Feeling of dread symptoms and conditions

Thank God for Google and these websites. I had the mirena placed in April of '08. I have and still have the severe cramping, the bleeding, the low libido. But as of Saturday a new symptom has arrived. I am having some bad anxiety. I am a very strong, super happy, loving person and have never had anxiety. And since Saturday it hasn't stopped. I have this absolutely awful feeling of dread. I called my doctor to set-up an appointment with a therapist as I am starting to really get scared that this won't ever go away. And then I started thinking and googled mirena side effects; just to have a look. And lo and behold, there are many of you with the same thing. You have NO IDEA how grateful I am to learn this. I truly thought I was going crazy or would have to be put on some medication. I made the appointment and this shit is coming out tomorrow morning!!! THANK YOU! If anyone could answer this question, how long until you felt "normal" again???

chest pains, severe anxiety, panic attacks, irregular heartbeats, upper leg pain, night sweats, dizziness, mood swings, muscle spasms, unexplained feeling of dread, fear and doom, depression

This is my second day w/ Z-Pak. Almost immediately after taking the first dose it felt like someone had punched me in the stomach. I had been feeling so bad though for 2 weeks + I just figured it was probably just from being sick anyway. Well, I had extremely vivid nightmares that woke me up several times last night, followed by an odd feeling of dread or anxiety. I didn't realize these were common side effects and just chalked it up to something I could've possibly seen on tv earlier in the day. Today since I've been awake I've had a terrible headache, and my stomach (while I haven't used the bathroom at all) still feels like I've been punched, only the pain is more severe. I didn't think any medicine could have side effects that worked this fast, which is what let me to even looking up this medication online. I never experience side effects from medicines and have never had an allergic reaction to almost anything I've taken. This is extremely weird for me. I'm having a terrible time trying to make it through the day, and the anxiety/fear/dread just seems to get worse by the hour. So far it hasn't really taken away my symptoms for bronchitis, but i'm hoping after a couple more days i'll feel better....

i had mirena fitted in oct 08 and ever since have not been myself. i've been anxious and depressed, constantly worried and convinced im going to get an illness and die. i was never like this before i was always optimistic and positive, now i'm like a crazy person. i've tried other homone contraception and none suits, this was my last option, my husband has offered to have the snip i've been that bad. i've been having 3 periods a month, back ache and serious period pain, which i have never had before.
my doctor has also told me he is fully supportive if i want it out as he isn't a fan, he also said very few doctors would admit to it causing any of the side effects, but he whole heartedly believes it does. i also have period pain that radiates out to in my hip, very weird! there are lots of ladies the mirena suits but i am definitely not one of them.

EXTREME PSYCHOTIC SIDE EFFECTS

I want to preface this by stating that I have never had any mental problems aside from occasional depression, and I have never taken any anti-depressants, or similar drugs, or even ever done any illegal drugs, nor do I drink.

I never would have thought in a million years that an antibiotic would have given me such extreme mental side effects. I was given Z-Pak after a tooth extraction as I had a bad (and similar) reaction to Clindamycin.

I was on the 250 MG X 3 days. After the first day I started to suffer from depersonalization. Depersonalization, in my opinion, is the worst thing that can happen to anyone. Essentially I felt like I was dead, in limbo. Nothing mattered. I questioned reality. I felt like a ghost. It was so bad that I had to break out the Bible.

I had to take Valium in order to sleep, as I would wake up in the middle of the night and have an utterly terrifying feeling of dread. I would wake up and "realize" that I did not exist and have a panic attack.

It has been since December 2nd and only now am I feeling anything close to normal mentally.

Ever since day 5 after taking the drug, I have a burning sensation in my upper abdomen on both sides and a pain in my right side. I just pray to God that this damned drug has not burned out my liver.

Worse yet, I had to be put on Doxycycline, as the Z-Pak did not work, and my extraction site became reinfected.

Thank God the Doxycycline is apparently working with no side effects.

The only positive thing about my horrific experience with Z-Pak is that I went to confession and communion and have accepted Jesus as my savior again in my life.

I also have realized that hell does not need the fire and brimstone. The depersonalization I suffered was the same as separation from God. It was the worse experience ever, and I have been through some tough stuff.

I realize that each drug affects everyone differently, but I have read too many posts listing mental side effects to think that my experience was an anomaly.

If you must take this antibiotic, be sure you understand that it can knock you on your ass if you are not expecting it.

I was given a 5 day supply of Levaquin for bloody urine ad possible urinary tract. After 5 days, there has been no decernable effect on my urinqary system but each morning I wake up with an unreasonable feeling of dread and force myself back to sleep.

after 2 weeks of taking this drug I keep getting short sharp pains on the left lower side of my chest. EKG was fine, but it feels scary. Never had this before so I think it is a side effects of this drug. Anybody else have this experience?

Hi Danielle here, I have posted in the past, I was wondering if any of you that suffered from anxiety, and nausea post Mirena, when did you see an improvement, was it after a couple cycles? Are any of you on an anti- anxiety meds? They say that when the anxiety goes that the rest follows, is there truth to this? I am 4 weeks post removal and I still wake up with the feeling of dread, I take Lorazepam to help, but I am sick of taking a med I just want to feel like "me" again, what an uphill battle, while I do notice an improvement these pat 2 weeks to the 1st two weeks I am still very concerned about the anxiety and nausea, I went to the mall yesterday for 3 hours, and came home a wreck! crying, dread, I hate it, can anyone please tell me when I should expect to see an improvement? I know it is different for all but any information would be appreciated.

I've been on Topamax since just Tuesday, 10/9/07. I find that I get very tired a couple hours after taking it and I have horrible nightmares and very dark thoughts, too. Diet coke tastes so HORRBILE which is bad because I loved my diet cokes, but then again I guess that's good b/c I need to stop drinking them anyway. My worst side effect is that I have horrible mood swings. Is this normal? Is this going to go away over time? Because if not, I'm going to stop taking it now. This is not like me and I am not going to subject my family to this - losing weight is not THAT important to me. Thanks for any help. :(

P. S. I'm taking 25 mg in the morning, afternoon and evening.

I have had numbness in my face. I sleep a lot. Total nightmares, suicidal thoughts. Feeling of dread something really bad is about to happen. Anxiety, Crying spells, which I'm sure come from the bottomless pit of depression it has caused in me. My 5 year old asked me where her other Mommy is. Yes.. My daughter can even tell.

My hair is falling out. I have lost most of my eyebrows.

I'm calling my doctor Monday, getting switched and I'm going to do a lot of investigating about this crap. I am really wondering about suicidal risk of this stuff. Maybe another little drug cover up. I really believe that depression and suicidal thoughts should be clearly stated to potential consumers.

And now I am really mad about this.

Kim Age 47 taking for 2 months now and my side effects seem to just mount.

About 2 months ago I was having terrible problems with anxiety, nervousness, feeling of dread and doom, feeling of being detached from myself, shortness of breath, chest pain, nausea, gastrointestinal upset, palpitations, feelings of panic, parnoia, fatigue and leg cramps. I would just feel sick at my stomach all the time. I did not want to be around people except for my family. I did not want to be in public places. I could not understand what was going on. I felt like I was losing my mind. One day I was trying to find a way to help my anxiety when I found this site. I was so thankful to find it because I realized I was not the only one feeling this way and had not linked my Yasmin to these problems. Once I found the site I realized my problems had begun after starting Yasmin. They had gradually became increasingly worse until I felt like I couldn't take it anymore. I stopped taking Yasmin soon as I read the postings. I called my GYN and she said this was probably not the reason for my problems, but to stop taking Yasmin to see if the symptoms went away. She said these were unusual side effects, but according to this site they are not so unusual. After a week of being off I still did not feel very much better so I started taking a herbal remedy as a cushion to help me make it until this was out of my body. It has been 2 months now and I feel physically better, but the emotional side effects still linger. Some days are good but I have days that have waves of anxiety, panic and irrational thoughts rush over me. I just want to be my old self again. Does anybody know if you ever get back to your old self?
