i have had my mirena for about 1 1/2 months now, and so far i love it, i have had the spotting for the first month which doesn't bother me and now my period is on and i do have very bad diarrhea which im sure is associated with the period more than the mirena itself. haven't had any lack of sex drive in fact i 've wanted to have more sex, and i haven't' been irritable or anything else, so some of the side effects i believe everyone is having may be made up, think about it if you read over and over and over again how bad the mirena is your going to begin to feel that way i know if i tell myself that my arm hurts all day long then eventually it feels like it hurts..neways all im saying is relax stop reading these scary ass posts and do something to take your mind off of it, i know 3 other people who have the mirena that live down the road from me and NONE of them have had any of these problems...ladies i think you are just trying to find something to blame it on...

I took lexapro for anxiety and mild depression for 3 months, but after experiencing anorgasm, (the inability to reach orgasm) I talked to my doctor and we decided to try Wellbutrin. I have been on it for a week, and I am experiencing the jittery, boxed up nervousness. In addition today I dry heaved all day.....I almost feel like I did when I took adderall for ADHD in College (got off of that b/c it made me a zombie-ish b*tch) And last night I cried for 2 hours without really knowing why. So, I don't know if maybe this med is not good for me, and if I should notice some relief by now....lexapro was great for the mood--always happy, easy going and a bit nonchalant, but I gained 10 pounds in 3 months (started at 115 so 10 lbs is a lot for a person as small as I am) and the orgasm problem was not good as I am 27 and newly married....wondering if there is anyone out there that switched from lexapro to wellbutrin and if their symptoms subsided after a couple of weeks......

I forgot to mention that I have the attention span of a flea - no idea if it's connected to NuvaRing but I thought I would mention it. I also have been a total b*tch in general.
I just put it in this past Sunday and am thinking about taking it out today (Thursday) just to be done with it. I feel like crap anyway so why not. But I am wondering as someone else did whether I will get my period again in a couple days? At this point I don't think it matters.

First and for most...I AM SOOO HAPPY I FOUND THIS!
I was starting to think I was pregnant with my side effects of this drug.
I just started taking Yasmin 2 month ago. I haven't weighed myself but I am so bloated I look like I've gain maybe 7-10 pounds.
I've gotten so depressed and just angry for no reason. I recently went with my husband to his company x-mas party, then the after party and had THE WORST TIME! I'm usually a pretty out going person but I was just sitting there being a bitter and angry b_tch for no reason what so ever.
I've been feeling nauseated, and constipated, super tender breasts. The list goes on!
One thing though I'm wondering if anyone els has had....I'm not totally sure if this caused it but since taking it, while my husband and I have sex, I get to moist we barley feel each other. Then when I stand up it just drips. Sorry for being so crass but I really want to know if anyone els had this happen to them.
Want to know of a better pill to try??? TRI-LEVLEN!! I was using this for years, with literally NO side effects. I had to switch though my provider no long carries it. It's a shame!

I have turned into a total b*tch and my insides are constantly burning. Sometimes I could not sleep at night. I am constantly depressed tho there is nothing really going wrong in my life. I cannot take the pill because it makes me vomit. At first I would barf up the pill, then it got to the point I would barf whenever I handled the package (Pavlovian reaction). I cannot use the patch because no one wants to see a peach square on a black belly dancer. Shots are out of the question.
When I first used the ring several years ago, it was just fine. I stopped and started again. Now, I super moody and I cannot stand my boyfriend (he's a fine guy, I'm just in no mood to deal with him).

I was first put on Lexapro for anxiety/panic attacks and that was way to strong for me-I felt very tired and had bad abdomen pains. So my doc switched me to Zoloft. Bad idea. On Zoloft, at first i felt very bad brain fog and had a panic attack every day for at least the first two weeks of being on it and after that went away, i got a pins and needles feeling in my lips and face and hands sometimes too. I panicked about nothing and it gave me really bad moodswings. I would be slap-happy one minute and in tears the next. Or I was just a real B*tch sometimes too. I was very moody. All that went away about a month later and then I got HORRIBLE headaches, so she switched me from 25mg to 50mg. SO MUCH WORSE FOR ME! I had horrible horrible migraines every day i even had to call off work twice it was so bad. She switched me back to 25mg and the headaches still continued. I was on it for a month and a half or 2 months and i gained 10 lbs. at least. I went back to her and she finally took me off the medicine. I have been off it now for almost a week and feel terrible. I have brain fog very bad, feel dizzy and loopy when walking around, sever stomach pains, still eating more and gaining weight, i just feel REALLY out of it! I can not concentrate at my job! BUT MY HEADACHES HAVE VANISHED AND THE DREAMS/NIGHTMARES AT NIGHT ARE GETTING LESS SCARY AND LESS OFTEN!! I hope to lose all side effects within 2 weeks!!!!

First I want to personally thank every single one of you from the bottom of my heart.
I have been on Yasmin for over a year now. I think maybe 2 years. Well I loved the fact I didn't gain any weight at the beginning. Well I have been the biggest b*tch you could ever met. I have had this horrible yeast/bacterial infection since I began Yasmin. I hated everyone, I would stay in my room and sleep everyday if I could, I no longer wanted to have sexual relations with my fiancée, and I just hated my self. I thought I was major depressed but my mom said its something that everyone in college goes through. Now after reading this board I have realized that all this crap is because of my medicine. I have thought I was crazy. I did horrible in high school because all I would do is sleep. I always felt hungry no matter how much I ate. Thank you so much. You are ALL God sent. Thank you all. I go to my OB/GYN Monday for the yeast infections. The first thing I will tell her is I want OFF of yasmin and on to something new.
If anyone has a suggestion of what I could change to please don't hesitate to email me. THANK YOU SO MUCH. I cant thank you enough. You have made me realize I am NOT crazy.

Oh girls. This yasmin stuff.....i know it's supposed to be different for everyone...but i can't help thinking that it's just EVIL
i took yasmin for three weeks and most of my side effects were mental --- it made me feel totally insane. i was nervous and anxious all the time. i cried constantly. and i turned into a total b-tch. so my question...anyone have any idea how long it'll be until i feel back to normal? is there anything i can do to get the stuff out of my system?? (like...take goldenseal or something..).
any help would be much appreciated
