Moody person symptoms and conditions

I've been on NuvaRing for a year and I thought It was working great. After having two rings "disappear" I decided to talk to my doctor about a different form of b/c. I have not had a ring in this month and I cannot believe the sex drive I have now. I'm single so I hadn't really noticed it was gone but now that it's back I realize how much the NR had affected me. As I was reading posts here I was amazed at how many symptoms I share with others. I have always been prone to headaches but since starting this a year ago they got more frequent and more intense. I also had issues with fatigue, however, being a single parent of a one year old I just kept blaming the baby but so far this month without the ring I hardly ever need a nap anymore. I have also noticed my mood swings are not as severe...I won't blame NR for all my moodiness because I have always been a moody person but I can tell a difference. I never had problems with the nausea or charleyhorses or tender breasts but all hormones have a different effect on different people. NR may work well for some and to those I wish congrats. I am hoping that my new method of b/c works out for me but I will be paying attention this time to what the hormones are doing to my body.

I had been taking Yasmin 28 for about 2 years with very little side effects. About 3 months ago, my doctor prescribed me the new version, Yaz. Since then my moods have been very extreme, and I am known as a very mellow, non-moody person! One week I'm very confident, happy and content. The next I'm ready to break up with my boyfriend, criticizing every little thing he does. The week after that, I'm depressed, lonely and very emotional. I'm in the middle of my pack now so I will have to finish it up, but at least I am aware and I will try my best to control my moods this month (mind over matter as they say). But I will definitely be switching prescriptions.

I started taking Yasmin this past sunday, so far, so good...reading all these posts worry the crap out of me...i'm only really on this because i have really BAD pms, which people i know including my boyfriend thought it could be PMDD because how "crazy" i'd get, bad cramps and my period sometimes likes to show up almost whenever even when i track it....i'm a moody person already and so far i feel pretty good, pretty stable which is nice, i guess the only complaint is that i'm kinda constipated and i'm exhausted, but i'm unsure if this has anything to do with this pill or not. i travel constantly and eat bad food since i'm away at college so sometimes i have some issues....oh my sex drive is usually pretty fine, i haven't noticed anything there yet, i still think about doing things and want to...so, my question is what should i do? shall i continue to use it and see what happens, or should i stop it or get a different pill?? i go to therapy and i am also making sure that my boyfriend and immediate friends notice if i act a little stranger than usual....
and i was on a different pill back when i was 15 and i don't remember much of it besides i don't think i had any side effects so i've had a little experience with birth control before...

I am 21 and have been on YAZ for 6 months, I am soo happy I came across this website. I only went on it (my first BC pill) because my periods are like 8 days long and on the first day I become so sick I can most often barley even function w/o the help of pain killers (in addition to pregnancy prevention). I am about to throw this last pack out I cannot take it anymore. My boobs were naturally a large B small C ...they have exploded into a large D..it does not fit on my frame...no clothes fix me and my stomach is never flat always bloated!!!
I did not change any of my diet or exercise patterns. My boobs are so painful alll the time, I sleep w/ a bra on sometimes. I was always a moody person but recently I have been having crying spells for no reason or overreacting and at times embarassing myself. I was about to call a shrink to go on anti-derpressants! My boyfriend has been verbally attacked for the msot ridiculous things. I do not feel like myself. I called my doc and he said this one should not me doing this to me. My periods last for 6 days and sometimes I still have debilitationg craps. I have also been suffering from IBS!
He gave me a sample of LOESTRIN24? I read the side effects and they sound just as bad!! At this point I'm willing to deal w/ the cramps and use another form of pregnancy prevention! Does anyone have any advice? I want the cramps to go away and I want no weight gain unless it is from eating too much!! not the hormones! Thanks and good luck to everyone

I have been on Nuva Ring for about 7 months now and at first I loved it. It was great not having to worry about taking the pill everyday and with 2 small children who has time to think much less take pills. I started having problems about 3 months after taking it...bloating so bad I looked 4/5 months pregnant, gas pains that would wake me up at night, heartburn/acid reflux. I have been through numerous tests to try and find out what is causing my stomach pains (ct scans, ultra sounds, blood work) now the Dr. wants to put me on Paxil after putting me on Prilosec and Gas Relief Chewables. Nothing is working, I can't stop the bloating for nothing...its interfering with my everyday activities. Not only is my stomach an issue but my moodiness is TERRIBLE. I hate EVERYTHING, I dont want to be bothered...leave me alone is my new attitude. I have always been a moody person but this is severe. Everyone around me says I need to be on "be nice pills" and that makes me even angrier when I hear that. I cry/laugh/get mad feel like Im screaming inside...I am still taking this stupid thing listening to the Dr. saying the Nuva Ring doesn't cause these side effects, but after reading all this I think I'm going to take it out for a couple of months to see if anything changes.

Hi, well I have been thinking about getting off Yasmin because I feel that I have become a really moody person. I have been on it for 4years and the only reason why I haven't changed my birth control is because I don't know how other B.C.'s are going to make me react. The only reaason I noticed was because my boyfriend and I were dating long before I got on Yasmin and I always felt great and after I got on it I started feeling very insecure, made about every little thing and just plane crazy. I had to stop thinking it for a month and I have to say that month was great! I had no mood swings and things just felt different and when I got back on it I am back to feeling mad all the time... I know I should get off it but I don't want to have irregular bleeding, longer periods, or possibly go thought the same thing I have with Yasmin. Yet I don't want it to rule my life anymore... Some advice would be helpful because I run out of my refills at the end of this month and I think I should decide now. I am also going to another gynecologist next week and plan on talking to her about my situation but it would be great to hear from people that have had the same problem.

My husband, 37 yrs. old, has been on lipitor for 6 months due to high cholestrol (family history).
My question is this: He is a very moody person. Not as calm as before and loses his temper easily. Of course his doctor says lipitor has nothing to due with this. Whatever the doctor says my husband believes. My husband thinks I am foolish.
Could there be a connection? Anyone else have or have seen mood swings in lipitor users?

I just started taking Yasmin two months ago....OH MY GOD! I thought there was something really wrong with me. It scared me. I have never taken BCP before. I never knew that there could be side effects like this. I belong to Kaiser and the doctor prescribed it to me, telling me that it eases the bloating. i thought that would be good. ....I was very wrong.

I am not typically a moody person. I am very organized and can usually plan my work week and my personal like in a very, very practical way. I have found that for the past two months I cry at little things, I am anxious, nervous and I have most of these symptoms -dry mouth, moodiness, peeing, insomnia, panic attacks, diarrhea, spotting, vomiting, cramping, gaining weight, tender breasts, HUGE breasts, and eating like crazy.

I find myself up at 4am. I am dead tired at 11am- all sorts of odd things. I have cramping as well.

I also have brown discharge for two weeks before my period begins. I thought something was really wrong. My doctor could tell me nothing. She told me "come in and try another one." I am not sure if I want to. The doctors seem to just prescribe what is popular. I am worried. Any recommendations on something new?

I have stopped taking Yasmin.

I am 24 and have been taking Yasmin for 3 months.

I am nearly 15lbs heavier balloning to 150lbs (I am 5'5) - I work out 4-5 days a week and eat very well, NOTHING wil take the weight off.

I have been constipated to the point I have emitted blood.

I have been the most irritable and moody person, I am beginning to dislike myself for blowing up at everything, all the time. My boyfriend is starting to notice, the other day he listerally said,
"Who ARE YOU and what have you done to my sweet girlfriend?"

On the plus side (literally now lol) my skin is very nice and my periods are regular but extremely heavy. I am going off this pill when I see my doctor next week, I cannot take this anymore, I keep g aining and gaining, nothing will stop it. Quit while you still can, this pill is falsely advertised.

My stomach is like a balloon and my hips are spreading, it's as if I were pregnant.

PS - I am SOOOO happy someone brought up the VISION blurriness, I have PILOT vision and recently i can't read worth a damn.

Good luck. I can't wait to get the old me back :)

DO NOT START THIS PILL IF YOU PLAN TO WEAR A BATHING SUIT THIS SUMMER!

I have been on this drug for approx 2.5 yrs. I am now a moody person with no interest in anything. I try and be positive, but have a headache all day everyday !!!!! on both sides of my head down to my jaw. I also grind my teath badly.I cannot sleep at all, and when I do, when I wake up feeling that I have done a days work. I have had an iritable stomach also. Please if you think that these problems are caused by singulair please mail me .
