I burst symptoms and conditions

I am really glad I read the other posts here. I see a pattern. I tried the NR for the first time about 12 days ago. I got a dull headache from it right away and my stomach didnt feel right although I never threw up from it. I thought I was ok until 5 days ago (Saturday) when I burst into tears over something little right after I woke up in the morning. I went to my weekend waitressing job and burst into tears again over something little. I had such mood problems that day that I worried most of my co-workers and smarted off to people which I never do. My manager was really worried that I was acting so strange. On Sunday I just wanted to sleep all day because I was upset. I freaked out and cried until I choked myself just because my husband was going to be home from work later than scheduled, which is a regular occurrence in his line of work. On Monday when I went to my office job I was in the bathroom all day feeling sick. After that I went to my waitressing job and got really moody again. My manager had a pep talk with me and I thought I was ok becuase Tueday and Wednesday (yesterday) my mood was much improved even though my stomach was still really upset. Well - today I burst into tears on the way to the office, could not shake it off, and left the office an hour later (around 9 am) to try to calm down. I felt better so went back about 10:15. Worked about an hour, felt sick in the stomach again. After almost fainting while opening the bathroom door, I spent the next 15 minutes sweating profusely while I hung over the garbage can waiting to throw up. I'm 29 years old and had to call my mom to come pick me up and drive me home. I thought I had a panic attack or a nervous breakdown by now. I slept a little, woke up with nausea and crying and got online to see if NR was why. It sort of sounds like it. I am trying to decide if I should just pull this NR out now or stick it out until day 21. I am afraid I might lose one of my jobs for being so moody and saying the wrong thing - or hurt my husbands feelings worse than I already have if I don't get rid of the NR, but will I make matters worse if I do? I need help!

Help me please! I was on Yasmin for only three months but it has changed my life dramatically. I realized it all when a cop stopped me and my driver's licence was taken away. I reacted by crying hysterically, for over two weeks, vomitting everything I ate (I lost 10 pounds in two weeks) and feeling drepressed. I went off the pill right away and now almost three months later, it happened again. This time it is job/career related and I am at work and all of a sudden I burst out crying and my chest hurts and I feel such a failure and extremely depressed. After being off the pills for almost three months, is this normal? or am i officially going crazy? Will I react to every stressful situation with extreme anxiety attacks? Please help!

Hello all! :0)

I can't believe I was lucky enough to of found this site. I woke up this morning, again in a horrible mood, a terrible backache (which all this time I figured was my new mattress!!), and my boyfriend again mad at me for not wanting to do anything sexual with him YET AGAIN. This guy is one of the best things that has ever happened to me, and I haven't been able to figure out why I don't want anything to do with sex what-so-ever, for the first time in my life!
I decided to google search any side effects from Yasmin, and found you all! :0) THANK GOD!

I started Yasmin 5 months ago, after having heavy periods with my other birth control pills. The nurse said "Oh, try this new pill, which helps you loose weight, and shortens your period". Well of course that was the winning line for me. Looking back, almost instantly, I had loss of sex drive. This is really unusual for me, especially for being in a new relationship, after being single for over 4 years. The backaches kept me up at night, and in the mornings, I could barely stand. I realized lately, that when I'm on my period, and not taking that week of pills, that instantly, my sex drive increased, I was in a WAY better mood, and the backaches were MUCH better.
The mood swings, I related to being upset with myself, blaming me for this loss of sex drive thing, which in turn upsets my boyfriend, thinking it's him that is doing something wrong. Out of no where today, I told him I was thinking about ending things because of the way I feel, and that's not what I want. I sent him off to work today, devistated, and actually not caring about it, until I read some of these posts, and then....BOOM! another mood swing...I burst into tears, feeling terrible knowing that all this time, all my problems could all of been due to this pill!
I have one more pack of pills, and they are going into the garbage, and the phone call to my Dr. will be as soon as they open, asking to switch my brand. I'd MUCH rather have a week long period, than to live everyday like this.
I want to thank you all for posting such personal information, because it has helped me to realize....maybe this wasn't ALL ME. There's nothing wrong with ME, and hopefully getting off this pill, will be the first step in improving myself. I will keep you posted!
Thanks so much again....

wow, wrapped to have found this site let me tell u!! I just got back from the dr's fearing i had chicken pox... it seems i have dermatitis all over my body!!!!! The Dr believes it is from a cream... i am certain its from Yasmin... One of the main reasons i took it was because i have been very sensitive to all the other pills i have tried... the last pill i was on also gave me a rash on my face only. the fluid retention is worse then ever...i am eating like never before (not helping that it was just Easter!) I have constant headaches and feel premenstral all the time. I burst out crying when i saw an email i would have normally thought funny and am having fears of dying and really dark thoughts about how short life is!! I stopped it 2 days ago and am still feeling batty... this hormonal stuff is powerful. I heard such good things about this pill- its good to know i am not the only one having trouble.
