hi abs528.
i also had terrible panic attacks and constant anxiety as well as really scary thoughts and dreams, i thought i was crazy too (still might be have only been off yasmin for 9 days!) i'm not sure how long it takes for the panic attacks to go away, i think now you have had them you will have to learn a good technique to difuse them, i have to keep telling myself that they will not harm me even though they feel awful,try to distract your mind,i sing songs or count really quickly and the best but hardest piece of advice is to not be scared of them,if you are not scared then you will not react the way you do and the panic attacks will gradually go away. I promise you i know how it feels,i felt like i had gone insane,i took yasmin for 1.5 years and thought it was great but then after 6 months things started to get bad,i was diagnosed with panic disorder and given diazepam but that made me worse, i decided to face it head on and it has been working but it is hard and i have good and bad days,hopefully now i have stopped the yasmin it will ease up a bit,please post your progress on this site whether it be good or bad as it may help another poor soul who is going through the same thing. in the mean time get yourself some magnesium as a definciency in this mineral came make your symptoms worse also drink as much water as you can to detox your system. you should get your period in a few days and hopefully you will start to feel better. best wishes to you...and remember you are NOT crazy!

I started on Seroquel to control negative thoughts and eliminate recurring dreams.I find that since taking the drug for about a month I am experiencing an exaggeration of my emotions,hostilities and other negative thoughts.I am still having the recurring dreams and I find that the drug is interferring with my performance on the job.It is causing me to be somewhat confused and I get very frustrated and it is very noticible to others.It has caused me to be more paranoid and it exaggerates my negative feelings for others on the job.I don't like it and it scares me.I am going to take myself off of it tonight in hopes that the side effects will subside.I need my job and I can't go on feeling like this especially on the job.Also I have always had a fear of gaining weight and the stories that I have read here are enough to make me stop taking it and throw it down the toilet.

I thought I had a very adverse reaction to Singulair about 2 years ago. I had constant thoughts and dreams of loved ones and pets dying, anxiety and fear of things I had never had fears of like driving and heights. I had extreme stomach aches and shakes. I could not sleep at night. Eventually I stopped taking this and a couple other allergy medications. The physical symptoms started to wear off, but not a day goes by that I don't have a sense that life is finite and a little bit of anxiety kicks in. Each day gets better and better but it does leave a lasting effect. Now news comes out that Singulair may indeed be the culprit. On one hand I feel vindicated but on the other I feel a lot of anger. With all the other allergy meds out there, why not just take it off the market? If there is a law suit to get this drug off the market, count me in!
(stomach cramps, sleeplessness, depression, anxiety, bad dreams, shakes, constantly tired)
