Horrible gas symptoms and conditions

This in my experience has been one of the worst pills i've ever been on. It caused me to have horrible gas pain through out the month, then if it wasn't that i was always picking fights with everyone, and then crying about it 2 seconds later. I was constantly in an unhappy mood and was either angry or upset for most the day. I would sleep about 10 hours and still be tired when i got up. The pill made my periods worse, i would cramp so bad i'd curl in a ball and fall asleep. It also made my period last longer than usual. I was on the pill for 3 months and couldn't take anymore. I thought it would get better the next month but all it did was got worse each time. I asked many of my friends about their experience with this pill and they all refered to it as the "maniac pill". But it just gave me a bad impression of this pill.

I had mine inserted about two weeks ago. It was slightly uncomfortable. Not a big deal at all. A little bleeding and cramping. Haven't had sex yet due to horrible gas that I have had for two weeks. My husband is convinced that is how it works, because your husband won't touch you....he he he...
We will see.
I have had terrible anxiety issues in my past and I haven't had a problem with mood swings or panic attacks.
I am hoping this will work. I have three children and currently my husband is taking medication for lupus that can cause huge birth defects. So sick of condoms!!!1

I have been taking Macrobid for approximately four days. I have had increased headaches that won't go away with normal medication dose. I also have had horrible gas...in addition to stomach pain. I have have had increased urination, having to pee constantly. I have been getting up about four times at night, which is worse than before I went to the doctor. I wasn't sure if this was the UTI or the medication? Saw someone else's posting that they had increased urination too. I'll keep taking b/c I don't want the UTI to continue but the med is not fun.

hello ladies im a 34 y/o mother of 2 a 14y/o and ten month old i had the mirena inserted in late nov and did not realize i was having any problems till bout a month ago. in the time since i had it inserted i gained twenty pounds i have had no energy i wanted to eat all day i had horrible gas pains i was bloated and felt like a 98y/o woman with osteoporosis. my bones and joints ached so bad i had kidney pains mood swings hair loss no sex drive and had no idea where this was coming from. i owe it to my daughter for seeing a commercial on t.v saying that mirena makes u gain weight i had it removed today when i went in to my dr. office and explained my symptoms he said "IT WAS HIGHLY UNLIKELY" that they were cause by the mirena. it was weird because it seem like he really didn't want to remove it and my other dr. pressured me into getting it. just be aware i DO NOT recommend it. at times i felt like i was going crazy the depression was severe and no sex drive. once again i DO NOT RECOMMEND IT. i will come back to this site and give an update as to how things are improving. best of luck and god bless.

While taking Z pak, I developed a horrible red and itchy rash all over my body. I have had horrible gas, and 6 days of diarrhea, now my doctor has put me on Flagyl for the diarrhea. I will never take this again. It is horrible!!!

About a year ago I realized I was having an irregular cycle and I was diagnosed with having a fibroid on either my ovary or fallopian tube. My OB/GYN put me on Yasmin and said it would control my cycle better. I have had very regular cycles since being on it. However, I immediately noticed that I was hungry all the time and also developed HORRIBLE gas. I decided that gas was an acceptable side effect for my cycle to be regular (I'm sure my boyfriend has appreciated this!) Back in October, I got some sort of virus and was unable to eat for over a week. I lost about 10 pounds and haven't gained all of it back. For the past several weeks, I've been extremely nauseous several times after taking my pill in the morning. I skipped a pill for the first time since being on Yasmin and was in the bed nauseous for the rest of the day. I've also experienced pain in my left side around my ovary. I'm pretty sure the Yasmin is kicking my butt now that I'm a little thinner. I'm going to ask my doctor to take me off it.

I've been on Yaz for 1 year now. I've been in a deep depression since September ( 6 months on Yaz) for which I've had to seek treatment. It took 4 months to get me straightened out on medications and still daily I struggle with it.

Also I've noticed right shoulder pain, weight gain (60 pounds), no libido, chronic fatigue, bloating with horrible gas.Is all of this from the Yaz or is it my depression or what? I'm having a really hard time sorting thru all of this.

I have been taking 10 mg lipitor for about a year now, and my worst side effect is HORRIBLE gas...and intestinal pain. Anyone else having these symptoms? It has become so bad I do not want to go out in public!

Doctor prescribed it for me, as a laxative. It gave me horrible gas and bloating. Had to stop using it.

Hi everyone!
Well, I wrote in at the end of May talking about my horrible gas. I've now been off of Yasmin since May 27th, and my gas has totally gone away. Better yet, I started NUVARING! Yall have got to try this! It's awesome. NO SIDE EFFECTS AT ALL yet. It has 1/4 the hormones of the pill, and in case anyone is wondering... neither you nor your partner will feel it during sex. I just wanted to let yall know this incase anyone else is/was looking for an alternative to Yasmin, which I think most of us are. So, if anyone else tries "the ring" and likes it, please let me know because I am quite pleasantly surprised. Anyway, I had also had severe mood changes and they too have gone away. I think I may have finally found a miracle birth control method.
GO NUVARING!

Gosh!! Here I am thinking that there's something wrong with me...but I have the same side effects as all of you...on EVERY pill i take. I have horrible emotional bouts--I'll cry over something silly, I have NO SEX DRIVE WHATSOEVER and I am ALWAYS tired. I have a busy life, so I thought that was the reason for my fatigue. I am young and should have an enourmous sex drive, but I don't. And the week before I get my period I need a bathroom every five seconds, and I have horrible gas.

This website opened my eyes. Thank you. I will get off that pill now!!

Thanks everyone, this site has been so helpful to me.
I didn't make the connection with my side effects and Yasmin. I attributed all of them to something else. I have had anxiety, severe stomach pain, bloating (like I was pregnant), bad indigestion and horrible gas (yuck), my breasts are bigger and sore all the time, no matter what I do I can't seem to drop this extra 5 pounds (I eat very healthy and work out 5-6 times a week), my chin breaks out constantly (although other areas have cleared up), and oddly the area above my lip has darkened (even though I get my lip waxed regularly and have light hair). I had my first yeast infection in my life on Yasmin, which I've been taking for 4 months.

I found a reason for all of these things until my stomach started cramping and bloating so bad (in addition to the gas...constantly), that I was in tears. I called my mom (a nurse practioner) and she suggested it might be the Yasmin. Then I found this website and am not going to take another pill. Thank goodness, I found this out. My gyno said to make an appointment with the gastrointerologist and that it might be an ulcer or IBS. I can't wait to be normal again.

Horrible Gas and Belching. Not maladorous just constant large amounts. I lasted 2 weeks on that drug. After the first week I started Ortho Evra. I quite Erythromycin after a week of being on orthoevera and 4 to 5 weeks after stopping erythromycin I had horrible stabbing cramping abdominal pains after eating each time. I dont' know if that was leftover from erythromycin or from ortho evra but I quite taking ortho evra too. I almost went to the hospital due to teh stomach pains being so painful. I coudln't handle it any longer.
