Hello,
I read about how YAZ birth control pill affects the body and psych and I am now scared. This is my 2nd day of YAZ (I've never been on birth control pills ever and I am 27 years old), it's all new to me but after reading all these negative posts about Yaz I don't know what to do. Before the birth control pills, I was depressed, annoying, serious weight problems - 210 lbs :~~((, low energy, low libido, always tired, terrible migraines every 2nd day, ridiculously increased appetite and excessive hunger, hair where it shouldn't be, menstrual blood clots, excessive cramping etc
I have all these problems for 3 years now and now that the family doc. put me on YAZ birth control pill I am even more scared - mainly of more weight gain, it would be a tragedy for me, I am fat enough already and what's worse I can't lose the weight, exercise doesn't help, diet doesn't help, NOTHING. Will YAZ birth control pill worsen my already tragic condition? I just don't know what to do and what to believe ... I appreciate any advice or help you can give me ... Thank You to all!

Hello all,
I have been on every type of BCP and have had little success with any, pain and discomfort wise.
I recently had an ovary removed due to a giant cyst, and at age 24, my doctor said this is probably going to be an ongoing problem. After the surgery he put me on Yasmin, 20 days have passed since I started.
So far my symptoms are as follows:
- Non-stop bleeding, not spoting, but 20 days of period, very uncomfortable
- Sore breasts
- Painful swelling above my anus, below my vagina. It is red and feels like I cut myself
- Low libedo. Almost none.
I called my doc and he said to wait 2 months to see if the symtoms will stop, but I am at my wits end. I have to be on BCPs now to control my cysts (so I hopefully don't lose the other one), but am so confused and emotional distressed over the symptoms...
PLEASE HELP

I'M NORMALLY A VERY HAPPY PERSON, BUT ON YASMIN I SERIOUSLY THOUGHT OF SUICIDE. I COULD NOT SHAKE THE HORRIBLE DEPRESSION UNTIL I JUST STOPPED TAKING IT. I'D RATHER HAVE GIANT CYSTS FOREVER BEFORE I EVER GO BACK ON YASMIN. I SERIOUSLY COULD HAVE TAKEN MY LIFE ON THAT STUFF!

I've been taking Xanax for about a year. For the first 8 months I would only take it very occasionally, but I have admittedly increased the dosage over the past few months to 0.25 every couple of days to 0.5 every day for the past two weeks. Over the past 3 months I have noticed a marked increase in anxiety and paranoia (exactly what I'm trying to fix). Lately I have been experiencing dizziness, dry mouth, insomnia, weight loss, twitching in my legs, backside and other places, cramping type sensations in my left leg and the feeling that I have a 150kg giant riding on my shoulders, to the extent that I'm 110% convinced I have a neurological disorder. The doctors assure me no neurological disorder exists (and for whatever reason I don't believe them), and my wife is on the point of walking out. Xanax certainly gives you that instant hit of calm, no questions. But I never used to be THIS anxious, I'm not sure if this stuff is helping me long term.

I had my first Mirena five years ago. I loved that I had no periods... it was wonderful! I just had my second one placed two weeks ago and I have been getting flushed, have panic attacks, and a weird "shock-like" feeling in my vagina. The panic attacks are driving me crazy and I wasn't sure if it could be related. After reading several postings, I realize it could very well be the Mirena. But why don't I remember this with the first one? I did get the "shock-like" sensation before.
