Lupron can give you a horrible auto immune disorder. It did to me. I'm not kidding. Get off of it as soon as possible. You can email me for more info. This stuff is toxic and the FDA dropped the ball on approving it for use on us. I got terribly sick using this and I was so active and healthy before. I tried to sue them. Got bullied by their defense attorneys. I'm still sick. All the sickness was drug related. Trust me. Get off this drug. You are better off taking pain meds for any endo or whatever hurts than to put this in your body. Sorry to scare you. Be smart get off the stuff.

Hi tashbash7 18027
I saw three differnent OB's and 2 of them said no way the pill could cause this finally the last one said of course it could cause all your symptoms, what works for one person is hell for another. I know that not all doctors know everything there is to know about every medication. They get these fancy drug reps in their office bringing fancy gifts and telling them to use their new miracle drugs because they can do this and that. Some doctors only know what the reps tell them about the drug unless they do their own research(not likely) and even if they did do research on it, they are not going to find the symptoms we are all describing, because most of them are not in the packet insert info. which is about all the info. i found on the web about yasmin. Except that it is on the worst drug list because they say there is no reason to be taking it because the other bcp do what they are supposed to. I agree, if I had known that Yasmin had spirinolactone in it (its the ONLY bcp that does) I would not have taken it. If i had seen this website, i would not have taken it. Imagine how stupid i feel being a nurse and having this happen to me. I could just kick myself for not researching it first. I should know better, but I thought all bcp were basically the same. Our OB's dropped the ball too when they didnt explain the "difference" and possible additional side effects. But I feel they dont know about the side effects we are feeling because the drug is still too new. We are the experts girls, not the doctors, because we are the ones who have/are taking it. You cannot tell the guinea pigs what they are feeling is not real because the money hungry drug company who never ingested so much as one little white pill SAYS thats not a side effect! What you are feeling IS real. I experienced for the first time in my life what real depression feels like. The doctors?! The cold hard truth is that most of them either dont research, or more important LISTEN TO THEIR PATIENTS. WE are the experts, not them. Dont let them make you feel like you are crazy, because you are not. And the last OB I saw (a female) even told me that as well, that I am not crazy or imagining my symptoms, that the pill can cause all these symptoms, and that it will take a couple of cycles for everything to get back to normal, but that none of the changes should be permanent. I believe what makes one doctor evaluate different from another is experience with a particular drug, personality and the ability to think further than whats just in front of them (ie, it doesnt say it can do that so it cant), and just LISTENING which believe me, A LOT of doctors just do not have this skill. If the ones who told you no your crazy logged onto this site and read all of these similar complaints would they rethink their answer, would they even take the time, would they even care? FEW would and some would not thats the cold hard truth. I know my body just as you all know yours and you can feel when there is something wrong with it thats why I kept refusing the antidepressants they were trying to put me on. I noticed around about Jan. 14th that heavy black cloud sitting in my head lifted and I started to feel better emotionally, though I still have spells of depression but not nearly as heavy or lasting as long. Dont get me wrong if anti depressants are helping you that is great, I personally just didnt want to chance extra side effects on top of the million side effects i was already experiencing. The headaches have really disappeared for the most part as well but they were terrible. My skin is still changing every day its starting to get oily and pulmp again and my hair is falling out less and less. Its been 3 months off the Yasmin, things are getting better slowly. Sometimes it feels like one step forward two steps back, but just hang in there, it does get better. Write me. This website is good therapy.
