I died symptoms and conditions

coughing, constantly with all and every hbm the Dr. gives me and I want to take CoQ10, but now the medical profession is stating that it enhances the Aceon, and you can take less. Phamiceuticals making tons of money off our fear. I would rather take holistic cures, at least I would feel good until I died.

Hi Chrissy,

I know exactly how u feel....I have had these AM I DYING issues for the past 6mths before i linked them to they Yasmin and i am still soooo worried that something is wrong with me nut 6weeks post Yasmin it does not seem as bad but still comes and goies but thinking back itis an improvement of the month that i stopped yasmin and i was having my husband ring me everymorning at 7am as ithought that if i died in my sleep at least the kids could tell their dad if ithey couldnt wake me as each night i was sure this would be it for me ...that i had some serious life threatening disease or i was on the verge of a massive heart attack and all these symptoms were the warning signs of my heart stopping.
I am still internally thinking hey high blodd pressure must be bad but seeing on the posts the women that write that they had high blood pressure also post yamin gives me reassurance that they were alive when they wrote that so hey i am gonna make it ( see another negative yamin effect).
this site has saved my life and i am always here now also for anyone whom needs me... it reminds me a little of pay it forward the ones before me found hope here , i found hope from them and maybe i can help another...

I am 32 years old and I've been on Yasmin for a little over two years. My doctor recommended this bill because of my irregular periods and horrible PMS symptoms (bloating, cramps, headaches, etc.). Initially, I was very pleased as Yasmin helped to regulate my periods and alleviate my PMS symptoms. After about 6 months, my periods because slightly less regular - not quite as irregular as before - but I was no longer getting them every 4th Sunday as I was when I first started taking Yasmin. I also noticed that I started experiencing some PMS symptoms again.

What I don't like about Yasmin is the toll that it seems to be taking on me both emotionally and physicially. The following are some of the symptoms I've been experiencing, which seem to be getting worse:

- Extreme mood swings (happy one minute, crying hysterically the next)
- Irritability
- Low self-esteem
- Headaches
- Heart palpitations
- Dizziness
- Lightheadedness
- Difficulty concentrating
- Insomnia
- Constantly fatigued, even when I do manage to get a decent night's sleep
- On edge all the time

I've experienced minor depression in the past and have been stressed out at work, but these mood swings are starting to scare me. The other night I got lost while driving to a co-worker's party and became so hysterical thinking my life was awful and that no one would care if I died that I had to just turn around and go home, where I called my brother who managed to calm me down. This isn't the first time I've been crying hysterically and thinking irrationally and just didn't quite feel like myself. I mentioned this to a friend who said she had to stop taking Yasmin because it was making her "psychotic".

I love the good things about this pill - more regular periods and less trouble with PMS - but I can't deal with the mood swings. Also, the irritability and inability to concentrate are affecting me at work. My job is very challenging and requires me to deal with other people throughout the day and to always be able to think on my feet, so I can't be ready to snap at people all the time and I need to be able to focus. I'm going to try going off this pill for a while and see if it helps at all. If not, I don't know what else to do.

my 6 year old son has been taking singulair since may, 2003 for a combination of fall-induced asthma, and migraines. the migraines seem to be less intense, but he has been getting a lot more headaches, in general. about 10 weeks after taking singulair, he began making some extremely morbid statements (i.e., "i wish i wasn't alive..." "would you be upset if i died?" "i wish i was never born..." "i wish i wasn't around..."), and these have only gotten worse as time goes on. he started kindergarten in september, and although he went to a pre-kindergarten class daily last year, he began having panic episodes. as all this intensified, we found a psychiatrist for him to talk to, but he doesn't want to talk to him or anyone else. we're still going, but it's very upsetting for him (and us). he's gone from being a fairly "happy-go-lucky" kid, to this miserable, negative child...seemingly in the time that he's been on singulair. i know these symptoms aren't "known" side effects, but as each person's body reacts differently to a drug, i wonder if it isn't the culprit. it all came on so suddenly, and we haven't been able to find out anything that could have triggered this. the school has been involved, his daycare is involved...and he says he doesn't know why he feels this way (basically, depressed).
so we took him off the singulair just 3 days ago. yesterday, we saw the child we remembered, although today he's been a bit of both. since the drug has to build up in your system to be fully effective, will it take some time for its effects to wear off as well? any information would be so greatly appreciated. there's nothing more heartbreaking than a 6 year old who repeatedly says, "i hate my life, " or "this is the worst christmas ever!"

Thanks! Judy
