Atopic symptoms and conditions

Dear Guest 43038,

Stop taking the Yasmin.

Itchy skin is a sign of an allergic reaction which many women have had to this pill and to Yaz.

If your period also hasn't stopped, it is due to the change in hormones (Yasmin has extremely low doses of artificial/synthetic hormones -as are birth control pills are not natural, and they suppress your own natural hormones. Not good that your period has not stopped. Again, another sign that you should stop taking the Yasmin.

The feeling down and moody again direct connection to the loss of iron having your period for 14 days, the extremely low hormones that have replaced your own natural hormones.

Leg cramps are also not good-and could be a risk for thrombosis (common report and risk of taking Yasmin as well as other bcp's-Yasmin has a higher risk of this-clotting).

You know what to do. Just listen to what your body is telling you. You don't need a doctor to let you know that. There are many risks associated with this pill-just see all the notes on this site in the forum and posted side effects. There is also another site-Yasmin Survivors (link posted throughout this site) with many women that will support your coming off of it.

My 3 year old daughter has been sick from day one. When she was born she had what they thought was colic. For 1 year. She also has eczema and rhinitis. At 18 months she had some peanut butter and wipe it on her face. She had this huge red mark where the peanut butter touched. So the began the allergy testing. She is now allergic to dairy, eggs and peanuts. But it is all mainly atopic. She breaks out in horrible itchy eczema sores. So they have given her Zyrtec and Singulair. She has been on it for about six months straight. And I think she has had Zyrtec for 3 years. Well she is, for lack of a better word, horrible. I never thought anything about it because she has always cried from day one. Now I am beside myself I dont know what to do with her. I am wondering if i should take her off these meds to see if she acts better. I have a son who is a joy to be around and she is not so much. I know she doesn't feel well. She doesn't look well. She looks so pale and sickly. Has anyone heard of mood swings or mental damage from these drugs?
