December 19th symptoms and conditions

Thanks Tracy!

It began with depression, anxiety and insomnia. Abdominal pains and constipation followed. Then on December 19th the jitters started. I was driving (4 kids in the car) and I suddenly thought I was having a heart attack! There was this fluttery feeling in my chest and I felt dizzy, like I might faint. I was terrified. That was what led me to research Yasmin withdrawal online and was when I found this wonderful site. It was so comforting to read that other women had experienced the same symptoms (and hadn't had heart attacks!) The jitters got worse before they got better. The fluttery feeling spread to my arms and legs and I twitched in the night, plus I had restless legs. However that is now much improved. I suspect it may vary with my cycle though and may come back just after my next period (which was the timing on the last one.)

Hope that helps.

I have been on lipitor for 2 yrs. Finding that it has reduced my chol.from 238 to 144 is great. Now the side effects.
I itch all over, I am yellow -skin and my whites of my eyes.
My urine is almost brown and my stool is white. I found out that my liver is effective. I am not secreting protein from my body. If anyone needs to read anything , there is the time magazine from week of December 19th and the side effects
on Lipitor. My Dr. tells me no it is my liver but I am not a drinker or smoker and I am 58 yr. female and never to any drugs till Lipitor.
