Physicologist symptoms and conditions

My 9 year old daughter has been on singular for several years now for allergy and asthmatic type of symptoms. This year she was in third grade and she has struggled all year and her teachers say that she day dreams alot and seems like she can't controll maintaining focus. That she just don't have the attention she needs. She has trouble memorizing things like multiplecation facts. So i finally decided to take her to a phsycologist and she felt like she may be depressed and also they tested her for add. Before all of this i actually had her tested for diabetes because she is tired all of the time and urinates often. Well those tests came back fine. Her phsycologist said the results from her add test came back that she was add. My daughter's father was dead set on medicating her so he started searching and came across this web site. Now that i have read these i am not sure that she has add at all. Because she also has had nightmares and leg cramps, and severe constipation. It just never occurred to me that it could have been her allergy med. I have taken her off of the singular and plan to test her again in a few months for add and see if there is a difference in the results. Before we go down the road to med. for add.

Guest 20168--Guest 20077 here...thanks so much for your response. I am really overwhelmed at all this though... it's crazy how many women are listing their problems with Yasmin. Don't you think there should be something done with it? I do, just don't know how. I'd like to see how many women there are that do not have problems taking the pill. I just found out that quite a few of my friends take the same kind, and one didn't have any side effects...the other didn't have any problems when taking it, but said that after she stopped with the pills, she did feel better--more energized, motivated, more like herself. I am utterly frustrated at everything...and not just because the pills are making me feel that way. You read about the situation I had with the doctor...I have been seeing a counselor/phsycologist about the lack of sleep issue, and she doesn't seem to think it's Depression, as she says that people who are depressed think they are... I'd say I'm depressed, but that's not more than feeling down every day. She says she hopes to find the truth behind my problems... and I said I hope that depression isn't the truth and that it's just something simple, like Yasmin. All this just because I can't sleep. Before taking Yasmin, actually, as far as I could remember, I had a hard time with sleeping. Even as a little kid...but with this birth control, something with many great benefits, I've become exhausted, angry, frustrated, tense, anxious, stressed, overwhelmed, etc. All that. As the Doc has said, "You're depressed. Come back in 3 weeks." Yea, and about those antidepressants...I don't mind taking pills...I'd rather take an antidepressant to feel better than be taking 7 or 8 different sleeping pills in one night just to find sleep. No one seems to understand, or seems willing to understand, besides women who post on websites. Thank Heaven for you ladies and thank heaven for caring families. I wish I could show them Me...who I really am. I wish I could see who I am and feel just like me.
