I had my 3rd child in July of 2008. I decided that I didn't want to do the pill because I got pregnant with my youngest daughter on the pill, my husband said I was a B***H on the NuvaRing and so the Mirena seemed sensible. Since then, I haven't had a normal period. I bleed 7-8 days and it's brown, nasty discharge. It may end for a few days and starts right back up again. I bled from Feb 12 till Mar 14. My Dr told me that it's rather normal because it's not heavy bleeding each time. I'm trying to decide what to do because it's very frustrating when I don't know from day to day what will happen. My husband says I'm very moody. I'm tired all the time and my sex drive is NON EXISTENT!!! Of course, I feel nasty all the time and I've noticed that I feel bloated all the time. After reading everyone's posts, I believe I'm gonna have it removed. Thanks everyone!!!

My beautiful 11 year old daughter was on Adderall XR 20 mg per day for 4 years. After about 2 years she started to develop some minor facial tics. After 3 years the facial tics were worse along with severe head shaking and she also started to develop trichotillomania (obsessive compulsive hair pulling). The hair pulling continued until she was almost bald. Her grades began to drop and she withdrew herself from her friends and family. Finally, we took her off the medication in October 2007 at age 12 and she immediately stopped the tics and hair pulling. We have found 3 other families whose daughters have developed these same symptoms after being on this medication for at least 2 years. We have filed a report with the FDA as our own doctor had no idea that this medication was causing the hair pulling. Now 5 months later her hair is growing and the tics are approximately 97% gone. We have taken her to a homeopathic doctor and she is doing absolutely great now. Marks have gone up and she is smiling and socializing. I am so happy we have our daughter back. The side effects of this drug was definitely not work it.

My 9 year old daughter has been on sigulair since she was 5. She just recently started having trouble with concentration and behavior. She is always sad and cries alot .She is an honor/gt student but just recently has been having trouble with her school work.She has also begun to hurt her brother and talks about how she wishes she was dead.We are really concerned and she began counseling. Her nuerologists says it could be depression but im thinking i should take her off singulair.She has had headaches,stomach pain,depression ,mood swings and weight gain.

I had my youngest daughter in May 2008 and had the Mirena inserted in August 2008. I have had a period every month (which is unusual for me, I usually get them every 2) but not heavy. They seem to be slowing down now though, about every 5 weeks. I don't have acne problems or weight gain problems (I will gain a pound or so right before my period but that seems to go away pretty quickly after my period) but I have had the sexual side effects. I have no sex drive and have trouble climaxing, which was not usually a problem before. And the mood swings...well, that's just not like me to yell at my kids and my husband but that's what's been happening. I sometimes feel like a different person. That part of it has gotten a little better since my daughter started sleeping better around February, but I still notice mood swings that weren't there before.
