Insecurity symptoms and conditions

From time to time I take prednisone to control outbreaks of arthritis in the knees and some other allergic conditions like coughing, headache and nasal stuffiness. I seem to be getting much more sensitive to it and I find it makes me angry and depressed.

I am however grateful for this because it has helped me remove optimistic delusions from me of my own foolishly optimistic ideas and has also let me see the shallow and grasping natures of all those around, friends, family and strangers alike, revealing total spiritually worthlessness of modern life, indeed life as it likely always was, wrapped up in complete insincerity.

And no, I'm not going to hurt myself or others, because it is so great to walk along the streets of Beijing seeing the passersby knowing that inside of each one, every one of them, they are being eaten by their worms of jealousy, fear, insecurity and inferiority and their greedy desire to take small advantages of each other like little rodents fighting over scraps.

Thank you prednisone for this warning, which I will not soon forget.

I am now 21 and it's been almost a year since I stopped taking Yasmin.I was on it for about 6 months, and I put on some amount of weight at the beginning (about 5 pounds). It was only months later, that I finally suspected I might not be going crazy after all, and that my bouts of anxiety and depression might have something to do with the medication. It was an absolutely horrifying experience. Some research online confirmed that it could be the case and I stopped. The immediate flux in emotion disappeared but it was like a pandora's box of insecurity and self doubt had been opened, and I've only just learned to feel really comfortable with myself again.

Hi, I have been taking Yaz for about 6 months. I struggle with PMDD. I was really nervous to try as I've heard horrible things from all of these forums. However, I noticed IMMEDIATE improvement in my irritability, rage, crying, insecurity. For the first time since having children, I feel confident, and my moods are steady through the whole month. My periods are also only 2 days and very light! The only complaint I have is that my sex drive is completely gone. So, I feel I need to make a choice between "faking i'm interested" or keeping my emotions in check.

Thank God for this Site!!!

Just wanted to add a recent post. I have all the same symptoms... fatigue, emotional roller coaster, dizziness, headaches, as well as feeling incredibly insecure. I want NOTHING to do with sex. TMI warning... My boyfriend and I used to have sex AT LEAST on a daily basis, now I cant stand to think about it. I am 25 and have played sports all my life. I even coach for a high school team. This BC is aweful. On top of not having enough energy to do ANYTHING, when I pushed myself to workout, there were absolutely NO results. This is a debilitating drug that has been branded with an incredible amount of false advertising. It seems the pro's that the company braggs about the most, couldn't be further from the truth.
So once again, if you don not want:
Dizziness
Eye sensitivity and pain
Extreme mood swings ( from throwing things to crying over commercials)
Severe cramping (even when not on your period)
Insecurity
Weight gain and inability to loose weight
Food craving
Migraines
Oily hair
acne
Fatigue
DO NOT TAKE YAZ!!!!!

I am a person who had never experienced depression before going on NuvaRing. I'm 39 years old and had been on it for a year - gradually the crying jags, feelings of hopelessness, moodiness, ANGER and insecurity kicked in...I even lost control and yelled and hit my boyfriend on one occasion. The final straw was when I broke up with him in a fit of rage - completely unintentionally. The day after, when I got myself back together, I went into counseling and the counselor suggested hormonal causes. Fortunately there are many anecdotes, like these on this website, linking NuvaRing to depression and I did go off about a month ago. Gradually, as with the ramp-up onto NuvaRing, I feel myself getting back control of my emotions. If you've experienced something like this, don't wait for an emotional break: get off NuvaRing so you can evaluate what's happening to you with a clear head.

i was prescribed meprozine after having a wisdom tooth pulled the day before yesterday ,and hardly can remember any thing afterwards just a hellish blur.it did little to kill the pain but was very succesful at making me too dizzy to walk. i was too disoriented and confused to carry on a conversation with any one and whenever i went into the next room i forgot why i was there. it was all quite embaressing . i took one somwhere between 6 and 7 this morning but didnt take any more .its now 3:15 pm. i'v ben suffering accute feelings of paranioa, insecurity depression rejection and aggravation ,with some hallutionations for the last three days. my coordination is still bad. i had some trouble typing this . i'm angry that they can sell this crap as "pain killer".

Hi guys!

this makes me feel assured I am not going mad by hearing you also are suffering.

I took yasmin around 2 years ago for a short period notably 9 months. Whilst i took it i was relatively happy as i lost alot of weight and my skin ws great. However i was suffering from panic, anxiety, fear insecurity and open to many virouses i have never been ill so many times in a year stretch!. The most damaging thing came after I stopped the pill when my periods stopped completely for nearly a year and i was told i may be infertile! it ha sput me off all pills altogether. Since stopping the pill my weight increased far more than prior to the pill and once my periods restarted i have exèrienced severe pms and anger this is destroying many of my relationships and also my sex drive has decreased since the pill confused my periods!.

Please watch carefully what happens to your body and mind when on this drug and remeber to take a few months off a year to see how it could be effecting you in the long term, you never know how speacial fertility is until you are lead to believe you may no longer have it!.

much luck to you all and if you share something similair please let me know.

Hello:

I too had been prescribed Yasmin from my ob/gyn and immediately stopped taking them after 21/2 weeks. All of the following side effects I had personally experienced every day: break through bleeding, abdominal cramping, back aches, headaches, fatigue, anxiety episodes, crying spells, insecurity feelings, feelings like my body just wanted to have it's period. So after 21/2 weeks of this I let it and boy do I feel great! It was like I was holding back my body from doing what it naturally wanted to do, and I was suffering for it! The only thing is, I have this persistent cough that seems like it just doesn't want to go away. I'm going to go to my doctor in another week if it doensn't, I'm not sure if it is a related side effect. As far as birth control, I haven't had a need to use any lately as my boyfriend and I have just recently broken up, however, my friend tells me that she has been on the patch for 6 months and loves it, I might just try that.

I have been taking yasmin for over 3 years. I suffered from painc attacks and anxiety about 10 years ago, I thought it was beacuse I was in a stressful relationship, but looking back I was on the pill so maybe that has something to do with it!

Anyway the first 2 years on yasmin was fine, the only side effects I had were spotting and leaky nipples(what the hell!).

During that time I had occasional anxiety, frequent asthma, mood swings, depression, insecurity, lost my social skills, became extremely sensitive, no sex drive, fatigue and constant dehydration. I had no idea that any of the above could be side effects. My doc told me there were no side effects, but thats not what it says on the leaflet

Anyway the last couple of months I have has the worst anxiety, panic attaacks, severy dehydration which can lead to a migraine, zero tolerance to salt, severe social phobia, weight gain, sever mood swings, have fallen out with half my family, inability to concentrate, blurred vision, fuzzy head feeling, no motivation to do anything, don't go out and don't know what the hell his going on!

I have 2 wondeful kids and an amazing husband. I stopped yasmin 2 days ago for good. I feel poisoned. I had no idea yasmin was a diuretic and thats why I have suffered from dehydration.

This is the wierd thing, yasmin was fine for 3 years then all my side effects became much worse in one go. I just want my life back.

If anyone has had similar side effects to me or just wants to talk please email me.
