Petrified symptoms and conditions

An Urgent Care doctor perscribed this to my 16 year old son. We do trust our doctors, but apparently this is NOT to be given to minors. After ONLY the 2 pill, my son could not hardly speak, his jaw was so so crooked, I thought he was having a stroke! He was so petrified and it truly was the most horrble thing we have ever gone through. We rushed him to ER and the doctor could not beleive that the perscribed this to a 16 year old, and that Rite Aid filled this prescription! Never would I recommend this. The ER doctor said as soon as it was out of my sons system he would be okay, and recommended Benadryl. After the first dose of Benadryl, he was okay and this drug was out of his system in about 2 days. Another terrible side effect was his face would not stop twitching. AWEFUL.

Surprisingly i have been ok on this pill. i was on yasmin, then switched to yaz (which was the worst pill ever! i had my period for over 3 weeks on that pill). I've just started on Femcon, and it immediately stopped my breakthrough bleeding. the only side affect i think im experiencing is the headaches! i've been really stressed lately so i dont know if it has to do with that or the pill. also i have been REALLY tired a lot. i seem to wake up, do something then want to crawl back to bed for a few hours. anyone else get tired on this pill? other than that, the pill is actually working. now if we could just fix these headaches...

my son is 4. we started singulair at 1pm. that evening he woke up screaming and running around with terrible halucinations, totally petrified! we knew at once it had to be singulair. again he woke up at 1200 same horrible experience. it is now 130 am. we will never again give it to him. we feel aweful. will this go away?

have used kenalog/xylocaine injections over the years for hip and LS Spine pain due to Fibromyalgia, but never more than 1 injection every 3 months. When I saw my rheumy on5/9/06, she said she would NEVER give just one. She insisted on giving me 4 ! one in each hip and 1 in each buttock. She said she's given as many as 5 at a time, every 5-6 months, with no problems. I have so many probs with allergic reactions to so masny meds, I was petrified. But she's always done well for me, for 17 years. Other than having sleep probs, I was walking and having full mobility in 2 days. However on 5 17/06 I began having severe body wide itching. No welts, but appears to be hives. Do you think there's a connectin to the injection? I'll call my pharmacist today and see wehat he says. Can't narrow it down to anything else. Any ideas?

I am so thankful that I found this site. Usually I wouldn't post something like this but I have found that it is so important for people to realize that it was the Yasmin because of what it did to me.

I started on Yasmin about 9 months ago and it was great. I had no side effects but only mild moodiness which I just attributed to my ultra sensitive personality. But all of a sudden a month ago things got really bad. I suffered the worst depression and I honestly thought that something was seriously wrong with me because I had never had issues with any sort of depression in the past. I would cry every day, I would not want to talk to anybody (including friends) except my mother to whom I would cry nonstop. I had anxiety and my heart would race. I also could not seem to control my mind. I was petrified because my mind would race and I would be paranoid and worried about the most ridiculous things and I simply could not get under control. I lost 10 pounds in a month because my appetite became non-existent so that I would eat maybe once a day, and not much at that. I would wake up 3 or 4 hours earlier than usual and not be able to get back to sleep no matter how hard I tried due to the anxiety and heart palpitations I was having. Honestly, for all of this to hit you all at once out of nowhere is a terrifying experience, and I was so embarrased that I didn't want to say anything to anybody.

When I found this site it was like one thousand pounds were lifted off of my back. I realized that it was a hormonal imbalance and that I needed to get off Yasmin right away. I threw away the pill pack right in the middle. It took 2 weeks, but like magic, 2 weeks to the day that I stopped taking it I was miraculously a new person. I had never been so happy, partially because this burden was lifted off of me, and also because I didn't feel like I couldn't control how I felt anymore. I realized all of my friends who I had alienated because of my behavior that at the time I didn't care about.

This took a huge toll on me, and thankfully I figured out that it was the Yasmin before it continued for much longer. Thanks you to all of you who posted and for those of you reading, nobody deserves to feel this way and you are not crazy. Thanks again!

Hello. I was on Yasmin for two years. I had a lot of crying and emotional problems, but I never linked it to Yasmin. Then Planned Parenthood put me on Desogen, for no reason other than they were pushing Desogen that month. I developed irritability and no interest in sex so I went off pills completely for 4 months. I went back on Yasmin and OH MY GOD. Everything you guys are saying as far as headaches, nasea, and most importantly - SUICIDAL THOUGHTS! I was crying daily and screaming at everyone. I was petrified that my life was going to end. It was DEFINATELY the Yasmin. Someone else here said they went off for awhile, then when they went back on it was much WORSE. That is what happened to me. I went off and literally a WEEK later all those crazy thoughts and upset feelings left. Evaporated.

Now I'm faced with WHAT THE HELL birth control pill do I try? I've been studying all the differences by reading up on things. Isn't it too bad these stupid doctors don't care enough to really learn about birth control pills and their effects on different people before the DOSE AWAY. I might try the ring. I don't know...

Just to give some perspective - I'm 35 and have been on Lupron for a month now, for fibroids. I, too, was petrified after reading about all of the side effects. I know that some women have horrible problems from lupron, and I really feel for all of you who suffer from it. But it's important to remember that usually, the only people who will post in forums like this are those that have horrible problems - the ones who do fine on the drug rarely, if ever, post anything. So it's easy to get a skewed picture.

After one month, the only side effect I've seen is a few mild hot flashes, mostly at night. A couple of times in the night, I'll have to pull the blankets off, then I go back to sleep. No big deal in my case. Otherwise, nothing - no weight gain, no excessive tiredness, no unusual moodiness, nothing. I'm hoping the next 2 months will be the same - and I think they will be.

I don't want to downplay the negative effects some people have had - I know they're real. But not everyone suffers from them, and I wanted to post for people who are considering starting Lupron, so that they can see it's not all bad.

I have had bloating, aching legs, feeeling of pressure in the eyes, spangly vision, blurring of vision - and I think that has contributed to my first ever car accident today after 17 years without an accident (my 2 year old was in the car at the time!!!!!), depression (and I am soooo angry that none of this was mentioned when I ASKED what the side effects were - I have battled with depression for many years and have not come this far just to have a drug take it away from me!) I have also battled with weight gain over the last 18 months and lost 60lbs. I asked about weight gain and was told it would just be an increase in appetite. I have honestly watched what I have eaten and gained 6lbs in 3 days!!!!!!!!!!!! Also mood swings. And why am I on it? I went to an ENT doc with a fluttering in my ear that has been annoying me for about 2 or 3 months. On further investigation, he said I had a lot of mucus in one of my nasal passages and that may well be giving me the fluttering sensation in my ear. Compared to the other complaints for which this drug is prescribed, I'd say it was pretty minor. I CANNOT BELIEVE HE PRESCRIBED THIS FOR ME. I feel dreadful and am facing a fine or day in court for a traffic accident that I feel is related to the use of this drug. I am also petrified that it will take me a long time to reverse the effects of this drug. I will be calling the doctor to get me off this drug first thing this morning...he even made the restlessness/mania sound positive...'some people report a feeling of energy and get their attic cleaned out...' What about screwing up my body??? I am scared. If anyone can help me feel less scared, I would appreciate it.
