Sexual relations symptoms and conditions

Hi. I have been taking Yasmin for a couple of years now. I previously took Ortho-Tri-Cycline for about 5 years. I am one of those people who always had heavy periods and severe cramps, though after the birth of my kids those things seemed to subside. My doctor suggested Yasmin because I had a lot of mid-month bleeding with the Ortho, and I had developed some adult acne. The Yasmin did seem to help (a little) with the skin issues, but I still bleed in the middle of the month--every month. I call it the 'second period.' I know that the pill has side affects but they are becoming unbearable. I am fat and bloated all the time, I loose hair and feel ugly and very tired. I also suffer from hormonal migraines which the pill is supposed to improve but I believe it may be making them worse. Lastly I have little desire to have sexual relations, which is NOT NORMAL. I plan to go off the pill and find a non-invasive form of BC, but my one concern is that I might break out like a 14 year old kid. I am 35--I cant handle that at this stage in life! I would be interested to know what happened to people once they stopped taking Yasmin.

Thanks

i had the most painful and frightening episode last night. thank god for the internet....the zocor stops today....after only a week or so of low dose....severe leg ,inner thigh muscle cramps and then last night...i must speak frankly,at the end of normal sexual relations, my climax spasm transitioned into a groin and lower stomach cramp that made me roll off the bed in pain and confusion,never have i felt such horrible mind numbing pain....took about ten minutes for spasm to release,still awful sore this morning....it's oatmeal and more swimming for me...just the memory of the pain and helplessness in the midst of it make me nauseous.

Several years ago, I was prescribed prednisone for bronchial asthma. I have since suffered a back injury and have been prescribed it again to reduce severe swelling in my lower back. I noticed that each time I began taking the drug, my desire for sexual relations, strength of erections, and orgasms have actually INCREASED substantially. Strangely, it seems that most people complain of an opposite effect. Does anyone have any ideas on why I am affected in such a way by this drug? Thanks in advance and not complaining.

First I want to personally thank every single one of you from the bottom of my heart.

I have been on Yasmin for over a year now. I think maybe 2 years. Well I loved the fact I didn't gain any weight at the beginning. Well I have been the biggest b*tch you could ever met. I have had this horrible yeast/bacterial infection since I began Yasmin. I hated everyone, I would stay in my room and sleep everyday if I could, I no longer wanted to have sexual relations with my fiancée, and I just hated my self. I thought I was major depressed but my mom said its something that everyone in college goes through. Now after reading this board I have realized that all this crap is because of my medicine. I have thought I was crazy. I did horrible in high school because all I would do is sleep. I always felt hungry no matter how much I ate. Thank you so much. You are ALL God sent. Thank you all. I go to my OB/GYN Monday for the yeast infections. The first thing I will tell her is I want OFF of yasmin and on to something new.

If anyone has a suggestion of what I could change to please don't hesitate to email me. THANK YOU SO MUCH. I cant thank you enough. You have made me realize I am NOT crazy.
