Tempermental symptoms and conditions

(EVERYONE SHOULD READ THIS) I started taking YAZ two and half months ago and everything started out O.K. Then after missing one pill, I started having the worst cramps I've ever had in my entire life. I kept taking my pills on time in hopes of stopping the period and cramps but instead while I was bathing a Huge Fleshy Mass came out of me followed by several blood clots. My husband immediately put the mass in a sealed bag and put it in the refrigerator. I took it it in to see a specialist which claimed it probably was some weird side effect to YAZ causing my Uterine Wall to shed. He also admitted the pill hasn't been out long enough to study all the potential side effects. He suggested I finish out my supply and switch to another type of birth control pill. Yesterday I just started my period again, prematurely, and my cramps are again unbearable...I'm dead tired and moody and hope I'm not passing another mass...and I've made it up in my mind to throw away this year supply of YAZ and suggest anyone taking it with harsh side effects to do the same. REMEMBER LADIES THE RECALL ON THE PATCH THAT MADE SO MANY WOMEN VERY SICK??? DON'T BE A GUINEA PIG AND END UP NOT BEING ABLE TO GET PREGNANT. I wish you all the best in finding the right form of birth control...Take Care!!!

My son is 7 and has been taking singulair for about 3 1/2 years, we first noticed that he was rowdy and very tempermental, he also had trouble sttling down at night. The Dr. didn't put much faith in my concern for the medication. Recently he has tried to seriously harm himself and has been quite down, we have seen the Dr. and he has never once woried about the side effects of the medication. i came across some very disturbing information in the canadian cps boo that supported my theory and have taken him off the medication, within the first few days he seemed very down, but has now returened to my fun loving sweet little boy. Thanks to everyone for sharing I would never have thougth to pursue this if there were not other parents who had the same experience.

I have now been on Yasmin for about 9 months and I am just realizing how much of an effect it is having on my life. Once I started taking it I noticed that I was very tempermental and that my sex drive decreased severely. I figured these symptoms would go away once my body was used to the horomones. But here I am 9 months later and still having the same side effects. Am I supposed to get married in the fall and me and my fiancee are now experiencing problems due to my symptoms from taking Yasmin. I am planning on making an appointment with my physician next month to see if there isn't a better bcp with less side effects.

My brother has a nerve disease that affects his legs and feet.
Numbness and severe pain. He has alot of good days though.
As far as the withdrawl symptoms I've experienced are: insomnia, sadness (real bad), tempermental, hands swelling, sweating ( could not tolerate heat or humidity), blurry vision, extreme lack of self-esteem. My hands do not swell anymore, moodiness is better, still have insomnia, weight is coming off slowly and as I talked about before, my stomach problems have finally stopped. I was on pred. 4 yrs. So I feel like I'm doing alot better and so will your son. After reading all the posts when I first found this site, I didn't feel so strange and alone. Of course, everyone is different. Just know he will get rid of the withdrawl. My doctor had me quit cold turkey and that's why I feel I have had such a hard time. Weaning off of it is the right thing to do. I also had horrible headaches which have stopped. Take care.....Keep us posted on your son...........: )

I am SHOCKED this stuff is still on the market!
My dear, sweet, loving (& normally a little tempermental) 3yo daughter turned into a stark-raving lunatic on this! she was on it for 3wks along with Flovent for allergies/asthma. At first we noticed a little difference in her sleep patterns but thought it might have been the sudden good weather & loads of activity outside. Suddenly, during week 3, she developed stomach pain & fever. Vomiting began that night & intermittently through the next day. Her pain increased greatly in her stomach & back. She had no control of her emotions and she was filled with RAGE! All the while she kept pleading "Help me!, I can't do this!!". She was not eating & barely sleeping. After a few calls to the Doc, they agreed to meet us at the office on a Sunday but declared her to have a "tummy virus" & that it would pass. I knew there was something else wrong, but what? The vomiting & fever did subside by the next day but her behavior was COMPLETELY out of control! I had never seen such bad behavior out of any kid. She couldn't behave(or stop screaming) even when she wanted to. I prayed God would give me the answer & it just popped in my head...singulair. Sure enough, checking the trusty web, I was able to find tons of info which confirmed this. As I called the Doc the next day they said stop the singulair & let her recover from the "tummy bug" & restart singulair in 2 wks. They weren't convinced it was totally to blame & wanted to give it another try. OVER MY DEAD BODY will my little girl take that stuff again. Parents you know your kids, trust your instincts & just tell the docs NO!
We are now 4 days from her last dose & already we see a huge change in her. She is sweet & loving again with no more pain, no out of control behavior,and she is sleeping soundly again.
Mark my words, this will be one of those drugs we read about in the news along with all those others rushed to the market that end up destoying lives. Thanks for the encouragement & knowing we are not alone in this. Bless you M&S

I HAVE BEEN ON OVCON FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF NOW AFTER TRYING OTHER PILLS AND FAILING TO REGULATE MY PERIOD. THIS ONE STARTED TO WORK. MY BLEEDING WAS LESS HEAVY(I WAS A SEVERE BLEEDER) AND MY CRAMPS WERE TONING DOWN ( I SUFFERED FROM SEVERE CRAMPS EVER SINCE I GOT MY FIRST PERIOD) BUT NOW THINGS ARE STARTING TO BE DIFFERENT. I HAVE BEEN TEMPERMENTAL LATELY AND VERY ANGRY. I HEARD THAT WHILE ON BIRTHCONRTOL PILLS, YOU EXPERIENCE SOME SIDE EFFECTS AS IF YOU WERE PREGNANT E.G. THE EATING HABITS AND NAUSEA. BUT I AM HUNGRY ALL OF THE TIME. I GET REALLY SICK IF I DON'T EAT. HALF OF THE TIME I CAN'T EAT WHAT'S IN FRONT OF ME. I FEEL SO NAUSEAED AT TIMES TO WERE I JUST WISH WHAT EVER IT WAS WILL JUST COME OUT. I'M TIRED ALL OF THE TIME. I'M CALLING MY GYN IN THE MORNING BECAUSE IT HAS GOTTEN OUT OF HAND NOW. I JUST HOPE THAT SHE CAN LET ME KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT THIS.

I have been on Zoloft for two and a half weeks, and in a constant mental struggle with the fact of being on psych medication (one minute I'm going to stop taking it, the next I'm giving it another week). Have seen few benefits, although early in the course of usage. One benefit is I'm tiring out earlier at night and getting good sleep. Another is probably a placebo effect of feeling a little more calm and less tempermental. But the negative side effects have been a minor sexual problem in finding great difficulty achieving climax. The worst side effect (assuming it is a side effect of the drug), is urinary incontinence, especially at night. I wake up with urgent bladder pain only to release a small amount of urine with almost no force behind it. This is followed by several daily episodes similar in nature and lately a mild pain in my lower left abdomen. I am visiting the doctor today in hopes of determining the cause of this, but it seems too coincidental to not be related to the Zoloft. I'm stopping cold turkey today.
