Thoughs symptoms and conditions

I have been on yaz for about 5 or 6 months now and it was great at first since coming off low estrine, I was havening serious side effects, but starting yaz it was awesome for the first few months now i have huge waves of nausea, constipation, back ache, some headaches, EXTREME mood swings, and depression*, bloating, my breast are always sore, i have gone up a cup size, my boyfriend cant stand to be around me! i have no drive any more, im just tired and my stomach hurts all the time i still have bad cramps, even though i have no acene any more and i have light periods all these problems are making me feel worried that i am pregnant all the time even though i take bc like i should i still don't trust bc so we still wear condoms, so i no that im not. i thought i had everything wrong with me,i have gone to several doc. but they found nothing i have IBS also so suposably my stomach was hurting from that. i know when my IBS has kicked in and thoughts pains were not it. but all these post i keep reading have really brought light to this pill. everyone i know thinks im going crazy and i know i am. i have never complained so much in my life about how bad i feel and its on a daily basis for me now! im going to stop at the end of this month hopefully ill feel ten times better then i have been. i want my old self back!!! im so glad i took the time to find out about my bc and its side effects and all the post i have read about this horrible pill. it feels great knowing im not the only one!

I'm a 19 year old girl that have sickle cell... now for treatment when I have a sickle cell attack.... I take morphine.. but the past week I have been in the hospital and I have been on a Morphine pump... I have been home for 3 days... And I keep having bad dreams, racing thoughts, and headaches... Now this is not the first time I have been on the PCA pump.... But this is the first time I have had these type of side effects.. I need help......

I'm glad to have found this website posting as tonight I decided it's time to do further research on Singulair and check the issues I'm experiencing. I've decided tonight that I'm going off so I can do some testing and rule out whether they are causing the following side effects for me:

I've been on Singulair for almost 6 months. When I first started, I had a heck of a time getting through the drowsiness but it got easier each day and gradually after a month, I stopped being so "spacey". I started Singulair primarily to address my asthma issues and the tightness in my chest and as an added bonus, it helps my allergies so I went off the Claritin as well. Singulair has done wonders for my asthma and I have rarely had to use my inhaler or have asthma attacks. (I should note, I wanted to eliminate steroids in my life since it causes acne etc. etc.)

Meanwhile, I've noticed changes in myself. I'm more lazy, take naps on the weekends, less hyper (which is a good thing on my stressful job) but I've lost my "edge" where I should be quick on my feet and responses. Recently, I've noticed that I'm slurring my words and having speech problems. I have got lost a couple times in my train of thoughs. I also seem to experience being dyslexia - I frequently type letters and numbers jumbo'd around. Very unlike me!

I also have severe dry mouth almost like an infection. I tend to get itchy around my neck and arms for no reason - almost like a mild form of nerves twitching simulation. I've got more sinus infections but that could also be due to not using Claritin and perhaps, I need to be on it at the same time.

I've cut back to 5mg (I cut my pills in half) for a few months and felt less tired but my speech and other side effects are still present. Heck, it could be a sign of aging or other things occuring but I need to start somewhere. I am sad that it could be Singulair because it's the best drug for my asthma but I have concerns about the other impacts it might have on my health and well being. I'll post updates in a few weeks.

Feel free to email me to talk about anything offline - I'm eager to hear from others!

I'm on day three. I've been on inhailers most of my life I'm 30 6'1 and 145 lbs. Good news and bad news on my report so far. I immediatly noticed that it made me spacey. I play a musical instrament as a hobby and I think it's a good solid judgement of change. More then anything my ability to think and due had somehow been offset. Thoughs didn't quite make it to my hands in time. I have heavy jitters, and my memory is lapsing. On the other hand I haven't felt like I had to use the inhailers at all, and it seems to be better when I'm around things that normally agravate me. I guess it's a trade off.... will report more later...

Hey like many of you i have been on Advair for a long time now i would say about two or three years. I too have had weight gain i mean like major weight gain. I use to be like 135 140 and now i am like 165 to 170. I asked my doctor about it and he also denied that the Advair caused it but i think i am going to talk to him aging after seeing this site. I am only 17 and i was looking forward the the fall homecomming dance but now i am so big i can not find a nice dress to go in. Also i have had suicide thoughs and anxiety attacks. with a long list of other things. i would just like to say thanks for letting me know whats up

Yesterday I took my fist capsule of Effexor. I was prescribed it by my doctor as I've been going through a lot of stress, issues with a dying mother, new job, etc. I was having chest pains (Far upper left, near shoulder) So I got some samples.

I took one, with food at about 10:30 AM, 2 hours later I started feeling like I was tweeking! Sketched out, jittery, cant focus, jumpy, headache. I'm like.. "THe cure is worse that the disease!" Didn't sleep at all last night, tremors, brain/thoughs spinning around in a tight buzzing circle. Today I feel like 100lbs of crushed buttholes.

I don't think I need to be taking this stuff. I'm sure the sympoms decrease over time, but I can't afford to be tweeking like this ona new job.
I thought this crap was supposed to REDUCE nervousness? WTF?

I'll be calling the doctor tommorow, but he can have this crap back.

I think I may have to go with my old standby: my weightbench, a nice beer afterwards and a long walk.

THoughts, experiences welcome...
