I'm so relieved I found this site! I've been on Quasense for TWELVE DAYS and I am in a living hell, I feel like a prisoner in my own mind. Ever since I started taking these pills my mood has plummeted. So severely I had to see a psychiatrist! I am not generally a sad person, so when I realized I was constantly depressed for a week straight, I thought of what had changed just recently, and what do you know? This is the pill from hell. Today is the day I decided to just stop taking them all together.

It is amazing how some drugs are just perfect for some and a nightmare for others. I was having panic attacks and my doctor put me on Zoloft. I felt just like you did. I became severly depressed and quit eating. I lost 30 pounds in a month. Finally someone got me on aprazolam and I was a new person in 48 hours. I also take mirtazapine for depression. They have been life savers. Talk to your doctor. I have other meds that are driving me crazy too. I hate this madness of trying pill after pill and the awful side effects, but if your health is at stake, we both need to try something else. I am borderline high for blood pressure, and the meds are making me feel terrible. But how dangerous is it for me to not get my blood pressure down? The side effects make me feel like I am 90 years old. I hurt everywhere. Good luck finding something that works for you. We are in a very big club.

My doctor suggested antidepressants, but I figured pumping more drugs into my system won't really solve anything. And I too have lost my appetite. I even go to the gym, lately just so I can build up an appetite, but I'm still not hungry. I only eat cuz I know if I don't then that'll wreak havoc on my body even more. I went to the doctors this morning and usually my blood pressure is 120/60, but it was at 144/80. I have just decided to take a break from all medication and let my body come back down to equilibrium.

I too had similar symptoms from taking Quasense and decided to take myself off the medication without consulting my doctor. I have been off this medication for a little over 3 weeks now and still have not had relief from my symptoms. I was just curious to know about how long you found it to take to feel normal again and have a period. I think that I might actually feel better once my body start to regulate itself. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you. Seeking hope and answers
