I'm soooo confused! I have just recently started feeling VERY depressed- when I fisrt got it put in, I was fine, no pms or anything. But I've now had it in for about a year and am thinking about having it taken out. My moods and my self confidence are very up and down. One moment I feel great and the next I want to scream and break things and cry. And I often do. I thought I was going mad, but having read these it all makes sense. I had been taking the pill and it made me depressed, so I got the copper coil put in. That caused me to have terrible periods, that were very painful and when I went to the family planning, the doc said that a mirena coil would be better for me and the hormones would not affect me, since the hormone is localised. But I have had bad acne on my face, chest and back and I had never had acne before. If the hormone is that localised, why is it causing the acne?! I keep thinking, maybe its just me being mental and its not the coil making me depressed. But I think thats just cos I feel a bit desperate- what the hell contraceptive can I use that wont make me depressed(no hormones)?? condoms are just rubbish. O and my sex-drive is currently non-existant and my relationship with my boyfriend is going down the drain due to that and the moods. My sex drive used to be healthy. My breasts have also shrunk but are painful. I luckily havent put on weight. I have really bad period pains, that feel like a 'snapping' feeling. If I ever had period pains before, they never felt that way. Its weird!
I don't know what to do. I will get it taken out-its not a financial concern for me since I live in Scotland. But it is stress to find something to stop getting pregnant!

I began using nuvaring a year ago and discontinued it about 5 months ago because of the incredible amount of yeast infections I got. Trouble is, it messed up my pH so much that I still have a yeast infection. Nothing works to remedy it. I take 4 yogurt supplements a day just to keep going. This has happened to everyone I know who has used this medication. I'm trying a new remedy that has worked for my friend--gynazole cream plus 2 weeks (at least) worth of boric acid suppositories. If that doesn't work I'll throw myself off a building. Stay away from Nuvaring and spread the word.

I was prescribed Lisinopril after being diagnosed with HBP. I had been taking HTCZ and feeling fine. The Lisinopril immediately made me feel lousy, and I developed a terrible cough - keeping me up at night, coughing to the point of throwing up. I thought it was my asthma and renewed my inhaler prescription. That didn't work in relieving the cough. Finally, I just got so tired and worn out from coughing all of the time, I stopped all of my medications and added them back one at a time to see if I could identify the culprit. As soon as I added the Lisinopril, the cough came back. I'm stopping it - it cannot be good for you to cough constantly, and throwing up made the blood vessels around my eyes burst - making me look like I had been punched in the face.
I have a month's supply that's going down the drain today.

oh I forgot to mention the extreme thirst! I also feel 'full' even though I haven't eaten and when I do eat it's even worse! It is very uncomfortable and makes me feel even more anxious. (It's lunch time and I'm terrified to eat.) I also have this feeling in the middle of my chest like there's air stuck in there so I try to burp for relief (That feeling makes me anxious too...) Good God this sucks! I broke down and got a packet of pills last night because I figured my symptoms were somehow related to being off of the Yasmin. (I was right!) I think I will ditch them and try to push through this - even though that's 50 bucks down the drain! I was off of bc pills for about four months or so but I have bad PMS and hoped that being on the pill would help. (They touted Yasmin as an answer to PMS!) The worst part is that I have Bipolar disorder, so I have to be very careful about what medications I take. I'm about to break down and call my doctor for some Klonopin because I feel like I'm going crazy and I need some relief!! (I'm at work right now, I have no clue how I'm even functioning..) I need to get some Slim fast shakes or something so I don't starve myself...

Sorry for two long posts, but I am so relieved to find this site. I wish there was something we could do: there are so many of us suffering and for what????

Hey Girls...
I posted a while back when I first got off yasmin. I have have been off it now for 2 months. I still haven't been able to lose weight, My Hair is even thinner, I cry every time I wash my hair b/c of the crazy amounts that I see go down the drain and even more when I brush it. My hair was soo thick and now, you can see my scalp from all sides..I'm only 21!!!!! I went to the doc and did some blood test, and everything seems fine except my liver, I don't drink like the average college student, so I know it can't be that, it must have been yasmin.
Does anybody have any advice for my hair??? I am desperate!!!! I started taking Biotin but my hair has only gotten worse! PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!

i have been on zoloft about 8 months, I tried weening myself off of them but then my head started again. I was put on them for stress and tension headaches. I hate the way I feel on them, fatigue, constantly dizzy, dis-oriented. I don't feel right. Sex- drive, down the drain. Latley, I've been having severe head pressure, waiting on appt w/ Neurologist again, went to orthodontist to see if it could possibly be my jaw. Do I sound crazy???????????please help me
