I just finished taking my 2nd pill of Yasmin or oral contraceptives ever. I've always been against oral contraceptives, mostly because I feel they're so unnatural to a woman's balance. I don't disagree on people taking it for medical purposes though. Well I got pregnant and it wasn't the right situation nor timing; and now that's why I'm on Yasmin. I had a prescription laying around that my dermatologist had given me back in April for acne. I decided to "cash it in" at the local pharmacy. The first day, maybe an hour after I took the pill I felt a flood of some feeling in my head. I felt mild nausea, and a small pain in the back of my head that went away as quickly as it started. The feelings of nausea subsided at night, because I took it around noon. My second day on it I felt that fullness filling in my head, I was a little hot, and I felt mild nausea. I felt like the only thing to get rid of that feeling in my gut was to eat. I ate gamesa cookies which are like wafers, light, mildly sweet to calm down that feeling. It kind of helped, but food helped the most. I have taken ginger ale for nausea before and it's helped, but you have to make sure to take the fizz out of it first. In the evening I felt like my head was really heavy, almost tired/sleepy. I hope my body adjusts fast, because I'm not use to being out of balance like this.

After about three days on erthromycin(yesterday), I experinced a session of chills, vomitting and diarrhea. This lasted one day. It felt like that of a severe hangover/alcohol poisoning.
My perscription is 2x250 mg twice a day for one month, then 1x250 mg for 1 month.
It is recommended that food not be taken with this medication, but I found that drinking ginger ale and eating two slices of buttered toast was adequate enough to coat the stomach. Thank goodness for gingerale. I continue to drink it while I am recovering from the side effect.

Hello
-- By kkherrick | Reply | (2) replies | Private Message meI am 36 years old with a 3 yr old and a 22 month old.I had the mirena inserted in June of 2006 after my second daughter was born. It was great no more cramps (I also suffer from endometriosis),periods were shorter life was great. Then in april of 2007 I started getting horrible headaches, dizziness, nausea like I was pregnant and really bad stomach pains.I went to my primary care and he said i had the flu and sent me on my way.I went back in June and had lost 8 lbs and still not feeling good and was down to 2 meals a day and not sleeping and weak. He did some blood work and sent me to a GI specialist. The blood work showed a weird blood count(which till this day no one has ever found out why) and scheduled a upper GI. That came back negative so they gave me some acid reflux meds. Came back 2 months later and then scheduled me for a lower GI that too was negative. So I complained some more and sent me to Boston to the big wigs which is where Im still going to currently and they ran some allergy test and a couple of CT Scans. They all came back negative!!
So its now almost a year later and Im down 28 lbs, 1 meal a day which is dinner so i can go lay down since my husband is home and can watch my girls. I have constant nausea that is worse than being pregnant at least ginger ale and crackers cured that. The funny thing is my Dr. prescribed me a medication for nausea that cancer patients take. Great thanks for adding more toxic crap to my body. Hair is falling out by the clumps and I have very thick hair that my hair dresser tells me people would kill for, no sex drive my poor husband but he sees me in pain and the constant headaches and mood swings are bad. My poor 2 little girls that I adore must think Im this monster since I lose my patience very quickly and always yell at them and snap at my husband. I have constant chest pains that I feel like Im having a heart attack at times, and lower back pain in my kidney areas. The night sweats are getting worse and sleep what is sleep, Im still up and wide awake writing this and will still be up for another 2 hours. I never had a problem with sleep before especially have 2 toddlers.
Luckily for me I have read this and will have it removed immediatley and the fact I am an independent consultant for a health/wellness company will help me get on the right track. This company has a great natural hormone balancing cream that will help me recover from this nightmare. It wont help with the birth control but I will deal with that separately. I have read all of these blogs and most of you women express the hormone imbalance, I can help you with this so if you are interested please contact me. I am so happy I got involved with this company and the funny thing is someone on my team suggested it was the mirena that was causing my health issues.
Thank you all for listening and heres to living healthy...
