Intense anger symptoms and conditions

I was put on Yaz because of my severe PMS. After nine days I started getting very strong symptoms, many the very symptoms I started taking Yaz for in the first place. It was too early in the cycle to be the "regular" PMS. Many of the symptoms I listed below I get regularly but not as strongly, and they have not been remotely this bad for years. I stopped taking Yaz after freaking out for 48 hours. I was told to stay on them for at least 3 months, as a trial, and I was really motivated because I really suffer from my PMS - almost every month I feel like I get into a depression - but there is no chance in the world I will continue taking that pill.

Hi all,
I have been off the NuvaRing for almost 2 months now, after being on it for 2 years, and I feel like I'm getting angrier and angrier...I guess I'm having intense rage attacks, pretty much everyday, and I don't know how to stop it. I thought it would get better after getting off it, but it seems my mood is getting worse. Anyone else experiencing something similar? Could it be withdrawals or something like that?

I had my Mirena removed in May of 2008. I, too, was thrilled to find a seemingly perfect form of birth control after having 4 children. It has turned out to be a nightmare. I had horrible mood swings, intense anger, cramps, no libido, body aches and the worst part for me, hair loss. I have lost at least 50% of the hair on the top of my head. I went through countless doctor appointments - general physician, o.b., dermatologist. Back and forth with tests for thyroid, diabetes, lupus (biopsy on my scalp and blood tests) all of which have come up negative. I am still seeing the dermo and am on a steroid scalp treatment. The hair loss seems to have stopped but I have yet to see new growth. I am hopeful one day I will find new growth on my scalp. Everyone hang in there - it has to get better, right???

It is quite amazing how when the story hits the news, the number of postings here jumps up! How sad it is that many people now realize the same things that many of us have known for quite some time. I only hope that the floodgate have now opened and that everyone will now keep the pressure on to limit the use of thee dangerous chemicals.

After 20 months I have had my right distal tendon surgically repaired, I endure tremendous pain in my left arm daily, and I fight the other unmentionable adrs. A black box warning is a start but it is not nearly enough.

New side effects: intense anger with the FDA and drug manufacturers, distrust of the medical community, and the required development of pain management skills.

I'm posting this again for the sanity of the concerned parents on this board to let you know you're not alone:

My 5 year old son was diagnosed with mild asthma and put on Singulair. Within a few months he began having uncontrollable fits of rage, displayed self-loathing behavior, had night terrors, and was inconsolable during these episodes. He became very destructive and was a danger to himself and our family. He even talked about killing himself and would say things like "I don''t want to be in this life anymore" and "I want to kill myself". He would threaten my wife and his siblings and told them he wanted to kill them. It was a truly terrifying experience. Our pediatrician was clueless to these side affects and recommended we have our child go through a psychological evaluation. I knew this was not my child''s normal behavior so I searched the internet for Singulair side affects and found some message boards where parents just like myself were telling their stories of their children''s aggressive behavior. I immediately took my son off the drug and within a couple days he was back to his normal self. He told us that he no longer has "that feeling inside of him". Five year old children don''t even know what suicide is and to see my son talk like this was extremely frightening. He is a sweet, intelligent, loving boy who had never exhibited behavior like this until he went on Singulair. We have not seen this behavior after taking him off the drug.

I have also been on the NuvaRing, an option of birth control i thought i could easily like and adjust to.
I can't feel more depresses and angry. Every little thing my husband does makes me so mad at him and everyone else around. Lately I have been having flu like symptoms, but it's "nothing". DO NOT TAKE NUVARING EVER. I also cannot stop from crying, can't tell you how many times i cry per day. Doesn't matter what anyone does or says... So fatigued, depressed,suicidal x 23984390282390, emotional, sick feeling, everything is hopeless, I'm about to start college soon. My Husband and I argue NON STOP because of this and I can't even think most of the time.

THERE IS DEFFINITLEY A LOSS OF SELF ESTEEM AND SELF RESPECT W/ NR.
DEFFINITELY A LOSS OF FEELING SEXY/PRETTY.
MY HUSBAND AND I ALSO HAD TONS OF SEX, NOW HE THINKS IM CHEATING ON HIM OR SOMETHING BECAUSE I NEVER WANT IT AND IT REALLY EMOTIONALLY HURTS.
HE ALSO THOUGHT I DIDN'T LOVE HIM ANYMORE BECAUSE IM NEVER NICE TO HIM.
I CAN'T TAKE THIS.

To the girl who go bigger breasts out of NR- lucky.

I am currently considering this birth control and wanted to know what sort of side effects people were feeling.

I've been on various pills over the past 8-9 years, including OrthoNovum, OrthoTri-cyclen, Orthocyclen, Estrostep and others. I basically switched every year because I had constant break through bleeding.

By contrast, Yasmin is by far the worst birth control I have ever been on. I'd been on it around 2 years, maybe longer. I am a level-headed, career minded woman. About a year ago I started to suspect I might be bi-polar or depressed.

Here is a list of the side-effects I had while on Yasmin that have disappeared since I stopped taking it 3 months ago:

-Depression
-Suicidal thoughts
-Paranoia
-Anxiety
-Nausea
-Decreased libido
-Intense Anger/Rage
-Irritability
-Increased thirst
-General disinterest/lack of motivation
-Acne
-Break-through bleeding
-Irregular periods
-Overly sensitive/swollen nipples
-Yellow discharge

I only had the above symptoms during the time I was taking Yasmin, not before and not after. This stuff is vile.

If you don't have any side-effects from this pill you are lucky. But I still urge you to pay very close attention. It is very easy for these symptoms to slowly grow over time until one day you wake up and don't even recognize your own self.

Since I stopped taking hormonal birth control I feel normal again, which by comparison means even the worst day is 10x better than a single day on Yasmin.

I had been on Yasmine for about two years with no complications until last week. Last week my heart began beating extremely fast just while sitting at my desk typing. Later on in the day my chest began feelign tight and I had an "anxious" feeling in my upper body. At the same time my lower body felt completely weak- as if my legs could not support my body weight if I were to stand. Evenso, I thought nothing of it and just assumed my normal one cup of coffee just so happened to have a strong effect on me that day. The next day the anxious feeling and weakness had subsided but my left arm and hand were tingling. It felt as if they had fallen asleep and now had that "cotton" feeling. The next morning I lost all feeling in my left hand except for my first three fingers. This is when I began trying to figure out what on earth I may have eaten, where I had been, had i drank too much coffee, etc.

I rarely drink alcahol, don't smoke, have no family history of heart problems, etc. I don't take any other medications, I don't take vitamins, I dont eat strange foods, and exercise regularly. The only thing I could possibly change is my birth control. I immediately quit taking Yasmine and all problems disappeared in two days.

i took aviane for a little over a month. the side effects were so severe i had to stop the pill. i experienced intense anger and mood swings,severe depression, appetite increase and weight gain,my whole body felt swollen, migraine headaches, shortness of breath, anxiety, stomach pains, I WAS MISERABLE. i stopped taking the pill 2 days ago which brought on my period along with intense pms symptoms. i'm hoping that once this period is over i will start to feel normal again. AVAINE IS THE WORST BC PILL EVER

I am Bipolar, and I have been on many drugs. When I began taking Effexor, I was misdiagnosed and told that I was manic depressive. Anti-depressants can often make people with Bipolar worse. Effexor was the worst! My main issues were terrible, vivid nightmares and anger problems. The nightmares were bad, but after even one alchohlic beverage, I became enraged. I said and did things to my friends, that I would never do. I know you are not really suppose to drink on a lot of medication, but one drink? I became scared of myself and I am lucky to still have my friends.

I do know, that Effexor works for some people, because my dad is on it and he loves it. It just wasn't for me.
