Havnt symptoms and conditions

Well i been on loestrin for about 5 months now, Ive tried 4 other contraceptives (that kept giving me nasty yeast infections, headaches and severe nausea! , but this is probably the only one my body tolerates..... as far as symptoms, in the beginning i would have massive migraines and nausea almost everyday it was horrible! but it got a lil better as time past....of coarse mood swings from here to there, and a low sex drive... it suxs my boyfriend thinks "im not into him" anymore, and im telling u its the pills... cuz i didnt have this problem before i got on em. but i guess i choose to be on the pills cuz i dont want any accidents....it helps my acne for the most part.....haven't had any migrans lately hopefully they wont come back.... but my next step will probably be the IUD...hopefully this wont give me no problems =/ if that dont work then i dont no what im gonna do...anything with tooo much estrogen gets me really sick.....

Ive been on NR for 2wks and the only side effects that Ive had are the following. This weird odor, which I thought was from my period. But now I have no period and the smell is there. Hmm? I dont think I have an infection and I tried cleaning everyday with a mild soap down there and nothing. The other thing that I have noticed is the fact of depression. But not really depression more like Im to sensitive. I think everything is wrong and I want to cry all the time.

I havnt written on the forum in so long its really painful somedays to read of all the women sufferring so its very difficult for me to even talk about it most days

I have been off Yaz for 4 months today
I have had nearly every symptom mentioned

Thyroid elevated
Blood Pressure raised
Heart palps
Muscle weakness
Terrible horrible anxiety
Depressed thoughts
Not feeling like myself
No confidence anymore
Feeling of never getting well
Vaginal infection
Loss of interest in doing everything I love
Right eye feels odd the lid
Insomnia severe
Loss of appetite

As I sit here typing I miss the old me it is like the last 4 months have been a blur a rollercoaster unimaginable nightmare

Prior to starting Yaz I was having a great life nice boyfriend fun shopping going out planning trips cleaning gardening working you name it I did it and never ever experience saddness depression or anxiety
I was completely confident holistic easy going even tempered

I was on the pill 3 weeks 2 days off of it and I was hysterical and thought I was losing my mind and going crazy I cried and didnt leave the house for 6 weeks cried and had my family witness me almost losing my mind or so I thought

Although I have made progress I still am not working
I cant be a mom like I was to my daughter
I dont have confidence
I lost 14 lbs
I feel shakey in my arms still and have no clue if it is anxiety stress hormonal or if I have some unexplained illness
I dont know

Living in fear everyday of not being me again is tearing me apart

I had the hormone pellets biodentical inserted 3 weeks ago to try and give me a edge on balancing out I have seen psychologists psychaitrists medical doctors wellness doctors hormonal doctors

No one knows no one understands no one knows whats wrong

Iam forgetting things things I know I know its all scary

I hold hope that Bitter RN is better and a few of you

I want to be me again

What is it we are feeling off the pill months later like m

Is it hormonal is it Post Traumatic Stress is it the anxiety is it depression is it medical problems I dont know
All Iknow is I was healthy and fine and now all this

Anyone who can shed light and hope please say

Hi

Just re reading old posts gosh somany poor women on here

Does anyone have any clue how long till we feel better regardless if your on anti anxiety pills or not???

Dejays therapist and doctor said if your on anti depressants about 3 months if your not it will take about a year???

Does anyone have insight??

I need to be normal and work again havnt worked in a month

I need to be a mom again to my teenage daughter.

What is the deal???
Iam debating whether to stay on the pill or go off unsure what to do????? Lexapro iam referring to

Hi everyone

Iam still frustrated yes flowerbabies I had my period it was right on time and very normal no pain or cramping or abnormalities with that

Everyone said that I would most likely feel better after a normal period but thats not happening.

I had terrible heartburn last night I did eat a piece of fried chicken and I believe it triggered it but it was the worst heartburn I have ever had in my life I didnt know what to do.

It ached all day today and is a tad calmer now

My doctor said to take Zantac for that but I read the side effects and lightheadedness was the top one I dont want that.

Its all getting overwhelming

I had the anxiety in my arms and tingling the longest had it last night and all day today usually it comes and goes.

I pushed mysel to do alot today but felt miserable the whole time.

Soooo you think the synthetic hormones are still in me does anyone know how long they stay in us??

I just dont understand 6 weeks off the pill how I can be feeling so much anxiety still its almost everyday.

I dont want to take anymore pills I have Lexapro and Xanax but I dont want to take them.
My doctor said I could take lexapro for just a month to get over this hurdle and its not addictive and since Iam taking it for a reaction to the pill or a imbalance i can stop it at anytime>> she said this isnt true with paxil or the others.

Iam too confused.

I just want to lay by the poolside relax and read a magazine and enjoy like I use to do every weekend.

Iam too hyper and anxious to do any of that

Yesterday I felt better for part of the day than wham got the palpatations the anxiety and no couldnt sleep after 4 nights of good sleep

Iam so sad I want to cry
I cant have any fun I havnt had any fun in 6 weeks

hiya all! silke! flowerbabies!

i hope every one is doing ok.

i have now been of that evil pill for about 8 months.

flowerbabies
i too have that muscle weakness, its so awful, i cant say that i have it just one place though its sometimes in my left arm but really and truly its in my whole body especially a few days before my periods, during and about 7 days after too, so as you can see its their pretty much most of the time. im sorry i cant be of more help. but if you are really worried about it please go and see a doctor to rule out anything else.

i have developed all sorts of other things recently, which are acid reflux, really bad chest pain, constant sore throat.
please help if you too have experienced any of the above.
i dont know what else to say really im so tired of feeling like this , i just want to feel normal again, it really gets me down.

please please reply

silke,
i havnt heard from you, i honestly hope you are doing ok.

thanks ladies
god bless you all

I have nearly lost my mind on Yaz my doctor put me on it because I had a small cyst. I never tookbirth control before and Iam 40 I only took it for the one month supply and Iam a physical and emotional wreck. I havnt been able to go anywhere I have severe anxiety headaches shaking heart racing lost 10 lbs I cant go anyplace or do anything. Another girl in Arizona and I have contacted attorneys we need allyour names and what you took and email. This is posion and my life has been a mess since. i have been off for 15 days and have no relief. My doctor too prescribed Xanax and I dont take medicine normally so Iam suffering. I took one but it makes me feel foggy. However my symptoms are so severe. Comeon ladies we have to get this off the market just because you arnt experiencing symptoms and feel good now you dont know what it is doing to your body! Stop taking it

hello everyone, silke,

thankyou so so much for your responses, when i needed you.

im really sorry i havnt responded sooner, its just that i havnt been all there the past couple of weeks. ive been so anxious, scared and thought that something really serious was wrong with me and that i was going to die.
its been so scary and horrible, but after reading yor responses ive kept telling myself, "its the yasmin", and its kept me going.
i cant thank you enough for your support.

i feel a little better now, im just scared that it will happen again on my next cycle.

i just want to be normal again.

sometimes i wish i was a wizard, with a wand. i would wave it and make all of us better again. dont we all wish it was that simple.

silke,
thankyou so much, im so glad to hear that the weights coming off.
you wrote in one of your posts about the back and leg pain before your periods, i get that too, before, on and after my periods, it makes you feel like your drained out with no energy. take rest when this happens, it works for me. hang in there you will get better hopefully when your cycle becomes regular.

thanks again everybody
god bless you all

hiya all, silke!

thankyou so much for posting back silke!!

i am sorry i didnt post earlier i just havnt been feeling myself, really withdrawn, needed to be myself and did not want to talk or be around anybody.

i feel a little better now but still not myself, i suppose i have to be patient and take each day as it comes.

one minute i am fine and the next the anxiety kicks in and i feel like crap, i just want to feel normal again.

oh silke, why is this happening i feel like a 80 year old, always so tired and ill all the time.

one good thing this pill has done for me is, its taught me to do my homework before taking any kind of medication ever again and also how hormones can affect the body, if there not in balance they can make you go mad.

sorry again, thankyou and god bless you silke

big hugs
sophie

hi everybody

it has been 26 days since i stopped yasmin, after taking it for about a year.

i feel alot bette althoughthe anxiety does come and go.

i havnt had a period and am wondering what the hell is going on

HOW LONG AFTER STOPPING DID YOU GET YOUR PERIOD??????

ANYBODY PLEASE HELP I AM REALLY WORRIED

THANKYOU

joanne!!!
u do not have a brain tumour!! believe me i know what your feeling.... i was only on yasmin for a month and the anxiety started about 6 weeks after i stopped taking it. i went to hospital twice thinking i was having a heart atack but everything was fine. all you have to do is train yourself and your mind not to get nervous when u feel the anxiety coming on... at the start it is hard ur right but you will get better at it and eventually you will forget it altogether.
it will go away i promise you.... ive been off yasmin for almost 3 months now and it has improved alot. now that i know wat it is i can control it. just remember to breathe in deep when u feel it and try to keep your mind occupied so ur not always thinking about it....
i havnt taken any medication either and i feel better each day.... trust me its going to be alright you just need to give yourself time and keep telling urself its only yasmin thats doing it ....
it will be out of ur system eventually and life will go back to normal i promise...
take care and good luck xoxoxo

I was on Yasmin for 1 month only as it was recommended to me by a friend. I was told it was the best pill ever and side effects were minimal. After 1 week everything was fine. In the second week my breasts started to become so sore and they just blew up a whole bra size!!! I wanted to get off Yasmin but decided just to see the month through. When i finished my period i was still getting continual spotting everyday I would bleed a little and i assumed this was normal. I have read a few postings where people have experience the same thing so I feel a little better. I finished Yasmin nearly 3 days ago but i still havnt got my period, just the spotting!! and my breasts are still killing me!!!!
Has anyone else had the same probs and can someone tell me when it will go back to normal???? I cant believe this crap has stuffed up my body totally... pls help!!!

Hi,

I have been on Yasmin for about 2 1/2 weeks now.
Over the last couple of weeks I have noticed that I am really sensitive about things, that I am more depressed and sad and I had an anxiety attack yesterday. My heartbeat is faster and I have a high level of anxiousness.

I also notice that my legs are more cramped after sitting down at my desk for a couple of hours. At work I dont sit down all day, I get up and walk around all the time, but the back of my thighs feel cramped at the end of the day and I have lower back pain I havnt really noticed before.

I think I am going to stop taking this today. I cant remember the last time I felt this sad and depressed for absolutely no reason!!!

i have been taking doxycycline for about 1 month now, I am 17, and taking it for my acne.(which it hasn't been helping)... I have noticed that i cannot take it at bedtime as prescribed, i have to take the nighttime dose around lunchtime for it to not lodge into my esophogus. Also, it seems to have a burning effect in my esophogus no matter when i take it. It does seem to help if i drink a gallon of water with the 100 mg pill, but it is hard to stomach that much water. Now, i have stopped taking it because it started to hurt my esophogus too much. I havnt taken it for about 3 days, and my esophogus, and parts of my stomach still hurt. Does anyone know when this will go away? and if it will go away on its own, or if i should get it treated by a doctor? thank you.

I have been taking ovcon 35 for about 5 months. The first 2 months were akward of course cause this is my first time ever being on birth control. Things were uncomfterable. Ive gotten my period on time every month and they are shorter. Only 3-5 days at most. The bleeding has slowed down and so has the cramps. But really the cramps havnt gone away. When im not on your period i get severe abdominal pain and my ovaires are constantly pounding. The first 3 months i still got nausa and discomfort. Now that im on my 5th pack ive noticed ive gained 8 pounds. 8 pounds of fat straight to my butt and boobs. My cup size went from a 32 B to a 34 C and my pant size changed from a 1-2 to a 3-4. I dont know if this is suposed to be the symptoms of this pill but i am sure within the next month or so im changing pills. It has made me change eating habbits and my body is very weak. I used to be toned and in shape and now i have lost intrest in everything. I am finding my self to be lazy and basicly a couch potato. I read that the other women have experienced wonderful results. I hope my personal experience hasnt brought any negitive thoughts about getting on the pill. It is great for someone who needs pregnancy protection and regularity of there menstrual cycle besides that i wouldnt reccommend this to anyone.
