anything that resulted. I need to write this article ASAP! All experiences are helpful. I too used to be on the pill, and ever since I stopped taking it my cycle has been out of whack. Please contact me either via email gator924@ufl.edu or through AIM: lipsfullbittin or via phone: 786-239-8751.

While most people know some of the side effects of taking the pill, few know the side effects that occur when you stop taking it. It would be a helpful article to any users or future users of the pill, don't you agree?

I have been on these devil pills to stop breakthrough bleeding and it made it worse!!! As a matter of fact, it added to it. I would have mild acne during my period from time to time. I now look like I have road rash on my face!!! I have tried everything including Proactiv. NOTHING works except getting off of them!

I work out 5 days a week, including weight training. I diet and exercise diligently. I have put on almost 10 pounds in less than 3 months. Not muscle... I can't seem to stop it.

My chest went up OVER a cup size. When you're a C with an athletic body and go up to almost a DD, it is NOT good. I was so desperate to get off of these, I called my doctor and quit mid pack. I was told it's ok so as long as you wait until your next period (not the spotting that comes after quitting mid-pack) to start a new pill. Probably better to wait a couple of cycles.

My advice

===STAY AWAY FROM THESE PILLS===

If you are on them, get off ASAP! Good luck, ladies. Hope this helps someone out!

Are you aware about short and long term side effects of this Devil's drug??? Of course, everybody reacts differently while take or withdraw. But there are high number of people who react terribly bad!!! Doctors do not want to recognize and discuss this. They just keep silent... Do you know exactly how Prednisone works??? Nobody knows this for sure, even doctors!!! From my personal experience, and despite gradual withdrawal, I developed extremely high blood pressure, weakness, panic attacks, depression! Practically it ruined my normal life! Doctors have no clue how to deal with its devastating side effects. Steroids are not selective. When you take a steroid, the drug infiltrates the nucleus of every single one OF YOUR CELLS AND STARTS MONKEYING AROUND WITH GENES IT FINDS THERE!!! It probably plays with hundreds of genes. And just a small number of these genes control the pain and inflammation associated with inflammatory diseases, so steroids turn many of these genes off which is good thing. However, because steroids are not selective, they also regulate the genes that control kidney, liver, BRAIN, and HEART function - which is not good thing!!! It is likely that steroid treatment plays with other genes, too, including those we do not know about a lot right now...So, Prednisone pervades the entire body, which increases the likelihood of short-term side effects and long-term DAMAGE. My advice is: THINK TWICE BEFORE TAKING PREDNISONE!!!

my son was prescribed Singulair melts to put in food for allergies. on day two he has developed a cough that will not stop, a fever and was up before the sun this morning also a bad dream last night. after giving him Tylenol for the fever and Elysium for the cough it hit me that he just finished antibiotics so i checked the web for side effects. i was never told by our family doctor about ANY side effects. i am outraged and he will not be taking this toxic drug ever again. i know my experience is small compared to most of the other stories on this web page but these are our children, our pride and joy why do we want to give them toxic drugs for a runny nose or sneezing and in return we get sleepless, cranky, devil children with night terrors? i think something should be done to stop this drug from being given to any child. what kind of world do we live in? i am appalled at the doctors for letting this happen.

After reading many of your experiences, I feel the urge to tell my story. I got my Mirena put in back in June 2007. My doctor had been encouraging me to try Mirena because I was having such problems with my periods while on the pill and I had tried different types and brands and nothing seemed to be helping me. So, finally after about 2 years of her telling me to try it, I did. Since I have not had children, she said I needed to have it put in while on my period so that my cervix was more open. I called her on the first day of my next period and got it put in. It was very painful to be inserted, and the horrible cramps lasted about 48 hours, but then went away. My period also got worse during that time, but then completely stopped two days later. I didn't get my period again until two weeks ago, which stunned to me. My doctor had said that I may have spotting the first couple months, but then that would stop and I would no longer get my period. Since it has been 6 months since I've had it, I thought it was very odd for me to suddenly be getting my period again. Along with the actual menstruation, I got the cramps, headache, bloating and everything else wonderful that comes along with a full blown period. I only had menstruation for 3 days (the shortest period of my life) but the cramps have continued constantly for the last 2 weeks. I decided I should look up the side effects of Mirena to make sure it wasn't abnormal. I got the same information from their website as I did from the pamphlet I'm sure we all got from our doctor - saying that only a very small percent of woman have any side effects at all. So, I thought I was making things up. But the more I thought about it, the more I realized all the things that have changed for me since I got it put in. That's when I stumbled across this site and found I'm not the only one and I'm not imagining all these things! I gained 30 lbs in the first 3 months - I blamed it on stress because we had just put our house on the market, however I had never in my life gained THAT much weight in such a short period of time. I am now over 200 lbs and I'm only 5'3". I have been desperately trying to take the weight off, but it won't budge and I'm only continuing to gain more. It is getting to the point where my weight is starting to cause other health concerns. Also, I have not had a single good night of sleep since I've had Mirena. I again blamed it on stress (but to be honest, I've lived through much more stressful times in my life without the tremendous weight gain and insomnia). After several weeks of trying OTC sleep aids, I went to my doctor and she gave me a 10 day supply of Ambien. The first 2-3 nights it helped, but then that also stopped working and I was back to sleepless nights. I found there is an herbal supplement that helps me sleep, but it only works for a few hours at a time, which obviously is better than nothing. I have also had cramps on and off throughout the last 6 months, sometimes they are very sharp stabbing pains that make me buckle over in two. I have also realized that I may be having depression - I don't feel suicidal, but I get very down very easily and stay that way for much longer than I ever have. I have actually had such horrible down days that I've called my husband at work crying and begged him to come home. I have never in my life done that until Mirena. I'm sure that I have more symptoms, but I have been able to persuade myself that they are "normal" or explained them away otherwise. I think that Mirena and the OBGYNs must be in cahoots. I was not warned about any of these problems - I was only given the small pamphlet and told it was so wonderful. I think there are a lot of other women out there experiencing all these side effects but their doctors are telling them it's normal or blaming it on something else. And they aren't realizing it is Mirena that is causing all these problems! I have an appointment for next Tuesday to get mine taken out and I cannot wait! I am finally going to be able to sleep again!

I started Yasmin less than two weeks ago. After three days I started to feel like a psycho... always crying over everything... depressed.... moody and tired. After 7days I started having a horrible headache that took three days to go away! I blame this all on the devil pill Yasmin. I have now been off it for two days and am already feeling much better. If your friends and family notice a difference in you and more importantly you know that this just isn't you then I can't think of any other cause that the pill. I have been off it for two days now and am feeling much better. However, I am stuck with another unpleasant period after just having one last week !!! UGH! I think I will give my body a break and use other forms of bc for the meantime. I hope this helps anyone who might be questioning Yasmin.
