Six month supply symptoms and conditions

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 experience with Yasmin was teriible. I am 22 years old and this is my first BCP. I am in the military and have a very jumpy period. I skip months at a time. My doctor put me on progesterone pills for 10 days to boost my estrogen so that my period would come. Talk about an emotional ten days. After my cycle was over I started Yasmin. I was only taking these pills for a week and I was always tired, lethargic, depressed, had horrible mood swings and no sex drive. I didnt want to do anything but sleep. I felt bloated and desgusting. Between the estrogen and these pills I felt a significant change in my personality and didint like it at all. I threw out a six month supply and after only being off of them a few days I am much happier and getting back to normal. STAY AWAY FROM YASMIN!!!
