Oppisite symptoms and conditions

I've taken loratab for several different things, after Birth of my son, after gallbladder surgery, sinus infections and so on.. This may sound odd, and I will probably get alot of backlash on this issue.. But it makes me happy.. I would seriously like to see a doctor.. or even a pharmaceutical company hold a drug trial on how laratab can be used as an anti-depressant, I've suffered from depression almost all my life.. and have been on a plethera of anti-depressants, they always seem to work for the first month or so, and then "wear" off so to speak.. I have to either up my dose.. or change all together.. I don't have to do that with loratab

When I take it, I don't have any crazy side effects.. in fact just the oppisite.. I feel i have much more clearity, I'm happy and just have an all around "good" feeling. When at work.. I feel I give my co-workers and customers the best of my abilities.. and not to mention my home life.. I'm a better mother.. daughter.. sister.. and friend.. and what's really funny I don't have that "urge" perople say they get if addicted to a drug.. I can go for months without it and i'm fine.. but much better when i do have it..

i took 4 loratab today for the first time all together it was 150 mg and i had no side affect except numbness and happyness i think its great and id try it again even tho i dont take it for pain

Hello everyone,

I wanted to post my side effects and have questions.

I did nothing differently with my eating habits or exersize regimen:

Extreme weight loss in the begining of taking YASMIN
I didn't complain about that at first, but I started losing too much
weight.
The extreme weight loss effect went away about after 1 1/2 year and now
I have maintained pretty normal weight for myself.
It has not made me gain any weight, which I am happy about.

I had been on Ortho tri Cyclen and it made me gain 35 pounds in under
one year!!!!! I was getting pretty heavy. I eat very healthy and am
active. Must be why my doc presricbed YASMIN, she said it ha oppisite
effect, and I really did notice this effect.
Also, BAD BAD depression with Ortho tri cyclen.

Yasmin makes me:
feel like crying for no reason and irritable
ZERO ZERO sex drive
headaches! - which I never used to get.
seldom eye twiching.

I actually feel better on the " 7 day placebo pills" while I am on my
period.
This is the only time I feel sexy and aroused, and in a better mood.
This tells me something.

I have been on YASMIN for about 2 years.

i have told my OBGYN of the sex drive problem and she said that all
pills will do the same thing. She said prescribing me another BCP would
make no difference what so ever.

I also felt deppresion with YASMIN in the begining and saw my OBGYN
about it and she said to give more time for my body to adjust to YASMIN,
it did get better, but I still have these outburts or crying, anger
irritable... that is not normal, I feel so sensitive.

Has anyone tried Ortho Evra, the patch?????

I can not tolerate zero sex drive any longer.

Is there a pill that won't do this to me???????
Can any one reccomend a pill that they have been happy with??????????

I know it's hard to say because I guess every pill effects every women
different.
Please help with any suggestions

Sick and tired of Yasmin

hi everyone,

I want to thank everyone on this site. I thought I was going crazy.
It is pretty bad when you think you can trust a drug to help you and even though it does some of the oppisite.
Had two kids, became asthmactic from weight gain, put on flovent, then lost weight 54lbs. then got pregnant again and the asthma came back but stronger so my Dr. put me on Advair.
I am 5 feet 8 inches 227lbs. and as long as I am that heavy I can't breath right.
tried exercising. paid $ 8000.00 for tummy procedure. Went from 213lbs to 206lbs in one hour but the next day i gained 10lbs. back and I couldn't understand why but now I do.
I always have sharp pains in my arms and my legs as well asevere headaches.
I am always hungry and my husband always says to me. " you just paid out all that money and you are now eating alot more.
So after awhile i noticed alot of swelling around my face and my tummy more now and my legs.
So I went to my Dr. and told him about this and he put me on fluid pills 1 a day. well that didn't work. so we went up to 2 a day.
Then three on my own. Well be very carful I almost killed myself. I almost suffered cardiac heart failure all because of this avdair and no one not even an Enternal Medicine Dr.
new the advair could have such a bad side effect for swelling.
