Sense of security symptoms and conditions

I feel like I am Demon Posessed! I am a Christian woman who loves her husband and children more than life itself, and in the last three weeks I have turned into a crazy person. I had the Mirena put in three months ago. I had a period or spotting for two and a half months but two weeks ago when that stopped the crazy devil woman showed up. I have never suffered from depression, anxiety, poor self image or rage until now. In reality I am 29, 140pounds and have the best husband and two great kids 2 and four months. my life was better than ever and then all of a sudden in my mind my husband did not love me and was not doing his part to fulfill my needs and my children were more than I could deal with, I was getting hostile impatient angry and depressed I felt ugly, soooooo fat and had no control over my life. I also had suicidal thoughts and I tried to leave my husband. I wanted him to know how hard it was and I wanted him to feel what I was going through, because he was living in the rational and I wasn't I was angry, alone and scared. then all of a sudden I couldn't even remember why I was upset and everything seemed fine. I had a bad go with the pill, I was emotional and a little irrational and insecure but when I went off of it I was fine. I am getting this taken out because even though the dose of hormone is supposed to be small I feel as though I am hitting a wall of intense or (nonexistent at times) emotions. I just kept crying to my husband last night, I want me back... I want me back, and he does too. I also had the headaches cramping and discharge, a yeast infection, itching and weight gain, bloating and I feel like I have no energy, I don't mind having sex but it isn't something I Iook forward to. I feel so very ashamed for the way my husband and children have been treated by me and I will be the first to say that nothing is worth loosing your family, your sense of security in yourself and your sanity. The doctor told me that I might be in post pardom or need depression meds.... NO I DON'T! I don't feel like medicating a medication. And thats what I would be doing. This Was NOT for me and it almost ruined my family. My husband is a great man and if it wasn't for his patience and kindness we would not be doing good right now. I am looking forward to having it taken out. I miss myself and who I am is not this woman of constant sorrow!!! One thought in my mind stands out... If I would have committed suicide, would Mirena have been responsible? In all of my life I have never had thoughts like these and It hurts me to think that there are woman out there who could be acting out in response to this birth control. I felt like hurting my children... I felt like leaving my husband... I felt like killing myself. And This IS NOT WHO I AM. My doctor is taking it out today and she isn't charging me because we have no insurance and she is a very good woman. I am thankful that my story is this and that it didn't get much worse. My sister is on it too and she is having the same problems except she is having hallucinations. I am trying to tell her to get it out but the doctor told her that its the breast feeding. I disagree with that because she has breast fed all her children and this has never happened. I didn't breast feed while on this and I am having crazy things happen. Don't let the doctor talk you out of getting it removed it didn't get better for me over time it got worse.

I sttarted taking yasmin for skin reasons and take it at night around 8pm. Every morning i have been NAUSEOUS until around lunch time. I'm incredibly THIRTSY, and am super LETHARGIC at 24! I have been on it for 11 days but after taking tonights pill and suffering from BLOATEDNESS, and my breats are SWOLLEN and TENDER! I feel SPACEY but not spacey enough to chuck the packet out immediately! I'd never say don't try it but be vigilent. I read the precautions before taking it, but was lulled into a false sense of security by it being low oestrogen doses. The onbly good thing is I am too nauseous to smoke, but also to function.

To Kay who just recently posted, HANG IN THERE....I was on Yasmin for nearly 2 years and suffered from depression, rapid heart rate and severe anxiety for the last couple of months of taking it before realising it was due to Yasmin and getting off it. I have now been off it for 4 months and everything has been getting better each month...however, the main symptom that has lingered has been ANXIETY. Prior to Yasmin, I have never in my life had an issue with anxiety and each month (mainly around ovulation and period time) I get obsessive/irrational/negative thoughts and become more panicky and anxious. Each month has gotten better, but I am aware of it taking anywhere up to 7 months for some women for these effects to completely go. Be sure to cut out any caffiene as this only makes it worse. Also, I tried magnesium supplements as I heard it can lessen anxiety but it only made me worse so I stopped. It DOES get better but it takes a while. I think we almost need a website for those who have STOPPED taking Yasmin as much as those suffering whilst on it. GOODLUCK and take care.

WARNING to the guest who posted a reply to desperate boyfriend about the fact that you are now on Yasmin and feeling great...I too thought Yasmin was great for a year and a half until I was completely taken over with depression, dizzy spells, rapid heart rate and anxiety. Please watch how you're feeling as I would not recommend Yasmin to anyone, and would not wish my experience on my worst enemy. Do not be lulled into a false sense of security cause it seems to be ok at the moment. If I had been warned of the possible effects of this pill I could have saved myself and my family a whole lot of heartache.

Lots of hugs out there to those getting off this awful drug. It takes time, but you will get better and get back to your 'old self'!!!

Was prescribed Levaquin for UTI. 8th day, knee swelling and severe pain in tendons in back of knees, had to stay off my feet. If it weren't for the computer, I wouldn't have known that tendonitis was one of the adverse reactions to this medication. I stopped medication immediately. 1 wk later tendons in hands very painful. I'm glad I found this web site. By reading people's experiences, it helped me cope with the pain and gave me hope that this will eventually disappear. I seem to be more fortunate then some, its 5 wks since I stopped medication and knees seem to be alot better, only hurt if I stand or walk too long. Left hand is the problem, still very painful, have to stop and rest it often. Sometimes I am lulled into a false sense of security and think everything is back to normal, then pain returns. Pharmacy, doctors have been no help, very evasive. Filed a report with Drug Co. In the meantime, I will have to REST and drink plenty of water and hope this will all disappear eventually. Good luck to all who are suffering. I have prayed more often.

PS: Comment for the wise guy who made light of people's pain from these side effects. From what I read, Levaquin side effects may not appear until after you've had taken them several times. So watch out, you may be eating those words.
