Internet searching symptoms and conditions

Wow, reading all these postings has affirmed my suspicion that Yasmin is the source for my insane PMS. I'm 21 years old now; I went on the pill when I was 15. Everything started out alright. I had never noticed any problems until recently. I would occasionally get depressed, but it never seemed to last too long. Over the past few years my PMS has gotten increasingly out of control. I don't really have many physical side effects, just emotional ones. Exactly one week before I start the white placebo pills I become EXTREMELY irritable, moody, and depressed. I will have occasional anxiety attacks where I feel like I'm going out of my mind. Also, the bouts of depression during this week bring about horrible suicidal thoughts. It's become very clear that this is the only time this every really happens. I can't believe it took me so long to realize it was the BCP's. Before that 14th day pill, I am a happy, upbeat person who would never even dream of harming myself. Then when that week hits, I become so overly dramatic, depressed, and cry a lot.
Another thing I've noticed is that the only time I have any libido is during my period (the one week that I am not taking these synthetic hormones!). This, of course, is quite inconvenient, as I'm sure you can imagine. Out of despair and internet searching, I found this website:

At first it sounded kind of goofy, but then I read all of it, and was completely shocked! I just downloaded it, and intend to read "What Nobody Told Women About Birth Control Pills" first! Apparently, the longer you take these synthetic hormones (BCP's), the more damage they do to your body, and the less likely you are to regain your normal, natural production of hormones. This doctor's right- hormones are EXTREMELY important to your body, and messing with them can cause serious, long lasting effects all over your body. Condoms may be a nuisance, but at least I'll have my sex drive, health, and SANITY!!!

Hi,
I always had terrible hormonal problems, but even doctor don't believe me. I used Yasmin for about three months because of my irregular periods, it was OK for that time or at least not worse than usually and my periods had been regular. I decided to quit just because I am always scared of hormonal medizines and pills. I have been the last weeks on the internet searching for all my actual physical problems and I found out that Yasmin has been even worse to my hormonal system. Since I quited Yasmin, three months ago I don't get my period, my hairs is falling like I were poisoned, the heart goes faster, I am anxious, depressed all time, and off course, there is no need to talk about the 3 or 5 kg I gained. And, what is very strange, is the problem with the "dying extremeties", specially legs. I thought my lately lack of interest on sex was just because I have been feeling so bad lately, specially with the acne, which seemed to be better for a while with the pills, but now it is even worse.

I wouldn't say that Yasmin is completely guilty about the situation, but maybe some women have a very sensible hormonal system, always ready to collapse. Perhaps Yasmin, as usually hormonal treatments are, finally destroyed my already week hormonal system. I love this page, because usually hormonal problems make women feel so strange, that other people, and off course doctors, prefer to diagnostic psicologic problems than real physical hormonal problems.

I wonder if somebody is going through my same problem, slow metabolism, hair loss, heart palpitations, lack of period, over weight, anxiety, sadness, "dying legs", extremely oily hair, and acne. By the way, while I was taking the pill I didn't realized that the hair of the legs had been really growing much faster than it is now.

If somebody went through the same problems, and could tell me how long it took until feeling better, or some recomendations, I would be glad of hearing that.

Thanks to all of you for sharing your experiences.
