Dissapointed symptoms and conditions

Hi all am back had it removed today give up after 11 weeks, absolutely painless and easy getting it removed, its like a big weight of my mind, i suppose i was just one of the unlucky ones that my body rejected it, pains all the time and spotting 9 out of 11 weeks,pelvic pains and cramps, gained 9 pounds in weight and very very bloated, but no acne or hair falling out. what a relieve, Bit disappointed though really wanted it to work :-(

I have read most of the postings on Yasmin but I haven't seen one where women pointed out experiencing terrible amounts of clots and incredible amounts of actual mensing... So it makes me wonder if I have another underlying condition? I have been taking Yasmin for about18 days now, started on my first day of mensing, and 18 days later, still mensing like there is no tomorrow and passing clots the size of the palm of my hands at times!!! It's unreal! And I went and bought 3 packages, I wanted to finish one and see but I think it's all gonna go to garbage now!! And to say I use to have a 30 day cycle with 2 days of pre-spotting followed by 3 days of actual mensing... some clots but not half as big and certainly not as many!!! Very disappointed with Yasmin. I am done with it.

Thank you Ladies! I was up in the middle of the night last night researching YAZ because I thought I was going to have a heart attack. I woke up shaky, heart racing, sweating. It just wouldn't go away. Almost got my daughter and husband up to take me to ER. Then I read all the entries in this blog and was convinced it was the BCP. I got into see a doc in the am. She wasn't my normal doctor, so all I wanted was an overall check. She did EKG, blood and just an overall check -Normal. However, I did have a high pulse. That fluctuates throughout the day anyway, but again it was fast even at rest into the next day. I asked her if YAZ was the cause for this and she said probably not because I was only on it for 1 week. I had switched from being on OrthoTriCyclen. I switched because of depression, long periods, bloating, cramping... I might as well had been on no BCP than OTC. The strange thing was I had been on OTC for 5 years prior to having my first child (3 years ago) and loved it! Which makes me think your body chemistry is always changing. Anyway, my first week on Yaz was MISERABLE! I had constipation, dry mouth, exessive urnation, deydrated eventhough drinking 8 glasses of H2O a day, shaky muscles, muscle fatigue, muscle cramping, low libido, sweating, hot at night, loss of appetite, feeling cloudy in the head- like I hadn't slept for a couple of days, but not tired and then finally the heart issue. I went off of it and I slept like a champ last night. I think I still must have some residual hormones in my body but am convinced it will go away in the next week or so. I wanted to mention at the doc's office when I asked her about the potassium increase that could happen with YAZ, she had no idea that was a side effect. So, she wanted to find out more and had a little book, like a mini phone book, full of all the drugs and their side effects. She got to the page and was astounded by the number of side effects for a BCP. It took up a whole page of the book. She told me she had not seen so many side effects for a BCP ever! I got my potassium checked and it turned out fine. But, if you do have muscle issues go get that checked, b/c potassium is a big component to muscle health. What is odd is sister is on YASMIN and loves it! as well as many of her friends. She told me I would have really sore breasts the first couple of months, but that was about it.

I'm a new Yas user, and I must say I'm terribly dissapointed with it. I have broken out HORRIBLY(i used to be on Ortho-Tri for 5yrs no break outs). I got acne badly when i was 13-14 years old, and it calmed down until about 17(when i started ortho). I'm now 24 and have the worst acne I've ever had in my life.

I've only taken this for 3 weeks, every day, but I've gained almost 10lbs, i've had fatigue, contstant spotting and cramping, and the acne. The rest of my 3 months supply is being tossed in the trash.

I am so glad I found this site. I just go finished crying about my lack of sex drive with my BF. He is very dissapointed and I tyring to ensure him that it is this darn Apri. I have been on the pill for a little less than a year. I have NO sexdrive what so ever and come to think of it, I really can sympathize with the mood swings. I just don't feel like myself. I need to get me a OB/GYN appt. pronto. I tried to stop taking the pill but my period was so heavy I had to get back on.

I began taking Advair about 2 weeks ago. Approximately
1 week after starting Advair, I began to have leg and thigh cramps that awakened me during the night. (worse than I had ever had before in my life and I'm 40 something.) It got progressively worse and spread to my arms and legs. I finally had to stop taking it after an "episode" 6 days ago. My legs, thighs, arms and hands began to cramp and spasm all at once! My husband assisted me into a tub of hot water to help calm my muscles down.

Per Dr.'s instructions, I have not taken it since. The side effects have slowly began to deminish. I continued to have cramps during the night for about 4 days, my muscles were very sore and achy as though I had been working out really hard. Now they are still a little sore and they feel very tired and fatigued. However I am getting better day by day. I have been instructed to go back to using my previous preventive inhaler.

I also gained 6 pounds, but that could have been from the prednisone that I am taking.

I would like to say that the Advair did help to improve my asthma symptoms. I'm dissapointed that I had to discontinue using it.

THANK YOU< THANK YOU to all who have posted to this site! Found it accidentaly while looking for causes for severe panic attacks that I had been having for about 1 1/2 years. Been on yasmin for about 4. Had alot of stressful things happen in the last 4 four years, husband lost job, family illness's, friends childs death, went back to work and 3 three active kids. Just blamed symptoms on all this. Last year things have been great on the stress level the though panic attacks seemed to get worse. Thought I was losing my mind! Went for all kinds of tests with gyno, all came back normal. Was almost dissapointed that I wasn't sick in some way. They asked me why I was so concerned, told them about panic attacks and never once said it could be the pill. Said I should learn how to just stop thinking and relax. Why aren't they telling us about this. It's almost criminal. I plan to show my gyno this web site next time I go. Went off yasmin as soon as I saw this site last tues. Already the heart palps have stopped. AMAZING! I can't tell everybody how much I appreciate your honesty about this situation. Your comments have made me realize I'm not nuts! Looking forward to a normal life again thanks to you all.

Hi, I'm 21, and I'm going to get my 6th and final Lupron shot this Friday. I can't believe how much I have in common with all of you who have posted your side effects. I had a laporoscopy in May, and after that my back pain became incredibly worse, and has not gotten any better. I'm tired all the time, completely exhausted, yet I can't sleep at night. When I finally fall asleep (between 1 and 3am) I wake up constantly. But I can't fall asleep during the day. My ankles, knees, hips, shoulders, elbows, and wrists all hurt so bad. I have to lay on my back to sleep. I have constant headaches and migraines, sometimes they last up to 3 or 4 days. And they only go away temporarily when I take pain killers for it. My vision got wierd too, kind of blurry, and my eyes hurt, so I had an eye exam and it turned out fine, which I don't understand. I can barely function, even doing simple chores around the house can be difficult sometimes. I just don't feel like myself anymore. I feel disconnected, not like I'm depressed, although I feel that way every now and then, I just don't feel one way or the other about most things. I guess I just kind of feel "blah." The worst thing is, is that my back pain has not gotten any better, and the endo pain is only relieved a little bit. Sex is still painful, just not as excruciating as before the lap and Lupron. I took my Dr's word that the Lupron would help, but I've only been dissapointed so far, and I'm almost finished with the treatment. I basically followed through with the 6 month treatment just so that I could say I tried it. And if it doesn't help, than I'm definately not doing it again, and I would not recommend it to anyone else for that matter. It has definately changed my life, only adding to the pain and problems I had in the first place. I'm pretty certain that my endo problems will come back in full force when I finish the Lupron, and I don't even know where to go next. Maybe another, more aggressive surgery? For now, I guess I just have to wait it out, and only time will tell.

Hi Ladies

I am now Yasmin-free for three days after taking this poison for four years. I have had so many side effects in the past years and had no idea I was taking something daily that was making me miserable. I developed acid reflux, heart palpitations, panic attacks, exteme mood swings, increase in migraines, fatigue and total lack of sex drive. I am lucky to have a very patient and understanding husband. My personality has changed 100% and I am tired of being sick! If I wasn't for finding this website several days ago, God knows how long I would have continued.

In the past three days I have suffered with menstrual cramps, very sore breasts, clumps of hair loss and a migraine so far, BUT my sex drive has SOARED and I cannot believe it. I hope and pray the withdrawl symptoms will subside.

I am rather dissapointed with my OBGYN office. I called my OB to advise her I had stopped this pill and of course could not talk to her, so I had to speak to a nurse. The nurse totally dismissed my side effects and said she could not possibly believe it was the Yasmin. She demanded to know where I was receiving this information. I told her I received it first hand from women on this website. She giggled and said she had not heard such a thing and said I had to come in to be changed to another pill..... No thanks, no more hormones for me. I will just need to think of another alternative.

Good luck to all of you :)

well about eight months ago i got into a horrible atv accident were i slammed into a barbed wire fence and split my neck from ear to ear, amazingly my arterie was exactly the thickness of a paper from being touched by the wire, im only fifteen and ive gone through more than others. anyway roxicet was a drug given to me two weeks after continously taking morphen and dermatril. when they started giving me it for the first time i was pretty dissapointed beause i thought it wasn't going to take the pain like morphene, apparently i was wrong. although not as strong it gave me an extremly happy feeling inside like everything would be alright, i swear i could go up two anyone and say i love you because it made me feel so good. when i got a 500 ml bottle of it to take home i would take it and just stay in bed for four hours thinking about anything that came to my head, my entire body would just cool down and id feel so so so relaxed. if you never tried it at least you got a description of it
