Thoght symptoms and conditions

I HAVE BEEN USING NR FOR ABOUT 9 MONTHS. I THOGHT EVERYTHING WAS SWEET. I HAD HEADACHES, BUT I DIDNT ASSOCIATE THEM WITH THE RING. JUST IN THE PAST WEEK I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS. I KEEP HAVING A BROWN VAGINAL DISCHARGE. IT DOESNT SMELL FOUL. DISCHARGE SHOULDNT CARRY A SCENT AT ALL, BUT IT DOES. ALONG WITH THIS IS VAGINAL IRRITATION. SOMETIMES SEX DOES NOT INTEREST ME AND THERE IS A DECREASE IN LUBRICATION.

I first got immediate good sleep from Ambien. However, I began to develop a kind of nervousness, almost like jet lag. When arriving at work I was nearly shaking in my hands. I thoght it might be some mild alcohol consumption to I stoped that. Then I went to good meals 3 times a day. Still nothing. I just stopped Ambien and feel like a new person. I don't sleep well at night but at least I'm back to what I think it normal. I was at a point where I thought I was having a nervous breakdown. As soon as I got off Ambien I am normal again. Jim

Hello Sophie,

I am exactly around 6 months also and yes feel the exact same way you do.. like I can't take it anymore... or maybe I should just get back on the bc pills and maybe that might help, etc.

I still suffer from bad digestion and anxiety problems. What is your main problem? For me it's like a total loss of well-being. I really am starting to notice a cycle though.. I seem to get worse right after my period for about a week, then get better (a little), and then worse again. How about you?

I am noticing that as time goes by, it gets a little (a very little) bit better. That to me is the hard part, knowing how slow progression seems to be.

I am trying to fight this with acupuncture, regular walks, spiritual healing (Sukyo Mahikari) and finally Prozac.

Yes, I know how everybody says they refuse to put another medication in their body, and "Oh, I am not depressed, etc" I thought the exact same thing! I was like no way in hell was I going to put another medicine in my body that can give me bad side effects, etc.

BUT, it has already been 6 months and being this ill with all the Doctors telling me they can't find anything... and suffering through each cycle was more than I could bear at that point. I did research and found that Prozac has been prescribed to treat PMDD (Pre menstrual dysphoric disorder) So I thoght if Prozac can help this hormone related issue, maybe it can help mine.

Also, Prozac has been shown to help 60 % of cases of digestion problems, which is exactly what I suffer from. Finally, being this ill for this long... with no answers or salvation is making me depressed anyway, which of course could lead to even more depression brought on symptoms!

Prozac is the best ssri as far as not being hard to withdraw from as it has a 9.3 long half life.

Well, I have been on it for 10 days know, and had ZERO side effects and can actually say that I have been improving a bit. Prozac is not like BCP's and AT LEAST it won't mess up your hormones like Yasmin did. It should help your anxiety, help your digestion issues and maybe knock your body back into the proper rhythm. I was before 100% Against anti depressents, but now I really do recommend it to you all who have been suffering for so long with no resolve. My regular Gastroenterologist recommended as well as my regular Dr. who normally does not like prescribing unnecessarily. He said that Prozac does seem to help a LOT of cases with minimal side effects.

So talk to your doctor and see what he/she says about Prozac. If you are like me and scared about side effects, don't be.. I started SLOWLY, by taking 10 mg. every OTHER day to start off. I had absolutely no side effects this way.

Well, I will continue to post and let everybody know about how Prozac is working, especially during my so called bad cycle.

Take care everybody!

Hi there, just found this site THANK GOD thoght i was going loony, doctors told me it was ANXIETS, STRESS ETC but life was the same, heart rate was so fast and i was feeling so panicked, thanks girls i have thrown the [acket away. Lets hope i return to normal soon....ps was on yasmin for 2 yrs and then went off for 2 mths and had mirena installed but that me me feel so sick now back on yasmin this panic is out of control,

My 13 yr old daughter has been on singulair since she was 8. 5mg dose. She is moody but I thought it was just pre teen girl stuff..she has complained of leg cramps..but she dances ballet and hip hop so I thoght she had muscle tension..she has abdominal cramping often and missing about 1 day of school per month due to feelings of naseau/headache..I just started telling her to take singulair every 2nd night..to see if it still keeps her astma at bay. She only uses her ventolin when running heavily in gym or is she has a very bad cold. It has been very interesting to read about al these side effects..I may request a different treatment,even though this one has successful kept her asthma under control.

I am so thankful to all of you who have posted your experiences on this website. I thoght I was going crazy!!! It seemed as if my health took a sudden turn for the worse for no apparent reason. Although I told them that I was taking it, none of the doctors that I have been to have even suggested that Yasmin could be to blame. I have had chest pains and heart palpatations so bad that I had to see a cardiologist and get a stress test. I have been to an eye doctor because I temporarily lost a spot of vision in one of my eyes (floaters). I have also had migraine headaches with no prior history and blurred vision. The worst thing by far has been the anxiety attacks, nervousness, and difficulty concentrating. I am now having gall bladder symptoms ( gas, cramps in upper right side, light colored stool, etc.). This has all happened in the course of two months, the amount of time I have been taking Yasmin. I am not starting my third pack and I am afraid to try birth control pills again.
