Well, my Fiancee (Sandra) started taking Topamax a few months ago. Her side effects have included: loss of energy, tiredness, tingling in the feet, nausea, chest pain, appetite lose, rapid weight loss, and a severe decrease in her sexual drive. The worst of the side effects is her sudden and unpredictable mood changes. She verbally assalts me and her children all the time. She is aggressive and picks fights over anything and everything. I love her with all my heart but I can not live like this. So bottom line, Topamax has gotten rid of her migraines and/or decreased their frequency and severity. And the cost of that benefit is the destruction of the relationships with the people that love her most.

Queen of Snow: You are not alone. There are other women on this site who have been on Yasmin for just as long as you and dealing with the same side effects.
I was on it for about 7 months before I quit. Had my first panic attack 5 months on Yasmin. Then the second at 7 months. I also had the fatigue, dizziness, and nausea. Plus the sore boobs before my period.
It has now been 3 months since getting off Yasmin. I still have some bad days where I am pretty fatigued, but the dizziness, nausea, and sore boobs are gone.
So it will take some time, but you will get better.
I am also working with a nutritionist and taking some herbal supplements to help my body cleanse itself of Yasmin and all the bad stuff in my system.

Sandra hi, you will need a plastic surgery. I am on a way to get my done. The dent will not go away. I am also very upset. I did not even need that shot. I have no idea why our doctors did not inform us about side effects.

My daughter's doctor is pushing very hard for her to be on Remicade for her crohn's. After researching it on the internet I'm against it. T.B., M.S., deadly fungus infections all being reported. 2 hour infusions. Bad headaches. Not for my beautiful 19 year old daughter if there is any other way. I also suspect the profit motive for her doctor. The nurse can administer the treatment at $25000 per year while the doctor goes on yet another europeen vacation.
Am I wrong?
Yasmin (2) Topamax (2) Remicade (1) Lisinopril (1) Imuran (1) Metformin Hydrochloride (1) Kenalog (1)
