I just got off yasmin , and now am on alesse. I tried to get off yasmin to x,s before, and actually had extreme headaches and insomnia. I somehow got viral meningitis last summer, just after getting off yasmin,(I had been taking it for a year) . I have no idea if this is relevent or not. I also had bad folliculitis on my inner thigh, and rashes. On yasmin my cellulite would appear much worse. I am only 110 lbs, and 5'5. Now off of it , my cellulite looks better(a lot less) . I am having trouble adjusting to my new pill, I guess because of the hormonal shift. I have insulin resistance , so I am very prone to side effects.

Dear Silke,sarah and all new comers.
Well on Nov 9th i hit the 12month mark off yasmin and to all the newcomers i owuld like to say i have been reading these posts for the whole year and you are all where i was and in some ways still am. Do not get me wrong I HAVE RETURNED TO WORK, I CAN LEAVE MY HOME, i do not get someone to ring me at 7am every day to see if i am still alive as i truly thought i would die in my sleep and all that was my anxiety.Sarah i too got charles linden tapes and they helped me a great deal i ordered them over the net one night when i was desperate and i was so thankful. take each day as it comes and i know that is so so hard i remember last xmas being exactly where you all are, silke telling me i was going to be ok and as i served xmas lunch i was pooping into my computer to read posts to reassure myself i was not going insane. I have come so far and so will you all. Some things are still there, i still get heart palps sometimes and Bilberry is great for the eye floaters i got it in a health shop and its great, I gain weight like no tomorrow and my gp is a woman whom agress with everything being said here and this week has ran all the relevent tests again to see where i am at. I am also seeing a chranio chiro whom changes out seratonin levels and he is running a urine analysis of he hormoes and metablics so stay tuned to that result. I just want you to know that its so hard but its gonna get better i gave my job up i was so full of anxiety etc and now i am back at work and loving it, Silke do you still get the bloating as my face is puffing a lot lately and the chiro is waiting for the results to get me something
sorry for rambling
take care,and merry xmas to all
LISA
