Lack of magnesium symptoms and conditions

@ ipj:

Did you have any other symptoms caused by that magnesium deficiency?? Would be so interesting to hear, if you also had cramps in your legs or so. I always wonder, if those cramps HAVE TO BE THERE, if you have a lack of magnesium or if it even can be shown alone by all the other symptoms (nervousness, heart palps, dizzyness, headaches, etc.)...

Hi All,
I had taken yasmin for only a month and now its more than a month since i stopped the pill. For the past 2 months after i started with yasmin i am getting eye tic.( Under my right eye a nerve twitches. ) I saw a opthalmologist who did all kinds of eye exams and said that the twicth might be bacuase of muscle spasms or eye dryness. I checked on the net and read that eye tic can be caused due to lack of magnesium. Then i saw a post saying Yasmin reduces magnesium in the body and also leads to dehydration. Do u think it might be related to this?Did any of you have some similar side effect?
So i have started today with some multivitamin and minerals pill.

@perrythorobred:

You should try some Magnesium supplements.

Yasmin is causing a severe loss of elektrolytes and sometimes even vitamines. That's absolutely sure!! The diuretic in Yasmin diswaters your body daily and messes up your metabolism extremely!!

You should search google about the symptoms of a lack of magnesium!!. I'm sure you will find many of your symptoms there (such as headaches, nervousness, leg spasms, and many more)!!

All the best!!

To the last few posters:

yes, sore legs is one of the symptoms that can be brought on by Yasmin! I had them, too, during taking Yasmin and even a few months after getting off!! And so are the leg cramps!! Yasmin can cause a lack of magnesium in your body (and many other minerals and vitamines as b-vitamines and so on). So perhaps it might help you to take a magnesium supplement to help against the leg cramps.

But first of all and after all I went through I would recommend to get off this pill as fast as you can!! There are so many other and better ways for bc!! Please read through all of the stories here and seriously think about what you perhaps are doing to your body with taking this pill!! Be careful all of you out there!!

The very heavy symptoms hit me after 2 years and my life was about to end (because I didn't realize, that it was all this pill!!) after about 5 years taking it!!! So don't think, that if you're doing well with Yasmin now after a few weeks or months, that it will be all the time that fine!! I thought so for about 5 years until realizing the harm I was doint to my body!! I don't want anyone of you to go through the torture I had to go through!! It nearly ruined my life, I'm serious!! And everything gets better very very slowly (off the pill for 8 months now and still not as fit and healthy as I was all of my life before Yasmin!!!).

The heart palpitations and the rapid heartbeat is also a symptom brought on by this wonder pill!! I went through every day with a heartbeat about 90 to 120 for about 8 months!!! And it took the whole amount of 6 months (!!!) AFTER getting off Yasmin, until this symptom stopped and my heartbeat went to normal about 70 to 80!! So please don't worry!! It will get better. Give your body time to recover after putting this Yasmin poison into it!! And even if you were taking it just for one month... !!!

Take care and don't give up!!

Best wishes!!
