Excess weight gain symptoms and conditions

I have been on Tri-Sprintec for 7 years. Over this last year I have noticed my body either skips a month for my period, or I have two periods in 1 month. This month I happened to have two periods in one month and a period starting at different times. Spotting has accrued the last week, and last night at 2 am I woke up crying in pain. I am feeling really depressed, and seem to want to be alone as well. I feel cranky, overwhelmed, my head hurts and my overies. My sister was diagnosed with cysts, and I am wondering if I shouldn't be taking this anymore. A couple of times also in the morning I've headed toward the shower and about blacked out, running back to bed. Is this normal? These side effects have started this year and I have been on it for 7 years? My skin seems normal knowing I also have hypothyroidism. Should I take something else, I have been missing a lot of work, and my doctor doesn't really think nothing is wrong other than taking it some nights at different times. My boobs always feel like they are going to fall off, but better yet I also feel I have gained a lot of weight with it. Going from 110 pound to 140 pounds. Should I be taking something different? If I am off the pill, which I have been my cramps are so horrible, like knives jabbing my insides. I have been crying a lot out of no where, when nothing is that bad, other than whooping doctor bills. Stressed out, and probably on the verge of losing my job over not getting the right help from the right doctor. What do I do? lost of appetite, or some months large appetites, weight gain, weight loss, depressed, angry, mood swings, more than one period in 1 month.

I am 22 years old, have been on Yasmin for two months now, it is my first time taking birth control pills except for taking the morning after pill once, and so far, so good-- I think. The only things that really bother me about this pill are my period comes every 3 weeks--every 21 days--instead of once a month like it used to--and what bothers me the most is this disgusting brown discharge that I've been getting lately. I also experience knee pain, but did not think that could be connected to Yasmin until I read the other comments, and I experience some abdominal cramping (minor) but am not sure if this is caused by the Yasmin. I have not gained any weight, which disappoints me because I am too skinny and that is the way I am built naturally. I do sweat more than I used to ever since I started taking Yasmin, and the sweating is probably a side effect. I also cry more easily than I used to and feel less able to control my emotions. However, I am also on Seroqel--a psychiatric/ mood stabalizer medication--just a small amount--but some of these side effects could be from that or from a combination of the Yasmin and Seroquil and perhaps how they react to each other. Does anyone know by any chance any drug interactions between Yasmin and Seroquil? Also, if I were going to get bad side effects from Yasmin like some of you report--hair loss, excess weight gain, acne, etc.--since I've been on it for two months, would I have gotten it by now and does that indicate I'll never get those side effects from it hopefully? Thanks.
