Hormone treatment symptoms and conditions

I went from a rational non-emotional women to a crazy person!!! I feel awful. I would rather have pain than feel this way. I can't sleep though constantly fatigued. Achy body, headaches. Everything tastes like cardboard so I'm not eating well though I have gained a few pounds. I am severely emotional. I almost left my husband this weekend whom I adore, can't stop crying, very depressed and irritable. I want nothing more than to be alone and sleep, which no one can live that way. I am a mother of 3, a wife, and have a full time job. I can't function properly. I will never undergo hormone treatment after I get through this! I am currently on Lupron, just had laporoscopy 2 weeks ago for the 5th time all for endometriosis and I'm only 25. I started Premarin today to assist this anxiety and mood swings. Wish my family and I luck.

Hey ladies- I have had mirena almost two years now, when i first had it implanted it was horrible, cramping and spotting for months. then i had a normal light period at the same time every month just up until a few months ago then no period, which scared me! i am not pregnant just no periods anymore, which i'm not so sure i like. besides that i have had so many rotten symptoms from mirena. Cramping, cysts, stomach pains on either left or right side that all i can do is lay in bed, mood swings, eating a lot, gaining a lot, acne which i haven't had in years, so much more that i try and forget about yet i feel like not the same person i was before. I am going to have it removed this week and am unsure of what to use for birth control now. What did you ladies do that have had it removed? Any pill that doesn't have so many effects that have worked for you? I am in a time crunch and really need advice from all of you who have gone through this mirena bs too! Please please email me your tips thanks!!!!

Hi! I can't believe this all....I am reading your stories... I am on YASMIN for 14 days. I have two little children and I choose birth control again after almost 5 years. So I thought all my side effects are because my body needs a chance to get use to IT and I am over reacting, etc... Well NO, I am NOT!!!
Headache, mood swings, itchy skin, breast tenderness, got my period 4th day after my first pill (my doctor said it's the "breakthrough period") dizziness and feeling very nervous and sad, etc.....
My doctor said to stay on it, that my body will adjust to it...well, I am NOT!!! My body it totally resisting IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But now, I am stuck with 4 month worse supply....any idea where to sell it?
thank you

my partner went on nuvaring about two and a half weeks ago. since then she has become severely depressed and lethargic. we had chalked it up to unhappiness at work and some emotional disappointments with her family, but after reading this we have become convinced that the nr is a major part of the issue. she just took it out and we hope that tomorrow she will wake up and notice a difference. also, although she does suffer from migraines, they were more or less under control until the past week. she has had headaches everyday and has had to take imitrex for them. she has been nauseous and has also had problems sleeping. she also cries alot. she is not normally a depressed person. in fact, she is normally really positive. this is a horrible drug. does anyone know of a good option for regulating menstrual cycles? she is not on this for bc, just to regulate her cycle. any advice is welcomed. thanks.

Wow, what a wonderful site. Its wonderful to know Im not the only one having issues with this...

I was on yasmin for one year to regulate my menstrual cycle. I had two major issues while on the drug - bloating, and NO sex drive whatsoever. I stopped taking Yasmin for two months, and I was a total nutcase. All I did was cry. I was so depressed and soooo anxious. They tried to put me on lexapro! I couldnt sit still, I worried all the time about everything, and I couldnt sleep a wink. This was in August 2005, and Im still dealing with the side effects.

Worst of all the high estrogen levels in Yasmin raised my normal estrogen levels to sky high. Now i have to deal with hormone treatment to get my balance back on track.

Definitely a bad move on my part. I would not recommend this drug to anyone.

I have been on Lupron for about 2 wks and I have had no real side effects. My Doc. gave me some type of hormone treatment w/ the shot that helps with hot flasehes. I have not gained any weight in fact I lost 2 lbs but I get light headed and I'm hungery all the time. I also have pain were my ovaries are and I tear up at every thing. Good Luck
