i have been on Lisinopril for a few weeks. don't really have any of the side effects people spoke of (lucky i guess), but have noticed itchy, swelling eyes righ around the lash line. i have changed all cosmetics, creams, soaps, etc. finally thought maybe this may be a side effect. anyone else have this?

I have just gone back onto Yasmin after an absolutely horrifying experience trying to come off it.
I have taken Yasmin for 3 years with minimal problems. My skin was fantastic - never a blemish. I actually LOST weight while on it and went up a up a breast cup size. I got lighter periods which was a godsend. I did get a few problems though - gas and stomach bloating as well as headaches sometimes shortly after taking it and occasionally break-through bleeding. But for me the pros outweighed the cons.
I came off it recently as I'm no longer in a long term relatonship and it was just awfull. My skin broke out, I got very oily hair and skin and felt like I was going through puberty again. The worst problem was that in just 3 weeks I blew up like a baloon. I literally stacked on weight every day and my family all made suggestive comments like "been enjoying the cake lately?" I was so angry since I'm such a healthy eater and excersize every single day!!!!! I have never had a problem wth my weight before and the only change I made in my lifestyle was coming of Yasmin. I was so upset with my appearance I have actually gone back on the Yasmin. However its ridiculus to stay on it for beauty's sake.
Has anyone ever experiecend this before??? If so what did you do????
