GARDASIL... others have reported similar reactions~ s. in tx

EXTREME PSYCHOTIC SIDE EFFECTS

I want to preface this by stating that I have never had any mental problems aside from occasional depression, and I have never taken any anti-depressants, or similar drugs, or even ever done any illegal drugs, nor do I drink.

I never would have thought in a million years that an antibiotic would have given me such extreme mental side effects. I was given Z-Pak after a tooth extraction as I had a bad (and similar) reaction to Clindamycin.

I was on the 250 MG X 3 days. After the first day I started to suffer from depersonalization. Depersonalization, in my opinion, is the worst thing that can happen to anyone. Essentially I felt like I was dead, in limbo. Nothing mattered. I questioned reality. I felt like a ghost. It was so bad that I had to break out the Bible.

I had to take Valium in order to sleep, as I would wake up in the middle of the night and have an utterly terrifying feeling of dread. I would wake up and "realize" that I did not exist and have a panic attack.

It has been since December 2nd and only now am I feeling anything close to normal mentally.

Ever since day 5 after taking the drug, I have a burning sensation in my upper abdomen on both sides and a pain in my right side. I just pray to God that this damned drug has not burned out my liver.

Worse yet, I had to be put on Doxycycline, as the Z-Pak did not work, and my extraction site became reinfected.

Thank God the Doxycycline is apparently working with no side effects.

The only positive thing about my horrific experience with Z-Pak is that I went to confession and communion and have accepted Jesus as my savior again in my life.

I also have realized that hell does not need the fire and brimstone. The depersonalization I suffered was the same as separation from God. It was the worse experience ever, and I have been through some tough stuff.

I realize that each drug affects everyone differently, but I have read too many posts listing mental side effects to think that my experience was an anomaly.

If you must take this antibiotic, be sure you understand that it can knock you on your ass if you are not expecting it.

I am so happy to have found this site, I only wish I would have researched prior to having Mirena inserted. I have had The Mirena IUD for nearly three years. I thoroughly enjoyed having decreased flow and some months not having a period at all. However now I realize its probably one of the worst decisions I ever made. Only recently have I come realize that my fatigue, inability to concentrate, loss of memory, lack of interest in anything including sex, weight gain, constant yeast and bacterial infections were most likely due to the IUD and not due to anything that I was doing wrong. I have had bouts with depression and have been on meds for that, however it seemed like I was a basket case, over anxious and often times a nervous wreck. There were days recently where I was lethargic, lacked motivation to do anything. Then I'd have a good day, a day where I felt energized and thought, well maybe it was just the gloomy weather. Now I have come to realize it had to be the IUD. That is the only thing that makes sense. I made an appointment and got the IUD removed yesterday and already I can tell a difference in the way I feel. I woke up this morning feeling well rested for the first time in three years. I am looking forward to getting back to the "old me" rather than just a shell of of person that lacked motivation to do anything. I wish I would have investigated further and not listened to my Nurse Practitioner all these years that told me over and over that my symptoms were not the cause of the IUD.

My 3 year old son was having trouble with aggressive behavior in his daycare. The head teacher asked if he was on singulair. When he said he was, she said that that might be the cause of his aggressive behavior.

My wife went with my son to Chile for a month. The singulair prescription ran out while they were there, but because it had not been a month before the last refill before they left, they could not refill the prescription before leaving for Chile. The singulair ran out after their third day in Chile. So my son went a month without taking singulair.

And interestingly, his behavior did not change. He aggression was about the same as before. It is only recently, now that he has been developing more language skills and has also been potty training, that his aggressive behavior is for the most part under control. So in our case, it does not seem that there has been a cause-effect relationship between taking singulair and our child's aggressive behavior. He still takes singulair every day and is doing fine. Also, he never experienced any of the problems sleeping that others reported.

Can we CUT the ER blue hard shell pill into quarters??? Dr says I CAN..Pharmacists say "don't do it". I feel put in the middle of this. I did break it into quarters and took it (2nd day now) and have symptoms..exhausted, feel out of it, dry mouth, flat emotionless, staring, forgetful, confusion... Anyone? can you email me and let me know if you have had this? I'm on the 1/4 of the 100 ER.

I am so glad I found this web site I just wish I had found it BEFORE I took my Singulair this evening. I am a 54 year old mother of 12 year old twin boys and I only just begun taking Singulair 9 days ago for lingering asthma problems I could not shake. My difficulties with Singulair started right away with headaches (though I didn't realize what was going on till I found this site) and by day three I was starting to have the dreadful nightmares that everyone is describing. Now it is also obvious that an extreme depression has settled over me and seems to be getting worse every day. I feel like I am living in the shell of myself and almost as a third party observe the awful way I have been treating my family. It makes me feel so miserable all I want to do is to be by myself, shut down and sleep. I read in the other letters about body/back aches but not about what I have been experiencing. Just a few days ago - terrible leg pains/cramps began pulsate along the back of my upper legs and sometimes the lower back. I am stiff and uncomfortable during the day but at night it is terrible. Each night it has gotten worse. The pain in my legs is nearly unbearable even as I write this and is what propelled me to get back out of bed at midnight and to the computer and to this site. Thank goodness and thank everyone who has written - it is obvious you have saved me much pain and grief - hopefully my letter will help someone else. But for right now this six month supply of Singulair is going in the trash immediately!

My daughter took Lupron as a 14 year old, perfectly normal teenager with the exception of endometriosis. She is now a 33 year old shell of the vibrant teen she was. She is bi-polar, maniac depressive. The changes in her were immediate and startling to say the least. I feel like it ruined her life. I have just started investigating the terrible side effects and was shocked to see so many other people whom lives it destroyed. If anyone has advice, anything to get help, please reply.

My husband shattered his shoulder due to a fall. He has fallen 4 times in four months since taking Seroquel. His balance and motor skills are deteriorating and he is a zombie, a shell of a person. He is a very intelligent man and his cognitive function is seriously diminished. He has stopped this poison and is in a rehab center to help restore mobility, speech and further investigate if Seroquel is the culprit. The consensus so far is that it is. A MRI of the brain revealed nothing. These are serious side effects/ He is also on Wellbutrin and Lamictal. We live in Sarasota, Fl. and psychiatric care is limited. Would appreciate feed back.

hi 1concernedboyfriend, as murph said in her previous post please talk to your girlfriend about getting off this pill,there are other contraceptive options that are a much healthier,even another brand of pill if she really wants to stay on oral birth control pills,there is just something very wrong with yasmin,we don't know what yet but it seems to cause terrible mental,physical and emotional problems that can have long term consequences,i have been off yasmin since june 06 and am still suffering mood swings and anxiety.like you my poor husband thought that i did not love him or find him attractive any more,he had to watch his once happy confident wife crumble into this shell of a person who was a wreck,i felt not anxious so much as terrified all day everyday i could not leave the house without a full blown panic attack,i had terrible scary thoughts racing through my mind,i would shake,my teeth would chatter,i could not get my breath. my husband was fantastic and he took over the care of the house and our 2 children because i could not do a thing,i would just shake and cry all day.

I was previously put on Lexapro 10mg a day after having my first child with the intention of helping me calm down my new mother nerves. It made me feel aweful and I started having panic attacks. (I have never had them before) My doc then changed me to Paxil 10mg a day for the first week, then 20mg a day thereafter. Well, I am only 2 days into it and I already feel like a shell of myself. I have had crazy dreams and wake up several times in the night. And most frustrating I have been so irratable, biting my husbands head off at minor things. I noticed I am eating like crazy, in fact I have gained 5 pounds since Friday. I know these meds take a while to take effect and the doc said I could experience things like this and even suicide thoughts at first, but now I am terrified that I am toying with my sanity and I was better off before the medications in the first place.

I've been on the pill for just a month...i'm in the last days of the inactive pills. I have always had anxious tendencies (was on medication 4 yrs ago and have just pushed through them since then)...but this month I've felt like a monster!!

Most of you have never had anxiety before taking the pill, which is a clear indicator that it's not right for you.

Has anyone ever had problems with anxiety PRIOR to taking the pill? And can you compare your condition once you started taking it? I definitely feel it's worse for me...I feel insane, like a cold, unfeeling monster...I feel like I'm trapped beneath this hard shell of anger/apathy.

Any feedback from those that had suffered anxiety prior to Yasmin?
