Severe depression,personality change, suicidal thoughts, panic attacks. Acne on face and body, hair growth on face, red,blotchy skin, bloated face. Hair loss on head. Constant hunger, sugar and caffeine cravings. Constant feeling of cold, even in warm environment. Frequent urination, dry eyes and mouth. Greasy hair and skin. Muscle and joint pains.

hi, i'm a 53yr old female with fibromyalgia. I was diagnosed with lupus in Aug. 05. My dr. prescribed be 0.5 mg of Clonazepam to help reduce stress and to help me sleep. My pain during the night from the fibromyalgia is severe. I still can't sleep at night, more so waking up with muscle pains when I take the med. I've told my dr. about this and the dr. has told me to stay on it. I don't know if it's the med or just ironic. If anyone has had similar side effects, please email me and let me know. ******

I became addicted to this med. It's easy to get dependent on it, both psychologically and physically, is what I found.
Would take it while at work, to "reduce stress" but had total loss of memory while using it. Not good, if you are a nurse and can't remember whether or not you've taken care of something.
I hope to NEVER use this med again, especially since I drank with it, all the time.
Am now in AA and don't use mood altering chemicals. Thank God.
My sister is now hooked on Alprazolam and won't hear my warnings about it. I wish they'd take it off the market.

I've been taking Yasmin for a year and a half now and have been suffering so many side effects I thought I might be imagining them. But now I know I'm NOT! 2 months after taking Yasmin my hair started to fall out in clumps, and has been falling out for over a year now. As if that wasn't bad enough, I've been moody, weepy, anxious, feeling ringing in my ears and vertigo, tiredness and so many other side effects described by other women on this forum.
I felt not myself for so long now and put it all down to the stress of a moving to a new country. But I know better now and only wish I made the connection sooner. I am going to stop taking Yamin immediately, but am worried about losing even more hair. Have any of you had similar experience, and most importantly - will it grow back?
