Contipation symptoms and conditions

I've been on Yasmin for almost 3 years and have had no bad experiences except for a little constipation that cannot be cured by an apple a day. Prior to yasmin I tried Ortho Tri-Cyclen and Ortho-Low which both made me gain weight and become moody. I also tried the patch that made me gain a lot more weight and become extremely moody! tried the NuvaRing, and they you cannot feel it but I could and also felt really moody on it but couldn't tell with the weight since I had gained so much on the other stuff. My friend recommended Yasmin to me and since then I have loved it. You can't be on oral contraceptives and live a lazy lifestyle. You've got to be healthy and active. Exercise increases positive endorphines that will help you keep a healthy mood. When I went on Yasmin I lost 40 pounds of the weight that I gained from the other stuff. In addition some little acne I had cleared up. I have not experienced moodiness on Yasmin but again I eat healthy and exercise A LOT which I think helps tremendously.

My doctor did have me try taking "yaz" for 2 months and please DO NOT confuse the two. Yaz was completely horrible for me and my period became wacky. My OB explained that all women have hormonal changes throughout their whole life and that Yasmin may not be right for me forever but right now it seems to be the best choice. She said all women are different and some may experience it horribly.

So those of you reading all the negative posts below - please do not be scared of by it because you do not know what is good for your body by the basis of someone else experience.

If you do research on Yasmin as with any other drug you can see that there are something that you need to consider when deciding to go on this drug. Yasmin is also different because it uses potassium.

I was given sulfameth/trimetoprim for and ear infection and the first dose made my tongue feel like it was swelling up,then I noticed my hands and feet were very cold,and I felt light headed,dizzy and my throat felt like it was swelling up or like i had a lump in my throat .By the time i got to my fifth pill i could not sleep,i could feel my heart beating in my back and when i took a sip of water it felt just like my thorat had a massive lumpin it. At that point i called my doctor and they said that i definitly had an allergic reation to the medicine.Now the doctor is going to switch my medicine but i am still feeling bad and am afraid to trust them with my health.These same doctors used to treat my 19 year old son for contipation,anxiety and as they put it "girlfriend trouble" which was actually insomnia but he ended up being diagnosed with stage four colon cancer and passed away fourteen months later.stay away from this medicine and always ask questions and keep a log of your doctors and treatments.
