Insane person symptoms and conditions

I got the Mirena inserted when I was 19, had no children, but had had awful experiences on the Pill... I had tried a number of Pills, including Yasmin (became depressed and moody), Loette (spotting), Levlen ED (Crazy moods and insanely tender breasts)... etc etc.
When I am not on the Pill I am a fun loving, easy going girl with my head-screwed on, but when on the Pill I become so unreasonable and emotional.
After having Mirena inserted (so painful as I hadn't had children), I had bleeding for 3 months, cramping and bloating etc... BUT - I felt WONDERFUL for the 4 years following. NO moods, no cramps, my periods stopped completely after about 6 months, no other side effects at all.
I had to have it removed recently as I developed an Ovarian Cyst the size of a lemon and got a UTI that developed into pelvic inflammation.
I had a month with no hormonal contraception, then tried the NuvaRing (Moody and incredibly sore breasts), had another month off contraception and now im trying Yaz. It is indicated for PMDD, but I feel crazy, emotional, irrational and unreasonable on it.
I have no idea where to go from here. Mirena really suited me, but I cant have another one inserted because iv had the Inflammation. I cant stay on the Pill... I hate myself, I am a different person on the Pill.

Ok, I was wondering if my friends were telling me the truth. Apparently I have become the wicked witch of the west. They said its probably my BCP. Looks as though they are correct. I think my boyfriend hates me 99% of the time and my friends 97%. What do I do, go off of it? I can't live like an insane person.

well, i thought when it say mild burning or itching may occur that it meant mild, but in my case it meant wake me up at 3am rolling around like i was an insane person!
my vagina was SO itchy and burny from this i thought i needed to go to the emergency room!
and the "itch cream" that comes with the treatment helped absolutely none! there is no point to even have it in there!
so anyone suffering with this right now, i am so sorry. i feel your itch.burn.

I went on NR in Feb 2006. I bled for over a month straight when I first went on it. Dr. said this was "normal," my body was adjusting, etc. I noticed a drastic decrease in my sex drive almost immediately after going on it. I have had sensitive breasts the entire time I have been on it; it's painful for my boyfriend to touch them. I also lactated when I first went on the NR, but chalked this up to resurgence in hormones or something I had stopped breast feeding a few months before going on the NR). I started taking meds for back pain and anxiety, and now I'm wondering if it had anything to do with side effects from the NR after reading comments on this site. I also did get one horrendous yeast infection. I agree with the person who posted that she starts to feel emotional about a week and a half before its time to take it out--- like super bad PMS; really moody,craving sweets, depressed, etc. I also did not bleed until Thursday or Friday after taking it out on my scheduled Tuesday, and my period was minimal- just a day or so. I did not put a new NR in on my scheduled day (Tuesday of this week), and I feel like a complete emotional wreck. I mean, even with the PMS and such while using it, I still felt relatively able to cope. I have been crying over everything the last few days, irritable and volatile, and I'm not one prone to volatile. I am wondering of anyone else whose gone off of it experienced anything like this... I'm hoping it's just my hormones balancing otu or something, but I feel like an insane person...

I am so happy to have found this site...your stories are so helpful. I am 28 years old and I was put on 60 mg's of Prednisone for 7 days for a neck injury by a neurologist. After taking about 5 days of it, I wasn't sleeping AT ALL, was very jittery, heart palputaions, had foggy thinking, difficulty with memory, and was sparking panic attacks. My doctor said "STOP IT COLD TURKEY". I questioned that knowing that this is a drug that you should be weaned off of and he said that since it was such a short course, I'd be fine! A day or two following that, I landed in the E.R. hyperventilating and basically thinking my toughths were those of an insane person. I was discharged after 2 days, and well, it's been a week since I"ve been off and I can't sleep without a pill and still have all the same effects...is this normal and someone please tell me how long I have to live like this. The dr's all say the drug is out of my system by now! HELP! Please respond!!!!
