i WAS ONLY ON yAZ yASMINE FOR 3 WEEKS and 3 months later Iam still not well and yes all the doctors told me its in my head as well and put me on Xanax andLexapro.
I had to stop the Lexapro as it made it impossible to eat and I was getting sicker and sicker on it
I still cannot sleeep does anyone else have chronic insomnia Iam talking about I cant take naps cant sleep I have to take something to sleep or I cant period
Doesnt matter what time of day or night
If I dont take something I will lay there all night long
Last night till 230 and I gave in and took something
What is causing this??????
Dejay had it as well but now she can sleep but she is on Lexapro so Iam wondering if the Lexapro had the opposite effect with her and made her sleep again.
Please someone??

I am seriously considering getting BACK on the Yasmin... I only got off of it because I forgot to refill my prescription. (I don't take it for birth control, I take it to level out my hormones.) The side effects I had while on it were headaches, sinus infections, 7 day periods: stuff like that. My issues started AFTER I got off of it.
I've been off of Yasmin since Sept 22. I went one month without any other BC, then started Loestrin 1/20 FE. I just started my second week of it and I AM MISERABLE... I'm eating out of control, I'm weepy, angry, irritable, my boobs have grown at least a full cup size (and they hurt like HELL) and I have funky discharge!!!! I was just fine until I started mucking around with these pills!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm at a loss - I sincerely do not know what to do. I don't have insurance until Dec so I don't have a whole lot of options... Do I stay on Loestrin? Do I go back on Yasmin? Do I stop taking them altogether?!? How do I get back to feeling OKAY?????
Sorry. No one ever responds to my posts anyway and I just needed to rant. I don't know what to do. I have Bipolar disorder so having my hormones out of whack doesn't help...

Thanks so much flowerbabies for all of the wonderful advice. I will try to remember it and just enjoy life! It's hard sometimes when your head is just filled with worry. I actually am feeling okay now, so that's a start. How are you feeling? I hope everything is great with everyone! I am just so happy I got off Yasmin when I did- I can't imagine how I would be if I hadn't.

I went back on my old pill, Trivora, yesterday and I am feeling okay. I have had sex issues the past couple months while on Yasmin though. I have a boyfriend that I have been with for almost two years and I love him sooooo much. Well out of the blue I started to question my sexuality for some reason, since being on Yasmin. WHAT"S WRONG WITH ME? Has this happend to anyone else? I never questioned whether I liked boys or not until I went on this pill--- it is soooo wierd. I know I love my boyfriend, but lately I have just been feeling wierd sexually. Can anyone relate?
By the way I have found that Protein is soooo important when you are feeling panicky. Have a protein shake and you might feel better- I do.

I was prescribed this stuff for 10 days from memory. 40gm first 5 days then 20mg next 5 days. Took for 6 - 7 days and then stopped. This stuff had many of the side effects as already listed and was not curing the thing it was prescribed for which was a cough that just would not go away. I stopped taking it as I was feeling terrible on it. It left me feeling depressed and really messed me up unable to think clearly - diarreaha........ I think it completey mucked up my hormone system. It has taken me 3 -4 mths to start feeling okay again. I have been taking lots of vitamins - even took hormone replacement for a couple of months to try and help me. This stuff is crape and I would never never ever ever take it again.
