I cant wait symptoms and conditions

OMG!! I can't believe it. I had it since 06 and I thought i was going crazy. I been moody, agitated, weight gain 45lbs, NO SEX DRIVE, lack of energy, hair loss, night sweats, hot flashes( thought i was going through menopause at 30, nausea, headaches like crazy, etc... I cant wait until Monday to schedule to get this out. I need my life back.

I am dizzy.. anxious,, hungary alot,, pee all day long,, and now my blood pressure is up..scares the crap out of me,, I took it out TODAY..I am pretty sure all my probs are from this medication

I got my IUD placed in about april of 07 i have seen than experience crazy skin problems such as ance i've never had a problem with ance and i'm 25 i have very bad mood changes that are unexplainable now that i have reread the side effects of Mirena i now know why all the side effects began around the same time and now i'm figuring out why! I will be getting it removed. Has anyone else experience really bad mood swings i was so ready to get on depression medications now i'm going to get it removed and will take it from there!!! Please let me know if i'm not the only one

I have been taking Femcon Fe for 3 weeks now and I am not impressed. Not only have I had terrible spotting everyday since I began taking it but I also have the most awful nausea. I cant keep any food down and have lost about 5 pounds or so. It almost feels like I am pregnant (im not though). I cant wait to get on something else.

I have had the mirena in for over 9 months, since then I have gained 26 pounds !!! I weigh more now then I did when I was 9 months pregnant !! My breasts have gone from a DD to a triple D, even when I was breast feeding for 5 months they never were this big ! I go months without a period and then when I get one its horrrible cramping and the bleeding seems like its never going to go away, sex drive has gone way down & its also painful no matter what position you try !, my midwife put me on prescription diet pills to help me get my weight in control, i couldnt believe it , nothing has changed my diet and excersize are the same, also I have had major mood swings and repeated yeast infections that my doc said are from the mirena. I have mine taken out on Oct. 3rd I cant wait this thing just isnt for me !!

To all the others with the same reactions to mirena, after it was taken out did you start to loose weight ?

All I can say is that this posting has made me feel a bit less crazy... At first I loved Yasmin. I lost a sugnifficant amount of weight and felt very good about my body... 3 or 4 months into it I started having severe panic attacks. I had never had a panic attack before so it scared me even more because I did not know what was going on. I was having panic attacks on the subway ride to work. Many times people would move and sit me down and offer me water because I would turn white and start sweating. I thought maybe it was stress so I began to see a therapist... Which helped a bit but I did not want to take any other medicines that the doctor kept pushing on me so I stopped going. The attacks stopped but the emotional rollercoaster continued very much. I cry ALL THE TIME and get mad very easily. My boyfriend is very supportive of me and helps me get through the depressions and anxiety-- but I don't think it is fair for him to have to do that. More recently I have been getting "brain zaps" that make me a bit dizzy for a moment and then go away. It is very odd... I've also gone and been tested for every allergy ever because everything I eat gives me a stomach ache. I thought it was maybe because I was having too much caffiene but I stopped drinking that and the attacks stopped-- but not the depression and anxiety in general. I never really pointed to the BC until my best friend said she and another friend were having the same symptoms and we were all on the same BC... That said, I'm currently looking for one that doesn't make me insane!!! And doesn't make me gain weight... I can't gain weight or I will stop taking it. So if anyone has any suggestions, please let me know!!!!!

wow. I have to agree with everyone on here. Im sooo glad i found this website. My boyfriend has been trying to pursuade me to get off yasmin for months now and i finally have. Yasmin
has made me miserable. Moody, bitchy irritable and most of
all a lack of a sex drive. Its made me anxious and horribly snappy.
I am SO glad to be off of it and i cant wait until its out of my system. Does anyone know how long it takes to be completley gone and too feel normal again? I dont know anyone who has been happy on this birth control!
thanks for everyones imput, its very reassuring to
know im not the only person feeling nuts on this medication!

Wow! I am also pleased to have found this site! I am a 41 yr old woman with MVP, diagnosed about 2 years ago. I was put on 25 mg of Toprol, and almost immediately began experiencing fatigue and apathy. It did, however, reduce my syptoms of MVP.

After awhile, I questioned the fatigue and modest weight gain and my MD allowed me to cut my rx in half. I was still feeling all day fatigue, which I cannt afford as a full time working Mom. (Who can, really!?) I was really over people telling me "you look tired", even on days I felt fine. I would wake up sometimes and be shocked at how exhausted my face looked. Had I really aged that much in two years!?

My MD finally told me that if my next heart scan looked OK I could try going off the drug. I cant wait! The cure IS really worse than the disease, for me at least! I would rather deal with palpitations and occasional twinges than this fatigue anyday, as long as I feel confident there is not blockage, which there is not, so far.

I have been prescribed Doxycycline 100mg twice daily for suspected Lyme disease. I have never experienced such strong side effects from taking an antibiotic before! The morning dose is the worst by far for me. It makes me feel incredibly nauseous and it makes me feel hot with stomach pains. I feel like being sick all the time for about 3-4 hours after taking it - I have tried lots of water and food but I still feel like crap! After about 4 hours I start to feel a little better then I feel like eating lots and lots!!! My body just seems to be swinging from feeling like I am dying to being very hungry hours later... I take the last pill about 10pm and stay downstairs for about a hour before I go to bed - strangely enough though I have never felt ill like I do in the morning and go to sleep ok. All very weird and I cant wait until I have finished taking this drug (14 day course and I am half way through)

I'm going crazy on this stuff! Severe anxiety and depression!! Its ruining my relationship with my fiance. We moved in together recently, i was fine at first. THen i started takign Yasmin and ever since i've just been so emotionally messed up its crazy and i want to move back home with my parents. Its awful b/c he is such a good guy and all i am doing is hurting him by being this way. My gyno told me to finish this month out then i'll go back on ortho tri cyclen. I cant wait for the next two weeks to be over with!!!!

switched to ovcon-35 last month... i had taken yasmin(with no problems other than some dryness!) for 2 1/2 years prior to this... i had a period, started ovcon on sunday start... i then had 9 days free of bleeding and then started bleeding AGAIN! I have now officially been bleeding for 11 days with no end in sight. i am also strangely hyper-emotional and feel bloated... i called my doc and asked to switch back to yasmin! i cant wait to feel normal again!

hey lisa,

yes your definitley right! i stopped yasmin in july and let me tell you that august and september were a complete nightmare.... october was better but i really felt the improvement in december... i began to feel like i could cope again....
you do have times where you feel sick for like days at a time but then it'll be all good for a week or so... its up and down but each time ur on a downer its not as bad as the last one...

eventually we will all be free of this crap...
i cant wait for that day..
and im always here ok
luv chrissy xox

to the last couple of postings..

i cant say i have experienced the facial hair growth issue BUT i did get the loss of appetite or sick feeling after eating... normally i can eat heaps!!! my hungar is usually never satisfied and my weight is good for sum1 who eats heaps...
but since getting of yasmin sometimes i feel sick just at the thought of food or after i have say 3 bites im full!! very weird....
i lost 4 kilos in like 4 days nearly... its getting better now but iv been off yasmin for 5 months... i do get an ache in my left breast every now and then and my left arm.. and when i ovulate i get the heart racing and fluttering but it is easing up.... i cant wait till the day i can put a posting on here that says im yasmin sife effect free!!
lots of luck to all u girls, we'll be alright!!

to the last too posts...

i just wanted to say that firstly i understand what your both going through and getting off yasmin is NOT going to be easy believe me...
i suffered the heart palpitations and anxiety and now ive been off yasmin for nearly 4 months and things have improved alot ... but VERY slowly...
i know sumday ill be back to normal 100% and i cant wait for that day but until then this site is what keeps me going...
i thought i was dying at one stage but after reading the postings here i felt alot better...
u need to give your body time to ajust and for your hormones to get back into place....
u will be ok but its a slow process.... but take my advice... get rid of yasmin now!!!

lots of luck to you both

ambien is great! after my last back surgery i was having trouble sleeping because of leg spasms (i am paraylzed from the stomach down) so my doc prescribed this drug, i get the greatest feeling about 20mins into taking the pill im all relaxed and calm, then i fall right to sleep. yes i experience memory loss (BIG TIME) i check my out-going calls in the morning and dont remember having even picked up the phone! its pretty amusing really, people always have funny things to tell about what i had done the night before. my mom was getting worried about me because i am only 18 so she wanted to switch me to the natrual stuff, i took three of those things the other night.. and it didnt do a thing, i couldnt sleep at all! i took 2 days off of ambien and im all gittery and anxious. i cant wait to take my pill tonight!! i may be addicted... but its not doing any harm to my body, so i dont see the problem, ive asked my mom (who is a nurse) if there are any long term effects of taking it and she said no, she even takes it herself. i am confindent in saying that if there were any long term side effects i would abruptly stop taking it. until then. LONG LIVE AMBIEN! :))

I Have Been Taking Kenalog For the past 20 years For Very Bad hay fever Nothing Else Worked As i Have Tried the lot.

It is now June 23rd and i cant take anymore my appoinment for my Jab Is tomorrow and i cant wait for the relief that it will bring.
i have had (touch Wood) No Side Affects That I know Of and will keep on using the product >

I'm 20 years old, and I went on Yasmin this past summer (a little less than a year ago) and for the first month or so it was fine. Then I began to feel depressed. At first it was mild, but by now it has escalated to the point that I can't remember being truly happy in the last 6 months. I cry every day, and I think the most depressing things. I have always been a happy person, and I'm so sad all the time now, it's horrible. I broke up with my boyfriend and say horrible things that I know I shouldn't, I act so desperate, pathetic, and horrible. It's not me at all, and I have been miserable for so long and not known why. My friend just recently suggested that maybe Yasmin was responsible for the change in my mood, and I plan to talk to my doctor about it as soon as possible. If this is something you are experiencing, try to get off this pill. It has made me a completely different person, one that I hate, and I cant wait to be back to myself.
