Isomnia symptoms and conditions

I had my Mirena put in on 12/23/08. That was just a little over one month ago. Thus far, I have had almost constant bleeding, or spotting, almost every day since I got it put in. That is expected, so I've been told, so I'm not too concerned. However, last week, my first real "period" started. Since then, I've had headaches, have been crabby and completely fatigued. I could sleep forever. I'm not sure if these problems are going to subside. Most of the postings on here have had the Mirena for over a year. Can anyone recommend how long I should give this thing a chance before getting it removed? There is no way I can live life this crabby and tired.

I was proscribed Yasmin for acne problems but straight away, I experienced nausea. I didn't take a liking to it at all because it constantly made me want to vomit all the time. But still, I was willing to trial it to treat my acne. After about a month of using it, the vomiting sensation didn't go away. Does anyone else experience the same problem? Finally, I gave it up altogether and switched to Diane35. I found Diane35 a much better treatment for acne without the vomiting side affects.

I've been on yasmin for two months now and have no side effects. Well, besides stomach problems i had before taking the pill.But otherwise nothing,except i stop on a sat get my period on a wed/thur and start the pill the sunday right after i start my period and it doesnt stop! ill have it for a week, never had that long until now!! any suggestions what i should do?

I took this pill for 2 years. Soon after starting I became severely depressed. I was hospitalized for depression twice while on this drug, and began self mutilating. My mom heard from a coworker that Yasmin causes depression, and she took me off the drug. Within two weeks I felt better. And I'm trying to get my life back on track. I am happier now than I can ever remember being. Now, even at my lowest points, I am still happier than I was for the two years I was taking Yasmin. I went from being an honor roll student, and now I am barely graduating. Please, if you are experiencing depression after taking this pill, take yourself off of it. Nothing is worth feeling like that.

I started taking Yasmin 2 and 1\2 weeks ago. The first week I had nausea and vomiting and really tired all the time. Now that I have gotten over that I'm always thirsty I have to be drinking water about every two hours.

I have been on Yasmin for 2 weeks and experiencing the most horrible symptoms. I have SEVERE nausea, extreme tiredness, dizzy/lightheaded, and SEVERE bouts of depression. There is something definately wrong here..especially if we are all suffering from almost the same symptoms. I'm almost elated to see I'm not the only one, especially since my doctor told me today that the depression I'm suffering from is not from the pill...it's me. Nice!

I am due to start my third pack of YAZ, and I am getting off today. My dr. gave me a three month trial after I switched from ortho-tricyclin low because I had break-through bleeding. I realize with any contraceptive there are going to be side-effects, but this is ridiculous... I have had extreme fatigue, I am sleepy all the time. I also feel like I cannot think clearly, like my head is clogged or something. I also feel very anxious and this feeling like I am going to pass out. Also my eyes feel very dry and unfocused. Nothing is worth feeling like this, and it is very obvious that all these symptoms are coming from this pill. I am scared to try anything else!

I started taking Yasmin about 10 days ago. On the first day I was at my computer and noticed that I suddenly couldnt focus on my screen. My vision became blurry. I also felt sharp shooting pains behind my legs.I took it for 7 days. During that time I became extremely tired, lethargic, fatigued, my eyes hurt. I slept for longer hours, and just felt generally drained. This was highly noticeable to me since I go to the gym everyday, and I didn't even have the zeal or energy to do that. My breasts became very sore and sensitive. The shooting pains moved from the back of my legs to random parts of my body. I stopped taking it after the 7th day and noticed an immediate improvement in my energy level the next day. I didnt need as much sleep, my eyes felt much better, not grainy and painful like I had to close them all the time. Now, the 11th day, my breasts are no longer tender, and all the other symptoms are gone. These are just the facts. I personally WILL NEVER take this pill again!!

Late in January 05 I was admitted to the hospital for severe ITP (low platelet count). They first gave me prednisone in my IV, then each day after 80mgs. I returned home 14 days later on a daily 80mgs for three months. I had isomnia and had no strength at all and just felt like a totaly different person. My platelets stabilized around 190 thousand for a few months. I was weaned off it completely. Then my platelets started to go down again. My Dr. put me back on 30mgs of prednisone. The second time around with a smaller amount is worse than the first time with the larger amount. I'm now down to 20 mgs and I have a deprresion now with low physical strength and can barely get throgh 8 hours of work. I feel an inner anxiety that I hate with no appetite. Prednisone probably helped me with my platelet count but who knows, they gave me other things, but I really hate prednisone and can't wait to get off it so I can begin to feel like a normal person. I'll tell you it's impossible to feel right when your on prednisone.
