Emotional swings symptoms and conditions

OMG!!!! I've suffered all these side effects and just didn't realize it was this damned pill. I even visited by OBGYN about the lack of lubrication and pain during intercourse and we have not been able to come up with an explanation until now. Even my eyes were affected and my optometrists could not explain the vast changes. lets not even talk about the depression, i made some one else's life a total misery with my emotional swings . OMG!!!!!!! I
ve been off it for a few months and i actually started having feelings again and my emotions have been so much more stable.........I'm forwarding this site to all my gfs ................

I had 2 surgeries at once last week and was prescribed Meprozine 1-2 capsules every 4-6 hours. The first 4 days I took 2 at a time and within 20 minutes my pain was gone, I felt relaxed and a little drowsy and was able to nap, which I needed for at least the first two days after my surgery. Twice in 4 days, one of my legs twitched and once my arm twitched. After the first 4 days, I would take only 1 as needed, usually in the evening after I has been up all day and was in a little pain. I had slight dizziness when I first stood up the first day only when I would get up to go to the bathroom. Other than that, I had no nausea, and I have to eat something before I take any medication, no stomach pains, no allergic reactions (I am allergic to medications with codeine in it), no depression, no emotional swings (in fact, if I wasn't sleeping, I was so relaxed that I was able communicate normally, laugh, make my normal jokes, etc.), I did not hallucinate or see things. I was also on an antibiotic, which my pharmacist said would make me very thirsty so I attributed my dry mouth to that. Last year, I was prescribed several different strong pain medications for severe chronic headaches and they did nothing. I would recommend Meprozine for short term relief for pain management. I do know someone who got addicted to Meprozine after taking it everyday for several months because a doctor kept prescribing it to her, so it is definitely only to be used for short term use. If I ever have to have surgery again, dental work, or need something for pain management, I will be asking my doctor for a one time prescription for Meprozine.

Hello! I'm 27 and I've been taking Yasmin for probably 7 years and never had a single problem. My weight stayed the same, my periods got VERY regular, to the DAY, and things were ok.

Starting about 3 months ago I was on my honeymoon and decided to skip my period that month which I do a few times a year and Yasmin never let me down! Anyways my period came anyways and not only that, but I spotted an extra week after! It was most noticable in the mornings after having sex. It was just brown and yucky. Then I didn't have a period the next month, only 24 hours of brown and this month I had a regular one. On top of that I've suddenly gained 5 pounds without changing ANYTHING. I wonder, can Yasmin suddenly screw me up so many years after I started taking it? I hear horror stories about Yasmin but I only see it from women taking it for a few months or maybe a year? It was always so good to me. What's going on? The weight gain terrifies me too because I so easily gain weight and I've been trying so hard to eat well and I feel like it's been pointless. It ticks me off more because I have to pay $50 a month for Yasmin even AFTER insurance pays 15, and now I think it's messing my body up too.

I have a OBGYN appointment in a few weeks and I'm going to talk to her about it and see about getting on a new pill anyways for price reasons, but do you think all these weird sudden symptoms are from Yasmin? Can you recommend a pill? I can't afford to gain anymore weight. I just can't...

Hi... I started using Jasmin a month ago. The primary reason for starting Jasmin was PMDD. Prior to taking it I was showing symptoms of PMDD, mild depression, hopelessness etc etc... since starting Jasmin I have not had the huge emotional swings but I seems like I have become very angry and have little interest in much at all. I too have also noticed I'm beginning to put on weight and my stamina for fitness has dropped considerably. I am very tired all the time, my eyes are quite dry and I have started getting cramps at night when I am asleep. I have been off any birth control for the last 8-9 years and was anxious to start taking BC again due to side effects...after reading all these posts I am thinking strongly about coming off Jasmin. But then how do I combat the PMDD ? The pill was also a way to be able to stop my menstrual cycle to help combat endometriosis...

I have been on this drug now for 4 months. The first week i did experience the loopines and the loss of memory. My symptons went a way it has been a god send I have lost 37 lbs and also am sleeping (I have chronic lack of sleep issures) this has been the best drug I have been prescribed after being diagnosed with bi-polar disease. I has helped even out emotional swings and has allowed me to live a more normal life. I am a great fan of this drug...THANKS DR.!!!!!!!

I just wanted to add my experience for everyone looking just like me. I started using the Nuva Ring after having a scare with the pill in November. For a while I felt pretty good but I think thing are getting progressively worse. I've had extremely intense headaches at least once a month that are completely debilitating. I have also started having intense emotional swings every month since i've been on the pill. I just changed jobs recently and thought that a lot of my moods were due to that but now I'm realizing that the mood swings start 1-1 1/2 weeks before my period is supposed to start, lasting until my period is done. During the rest of the month I feel relatively normal. The mood swings include everything from spur of the moment crying, to anxiousness, to anger, apathy etc. I've been thinking that the ring was why but I really hadn't been sure until I started reading other people's experiences. I did experience itching although not every month, and more during the 1st week of having it in. I did not experience breakthrough bleeding. Also, I have experienced a delayed period every month, (taking it out Sun. and not bleeding till Thurs.). I would appreciate any feedback from anyone on here with opinions or experiences. Thanks!

I've been taking synthroid for several years due to radiation caused thyroid damage. I appear to be quite sensitive to Synthroid. I get a total rush from a 77 mcg, but have no such effect when taking a 50 plus a 25. I've been told it is due to the dye in the 77. If my doses are too low (50 mcg), then I feel great for a week or two, but become foggy mentally and after a few weeks have sharp pains in the joints and muscles. At higher doses, I become irritable, have shortness of breath (77 mcg) and have burning sensations in the kidney area.

I find that regular exercise (walking 1-2 miles/day) moderates these effects greatly and stabilizes the emotional swings. The amount of medication that I need to balance between these two extremes varies depending on the amount of exercise I get.

I've only been using the ring for about 7 weedays, but I'm having side effects already. First skin breakouts- I'm 31 and haven't had skin like this since I was a teenager. Not fun. Then emotional swings, exaggerated reactions to things, needing to cry a lot. And worst, I haven't been able to orgasm- never a problem for me before-and I can't find info anywhere about why this would be happening. It started the day I put the ring in so is clearly connected. Also I'm still bleeding- usually a 4 day cycle- end of day 7 now. Not sure how long to wait this out or if things will just get worse

I received kenalog for planters faciaitis...one shot in each foot. I also received an injection in the buttocks over a year ago...for edema of the legs. Each injection served its purpose, but both times I have experienced vivid dreaming, strong emotional swings (anxiety to what I would call depression), and headaches due to tension in my neck (related to anxiety??). I will not take another shot unless it is absolutely necessary...I hate feeling like it makes me feel. I cannot wait for the medicine to pass through its active existence in my body. I asked a nurse and doctor about such reactions to Kenalog and they confirmed that it is very possible for people to experience such side effects.

My first cycle on Repronex, about 3 days after my IUI, I experienced very, very sore breasts, this lasted for about a week. I am not sure if it was all Repronex, or the combination of Repronex, and the HCG injection.
I am also experiencing major emotional swings.
