Lose control symptoms and conditions

I've been on WB (generic) for about 3 weeks to quit smoking which I have. I am taking it at night with Xanax. I didn't know I was having side effects until I started feeling strange. I was dizzy at first, but thought I was just sick. I was also a little headachy. Today I was in the grocery pushing a cart and kept getting shocks in my left hand. I took my hand off the cart and it went away. My major complaint right now is feeling very depressed and hopeless, want to cry but ccan't seem to. Also feeling like I could lose control. If I go off this drug will I start smoking again?

hi eryka,
please don't feel ashamed of your thoughts,most of us that have suffered anxiety either induced by this pill or otherwise have had these awful scary thoughts. the post below this reply makes some very valid points! i too was terrified of being around knives or scissors,i thought i may hurt myself or my children,i kept thinking if the knife slipped and i hurt myself i would have to go to the hospital and they might section me because they might think i was mad. i also had really scary thoughts about harming my children or that someone else would harm them,crazy things like someone would grab the baby pram and throw it over the balcony in the shopping centre. so as you can tell i know exactly how you felt. i also think that these thoughts appear both to do with low seratonin levels and also the fear that you are going to lose control and do something awful,this in effect would be your worst nightmare and something you would never do so cannot understand where these alien thought patterns come from. i don't even like smacking my childrens bottoms if they are really really naughty let alone do some of the awful things that my brain came up with. the previous post is also correct in saying that if you were truly crazy you would not know a thing about it and certainly would not worry about it! whenever i have a scary thought (which thankfully is really rare now!) i physically tell myself not to be so silly,i would never do that or that would never happen then i will purposly think of a really nice happy thought. please feel free to post again if you need any more help or support or post your email and i will be happy to try to help you,i have been off yasmin for 6 months nearly and am doing really well now,i still have the odd day thats not so good but i know i am not crazy and i will get better.
best wishes to you eryka,i hope my reply will help you feel a little better.

eryka-

I know what you are talking about with the thoughts. Here is waht I am experiencing maybe it is the same:

I like get scared that I am going to lose control of myself and do something awful like hurt someone I love. I get scared of being around objects that are violent...like knives and scissors. Is this the same with you?

If it is I have no clue if it is from the pill or just anxiety in general. I look at it as their might be something in your life you feel you cant control or something. Yourself is the one thing you can control and it is frightening to think that you could just lose control. This also explains the feelings of going crazy. (I've written a paper on this and have done a lot of research because of my own experiences haha). Anyways, most the time it really does stem from a control issue. You're scared of losing control of your actions or your mental state. And yes, many times these thoughts lead to panic attacks. Just think to yourself that you are in control and nothing is happening to you. You control your actions. And if you were really "going crazy", chances are you wouldnt even be sane enough to come to that conclusion haha.

hope this helps!

I have a lot of bruising on my arms and hands as a result of Advair. Also I have a severe rash on my back that started when i first started using advair. I discontinued advair and went on serevent for a bit and the rash went away. However i was always out of breath so i started back on Advair and the rash came back so I know it is a direct result of my using it. Another problem is loss of bladder control. On serevent I didn't have much trouble but now that I am back on Advair I lose control of my bladder
