I have been on Yasmin since Nov, 2004. In January, I had a very bad infection like I've never experienced before. I stopped the pill for a month to make sure it was completely cleared up. I resumed taking them in March, 2005. Since then I have progressively begun to experience constipation. It's just gotten worse and worse throughout the months. My hair has started to thin in areas near my forehead. I had mild postpardum depression after I had my daughter in July, 2004, but it went away. In the past 3 months, I've been experiencing depression that is just getting worse and now anxiety attacks. Even though I've been exercising since January, I haven't lost any weight at all. My sex drive wasn't that great before, but now it's completely non-existing. I've never experienced such a lack of sex drive. The only good thing about this pill is that is seems to help cramps, tremendously and my periods are very short and light. I'm calling my doctor tomorrow to see if she can switch me to something else. I've heard that Seasonale is good, but I don't know if it's right for me.

I've been taking Zoloft for a week now, due to mild postpardum depression. I can't believe the side effects that I'm reading on this site. I haven't had any, as a matter of fact, I can't even tell if this drug is doing me any good. I pretty much feel the same.
Some of you need to go straight to your doctor or hospital if you're having some of the negative effects and psychosis that you've explained! Now I'm scared to even be taking this drug!
Good Luck!

I am 30 years old and have been put on Depo Lupron after a laproscopy to help with endometriosis. I am 2 months into a 6 month course (one shot every 3 months) of Depo Lupron and my life has drastically changed. I started feeling life altering hot flashes and night sweats two days after the first shot and nearly drown myself in sweat 24 hours a day. I experienced a little postpardum depression after giving birth 6 years ago but have found myself sunk into a sinking hole of depression and anger like I've never felt before. I bawl at McDonald's commercials and become enraged if the dishwasher isn't loaded properly! I am ecstatic one minute and severely depressed the next. I have even had thought of suicide since being on this shot. I am normally a very outgoing, athletic, cheerful, happy person - but since taking this shot, I have become a stanger in my own head. I tell my family all the time that I need to "go stick my head in the freezer" to cool off because of the horrific hot flashes. I have to carry a handheld fan with me 24 hours a day and sleep with ice packs to keep cool. Since the shot started 2 months ago, I have lost all sexual drive, am thoroughly exhausted by 9am and find myself crying at my desk at work by late afternoon because I am so tired. My family thinks I am going crazy and I've never fought more with my husband. My daughter has gone to grandma's for awhile because I'm just so tired and irritable that I feel like an awful mother. Migraines have also come full circle since the onset of the shot as well as blurred vision and shaky hands. I'm a little achy throughout the as well. I know that everyone responds to medication differently, but I'm finding a lot of people with the same side effects as myself and have to wonder why the doctors don't warn patients about these types of problems before prescribing medications such as Depo Lupron. I don't think I'll be going back for the second shot. Could it get any worse?
