Gained weight symptoms and conditions

I've been on Femcon FE for three months and I've noticed a lot of changes which considering my pills are the only thing that I've changed I'm guessing after researching and reading some other comments are side effects. I'm nauseous every day or so, to the point where I worry more about being pregnant more recently than when I wasn't on any birth control. I get really horrible problems, and its getting worse, I've started having depressed and suicidal thoughts usually in the week before my period. The week before my period I cry for no reason and am extremely moody and irritable, during the rest of the month I'm ok. I've had ovarian cysts in the last three months. My breast have gotten almost 3 cups sizes bigger ( might think thats a plus but its not- In July/August '07 i was a 40 dd now I'm a 40 G). My breast are constantly achy, I think because they are growing. I've gained weight and have had stomach pains, I've seen my gyno who said they were cysts and I've seen my general doctor who couldn't find anything wrong. Before I was on NuvaRing which gave me horrible head aches and before that I was on ortho trycyclin lo- which made me nauseous and have break through bleeding every month. after reading that other people are having the same problems with Femcon that I am I'm thinking maybe I should stop taking them now and get on something else.

Trazodone was probably the most effective anti-depressant I was ever prescribed. Since I ceased taking Trazodone Hydrochloride I have gained weight. I'd been taking the anti-depressant for about 6 years; before Trazodone I was taking Seroxat and before that Prozac. I no longer take anti-depressants. I have been off Trazodone for 3 months now and I've seen a gradual rise in my weight and I am now about 6 kilos heavier than I was in August. I am a male of 52 years.

Hi there!
I have to say, I am so happy that I have found this website. I feel like I'm crazy!! I have been taking Yasmin for a little over a year or so and within the past two month I have noticed significant stress, anxiety, depression (which I have NEVER experienced in my life). Although, over the past year I have noticed I have been tired, overall low energy, and snappy for no reason. Really high strung. I never knew why.

I do have to ask though, those of you who have stopped taking, or switched from Yasmin...have you noticed a shift in mood for the better? Have you noticed a difference in depression? I am planning to make an appointment for my OB/GYN tomorrow to get off this pill. I just want some hope that things will indeed get better, you know??

Well, I thought that I was really enjoying the NR until yesterday, there was a Lawyer from NY in the hotel that I work with a women. They were discussing a case against the new stop smoking drug and he said something about the Nuva Ring. I tuned in to hear that he has had cases over the NR as well as the patch. I thought that my dizziness was just because I hadn't ate anything in a while. I haven't gained weight. I have actually went down a pant size but I am really lazy and I do like to sleep a lot more now. I get dizzy and head aches. Sometimes I get the burning sensations like I am breast feeding. I have horrible mood swings. I feel really bad because I am so mean to my husband and kids. I get cramps and back pain. and I have no sex drive. Yeast infections and discharge. I feel like you name it I have the symptoms. I thought that I was going to have to have my blood sugar levels because the dizziness is getting so bad! I am about to call my DR.
