From the bottom of my heart symptoms and conditions

UPDATE - 4 MONTHS POST YASMIN TODAY//////

Lisa here,

ok on yasmin i had all the side effects all of you listed, went to er 3 times thought i was having a heart attack, bad bad anxiety, severe depression.
went off yasmin first two months were HORRENDOUS...then on month 3 i posted on this website IS IT GONNA GET BETTER and silke replied it would ( man i had my doubts) I am a mum of three kids and i struggles each and every day and had to go on, thought i was going to die and every turn the fear factor was horrible.
Now 4 months on i feel like me again ( almost)BP has returned to normal after a long 4 month battle and i am coping so much better, the anxiety and heart racing just comes and goes now rather than all the time and i feel great. I have even began my own business something 4 months ago iwas asking could i even work.
to all the have stayed with me SILKE, CHRISSY I THANKYOU from the bottom of my heart. Its still a battle but i know i am going to get there but i could not have done this without you all.
To those just getting off yasmin youre gonna get there, i was so bad with the side effects i thought i was going to die and look at me now. DOnt get me wrong its not prefect but i feel like im living and 4months ago i felt like dying.
Stay strong and keep posting , we can all help each other

Love lIsa

Dear Chrissy and Silke,
thanks so much for replying, will try to take on board all your advice i appreciate it sooo much and from the bottom of my heart a BIG THANK YOU for being there. strange isnt it how two women on an internet site can be more supportive than all the doctors in the world and cannot link these side effects together.
Have a great new year
2 mths off yasmin today and heres to a better 2006
Ps. Chrissy i live in adelaide

I am amazed at what i am reading , I have been taking lipitor for 5 years and i have noticed leg/joint pain increasing each year that goes by. I just was takuen off of it by my dr for 2 weeks, at first my leg felt better, but now it is killing me, this is my left one in particuliar. I also have the same symtoms in my fingers and elbows and armpit area. I walk with a limp, and it feels like my knee is out of joint?? I am praying my knee will come back, and plan on going to the doctors tomorrow. I know in my heart that it is this lipitor that i have been taking and am so happy that i found this web site. thankyou all from the bottom of my heart, and good luck to all who suffer thses same symtoms.

First I want to personally thank every single one of you from the bottom of my heart.

I have been on Yasmin for over a year now. I think maybe 2 years. Well I loved the fact I didn't gain any weight at the beginning. Well I have been the biggest b*tch you could ever met. I have had this horrible yeast/bacterial infection since I began Yasmin. I hated everyone, I would stay in my room and sleep everyday if I could, I no longer wanted to have sexual relations with my fiancée, and I just hated my self. I thought I was major depressed but my mom said its something that everyone in college goes through. Now after reading this board I have realized that all this crap is because of my medicine. I have thought I was crazy. I did horrible in high school because all I would do is sleep. I always felt hungry no matter how much I ate. Thank you so much. You are ALL God sent. Thank you all. I go to my OB/GYN Monday for the yeast infections. The first thing I will tell her is I want OFF of yasmin and on to something new.

If anyone has a suggestion of what I could change to please don't hesitate to email me. THANK YOU SO MUCH. I cant thank you enough. You have made me realize I am NOT crazy.
