Hi everyone, I've been off Yaz for two weeks now and have had severe depression, emotional numbness, anxiety, muscle weakness, migraines, and on and on. The symptoms are actually getting worse in some ways since I went off the Yaz.
I'm hoping someone can tell me whether they've had any success in going on another birth control pill after Yasmin/Yaz in order to stabilize side-effects of depression and anxiety, which are what freaks me out the most. I've been off Yaz for two weeks now and if anything my side-effects have gotten worse. I'm seeing a doctor and trying to figure out what's going on, but in the meantime I am desperate to feel like myself again. I'd rather not go on anything else hormonal for the long-term, but I'm considering going back on an older, completely different prescription (Loestrin) which didn't cause me any psychological side-effects. One of my doctors says it should be fine, but the other doesn't want me to do it. Has anyone else felt an improvement in depression and anxiety from going onto a different pill prescription? Thanks for your help!!

Does any know have any answers to any of these:
1) how long the side effects of high sugar in blood last after you stop taking Prednisone,
2) is it a short term, long term or irreversible side effect and
3) what is the treatment?.
You can email me at ****** or post on this discussion forum
Thanks in advance....

Hi everyone,
Noticed the other day a posting which asked if there was anything we could all do about yasmin. Cant remember which poster, but thought you might be interested in my recent experience. If you log on to steadyhealth.com and enter the phrase "yasmin" under search, you will be directed to a discussion forum about different queries on yasmin. As a regular reader of steadyhealth.com i decided to answer one of the questions. I am listed under "fiona72". Click on the query "anyone tried yasmin" t57882. Read the answer given by carifairy". Further on in the forum this poster actually writes that she cannot take any form of hormonal method. Am now almost completely recovered from the terrible affects of yasmin, apart from the B12 deficiency. This according to "carifairy" cannot be caused by yasmin. I never had it before taking this drug. Best of luck to all of you still trying to recover. And thanks for all the honest reports. They really help.

I must say, I'm sure glad my friend found this discussion forum for me. I had severe contact dermatitis that had gotten infected. The doctor prescribed a topical steroid cream to me, as well as a 7 day supply of levaquin. I've noticed since I started taking levaquin last week, that I've been "jittery", and haven't been myself. I missed my pill yesterday, and felt even more strange than normal (withdrawl perhaps?) I took another pill this morning, and the shaking/slight light-headed-ness, and swelling are back. I'm taking myself off of levaquin starting immediately. Having only taken 5 500mg doses, will these effects wear off fairly quickly once I stop taking it? I don't have insurance, therefore I don't have any income right now (I work construction).
Thanks for anything.
Thomas

I am a 38 Yrs old and I took myself off Yaz 2 nights ago after being on it for 2 weeks. I still need to call the gyno and inform her. My personality completely changed, my moods terrible, snappy and extremely short fused, i think i'm officially banned from the dunkin donuts at the end of the street after yelling at them for screwing up my order-normally i'd let it go and just get it fixed, no patience whatsoever. I'd never been on birth control before, and I'll never go on it again after this experience. I didn't even want to be with myself. I can't believe my boyfriend didn't dump me after Sunday. The side effect i find odd and worrisome the most is, and I still have, pressure in my head and throat and tongue, it's dissipating as of today but started last Thursday (about a 1.5 weeks on the yaz). Has anyone else experience the head pressure?
