Felt a great responsibility to share my daughter's hellish experience while on this drug. My daughter is 33 years old. While taking Chantix she would at first laugh to herself frequently, went to anger and resentment to bizarre behavior and paranoia. She felt threatened that cameras where watching her in our home, phones were "bugged", heard demonic voices, lost her appetite, felt her life was threatened by an ex-boyfriend or the government. She became depressed and wanted to just die. She began to work part- days and went to missing days of work for she lived in complete fear. She also had panic attacks. After going off the drug for five days she virtually came back to us and is back to her pleasant and yes- smoking unconstipated self.

I just went through a hellish experience with Levaquin. On the 5th afternoon of taking it for a bronchitis, I began to break out in small hives. I thought I got bit by a mosquito or something, so I took my dose the next morning. By that night I was covered in huge hives and felt like I was on fire. Taking Benedryl calmed it down but the hives would get fire red after a while again. I had to take off work today and went back to my Dr. I have already started taking Methlyprednisolone. The hives have all but gone. Obviously, I am very allergic to Levaquin..

I took this before going to the movies. Halfway there I could barely drive. The streetlights were glowing in a strange way. My heartbeat felt strange and my face itched. By the time I parked my car and ran towards the box office (late), I felt like I was floating. In the theater I saw people in front of me, talking. They faded away because they were not really there. I felt horrible, I felt dizzy and the floor was spinning. I stumbled to the bathroom and almost threw up but couldn't. I dragged myself to the counter and bought a soda, which tasted horrible but which I forced myself to drink. I was gasping and the world was spinnning. All in all it was a hellish experience. I will never take this drug again. It also did not get rid of my neck pain.

I think the NuvaRing has catapulted my baby blues into post partum depression. Over the past week I have experienced severe mood swings and fatigue among many other irritable symptoms that if it wasn't for the depression and fatigue I may have been able to tolerate this BC. Although

I would definitely not recommend this BC to anyone until they are sure they are past the baby blues/ post partum depression stage and or have no history of depression. Even the mildest depression, such seasonal mood disorder.
