Little crazy symptoms and conditions

I've posted before about the side effects I've experienced and wanted to report that my sex drive, while not the same as it was before, is much better, and I've had some really good sex.

I understand that I could be spotting off and on for months, but I've had MAYBE 5 consecutive days without any sort of bleeding since I had it put in over a month ago. I'm nearing another two weeks of having my period.

If it weren't for instead menstrual cups, I'd have no sex life at all. I can handle it but I admit, it's starting to make me a little crazy having to wear something ALL THE TIME. I hope it ends soon!

I need some help. I have been on Yasmin for almost 4 years. Previously I was on ortho and was taken off of it due to an alarming weight gain and emotional side effects. Yasmin seemed GREAT until now... I am experiencing severe anxiety, shaking, headaches, blurred vision, hair loss, low sex drive and depression. I assumed this was all due to stress from graduating and entering the working world, but I have nothing to be upset or stressed about... I have such nervous thoughts and can sometimes say things that are just so unlike me.. I just don't feel myself. I am afraid to go off Yasmin and onto another pill in fear that things could get even worse... My previous experience with ortho was short but definitely not sweet. I am scared and afraid because I am only 22... Has anyone experienced anything like this that can give me some piece of mind?

Hi everyone,

I am in the first week of using Yasmin for the second month, I am delighted to read your comments as I thought I was jus going a little crazy too, the fits of crying for no reason were the most worrying, it seems very easy to totally take things the wrong way. Anyway my main question is related to BACK PAIN, since starting Yasmin I have had a permanent stiffness and soreness in my lower spine, has anyone else experienced this, I would be very interested to know and it has not been mentioned before.
Thanks

It is amazing how many people have experienced tightness in the chest, anxiety, and mood swings with this drug. None of this was mentioned by my doctor when he prescribed doxycyline for my adult acne. And I asked him about all of the side effects, as I was very wary about taking the drug to begin with. Until reading this forum, I thought I was going a little crazy. A generally happy, worry-free person, I experienced anxiety, sleeplessness, tightness in the chest, and trouble breathing. I recently quit taking this medication because I believe it was causing my skin to itch like mad. I already feel better mentally and physically. I will look for another solution for my acne and never again take doxycyline. It is very bad.
