Having a bad day symptoms and conditions

UPDATE: It has been 1 year ago that I stopped taking the poison referred to as Lipitor! The good news is I am feeling better. I have lost 25 lbs in the past year by following a low carb - high protein diet. I am practicing some yoga and trying to walk as much as possible. I have more good days than bad but the bad can still be debilitating. My neck pain is managed by a once a month visit to the Chiropractor who uses the pro-adjuster for treatment. Also I have upper body massage 1-2 per month. I simply refuse to let this get me down! Attitude is helpful! When I am having a bad day, the leg tremors return. I must say in the past 6 months, I have only had this happen 3 times. And for that I am grateful. I am trying to analyze the triggers for the leg tremors. So far I believe they are related to stress and exhaustion. When I push myself and do too much. Still not taking any drugs and my cholesterol is 220. I have accepted this and will live a quality life for as long as God allows! For everyone who is having lingering side effects from this horrible drug, hang in there! I have seen improvement but I don't think my muscle structure will ever be as it was so I am trying to accept the bad days and move ahead and really enjoy the good days!!!! God bless you all! Kookoo

I am a 38 Yrs old and I took myself off Yaz 2 nights ago after being on it for 2 weeks. I still need to call the gyno and inform her. My personality completely changed, my moods terrible, snappy and extremely short fused, i think i'm officially banned from the dunkin donuts at the end of the street after yelling at them for screwing up my order-normally i'd let it go and just get it fixed, no patience whatsoever. I'd never been on birth control before, and I'll never go on it again after this experience. I didn't even want to be with myself. I can't believe my boyfriend didn't dump me after Sunday. The side effect i find odd and worrisome the most is, and I still have, pressure in my head and throat and tongue, it's dissipating as of today but started last Thursday (about a 1.5 weeks on the yaz). Has anyone else experience the head pressure?

I HATE YASMIN!!!!!! This pill is horrible! The anxiety attacks, fear, panic attacks, crying for no reason, and heart palpetations, are enough to make you crazy! I quit Yasmin mid pack with 10 days left to go! I just couldn't put anymore of that poison in my body. I am still not feeling well. I have been off of it for 10 days. My doctor, PCP, said that my serotonin levels were so low from the Yasmin. My gyno was a total jerk about it and told me that I was just having a bad day! I did not want to hear that! I am now on Zoloft to replace the serotonin. We're taking it month by month to see when I can stop on the Zoloft. The Zoloft is helping. I am also taking the B Super Complex twice a day. That does seem to help too! My mornings are really bad. I wake up in a panic for no reason whatsoever. Then I am nauseated until around noon. I usually throw up or come close to throwing up each morning. I am hoping this will go away soon! I try to keep busy all day so my mind doesn't have time to start feeling down. I just want to be myself again! I can't wait for this poison to be out of my system! It is EXTREMELY BAD 12-15 days before my period! Right now, I only have like 9 okay days a month and that is the week after my period starts and a few days the next week. Then the horrible emotional feelings start again! This site is keeping me going! I m sorry that all of you ladies had to go through this, but it is nice to know that I'm not crazy! Keep the inspiring posts coming ladies! My prayers and thoughts go out ot you! Look forward to hearing from any of you that can help or may have advice! Heather
