Disrespect symptoms and conditions

I am 20 years old and I have been on Yasmin for the past 2 months. Before then, I was on Norinyl for about 2 or 3 years. For the first year of Norinyl, everything seemed to be okay. I was the happiest girl you could ever meet, and no one I knew enjoyed life more than me. I was never negative, and I never used to say the word "hate", or talk about "killing people".

Then, something happened, for whatever reason and I started to have severe mood swings. I was very irritable and angry at random times. This occurred while I was still on Norinyl, but my gyno and I thought maybe it was just because I was an 18 year old girl and that's just how they are sometimes. Norinyl helped relieve serious cramps I used to get in my legs, and regulated my period.

After a few months I told my gyno that I could not take these mood swings anymore. So she told me to take Norinyl straight through so that I would not get a period every month. (So I took it the way you would take Yasmin). However, things did not change. Finally we decided to try Yasmin.

Now I am on my third pack of Yasmin, and I have completely changed. I am not the same girl AT ALL. My boyfriend noticed it before I did and he is the one who checked this site. After reading all of your comments, we have realized that Yasmin is the problem.

Even though I got mood swings when I was on Norinyl, they were not half as bad as these mood swings. I talk about how I "hate" everything. I hate my life and the bad people in this world. I hate people that treat women badly and I hate women that disrespect their bodies. I want to kill everyone who offends women and all of the strippers in the world. (I have never ever been such an angry person). I am always tired and cranky. I cry almost every night for no reason at all. I feel very depressed and sad. I have become illogical when I experience a mood swing and I keep arguing with the people I love even though I know I'm wrong. I tried to control it and stop acting this way, but I could not. I have also been heavily spotting for the past 2 weeks straight.

So I just called my gyno after reading these comments, and the first thing she asked me was if I had taken any antibiotics. I said no. So ladies, if you are taking an antibiotic and Yasmin, please tell your doctors immediately because apparently, it can be a serious problem. Then she told me that I could have something out of place. I forgot what she said. It was something that started with "thy..." (like thyroid? or something) She said that we would look into it because if that is knocked out of place, that will cause bleeding and maybe even mood swings.

For those of you who cannot take the pill anymore and want to know some other options....My gyno told me that she would talk to me about Nuvaring and the shot. The shot does not have any estrogen in it. And nuvaring is inserted into you for one month, and then you go get a new one put in place. These are options that I am going to talk about with my gyno today. Thank you for listening and I appreciate your advice. I hope I helped someone.

oh please your all a bunch of whiners. I don't understand that when people get something medically new that they seem to blame every little thing on it!!! seriously!!! if it were so bad it would not be on the market..... i have had it for two years.....a little cramping in the beginning which is NORMAL and as STATED on the side effects list. YOU MUST UNDERSTAND that these are listed because they DO AND HAVE happened to other people. That is why they are listed! NOW if you died, got cancer, pregnant or what have you then you can bitch. BUT PLEASE don't complain about the LISTED side effects. it is a wonderful product and it does just as it claims. yea the cramping sucks....the spotting is a pain.....men can feel it during intercourse and yes sometimes they can bump it and hurt you. also it causes cysts to grow on your ovaries which can sometimes require surgery. it can also grow outside your uterine wall at time. and it can fall out. all kinds of things can happen that are LISTED. what i would recommend people should do BEFORE they leap into bed with a new contraceptive is RESEARCH the SIDE EFFECTS BEFORE you decide you want it or not. its simple read the damn sheet and decide if you can live with the side effects. maybe one....or all...or none. THEN DECIDE.

I was on Lipitor 20 mg also for about a year. During that time I experienced breathing problems and muscle aches. The Doctor told me to take Co Q10 which helped w/ the muscle aches. But I ended up cutting the pills in half, to help w/breathing a lot. When I told my my Doc that-she said go back up to full dose, I tried for 3 days and was so short of breath I couldn't walk up a flight of stairs.
I stopped and went out and got a $129 heart scan instead. The insurance co. won't pay for it, but the 129 will be made up in three months of not buying this horrid pill. I've since rec. two letters from Lipitor saying they noticed I'm not taking my pills as prescribed.....nice

I got my Mirena in a few months ago, on a second attempt. I've never had a child, so there was some difficulty in opening my cervix enough to push it in, so I had to go back with my period for another insertion, which was painful, but not terrible. The first two weeks were great. I had no cramping at all, and some spotting, but even that was mostly just when I used the bathroom, and not when I was up and walking around.
The first complaint I had was that my boyfriend could feel the string. It wasn't even just an awareness that it was there, but severe pain that hit him every time he bumped it. We stopped having sex.
Then, I started being a complete bitch. I have a history of clinical depression, and have been treated and it hasn't been an issue for a few years, but I know depression, and this is not it. I've also been stressed out. This is not it. This is like my worst PMS ever, multiplied by ten, constant, and increasing every day. I'm a teacher, and I've been finding myself yelling at my kids when the do the littlest thing wrong. I've screamed at my mother when she's trying to be helpful, and I've hung up on my boyfriend when I was pissed at him for no reason. I have NEVER experienced such irritability, and I have NEVER treated the people I love with such disrespect. I'm worried that if this keeps happening, it will ruin my life.
I've also gained significant weight. I have always been a slim woman, and now my clothes don't fit. If anything, I have been more active and eating less calories since I've had my Mirena inserted. And wrestling my pants on in the morning doesn't exactly help the irritability.
Then, one morning, I woke up with INTENSE throbbing pain in my lower abdomen. I was about to get myself to the hospital when it stopped. The next day, I felt for my string. Gone. The next day, it was back. The next day, gone. I went to see my doctor, and after much poking and prodding, she was unable to find the string, gave me a pregnancy test (like I'd been having sex...) and scheduled me for an ultrasound. Since then, I've experienced awful cramps. My doctor thinks the intense pain was an ovarian cyst bursting (which makes sense with my medical history), and the cramping caused by that made the Mirena shift up, which then caused more cramps as it resettled into a new place. She insists that the ultrasound will likely show everything is fine, and that it won't be a big deal until five years from now, when they have to figure out some way to remove the Mirena without it's string, ie dilating my cervix and using clamps to pull it out.
I have asked to have my Mirena removed on several occasions, and my doctor insists that it will get better, and I just have to tough it out. I know that I cannot continue to experience this irritability or pain, and I do not want to see if the weight continues to pack on. On Tuesday I have my ultrasound, and then an appointment with a different doctor to tell me the results and have it removed.
I was on these boards before my insertion, and shortly after, and thought all these side effects were crap, and that the posters were just the 1 out of 10 women who don't recommend the Mirena to their friends. I was sure that it wouldn't happen to me, but boy was I wrong. I believe the statistics the Mirena website gives are completely flawed, and I would NEVER recommend this to a friend, or even an enemy.

My daughter is 5 years old and has been on singulair for 1 week. i have already noticed a dramatic change in her behavior. she has become irritable, mean, nasty, and emotional. she has had me in tears on a daily basis. she has turned into a monster. we will be calling the doctor in the morning!
