State of depression symptoms and conditions

I have been on Yasmin for two and a half months now. It was prescribed to me by my doctor as a means of treating 2 cyst that developed because of my endometriosis as a means of avoiding surgery. He put me on it for 3 months but because I forgot to start the second pack for 2 weeks I had to start the 3 month period all over. The first month I took Yasmin the side effects were minimal but since I started taking it in May I have gotten a constant vaginal itch and pain, my eye sight is blurry, stomach feels sick and I get stomach pains, neck pains, shoulder pains, leg pains and hip pains, pains in my face, little or no lubrication during intercourse, constantly have to urinate, stomach feels like its tightening and has gotten really big, gets short of breathe easily, bad headaches, I feel as though I would pass out any minute when I am standing or walking, I am disinterested in everything, I get nausea, I have lost all interest in sex, I feel bloated all the time, I have lost all taste in my mouth, feels very tired and fatigued all the time, I feel very sad for no reason. I keep feeling sick all the time and have lost interest in food. When I am sitting I feel the pains in my legs and hip even more. I am falling into a state of depression and it is beginning to show at work. I am also gaining a lot of weight, rapidly, and really don't know what to do about it because I am very careful with the things I eat, how they are cooked and the time I eat also and I do exercise. I really don't know if I should continue until I finish the 3 months to see if it works for me or if I should stop taking the Yasmin and ask my doctor to try something else. I just don't feel altogether right now.

I have had Mirena for 4 years and have gained 20kg. My binge eating is now out of control and I feel this is because of a state of depression. I get terrible sharp pains in my ovaries and have experienced lower back pain since getting the mirena. I also have puss filled boil like sores on my groin that are very painful. I wouldn't care if I never had sex again and my energy level is zero. I have one day that I have heaps of energy and then stuffed for the next 7. I now suffer with visual migraines and get dizzy a lot. My blood pressure is high and feel as though I have a lump in my throat. I am getting my Mirena out ASAP. I can't believe how much the doctors love this product and claim that it is perfectly safe. They said that about the morning sickness pills that caused babies to be born without limbs. Wake up Medical. Stop your ignorance and do your research.

My daughter was taking a deadly cocktail of Zyrtec, Advair, and Singulair. She was on these medications for three years. At the time we thought that it was fantastic that her severe asthma and allergies were finally under control. After about six months of being on the medications we saw her slowly decline into a state of depression and withdrawal, she had constant headaches, she couldn't sleep, she was no longer interested in any of her friends or activities. She went from a loving and sweet girl to an angry and bitter person. In 2003 she committed suicide. Six months after her death reports started to come out about the links to Singulair and depression and suicide. Perhaps it was the combination of the three drugs in her case. If we would have had any idea what the effects of these drugs were we would have taken her off of them immediately! Please spread the word about the dangers of Singulair, Zyrtec, and Advair. Go on to the other sites and read what people have been posting and you will be shocked. The Singulair survivors are banning together to try and get this medication pulled. Do what you can to spread the word!

I am happy to have found this site. I have been on Yasmin I believe about 3 years. I am educated in the insurance industry, so I should have known better. I really thought I was going crazy. My mood swings have been horrible for a long time. I am snap at my family just saying everyday things. I sound angry even when I am not. I know I am doing this, but can not control it. I get terrible headaches, muscle stiffness, nausea, exhaustion, and I have gained weight. I also have issues with severe anxiety and wake up in a panic sweating at times. I got hot flashes out of the blue. I have come to the conclusion I need to be off of this pill immediately and I believe that I will start to feel better. I will keep you posted.

About six months after my daughter started taking yasmine. her moods changed, her personality changed, she was is a state of depression and was having panic attacks regularly.she lost an excessive amount of weight and was thinking about suicide. I asked her doctor and a gyn if the yasmine could possibly be causing these side effects. They both said no. So she started getting treatments for depression and anxiety and was put on medication. Paxil. This medication seemed to be helping at first but then she started having the same effects as before and she was still taking the yasmine. in the last 3 months she has been taking the birth control shot and has not taken yasmine or paxil and is now doing great. I'm really disappointed in her doctor's because a lot of her misery could have been avoided if we had been told this earlier. My daughter was on Yasmine for 2 years before I finally decide to check the side effects from the internet myself. Now she says she feels so much better and is back doing things with her friends again is having a fun teenage life. Never again will I let her use Yasmine!!!!

i have been on celexa or citalopram for 4 months god it seems longer then that lol. i havent gained but have lost weight im holding at 210lbs i take 20mg a day i have taken 40 mgs but it caused mood swings so i went back to 20 mgs and all is good im 42. as far as sex i have found i hold an erection for about an hour befor i can orgasam i have found that at 40mgs my erection will start to fall but come back.
this is weard because most males state theye cant hold one.
my mind set is a feeling of nothing matters im a happy person yet nothing bothers me. i tried to go off the med but after 3 days without it i was a very angry person i tapered off just like i started up so it wasent due to a sudden withdrawl. i just wasent ready i guess. and for those people who are giving this drug to childeren i advise you dont. there are just to many issues with this drug that havent been worked out and i really belive most doctors dont even read these posts from users. and therefor theye have no idea of the things we go through. theye have the mind set of if its not posted in the jeronal of med it dont count for crap. as far as no sleep for a long time ya it happens i dident sleep for 3 days when i first started on this drug i had a craving for sweets and im not really a big fan of sweets and is most likely why i am holding at the same weight because i dont give in i eat once a day and i eat fish and veggies or beef and veggies and alot of garlic i dont eat pork i love pork but its got to much fat for me
i cook most of my food in olive oil and no eggs and 1%milk if i use milk im not a milk drinker i just dont care for it. i havent been sick in over 10 years and cant remember my last cold i dont take flu shots. and i wont use penacillin. i hope iv helped someone i know iv added alot more info but it seems alot of people are gaining weight that puts them back into a state of depression so maybe by using my diet theye might be able to hold at a desired weight. ps when i say i eat lots of garlic im saying 4 cloves a day added to my cooking food olive oil i only use extra virgin i dont use margarin or lard or shortning
i remove all fat from meat and skin from chicken all veggies are fresh fish is salmon, mackarial,tuna,sardines i also drink 1 glass of red wine a day should be 8oz but its more like 16 lol
good luck everybody
