Minor depression symptoms and conditions

So I just finished a 10 day supply (20 pills) of this stuff. I was prescribed Biaxin twice a day for 10 days to clear up a minor sinus infection. I had no idea that this stuff caused so many issues, but now I know first hand. This medicine gave me pretty bad insomnia. I could fall asleep but would wake up at 2am/3am in the morning and couldn't fall back asleep. Of course lack of sleep, then gave me anxiety and minor depression like I've never had before. I will never take this stuff again. Not to mention, the bad taste that's in your mouth constantly. In retrospect, I'll take a sinus infection anyday over the side effects of this medicine. Maybe it's okay for some people, but I'll never put Biaxin in my body every again. I took my last dose yesterday evening and I've been drinking tons of water ever since to try and get rid of this stuff as soon as possible.

Hi, I started Yaz about 2 weeks ago. I am already on Zoloft for minor depression and anxiety. Stared Yaz the sunday I started my period. First the moodiness started, then the headaches. I thought I was getting sick with a cold because I had razor blade pain in my throat that I ended up attributing to Reflux. Went to the doctor to get meds to treat that. The pain went away then I got a metallic taste that I couldn't get rid of. Went to the dentist and nothing was wrong with my fillings. I thought I was going crazy because then I had vaginal itching and odor. I wasn't have a full period but I never stopped bleeding from my period when I started the pack. After finding this website I stopped mid cycle. This has scared the crap out of me. I know I haven't been on it for long, but can anyone tell me if they have stopped in the middle of the pack and how long it took for your period to be on a normal schedule again.

I posted a question to anyone who used Tri-Sprintec before, but now it's been several months & I'd like to let everyone else know how it's worked for me! Tri-Sprintec has been the best birth control I've ever taken. I have been on other birth controls over the years, and up to this point Yasmin was good but I still had some side effects. I've just started my fourth month on Tri-Sprintec, and I feel more like myself again. I don't have any crazy mood swings, my skin has cleared up, my periods are regular again & my appetite has gone back to normal. I recommend Tri-Sprintec to anyone who is looking for an affordable & reliable birth control (it's offered at the Wal-Mart pharmacy for $9 a month if you don't have insurance.)

I have experienced a few days of nausea, however since this particular type of birth control has fewer severe side effects because of its low dose of estrogen I am confident that overall it is the best choice. I have also been battling a little bit of minor depression, have had mild breast tenderness, and a few more minor headaches than usual. I would also say that I have had a decreased appetite and have lost a moderate amount of weight.

I think I am gonna have to agree with about 90 % of the others on here.
I was on Paxil 20mg for about 7 years and then my doctor told me i must be immune to it now cause it just doesnt seem to solve any problems i suffer from Minor Depression and Generallized Anxiety Disorder ( GAD ).
My Dr. suscribed me to take Efforex 75mg once daily and see if this works.
I would have to say to that, " I THINK NOT ", ever since i have been taking them, ( 3 days ), i have been feeling worse than ever, trouble sleeping, nausious, twitching, and about 2 -3 hours afterwards i feel like i drank a keg or so.
Just had to say, Efforex, Ya sure no more for me thanks.

I am 32 years old and I've been on Yasmin for a little over two years. My doctor recommended this bill because of my irregular periods and horrible PMS symptoms (bloating, cramps, headaches, etc.). Initially, I was very pleased as Yasmin helped to regulate my periods and alleviate my PMS symptoms. After about 6 months, my periods because slightly less regular - not quite as irregular as before - but I was no longer getting them every 4th Sunday as I was when I first started taking Yasmin. I also noticed that I started experiencing some PMS symptoms again.

What I don't like about Yasmin is the toll that it seems to be taking on me both emotionally and physicially. The following are some of the symptoms I've been experiencing, which seem to be getting worse:

- Extreme mood swings (happy one minute, crying hysterically the next)
- Irritability
- Low self-esteem
- Headaches
- Heart palpitations
- Dizziness
- Lightheadedness
- Difficulty concentrating
- Insomnia
- Constantly fatigued, even when I do manage to get a decent night's sleep
- On edge all the time

I've experienced minor depression in the past and have been stressed out at work, but these mood swings are starting to scare me. The other night I got lost while driving to a co-worker's party and became so hysterical thinking my life was awful and that no one would care if I died that I had to just turn around and go home, where I called my brother who managed to calm me down. This isn't the first time I've been crying hysterically and thinking irrationally and just didn't quite feel like myself. I mentioned this to a friend who said she had to stop taking Yasmin because it was making her "psychotic".

I love the good things about this pill - more regular periods and less trouble with PMS - but I can't deal with the mood swings. Also, the irritability and inability to concentrate are affecting me at work. My job is very challenging and requires me to deal with other people throughout the day and to always be able to think on my feet, so I can't be ready to snap at people all the time and I need to be able to focus. I'm going to try going off this pill for a while and see if it helps at all. If not, I don't know what else to do.

I took 50mcg of Levoxyl for 6 days and stopped on Sunday due to side effects. I am a 56 year old female 5'4' and weigh 108lbs. My only hypothroid symptoms were dry skin and nail problems, minor depression and semi high cholesterol. Each day the side effects got worse until I felt like I had severe PMS and had just had 4 cups of strong coffee. Sunday night I only got about 3 hours of sleep even after taking an over the counter sleeping pill. I notified my DR. on Monday AM and told her I had to stop taking it. She said to stay off of it for at least 1 and maybe 2 weeks and then she would try me on Synthoid 25mcg.

For me, Levoxyl was an evil drug and I would not wish the way I felt on it on my worst enemy. I was at least glad to find this site and learn that others had the same problems. Otherwise I might have felt that I was going crazy.
