Bright blessings symptoms and conditions

Hello All,

I started Yasmin three months ago when my husband and I moved to Italy and boy has it been awful! You don't have to go to a doctor to get a prescription for many drugs, so I went to a pharmacy and asked one of the pharmacists what she would reccommend since a drug comparable to what I have been taking for the last ten years, Ortho Tricyclin, is not available here. She gave me Yasmin.

I have a heart condition and have always had heart palpatations, but never like this. Yesterday I bent over to pick up a book and thought I was having a heart attack. It was awful. About two months into taking the pill, I was doing a pilates video that I have done dozens of times before with no problems and fifteen minutes into it I had to sit down because I could barely breathe and my heart was beating so hard. Most every day I find myself thinking about breathing, having to purposfully take very deep breaths to make sure that I am actually getting oxygen.

Also, I have been experiencing major mood swings, depression and anxiety. I thought that it was due to the new enviroment, but now I am not so sure. This was the first month that I did not have at least one day where I was a total bitch. Anything anyone said pissed me off. I feel sorry for all of the folks that have been around me that past few months! Especially my wonderful husband who is always so supportive.

I can also mention headaches, massive neck and back tension, lower back pain, lethargy and insomnia.

I have four pills left in this pack and I am not so sure that I want to take them. I am glad that I was referred to an English speaking gyno here. I'll be seeing her soon.

I wish you all good health.
Bright Blessings.

I've been taking Zyprexa for 6 wks. Gained about 20 lbs. Also on Valium, Paxil for several yrs. Started Depakote 9 mos. ago so I figured that was reason for weight gain. Now after 6 weeks I have extremely swollen legs & feet. Mostly on right side which is weird if you ask me! I was pretty much knocked out at onset of taking RX but now I'm up till 2 a.m. putzing around. So why bother taking the Zyprexa I ask. Hmm, I called doc today re: swelling but of course, no response as yet. I don't know what my DX is; I believe it's Bipolar or Unipolar. Definitely not schizophrenia (per doc) but one never knows. I actually have had some ringing type sensation in left ear, too. My face is swollen, sore throat at times and it feelsl like my glands are as well. (when I look in the mirror I look like I have mumps - I'm 53 y/o so I doubt it!). My eyes are swollen too. Basically I'm foraging around the kitchen all the time. Day, night, in-between. Hard as I'm a vegan and I'm running out of veggies all the time. Considering d/c ing myself but afraid of seizures. Does anyone have any suggestions for me? Thanks and Bright Blessings to all.
