Emotional problem symptoms and conditions

Ok.. I've been Neurontin for three or four years up to 800 mg 5 times a day for glossopharyngeal neuralgia (extreme Pain in one of the cranial nerves in the throat) any way when the symptoms go into remission i back off from tacking the drug... Since this is my third time coming off I have really tried to pay attention to the feelings and sensations surrounding sided effects.. The biggest thing that I have noticed is more of an emotional problem. the drug seems to make everything OK.. or mountains seem like mole hills. my first time I came off, I had a hard time sleeping and would find myself crying over nothing... I just couldn't cope with my own mind. I feel like the drug subdued everything, The fog or haze it puts you in sorta makes the whole world a wonderful place. I have lost my sex drive and have a hard time working now.. I'm going off it again slowly and am having a hard time completely letting go because it has kept me from being depressed.. I feel more depressed when coming off neuronton than I did on it. I believe long time use of the drug is some what emotionally addictive.. Just be prepared to feel your emotions again once you are off.

Male, 52. Since being on Lipitor over the last 4 years (3 have been at 20 mg/day) I noticed that I become very 'emotional' during movies and when reading. It's like someone turned on the 'flood gates' for even movies like Transformers and Gost Rider (trash kiddie films). I haven't stopped taking the product because I haven't felt any other of the listed side effects.

Has anyone else had this type of effect????

I started the nuvaring back 7 months ago. I was at first very happy with the results, but slowly I began hating everything, it crept up on me, but about 4 months into it it was in full force. I hated myself, I hated everyone around me, I wanted to cry for no reason. Or find any reason I could to be angry no matter how petty it really was. It took me research to convince me that it was the ring cause these highly emotional feelings. When I finally decided to take the ring out it worked. It wasn't instant, but I started feeling more like my normal self again. I think the research on the nuvaring was not completed before they put it on the market. Upon further research I saw that no one has any results on long term use (but they are assuming it will be the same as the pill). Obviously not. I have taken the pill and have never had long term effects like this. I would encourage anyone out there who is having any kind of emotional problem to take the ring out as soon as possible, don't try to wait it out cause it just gets worse.
