I've been taking remeron for about 3 months and I have gained 15-20lbs. It increased my appetite especially at night. I would have an intense cravings for sweets, and it seemed like I never would get full. I hate this, everyone keeps asking me why am I gaining so much weight. I tell them its the remeron, and they all think I should just stop taking it, but it's not that simple. I've been struggling w/ extreme insomnia and depression for 2 years, with little or no relief from many other meds. It helps me sleep most of the time, but I don't know if it's really helping my deppresion. I'm going to speak w/ my doc about trying something else because I can't stop gaing weight, and that makes me even more depressed.

Hello everyone,
I wanted to post my side effects and have questions.
I did nothing differently with my eating habits or exersize regimen:
Extreme weight loss in the begining of taking YASMIN
I didn't complain about that at first, but I started losing too much
weight.
The extreme weight loss effect went away about after 1 1/2 year and now
I have maintained pretty normal weight for myself.
It has not made me gain any weight, which I am happy about.
I had been on Ortho tri Cyclen and it made me gain 35 pounds in under
one year!!!!! I was getting pretty heavy. I eat very healthy and am
active. Must be why my doc presricbed YASMIN, she said it ha oppisite
effect, and I really did notice this effect.
Also, BAD BAD depression with Ortho tri cyclen.
Yasmin makes me:
feel like crying for no reason and irritable
ZERO ZERO sex drive
headaches! - which I never used to get.
seldom eye twiching.
I actually feel better on the " 7 day placebo pills" while I am on my
period.
This is the only time I feel sexy and aroused, and in a better mood.
This tells me something.
I have been on YASMIN for about 2 years.
i have told my OBGYN of the sex drive problem and she said that all
pills will do the same thing. She said prescribing me another BCP would
make no difference what so ever.
I also felt deppresion with YASMIN in the begining and saw my OBGYN
about it and she said to give more time for my body to adjust to YASMIN,
it did get better, but I still have these outburts or crying, anger
irritable... that is not normal, I feel so sensitive.
Has anyone tried Ortho Evra, the patch?????
I can not tolerate zero sex drive any longer.
Is there a pill that won't do this to me???????
Can any one reccomend a pill that they have been happy with??????????
I know it's hard to say because I guess every pill effects every women
different.
Please help with any suggestions
Sick and tired of Yasmin

Does anyone have any thoughts on after stopping the nuvaring. I was only on it for 2 months but the extreme moods and depression made me stop and never look back. Its been 6 months since I stopped, I have not used any birth control since. My hair started falling out when I was on it, but it never stopped and is now getting worse. I am not feeling well and seem to have all the symptoms of hypothyroidism, I just had a blood test today and am waiting on the results. I am 25 yrs old and otherwise healthy besides this. I feel like all my symptoms, physical and emotional started with the nuvaring, I am wondering if anyone else has developed hypothyroidism after being on and stopping the nuvaring???
