Good mood symptoms and conditions

I'm experiencing positive effects. I have been more alert, confident, attentive, and worry less. I seem to be living life instead of just going through the motions. I'm having fun happy dreams and wake up in a good mood. This has never happened. I'm taking on more projects at work and enjoy more playtime with my sons. I'm 33 years old and have been on Chantix for over a month. I still smoke less than 5 cigarettes a day but feel I could go with out those.

hi guys it me again. i went to the doctors yesterday and had the mirena taken out. i feel 100 times better. i slept through the night, my stomach isn't bloated anymore, im actually happy and in a good mood. i did start my period so we shall see how long the bleeding lasts.
my doctor did tell me a little about the "mini pill" and paraguard. does anyone have any input on these birth controls?

The nausea is tolerable, generally short-lived as long as I eat prior to taking the Chantix and drink plenty of water.

I have a sense of...fogginess....detachment, while at the same time, seem to sense clear hidden messages in the way people look at me, in what they're saying to each other, and to me. Yep, it's probably paranoia.

The nightmares are horrible. I dream specifics about deaths of loved ones, in horrible detail. I also awaken at least once a night gasping in terror, unable to get a breath.

The thoughts of suicide are strangely comforting and don't seem wrong at all. I'm depressed, but comforted knowing that I can end it if I really want to. Bizarre and I know it on some level at least.

I'm bruising easily this time. I mean REALLY easily. A small bump results in a hard, raised, dark bruise.

I developed a rash on my stomach that's been there for 3 days but seems to be clearing today.

This is my 2nd time taking Chantix and I'm 3 weeks in. I had the same symptoms last time and expected them this time. I'm smoke free but plan to continue with the Chantix as long as possible. The urge to give in and have one cigarette is too strong post Chantix. I tell myself everyday that the thoughts are NOT me, and that I can let them come and not act on them because it's the drug, not me.

**Reporting back on my 17 year old son, 7 years on Singulair**
After enduring so much for the past several years, I think that I am seeing definite changes **YEAH** It has been just over 4 weeks since he took his last dose of singulair. He reports "I slept like a baby....I hit the pillow and lights out." I think that singulair somehow disrupts the normal sleep patterns of some individuals resulting in many of the emotional / behavioral disturbances that everyone writing on this website is reporting. If any of you have been sleep deprived for several days -- taking care of a child or relative or for any other reason, if you are like me, you tend to be a grouchy, short tempered and basically not in a very good mood. If Singulair has been depriving our children of a good night's rest for however long they have been taking it, think of how that will affect their daily behavior. I would say my son is much calmer and happier now and he is definitely noticing that he sleeps much better than before.

I just started taking Yasmin last month. Throughout the month I couldn't realise why I wasn't my self at all. I was extremely anti-social, which is extremely out of my character. I was waking up feeling depressed not even wanting to get out of bed. I would cry at the drop of a hat! I was in the grocery store getting some vitaman B12, which just so you know does help with your mood and temprorarily was the only thing that would. I would also CONSTANTLY feel hungry, to the point of eating double the amount I regularly could. In the past month I have gained about 5 pounds, and I am very active.
This past week I haven't been taking them because I have been on my period, and I notice I actually wake up in a good mood, and feel so much happier. My appetite is back to normal after a few days, i guess cause I wasnt on the pill that long. I'm defintly going to try something else because I just didn't feel my self at all. What you guys are describing is exactly how I would feel... and I was afraid it would cause problems between friendships, and my relationship with my boyfriend. Defintly don't recommend this pill at all.

I have been on Yaz for almost 3 months, and have had reverse side effects. They said that it will help with PMS, Acne, and shorter periods. NONE of these things are true. PMS: I have been crying on the drop of a dime. I am barely ever in a good mood anymore, and people are starting to say things to me at work. I am MISERABLE. I am irritated easily, VERY paranoid, with no reason to be, and am picking fights with everyone, again, with no reason. It is driving my boyfriend crazy. ACNE: I had pimples here and there before I started this birth control, but now it has gotten VERY bad. It is all over my face and I feel helpless. Shorter Periods? Yeah right! Before I started Yaz, I had periods lasting for at most 4 days. My periods since Yaz have been up to 7 days! AND they start early...I have 2 pills left and I just got my period today. I am getting off this pill IMMEDIATELY, I am going to try Lo-Estrin next, hopefully it'll work better than Yaz!

Hi everyone, I've been off Yaz for two weeks now and have had severe depression, emotional numbness, anxiety, muscle weakness, migraines, and on and on. The symptoms are actually getting worse in some ways since I went off the Yaz.

I'm hoping someone can tell me whether they've had any success in going on another birth control pill after Yasmin/Yaz in order to stabilize side-effects of depression and anxiety, which are what freaks me out the most. I've been off Yaz for two weeks now and if anything my side-effects have gotten worse. I'm seeing a doctor and trying to figure out what's going on, but in the meantime I am desperate to feel like myself again. I'd rather not go on anything else hormonal for the long-term, but I'm considering going back on an older, completely different prescription (Loestrin) which didn't cause me any psychological side-effects. One of my doctors says it should be fine, but the other doesn't want me to do it. Has anyone else felt an improvement in depression and anxiety from going onto a different pill prescription? Thanks for your help!!

I just started on Geodon and i was freaked out when i saw the side effects! but i gave it a try. i have tried many other drugs in the last year and a half and i am still taking half of them to this day. (I put the "B" in BPD) I have been on Geodon for two weeks (up to 180mg) and i have notice a HUGE difference in my tolerance level and attitude. i don't get angery, looking for a fight, yelling at the kids or swearing like a sailor. then, i would cry, and weep about what just happen and the mess i made. i don't have those anymore. I am taking a lot of meds. that help other things,with my BPD. but Geodon was the only one that helped my anger issues. YES, i have side effects:dry mouth, staying up tooo late, some stomach problems and a little temorring. but it is worth it!!! when my kids say "Mom is in a good mood today,Dad." or "Thanks Mom not yelling." who could argue with that?

I am so glad I found this posting b/c I thought I was going CRAZY while on Yasmin. I was on another pill for the past 10 years and never experienced any problems, but then I was spotting a lot, so my OB-gyn switched me to Yasmin. I can not tell you the hell I was going through this past month. I am usually always in a good mood, and I was experiencing an out of control feeling of anxiety, panic attacks, and depression. I am also so dizzy all the time. I have also been very nauseous in the mornings. I did not understand what was going on and I thought I was losing my mind. I was crying uncontrollably and being very mean to my friends and family. I am so glad I have read these postings and have been off Yasmin for 8 days. I am going to the store to get some B6 and magnesium to start repairing my body. I feel for all of you ladies out there and hope we can all feel better soon!! Take care.

I am in day three of Methylpred and I have not experience any side affects, if anything it has made me in a good mood. I am taking this because of nerve pain in my shoulder and back.

I stoped taking effexor 13 days ago due to financial difficultys and couldnt afford to re-up. before that however i was on effexor for a year, 150 mg. I logged online yesterday to read other forums on withdrawls if any that others may be experiencing, I was amazed to see that the physical conditions I was experiencing trouble with were widley experienced by others as well, I was just relived, i didnt know what to make of all the horrable withdrawls i was going through, not knowing they were just that. so day 13 and I am feeling much better, I am exited to get back to my self 100%. I started taking effexor to begin with to help with depression and ADD. It didnt help that i was also abusing meth, so i probably needed it more then as far as depression goes and getting off the dope. Im clean now, and im such good spirits, Effexor worked for me in so many ways and i am greatfull for that. But one thing I wont miss is the lazyness that i felt most of the time, I hard a hard time sleeping, and never slept through the night, then id want to sleep the next day, I couldnt drive for fear of falling asleep on the road, which did happen plenty of times to cause the fear. I was in a good mood but motovation was low. Well thanks for letting me share with all of you, reading the poasts here really helped me to understand what it was i was going through. Best wishes!

Hi,
I am so astonished to have found this site. I have just started taking yasmin, and have been bleeding for 3 weeks straight. I thought that may be my body just needed time to get used to this particular pill, as I have been off the pill for a few years. Since taking Yasmin, I feel very nauseated and tired, and am not in such a good mood. I have been getting overbearing migraines......and can't get up sometimes because my head hurts to much. Positives were that my breasts grew a little (i am very small) and my skin cleared aswell. I'm not sure whether to keep going with it or stop it completely and try something else. I am under a bit of stress at the moment, so was thinking that may be that was the cause of my symptoms, but now am starting to think it is the Yasmin.

I took one pill last night..have not slept one minute all night long..have drank about a gallon of water and still have cotton mouth..feel like I drank a quart of tequila and ate a box of salt...dizzy...headache...nervous feeling..wish I had got online and found this sight before last night..I'm out of town for an important meeting that last all day..and have to go to a dinner tonight. They should outlaw this crap...am telling my boss to look at this sight in case I go to sleep in meeting today.. I am not in a good mood...

After two days of taking Biaxin XL, I feel much better physically; the metallic taste in my mouth is tolerable. A possible side effect that concerns me is I've since been experiencing sleeplessness, increased energy and an incredibly good mood (I like the good mood and energy) but is it facilitating a move into a manic phase? (similar to what Prednisone has been known to do) I'm otherwise a healthy person with no hx of depression or any other mental illness. Anyone else experiencing this?
