I am taking Septra for a sinus infection. I am consistently, ridiculously nauseous all day and all night since within two hours of my very first dose. Taking this medicine with lots of or little bits of food, milk, bread, soup, peppermint tea, ginger, etc. doesn't make a difference.
Food smells make me wretch. I can't even wash the dishes because of the leftovers. Even simple mention of some foods makes me gag.
I also am sick when the road curves too much ahead of me, I see spinning things, and moving my eyes too quickly.
I have never been this nauseous in my life. I find it disturbing.
Vomiting does not relieve the sensations. My vomit tastes very bitter.
I suspect the accompanying headache is from dehydration caused by the low food intake and diarrhea.

Hello worried!! Guess what? I have been off and on Yasmin for over 2.5 years and each time I get off, I get very depressed (sort of unreal feeling) and cry at the drop of a hat. I also have ocd symtoms now, but NEVER before Yasmin. I am 43 and not meno at all. (as far as I know!) Perhaps this particular progesterone ( since it is only pill with this type of prog) has a negative effect on some women's neuro system. Might be that we had ocd underlying, but not noticeable until this pill worked it's "magic" and here we are. I do know that for me... time takes care of most of this and if we can identify what doesn't work, change it and drudge through the leftovers of it... (and keep a calm mind in process) our body can recoup. I am getting off Yasmin this month as I am tired of the 10 extra pounds I carry the three weeks on the pill. On the week of my period I literally lose 10 pounds!! I feel much more like myself and happier on the week OF my period. Should be the other way around. That how I know I shouldn't be on this pill.
For the ladies that are suffering severe panic/anxiety after getting off yasmin, according to my research, the drop in progesterone will cause this. My guess is that your body has yet to start ovulating again and isn't making much progesterone. You might want to try some of that natural cream ( just a DAB) each night for two or three weeks of your cycle as it is known for that effect ( it helps you sleep too) Maybe later you will not need it again if you are ovulating.
I am going to supplement my drop ( if needed) in this method and wean off if my body seems to start making it's own progesterone again. If your breasts get swollen and tender with the cream you either don't need it or you are using too much.
If you are feeling way too much anxiety and have a panic attack, I learned a little trick that helps (temporarily), Grab an ICE COLD drink ( coke, sprite etc) and drink a couple of gulps. It immediately slows some of the feelings. If you are too upset to get yourself one, tell someone in advance that you might need one when you panic (or whatever your symptoms) and make sure they know to bring you something cold to drink. Works.. .I promise. ( a dr friend told me of this quickie)
Hope this helps and wish me luck too (prayers might be needed) in my plight to get off this pill. I've done it twice before and lose hair each time. errgggghhhh!!!
See ya!

2 of the ladies that I work with have had woke up the next day after taking Ambien and found food crumbs or leftovers beside of their bed that they don't remember eating. I am very upset because, even tho I don't take Ambien on a regular basis, I took a tablet and woke up the next morning and when I looked in the mirror, I had cut my own hair! The hair and scissors were laying in the floor beside of my bed. I don't remember getting up to find the scissors OR cutting my hair. What a nightmare!

Today, I completed 10 days of taking 100 mg twice a day. It was prescribed to me by my dentist to prevent infection (took a tooth out). I had severe depression, nausea, dizziness, anxiety. I got to a point that I believed I needed psychological help. This is not me, so I begun research. Thanks to this site, I called my dentist and kaiser to told me to stop taking it since 10 is the maximum. The doctors do not believe it causes depression, but what do they know in my own personal experience with doctors with prescriptions they have put me through hell. I WANT TO THANK YOU ALL...YOU WERE MY HELP...MY SANITY. GOD BLESS EVERYONE...I AM JUST HOPING NO MORE SIDE EFFECTS ON THE LONG RUN...AND TO BE BACK TO MY NORMAL POSITIVE, OPTIMISTIC AND FUNNY SELF. HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!
