Hi, I've been really sick with asthma/bronchitis for ove 3 weeks now.
I also have clinical depression (13+ years) for which I am currently tkaing Prozac and
Klonopin. A month ago I was diagnosed with an Ovarian Cyst a little larger than a golf ball
and a Fallopian Tube full of fluid. For this I am taking Levlen, birth control pills to try
to shrink it and hopefully go away by itself. I am in a lot of pain from this cyst.Last week my Doctor hospitalized me for the asthma problems that were getting worse in spite of
many meds prescribed to treat this. While in the hospital I started receiving I.V. antibiotics & Prednisone
instead of what I'd been taking by mouth. Since then I am wanting to "climb the wall". My
mind is racing and I've been unable to sleep. I finally called my Psychiatrist who told me
that the "stew" of meds that I am taking is causing me to have severe Psychosis, but as he says...sometimes
Pychosis is preferable to not being able to breathe. I'm beginning to have my doubts about that one!My question is: Does anyone know if the Birth Control pill could be giving me a rare side effect which is
causing my Asthma to flare up?Any answers are appreciated,
