Excitement symptoms and conditions

I have had my Mirena since 11/2008. I had it put in 2 months after my 2nd child was born. The insertion was easy and painless. I got a little crampy the first week and then after that all hell broke loose. I had a continuous non stop period from November 08 to June 09. I called my doctor several times and they put me on a hormone patch to try to stop the bleeding. It didn't work. I was told that the bleeding should stop by 6 months so I figured I would put up with it until then. 6 months approached and still bleeding, 7 months still bleeding, 8 months still bleeding. Finally at 9 months the bleeding stopped and I was thrilled. My excitement didn't last long. After one week of having no period and being excited I started developing what I thought was morning sickness. My breasts hurt, morning sickness (day and night), bloating, exhaustion, and so on. I thought for sure that I was pregnant. I made an appointment to see the doctor who informed me that my Mirena was still in place. She also did a urine pregnancy test and blood test, which both came back negative. She had no answers for why I was experiencing the symptoms. Now 3 weeks later, I still am having the side effects. My gut is telling me that it is a new side effect from the IUD. I believe that my body is now confused with the loss of a period and it is acting like I am pregnant. I have taken 6 pregnancy tests at home over the last several weeks, terrified that I am pregnant because of how I am feeling. I have had enough and called the doctor today to have it removed tomorrow. I am not going through the symptoms of pregnancy as my pregnancies were rough. I had morning sickness with both my children morning, noon and night the entire time and it was awful. I am definitely not going to put up with the feeling of being pregnant and all the nasty morning sickness feelings without the reward of an actual baby at the end. I would not recommend Mirena to anyone!

I just had my Mirena placed on 6/8 and have already started to feel the effects that others are describing. I got engaged on 6/5 and have noticed that I feel depressed and have seemed to lost all excitement about it. My fiance keeps asking me what is wrong, because I am not myself - now I think I know why! I am constantly tired now - nothing has changed to my routine except the Mirena and I didn't used to be this way before. I have had brown discharge and cramping since the day it was put in. The first day I felt like I was having labor pains - VERY SEVERE pain! It hasn't been as severe, but I have to take 2 Aleve every morning for my cramps. I have only had sex once since I had it put in because it is very painful afterwards and I cramp/bleed...not exactly something to look forward to! I have no sex drive, because I am worried about bleeding or having the brown discharge during as well as immediately after. I have noticed breakouts on my chest & back as well. Oh - and my hair is normally slightly oily, but it has been out of control oily starting last week. I have also gained a couple of pounds in the last two weeks and that is after I started my diet back up again last week. I don't feel like myself at all - I have extremely irritable - like I have constant PMS. I was hoping to just deal with it and work through it, but after reading these stories I really think I just want to make an appt to get it out before it gets worse! I don't want to keep feeling like I am in a fog & on the verge of depression!

I just don't look forward to things anymore. I don't feel depressed. I enjoy things once doing them. But the anticipatory excitement is gone.

i'm so glad i found this site. i've been using the nuvaring for around five years. i can't remember exactly. i thought it was great at first. i get really sick on other bc. but i started getting leg cramps recently and i also had a gallbladder attack and they found three small gallstones. i'm a very healthy person so i was concerned but i didn't relate these things to nuvaring. my boyfriend moved out of my apt. we had been together for 7 years and living together for almost 3. i'm starting to go back and realize the depressed feeling i've had for years now. i didn't realize it could be NR. i lost my motivation, i was performing terribly at my new job that i started 3 years ago (couldn't focus the way i should and i always do well at work) luckily, i still have my job but it's been a struggle emotionally. i wasn't' really interested in anything and couldn't get back into my own personal artwork. i thought i was depressed in my relationship and work but now i'm thinking again this might be the nuvaring. could all of the 'bad luck' i've had in these last couple of years be that? it's hard to blame it on that but reading everyone else's reviews is starting to really scare me. i knew something felt off but i didn't know what it was. as the years have gone on i have lost my excitement for things. arghhhhh! this is so frustrating. i only started looking up nuvaring side effects because i heard something about blood clots and i started getting bad leg cramps. i played competitive tennis when i was young through college and other players would get leg cramps but i never did. now i'm getting them and i work out a lot.

5 months Singulair free,yesterday was Matts first day of high school,his first day of regular school in 2 years as he could not leave the house or cope with out panic and fear.7am he awoke by himself and got ready for school,the only thing i saw in his eyes was excitement,he left the house smiling.While he was gone i passed and worried waiting for the phone to ring in case he needed me ,watching the clock and wondering how his day was. he arrived home at 2 thirty still smiling,i asked him how his day was he said fine, i asked him what they did he said nothing ,lol all is good ,thank you thank you thank you

I have been on topomax for nearly a year and have many of the same problems you guys have but a new one has popped up on me that scared the shit outta me and no one can seem to figure out what is causing it.
During sex just before orgasm my brain felt like it was going to explode!!
All I could do was hold my head in my hands and roll on the bed. this pain lasted for almost 8 hours. the next day i felt fine and went motorcycle riding and while racing my buddy and while passing him(More Excitement) It hit again and it was all I could do to stay on the bike. Went to the hospital and they did cat scans mri ,mra tests and have found nothing wrong w/my head .So my ? is could this be coming from my topomax??

Has anyone had extreme heavy bleeding/clots after having the Mirena removed? This is day 3. The last time I had such heavy bleeding I had just had my son. When do you start to worry about the bleeding?

I started Yasmin in the beginning of the month and from day one I started feeling lack of emotion, I felt like I could laugh and was generally happy but didn't feel upset when I should have been and couldn't feel love, warmth or excitement like I did before starting Yasmin. 2 weeks towards the end of the month I couldn't sleep properly and started having crazy dreams and in every dream somebody is trying to kill me or something happens in the dream where I feel like Im going to die. Totally disturbing as I have never had dreams actually Nightmares like this before. And the PMS has totally taken the cake... I am so angry, irrational, depressed, snappy, and emotional through the pms...its been terrible not only for me (not being able to control it) but for everybody close to me. Im thinking of going off it at the end of the month... but then again some ppl say its just adjusting and it might be better next month, but Im almost too scared to try.

Had a PE in both lungs 10.07 on warfarin 5mg a day, very sore ,aching joints, tried, HOT FLASHES day and night , just tried hard to find excitement. I'm 46yrs was very active, had lots of engery. Can't drink alchol. Feeling very old. Carpal tunnel worse in elbows feels likes the needal goes right threw the bone.

Impotence, etc:

I have been on Geodon for about 8 months to treat my schizophrenia. It has given me sexual dysfunction: decreased libido, impotence, decreased sensation and excitement, and premature ejaculation. I did not have these problems before I started antipsychotic medicine. I had my testosterone and prolactin levels checked and they are normal, so it is most likely the medicine. I am rather angry that I wasn't warned that this could happen from my medicines.

Other side effects I have experienced are dizziness and teeth clenching. The dizziness went away after my dose was increased to 120 mg. The teeth clenching went away after a few months. Geodon also seems to have affected my sleep. I would sleep about 12 hours a night. However, the long sleeping has decreased over the months to about 9 hours of sleep per night.

Despite these side effects, the Geodon has successfully treated my hallucinating and delusions. I occasionally experience anhedonia and it isn't clear yet whether or not the Geodon treats this. It certainly doesn't treat it on a lower dose. I hope this information is helpful to other people.

I was put on low dose prednisone 6 days ago for poison ivy. I took 8 pills first day, 6 2nd day, 4 third day, 3 5th day, 2 6th day and then one today and one tomorrow. Short-term use, but feel I would have rather suffered the itching and severe rash! My heart is racing almost all the time, breathing is rapid, feeling of excitement most of the day, however, also fatigued. Weight gain of 2# and my belly feels like it has a lead basketball in it - although I can eat continuously. Heartburn has reappeared in my life despite being on 2 different medications for this already. Yesterday I began feeling life is surreal - real clear and unusual. I feel for those of you who have to be on it for lengths of time. This is one nasty drug that I wish they could refine the side effects of SOON.

I discovered this site on Monday and stopped taking Yasmin on Tuesday. I've been on the pill for four years and had asked my doctor multiple times if my depression, anxiety and moodiness could be related to the pill. You know the answer. I felt such a sense of relief after reading everyone's experiences. I too am an upbeat person although I have a strong tendency to worry but it was never to the point of not getting out of bed, crying over very silly things and just know excitement about living life. With a new boyfriend and a new job, I thought I was just going through some MAJOR adjustments although in hindsight it's ridiculous to have lived feeling that crappy for so long. The side effects definitely got worse after the first year and that's when my libido started to tank as well.

It's only been a few days and I'm so elated to think that I'm going to get MY LIFE BACK that I'm optimistic the side effects many have mentioned in trying to get off Yasmin will not effect me. I will endure because anything's got to be better than how it's been. Thank you all very much!!!

Went to the Dr due to stress on the job, elder parents, and new marriage. I was on Efexor 75 and my Dr increased the dose to 150 due to no improvement on 75. I felt numb no crying, no excitement just going through the emotions of every day life. In two weeks time on 150 I felt more lifeless and my hair is falling out by the handfuls. I went to see a dermatolgist and he told me I reminded him of someone on chemo and not to be surprised if I lost all my hair! Has anyone had problems with hair loss? My Dr has dropped me back to 35 and wants me to start Wellbutrin. I think I am going cold turkey. I don't want to be bald! Thanks for reading.

I started taking this drug last January and it gave me so much pain. I had tremors and finger twisting last April. Everytime I would do something new or do something that requires courage....I tremble and would not try to do it because of anxiety. I started to get palpitations everytime I wake up and the excitement I had in my life disappeared.
I got so depress and emotional crippled. I asked the doctor about it but she said refuse to comment that the medicine has an adverse effect on me. I am seeking another doctor to know if there is another medicine aside from Levoxyl so I can be my normal self again.

Having had difficulties with birth control pills in the past, I was so excited to discover Yasmin. I had no breast tenderness, nausea or weight gain as I had with all the others. However, my excitement soon turned into horror...literally. I began experiencing shortness of breath, hot flashes, shakes and anxiety attacks. I had difficulty concentrating and remembering things. It never occurred to me it was Yasmin so I contacted a psychiatrist instead of my ob/gyn. As I was waiting for him to return my call, I discovered this web site and realized I'm not crazy! I told him about the posts concerning Yasmin and anxiety. He had never heard of the connection but was glad to be advised (as I was). I am now off Yasmin and feel better already! Thank God for sites like this.
