I took provera medication for 10 days for my frequent perionds. I really had bad side effects. I couldn't eat, sleep, anxiety, irrational thoughts, even scared of the devil. I am a very religious person. I prayed all the time to over come it. Then I went to the doc again and told them about my side effects of provera. They gave me Zoloft and Xanax. Now I am depressed, Still have irrational thoughts, not in the mood to do anything, irritable, agitated, disliking people. I am getting married soon to a wonderful man but sometimes I don't feel like seeing him and dislike him too. But I love him to death. I will give him my life. When I talk to him on the phone I am very loving towards him. I was never depressed or had anxiety in the past. It all started 2 weeks ago after taking provera. My fience is very patient & he sensed that I was sad. He told me all he wants from me is to get better. Is it a sin to have irrational thoughts? Mom said no. But why do I feel sad & guilty?

I am going to the doc again this week. I want to get better for my wedding. Everyone in my family likes my fiance exept my sis who only met him twice. She told me acouple of months ago that she didn't want to hurt my feelings but she didn't like him. 3 weeks ago when I spoke to her she still tried to find fault with him. I regret telling her things about him when I first started dating him. I have matured since and I don't argue with him anymore. We are very religious and I am happy to be with him. I was so energetic, bubbly and happy 3 weeks ago. Now I am gloomy. Do you think my sister trigered my anxiety or is it the combination of both? My sister is generaly a distructive person. I regret trusting her and telling her things.

you know what its not your fault and also probably you don't need medication. Its just your mind saying that you need pills and all that if you put your mind to it you won't need pills. Also, you can make a goal to try to get those thought out of your mind. Every time you think about this just read or watch a movie Something that will help you to get your mind of it!! Good luck.

Although the drug company wont admit it, ever since it was released to the public in 1982, women have commited suicide after using Provera. And stopping using it does not help. The problem is that the drug is actually a highly addictive narcotic with effects 100 times stronger than that of cocaine. Very much similar to ritalin that they use for kids - but that is only 10 times stronger than cocaine.
The secondary problem is, the took you off a highly addictive drug and then put you on Zoloft and Xanax, which are both much less addictive, BUT are even stronger psycosis medications, amplifying the depression feelings even more.
What you need to do is find a doctor that is not going to treat you with just drugs and say "here try this new drug". You need someone to help cure you with your problem and need to get off all of these drugs altogether before you feel like you are going insane.

The Provera sounds really bad. Hormonal meds are known for unhappy side effects for some people. A different one might work, but a good doc might recommend that you stop for a while before taking another hormonal. (Like above, a different doctor/GYN is a good idea! Do you have a real psychiatrist? Recommended by a doctor that you trust?) For a little while, you might still need to stay on one or two of the mood medications or switch. Make sure the doc gives you enough time to describe all of your feelings AND thoughts. I think a good doctor will have you feeling better pretty soon!

Well hopefully your 1st problem was fixed with the original application of meds. If not tell the doctor you want a cure,not an endless regimen of meds. Finally, It sounds like you need to cleanse your body, Umm " Lifeforce" by McCombs is a great book about cleansing your body. As for the sin, I Think the only sin that applies to thought is the one about fornication with another. After you finish the above business you should focus on a good healthy diet. Maybe that was the problem to begin with.

you should try going for a long walk even if you don't feel up to it then try to jog so it will up your serotonin's and I'm sorry I wish I could help you more I have that same problems on meds I feel like they make me worse but maybe you could try that or maybe you need a vacation I was really down then I went on a trip it really helped and also when I was on some meds I had really weird thoughts also I think maybe its your inner feelings or worries but no its not a sin and if you could help it you wouldn't choose to think those kinds of things good luck Hun

Feeling sad and guilty is just one of the symptoms. Maybe deeper therapy is needed.
