Trivial things symptoms and conditions

I first started on the generic form of celexa(10 mg once a day) a little over one year ago..it was because I was having some mild depression..I also in the past have had some anxiety/panic attack issues. When I first went on it..it kind of scared me because I felt like I was in a fog..felt like i couldn't respond to things in my normal way..However, i did feel like my energy level was better, wasn't flying off the handle the way i used to, my panic/anxiety seems less frequent. Good things to say. I recently decided, however, to come off of it..(under the direction of my Dr.) I just hate the thought of being on med's to help me cope..I have been having a horrible couple weeks since I have been off of it..back to some of my old behaviors..and worse! yelling at my husband and kids for trivial things..feel very angst and ready to tell someone off at any moment..it has been horrible..am hoping this gets better..I hate feeling like this!

I removed my Mirena 10 days ago. I've had it for a little over a year. Within one month of having the IUD inserted I broke out in eczema all over my body. I didn't make the connection until about three weeks ago. I have been to many doctors in the last year, primary care, dermatologists, allergy doctors in order to figure out why I suddenly have eczema. I will report back on my eczema since it has only been 10 days since removal. However I have noticed a huge change in my mood since removal. I would get so angry to the point of rage at my 3 children for the trivial things on a daily basis and now I feel like I am the most patient person. Also, my sex drive has skyrocketed...before I had no interest in sex. Do not use the Mirena it is not worth it.

Thank you very much for posting your experiences. My wife has the same adverse effects with nuvaring. We're gonna remove this thing asap. She has been so depressed and cry all the time for nothing since she started nuvaring. Her antidepressant are not working at all. Her sex drive has decreased substantially. She is getting panic attacks for trivial things. I am so pissed of with this worthless contraceptive. Somebody should file class action law suit against nuvaring.

Thanks friends for sharing yr experiences.

The only side effects I have noticed are moodiness and low iron levels. My mood changes constantly, and a Hallmark commercial is enough to make me cry. I don't feel depressed, and most of the time I am fine. My fiance and I get into arguments all the time over trivial things, and until now, I didn't want to blame it on hormones, but after reading others' posts, I definitely think Yasmin is the cause for it. I never used to be this sensitive over every little thing.

Regarding iron levels: Pre-Yasmin, my iron count was alway high. I regularly give blood, and had never had a problem until recently, and I have been told twice in the last few months that my iron count is too low to donate. I thought that it was because I wasn't getting enough iron-rich foods, and have even taked iron supplements occasionally to help with fatigue (I can't go to late movies anymore b/c I will fall asleep in the theater), but nothing seems to help.

I am getting married in May, and I am afraid if I go off of Yasmin now, it will mess with the regularity of my cycle, and I would rather not be on my period on my wedding day and on my honeymoon. I don't know if it would be better to wait it out (I have been planning on getting off birth control all together once we're married). Any advice?
