Just wondering what symptoms and conditions

Anyone who's had a blood clot in the lung or pulmonary embolism- what did it feel like? How would you describe the chest pain? I'm having awful chest pain.... I've had fleeting pains while on Yasmin but this is different, much more severe and constant. And I just flew on a plane so I'm worried it could be a clot. Just wondering what they feel like from someone who's had them...

I've been on the pill for almost two weeks now, the first week I had no symptoms then on Monday I started bleeding and have been bleeding ever since. I hope the symptoms go away soon because I don't know how much longer I can take the bleeding espically since I just had my period less than two weeks ago.

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!!!

My son has been taking Singulair for the last three years. He was only 2 when his doctor said he needed it for asthma. I wondered why he never got out of his "terrible twos". He was so horrible to even live with I would be in tears by noon. Very rude , hurt people, And had atistic behavier to appeir

I am currently on Yasmin (have been for about a year). I have been thinking about getting off of it, but I wasn't sure if my side effects were because of it or not. I do not take any other medicaton.

I have found that I now have NO libido WHATSOEVER! This has definetly put a damper in my relationship with my husband. I also find myself lethargic most of the time. It's a constant tiredness that just becomes so annoying! I also find that I get real moody and crabby for no reason.

I have a Dr.'s appointment on Friday and I'm gonna tell my Dr. no more Yasmin. I was just wondering, what methods are you all now using? I wanna get off the pill but my husband and I are not planning for children yet. What have you guys tried?

Hi guest # 18603!

I was just wondering what exactly is spirinolactone? Thanks.

just wondering what if any vitaamins and supplements any of you have taken to help with the side effects after coming of this poison.any advice is always a help and sometimes is good to know if anything in particualr can help us

I was just wondering what everyone's symptoms are with the anixiety. For me, I seem to have this backward personality now. I used to be more outgoing and social and now I just want to crawl into a hole. Is this anxiety? I do not handle stress very well either - it seems I get stressed and uptight about the littlest things...
I have only been off Yasmin for4 days now and do not feel bloating yet. How long before I should?
My weight gain happened while I was on the pill - about 20 pounds. I was hoping to lose this after stopping Yasmin but if other women are gaining - then I am sure I will have the same side effect.
Thanks to all the women who respond and give their experiences. It really helps me out.

I was just wondering what all the problems are with this drug. A coupleof pharmacists have informed me it is no longer a preferred sleep aide and that they will not be able to obtain the generic form any longer.

I was just wondering what those of you who stopped taking the medication did, to get rid of your sinus problem? I need an alternative.
