Life experiences symptoms and conditions

I cannot contribute - in the same way as other posters, I can add a side effect of getting of all birth control pills-- health. The pill seems to act by mimicking the first trimester symptoms of pregnancy in many ways - explains many of the symptoms. Can you imagine being 1st trimester-pregnant for years? I cannot understand why women will use un-natural, non-organic foreign substances in their bodies with possibly deadly side effects - yet swear by organic soy milk, veggies what have you -seems a bit schizophrenic. Better to wait for the man who would love you fully and not ask you to hurt yourself so he can use you for sex. We become just like the men here, this is so sad to me. Instead of being "liberated" we, (not the men) become slave to the pill. And then we don't get he freedom or the man. Try organic sex, in the ways God intended, much healthier.

unfreakinbelievable. every single drug ad I see on TV these days for new drugs claims that it will cure you of something. the only catch is: it will give you a million side-effects, half of which can be life threatening!!!

What kind of a job is the FDA doing that it lets these kinds of drugs enter the market and puts people with common problems like asthma in greater danger for developing extreme heart problems and psychological disorders???

I used Reactine. The very 1st tablet I used gave me a dream so vivid that I jumped out of bed - I was about 30% conscious and I still believed that I was in that dream. I dream that a Black Widow was in my bed right under my back and when I woke up I actually envisioned the Black Widow. Now consider that I live in Canada where BW's don't even exist. That's how powerful these drugs are and that's why you should stay away from them. I know this sounds crazy, but DON'T BELIEVE A THING YOUR DOCTOR TELLS YOU!!!!! Use common sense in common situations!!! Think for yourself and listen to your gut instinct or you will wind up dead before your time.

I'm a 30 year old male, and I've been on Singulair for eight years now to treat chronic asthma. Shortly after I started, there was a noticeable change in my mood and behavior. What I noticed included sadness, thoughts of death, anxiety, and fatigue. I knew that there was something wrong, but just chalked it up to changing life experiences. I was always heavily involved in organized sports (little league through college), but abruptly stopped after college. I thought that the moodiness (or depression) came on because I wasn't as active anymore. Correlation maybe? I don't know. But I do suspect that Singulair is the culprit. I would like to get off for a while, but I literally cannot breathe without it. Does anyone know of any comparable alternatives to Singulair that won't bring on these type of side effects? Thanks all for sharing. Blessings!

Listen Picapeach…I feel fine about what I said. You ARE insensitive. And just because you were molested, does mean you are not. And just because you have a “genious IQ” doesn’t mean you are not insensitive. It sounds like you may have some book smarts, but no common sense. Just because you were molested, doesn’t mean you have the right to put people down. In fact, you should probably be more sensitive to other people’s feelings. You mention people being old, fat, sluts in your posts when people are trying to just talk about serious side effects and feelings. That’s just plain in-sensitive. I too was molested as a child, so I know how awful it is, but that doesn’t give you cart blanch to be rude and insensitive to people. If you are really going to Harvard next year, you better learn some manners and learn how to be an adult. Harvard doesn’t take kindly to rude, insensitive, nasty people. I’d like to chalk your issues up to your age. You may want to print what you wrote out and read it in 10 years after you have had some life experiences. You’ll realize how in-sensitive you really are. All these posts you have written back to and you are still calling people names. You can certainly post that you have not had any problems with the pill; its good to get all opinions but what everyone here is “jumping on you” about is how rudely you put your comments. Like someone who has side effects has to be old, fat, a smoker or a slut. That’s just simply not true. Not true at all. Let this be the end of these crazy posts.

Thanks for your advice Sarah. I will see how I go.

I want to personally thank you for setting up this site and sharing your knowledge and experience. I am in Australia and when I googled Yasmin here all I got was drug company propoganda about how good it is. Great to have some real life experiences to wake us all up about what we are actually putting into our bodies!!.

I hope you return to full health soon.
