Dictor symptoms and conditions

I have been on Yasmin for about 5 years. I loved it to begin with but just recently I have been having horrible side effects that i just realized could be related. I just thought i was a 21 yr old with problems. i am having heart palpitations, hair loss, insomnia, anxiety, vision problems, UTI's, lightheadedness and blackouts, and CHRONIC migraines. I am having about 3 migraines a week! they are disrupting my life. it is weird that i was fine on the meds for so long and they are just now resulting in this. I am stopping the pill as of today and i am going to talk to my doctor about other options. i am thinking about ortho tri cyclin lo. i have to be on a birth control because i have had endometriosis and my doctor said it is less possible to come back if i am on a birth control. she mentioned the shot but i have heard bad stories about that too and i don't think i want to go there.

I have been taking Lexapro for depression and Maxide for high blood pressure. I would get extremely anxious when I went to the doctor(White coat syndrome). Hence, the diagnosis of high blood pressure.Keep in mind that for all of my life my b/p was always low-usually 90-98/50-60. Being athletic,this was normal. After taking Maxide for a few months, I developed an itchy back. My dictor attributed this to dry skin. I have always had dry skin, but never a problem of this magnitude. As the months went on,I developed severe itching and rashes EVERYWHERE! This included my hands,feet,ears and scalp! I stopped taking the Lexapro as I felt that that was the culprit. The itching,of course remained,and without my antidepressant, I felt worse than awful. I scratched myself bloody at times and couldn't sleep because of the itching! Imagine being my family! After reading about Maxide and some of its side effects I decided to stop that instead. Results and relief were immediate. I had a little bit of swelling,but I just pushed fliuds and stayed active. Funny thing is, at home my blood pressure is fine and back to normal. I am not saying to try this without your physician's advice. This is just my experience.

what are the side affects if your dictor feels your level is a litlle on the high side from taking this medicine? i will be having it re-checked in 3 weeks
