Soap symptoms and conditions

I was prescribed Wellbutrin by my Ob/Gyn for S.A.D. (Seasonal Affective Disorder). The actual prescription allowed for generic and I started out taking 150mg of Bupropion a day. I felt like this was too much as during the day I was fine, but at night I would get very jittery and almost manic. So I called to find out about cutting it down to 75 mg, just once a day instead of twice. I was fine but noticed in the last few days my neck and chin started itching really badly. Yesterday I made the connection that the hives appeared approximately one to two hours after I took my one dose. I took my meds at around 1:00 p.m. and by 5:30 I noticed fairly predominant hives on my neck and chin. I treated it with hydrocortisone cream and it went away. Today I did not take any meds at all and I have no hives or itching of any kind. I am sure it is from the meds because absolutely nothing else has changed in my life (soap, foods, etc.). If there is anything else that gives the same desired results for S.A.D. but without all the crazy side effects please let me know so I can ask my doctor. Thanks.

I am a 42 year old male who was put on a 600mg 21 day course of Omnicef along with 7 days of Prednisone for a recurrent sinus infection. Augmentin had failed and Avelox was a horror show. After 10 ten days of virtually no side effects I am now totally constipated and bloated to the point my pants don't fit. Also my stomach is constantly rumbling and gassy. I should add that it has done ZERO for my sinus infection. I have been taking pro-biotics everyday. I am now afraid to eat anything and scared of using an enema as I might kill whatever beneficial intestinal flora I have left. It seems to me that besides the "old standards", the new line anti-biotics are just evil. Unfortunately doctors and most Americans over prescribe and over use anti-biotics to the point where we now have to rely on these harsh new drugs. Stop using anti-bacterial hand washes!! Soap is just as good!

I have only been on Nuvaring for about 9 months now, but I can not handle this any more. Since I have been on the ring, my periods have actually become more regular and shorter - yay - my problem is that since I started using it, I have been experiencing cyclic emotions, severe leg and foot cramps, almost constant sinus infections, and severe headaches.
The week before I remove the ring, I am a complete and total basketcase, thinking everyone hates me (including family and friends) and I almost constantly cry for no reason at all. The rest of the time, I am fine. I talked to the doctor and he told me it is not the ring and put me on an anti-depressant. Two months later, I talk to him again and he ups the dose on the anti-depressant and tells me I need professional counseling. I went, an was told these cyclic symptoms seem to be more hormonally related since it is at the same time every month.
After about the first month of use, I started getting HORRIBLE leg and foot cramps at night. I have had my potassium tested, it's fine, I was sent to a podiatrist who put me in leg and foot braces to sleep (which cost a bundle and did not help!) I have added additional potassium to vitamins and started drinking 64 oz of water a day (even put a bar of soap at the foot of the bed and a knife under the bed!!! I was willing to try anything). Still having problems.
As for the sinus infections, they have been almost constant, which previously I rarely got, but since starting the ring I am almost constantly have. Same with headaches!!! I REALLY don't get it.
Oh, and did I forget to mention that EVERY time my fiancee and I have intercourse I have to check to make sure it is still there?!? The first time I lost it, I got a call from him later in the day telling me I had lost my "braclet" (he had no idea about the ring). I didn't worry because it was the day to remove it anyway. As time has progressed, the ring will either end up in the bed or on him (!?!). I could understand if we were doing something odd, but we are pretty "normal."

I have now changed to a different doctor who told me I am not crazy, he has had other similar complaints about the ring, and is putting me on Depo, which I used several years ago with no problem). Three days and counting...

okay...so I thought I have been losing my mind...I have had mirena for approximately two years...and I in the past year have had a least 4...and the first year like 2..never had problems with UTIs before...at one point it got so bad the infection went to my bladder than backed up into my kidney..thought I was dying..
I also can't seem to loose weight for anything..in fact I have gained weight probably about a good 20lbs..and I eat the same as I always have if not better and am somewhat active. No reason why I should be gaining weight..anyway I am suffering right now with a UTI I don't have insurance...luckily my oh knows me...so they called in lab work and then my script...however since reading everyones post...I am convinced it is Mirena causing all of the UTIs...I am in a committed relationship, no how to wipe, don't put soap down there...hell I am 30..I know how to prevent them...I even started taking cranberry supplements...but it seems like the infections are coming closer together..last one was August..so every 3-4 months or so...I am seriously thinking about getting this thing removed. Going through all this is not worth it.......

hey everyone...reading every post makes me even more scared now. I was diagnosed with Bells Palsy on Jan. 13th. My doctor prescribed me prednisone and valtrex. 5 days, twice a day, 20 mgs. On the 18th i was finished with the pills. Very happy because the bells palsy went away. On my birthday, January 23rd. I washed my faced with Biore skin cleanser (which ive used for years) and it felt like as if my face was peeling off as i was washing it! I got so scared when i rinsed my face i actually felt my skin turning to leather. I got out of the shower and my face was round and beet red and my eyes were puffy and face was very very dry...The next day i woke up and my face was worse. I called my doctor and he told me go straight to the emergency room that i was having an allergic reaction to a skin chemical and get treated for an allergic reaction. I did just that. The hospital gave me another dose of prednisone. 60mgs the first day then again the same dosage that my other doctor prescribed me. Im scared to death now to take this pill. Yeah, my face went down and is not beet red anymore but what's going to happen next week once i come off??? i don't want to go against what the hospital gave me, but as im reading these posts, im up at 2:55 am and not sleeping..! help!

I had my IUD inserted July 2008. First i began to have mood swings, depression, and weight gain. The symptoms were in the first month or two so i didn't realize that it was coming from the mirena. about the second month i began to get yeast infections every other week. i thought it was the soap or laundry detergent. i was in denial and over the last week i developed migraines that no pain pills will cure, body aches, fevers, chills an and nausea. I called an on call doctor and they told me to come in ASAP!!!! No kids for 5 years sounds tempting but it is uncomfortable and life threatening. i will never insert anything into my body unless i have done my research.

I was on Levaqin for a week (500 mg) for bronchitis. It seemed to work and I didn't notice any side effects and I am usually sensitive to antibiiotics (dizziness, etc..). However, the day after I finished my last dose I developed an itchy rash on my outer thighs, my back, my underarms and a few other random places. I also now have a yeast infection which I guess is a common side effect. The rash is what concerns me. At first I thought it wouldn't be related because it came on after I finished the antiobitcs but after reading some of these posts I see that you can get rash after taking the medication. Has anyone else had a rash AFTER taking Levaquin?

I've been on the ring for 3 months. Before that, I was on the Ortho tri cyclen Lo for like.. 5 years. I have had no noticeable problems with the ring, other than sometimes it gets in the way during sex, but if it becomes a problem I just take it out. I have not noticed any decline in sex drive. Actually, I think I have a stronger sex drive now. I have not felt depressed. The itching some of you describe would occur if you placed the ring without THOROUGHLY washing your hands with soap. So far, this method of birth control has been completely ideal for me, as a person who has serious trouble remembering to take her pill consistently. So far, I would recommend it to my friends. I'm sorry so many of you girls have had bad experiences. For those of you reading this who are considering the Nuvaring, just consider this: People who have bad experiences with a drug are more likely to get online and make their complaints know. People who are getting along fine are less likely to get on here to report everything is dandy. It's like a restaurant review.. "If they have a good experience, they'll tell two people, if they have a bad experience, they'll tell 12." Good luck.

My husband was on lisinopril for a couple of years. A few months ago, he started to get a rash. We thought it was a soap allergy so we changed all our bath, hand and laundry soaps to hypo allergenic. He continued to get worse. He felt extremely tired and weak. He felt chilly most of the time. The rash at first peeled and was red but did not itch. Then it began to itch really bad and it spread to his feet. He took his socks off one day and skin from the soles of his feet came with it. He had a rash from head to toe. He was incredibly thirsty all the time.

His Dr. and a Dermatologist got him off the pills and treated the rash with pills (fexofen) and an ointment. Within a couple of days, he was markedly improved. Now, almost a week later, he has healed almost completely.

Hi all, I tried the Nuvaring for 3+ months and there was probably only a week in there where I could not feel it. I adjusted and adjusted and adjusted! I eventually took it out because I could feel it in there and all the way down to my vulva. I then ended up getting a burning feeling when I used soap on my vaginal area and sometimes even the water just hitting it made it hurt. I finally went in for a pap smear and brought up the side effects that I was still enduring--at this point it felt like little cuts might be springing up and healing on the vulvar skin--and my doctor suggested it might be lichen sclerosus. (By this time if it was just related to the Nuvaring, it would have subsided.) Heck, I don't want to think that that's what I have because it's not curable (it's inflammatory and likely hormonal) and I'll have to keep using steroid cream topically for ever it seems. The reason why I'm pretty sure I have it is that twice daily for 10 days now it has not cleared up. My doctor wouldn't make the connection with Nuvaring but a couple of searches I've done have found the two things written up together.

recently developed under skin "rash",from ankle and upward on legs, my dr. is now doing blood work for ecchymosis petechiae, I am curious if anyone has this experience while using Fosamax D 70 mg. I am in good health and it is possible that this symptom is not at all related to Fosamax, which by the way I have stopped now for a while and probably won't go back. Stopped due to severe ache/pain in shoulder area and lower, so bad it was difficult to walk properly. Since stopping it I am walking straighter and no ache/pain. Even though my latest bone scan showed my osteopenia was better, I am off the drug on my own.

Is this normal??? I inserted NuvaRing for the first time August 26th. (During my exam). My NP said it would be okay to start then (although my last period was 08/11), but to use additional contraception. My husband and I have been using condoms since the birth of my daughter 2 years ago - so we continued like normal. Twenty minutes after my appointment, I became very nauseated. The following day I had a severe metallic taste in my mouth and a pounding headache. I became extremely tired (falling asleep at 8:30pm) and got very achy, especially arms and legs. I felt like I was on diet pills or drugs (jetty feeling, trouble spitting out words, racing thoughts). The symptoms would be gone in the morning, but come back as the day wore on. The problems became so bad that I took the Ring out on 08/31. (Holiday weekend, no NP on duty). I called the doctor's office on Tuesday. They said that I probably coincidentally caught a virus. It is now 09/07. My symptoms have become better day by day since removing the Ring, but the metallic taste is now a soap taste and I still have occasional nausea. Shouldn't the hormones be gone by now? How long will this last? Anybody????

Got it placed October 2007 and have had extreme acne every month. Deep in the cheeks and near the chin. Nothing will rid it even antibiotics or retin-A. Had cramping, bleeding at first but that subsided. Now I just have a lighter period about every 6 weeks. But I'm getting it removed come my annual pap as the 3% risk factor of acne is probably a lot higher than that. I'm one that had maybe one zit every month growing up with my period to having probably 10-20 at a time. They are so deep they're not even poppable!

I have been on Lisinopril for about 10 months. I have really not felt well the whole time and have developed some side effects that i have gotten use to and just lived with and couldn't figure out what was wrong with me. I had fatigue, problems concentrating, headaches, chest pain, blurred vision, body aches and overall didn't feel like doing anything. I also noticed a small rash on my stomach/chest when i would get out of the shower but figured it must have been soap or something. I even tried not using soap and it would still be there. Friends and family started telling me I never feel good etc. So about 3 weeks ago I got really sick with diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, chest pains etc. Kept thinking i had a virus or something. A few times i was so sick I layed on the floor wondering what is wrong with me. Finally got into my doctor today and he also said it was a virus. A few people said they thought i was my blood pressure pills including my chiropractor. The doctor ran a sleu of tests today and i should get the results tomorrow. I have also had itching all over my body and a vaginal infection so i thought that would not go away. From reading all of this I realize everything is a reaction to the medication and I did not take a dose tonight but 2 benadryl instead. I always noticed throughout this that i always felt better towards the evening of course because that was when my medication was due. I will not be taking anymore of this and I am not happy that so many people are being given this everyday without any knowledge. Thank goodness people are responding and telling their stories so we don't think we are going crazy and hopefully feel better and maybe save a life!

i am 26 years old and i had my daughter 5/3/2008, at my 6 week i had mirena put in because of the wonderful idea of not having to worry about taking a pill! the day i had it put in i bled like i was on the heaviest period i've every had and i continued to bleed for the next 7 weeks. every day i would at least have one bright, red gush of blood, one day i even had cramping so bad that it felt like labor.... i had a HORRIBLE labor! this wasn't how it was supposed to be, my sister came over to watch my daughter while i curled up in ball for about 4 hours until i took my last loratab from giving birth!!!! i had a strange pain in my left leg daily that ran from my groin area to my knee, i had severe depression to the point that i stopped breast feeding, was so irritated with anything and everything and i cried every day. i hadn't done this while pregnant or the first 6 weeks at all!! i lost all of my baby weight in about 2 weeks after giving birth ( i only gained 17lbs ) but since having mirena put in i've gained at least 7 lbs back. my stomach bloated up so huge it looked like i was 4 months pregnant, even when i would shower and rubbed the soap on my my belly it was very tender to the touch. i also suffer from ibs and with mirena i have never had such horrible, horrible stomach aches and constantly going to the bathroom.needless to say i had it removed 4 weeks ago and the very same day my mood changed dramatically and the bleeding stopped. the weight isn't going anywhere though which makes me sad although i think a good, daily cardio workout will help that. i'm still losing a lot of hair, i'm a hair stylist so i know to expect some, but it's pretty extreme. my stomach is still a little bloated but it is improving and no longer hurts to the touch and the ibs has improved dramatically .... i think every woman should be well warned on what's involved with this drug, do your research. i DO NOT recommend this to anyone, it is not worth the pain and depression. having a newborn is hard enough and adding all of these side effects made me feel like my very stable, loving home and family was falling apart. DO NOT GET THIS PUT IN YOUR BODY!

I am 25 years old. A mother of 2, and i have now been on the NuvaRing for 5 years. I got on the NuvaRing the day of my postpartum check up after i had my second child.. I loved the NuvaRing at first thought it was the best thing in the entire world, hell all you had to do was put it in leave it for 21 days days leave it out for 7. Go on your period and other then that everything was great. About 2 months into using the Nuvaring i started having HORRIBLE HEADACHES that would last 3-5 days at a time without letting up. I could not stand to be around noise, light or anything that had a strong smell or it would get my head pounding to where i just could not take it anymore. So i called my doctor and told him about the horrible headaches that i have had. Explained to him that before a bad headache would come on i would have this horrible burning sensation in my head that would make you want to die.. And the doctor told me just hang in there and give the Ring time to work, so i did and then as time went on i started having other side effects along with the headaches.. Such as BAD ACNE that scars after clearing up which has made my completion not so good. Breakouts on arms, back ,chest. So i got some neutrogena soap to help with that and it has worked.. But then i got more side effects such as BREAK THREW BLEEDING right after my period was suppose to be over and after intercourse.. Then i totally HAD NO SEX DRIVE which caused lots of problems in my marriage cause my husband began to think i wasn't sexually attracted to him anymore.. And i began to think that also. Cause i had lost my sex drive didn't want to do it, the thought of it made me cringe. After being on the NuvaRing after so long you began to develop this THICK DISCHARGE that is annoying then as time goes on you get another type of discharge that is thin WATERY DISCHARGE that is aggravating cause it almost feels as if you have peed your pants a bit almost feels like a yeast infection with out the smell. Which brings me to my next awful side effect which is the Yeast INFECTIONS and the number of UTI's i have had while being on the NuvaRing never had a UTI or a yeast infection before the nuvaring. Not having a sex drive because you cant because intercourse is too PAINFUL sex it hurts like FRICTION and STABBING because of the DRYNESS the Nuva Ring causes. So i called the doctor he told me that i would have dryness at first and to just use lube so i tried that. Didn't work still had pain from the dryness so i called the doctor again and told him about the pain so he wrote me a prescription for a numbing jelly that you use right before intercourse and that was suppose to help with the pain.But that didn't work either just made everything numb till where you couldn't feel rather anything was out or in so i quit using that and hoped to god that my body would adjust to the Nuvaring. Still today after intercourse it causes STOMACH CRAMPS similar to the ones when your on your menstrual cycle,and PRESSURE similar to the pressure you have when your 8-9 months pregnant. Going to the bathroom after intercourse is a total NIGHTMARE i have had times it has burned so bad that i have pinched my stomach as i peed to take some of the PAIN AND BURNING away.Dont always work! Another side effect that i have had is DEPRESSION i have noticed that i have been unhappy and just got to where a lot of times i don't care about things that matter to me because i don't feel that i have the energy to do so.. I also have ANXIETY ATTACKS which i have never had until i got on this NuvaRing. CHEST PAINS that i thought the first time i was having a heart attack it hurt so bad. I had to take little breaths to breathe which would then lead into a PANIC ATTACK cause i felt like i was unable to breathe like i am suppose to.. So yet again called the doctor who told me that i need to be on prozac to handle this. Never got on the prozac just delt with it hoping that it was just a little side effect and that my body would adjust to the NuvaRing, but guess what NO never did.. Another side effect that i always hate is getting SICK AND THROWING UP caused by a medication, guess what i still have this after 5 years i get to cramping so bad and headaches tied onto being MISERABLE and BLOATING and DIARRHEA and DRY MOUTH so bad that you cant stand it seems no matter what you drink to get rid of dry mouth nothing can quench your thirst and this is all hours of the day. So i would take Midol which would only help for a few hours and then i was right back to square one with the B.S caused by the NuvaRing. So i call the doctor and get told "well you will have that." the side effects will be less obvious the longer your on the NuvaRing." So stupid me stays on the NuvaRing hoping this is true! Which i have found out is not. The only good thing that i have noticed is the NuvaRing is easy to use and you don't have to remember take a pill everyday! I never had any weight gain or loss while on this dang thing. Pretty well maintained the same weight as i have always been. I have tried to get off the ring several times, but always get back on it, Because while the ring is out for 7 days i am miserable mostly with a headache that last 3-5 days untop of the TERRIBLE MOOD SWINGS that i get. i truly think that my body has been on this hormone so long that i have HORMONAL WITHDRAWALS when i don't have the ring in. Cause i am fine after the ring is inserted again. People can say what they want and say that this is a issue and that they haven't had problems and that is understandable and different people adjust to hormones in different ways but the time that i have my ring out i always get my sex drive back 1-2 days before i start my period. I am not asking anyone to believe me about any of this and if the ring works for you then great, i thought that it was going to work for me also but it didn't. . I have taken the nuvaring out this last past Sunday and have no intentions on putting another ring back in.. Yet again i have had 3 days of a SEVERE HEADACHES some thing that i believe is HOT FLASHES or NIGHT SWEATS,BLOATING,DEPRESSION,CHEST PAINS,ANXIETY ATTACKS,YEAST INFECTIONS, and BAD MOOD SWINGS and i am hoping that all this will pass and my body will go back to the way it was before the NuvaRing came along... I would not suggest anyone to get this as a form of birth control i would actually tell then that the pill is better off to have in the long run.. This has caused me nothing but a miserable life that i have tried to deal with and i am just not going to do it anymore. I hope to see in the near future the NuvaRing go off the markets and not able to sale anymore.. The only reason that i was put on the nuvaring is because my doctor had a hard time finding a birth control method that my body would accept I was on Ortho- Tri- Cyclin and got pregnant and had a girl... My postpartum check up with her i was given the Orthra- Evra patch and i got pregnant with my son. Tried IUD and my body rejected it. So the doctor says" lets try this new birth control"you insert yourself leave in for 21 days leave out for 7 and have your period," the longer your on this NuvaRing the lighter your period will become and the side effects which aren't many will fade also.". "So how bout it." Well i thought this NuvaRing was a dream come true, BUT IT WAS A NIGHTMARE WAITING TO HAPPEN..

I have been using Lisinopril for about 4 months. About two months ago, I noticed a rash, itching, and hives. After eliminating soap, changes in diet, weather, etc. I believe that Lisinopri is the cause.

I also noticed a cough and scratchy throat, although not as serious or pervasive as with other posters.

I stopped taking the medication 6 days ago. The side effects have not cleared.

My doctor was supposed to call me back a couple days ago, but never has. Go figure...

I've been on the NuvaRing for 4yrs on and off. I NEVER gained any weight from it, I do get moody but then again whenever your taking B/C expect that, your messing with your hormones! My sex drive is the same I still want it every night, but I can also say it's better actually because when I do have sex and if he does hit the Ring that's a plus to me..Maybe that's just me. I tried Depo I didn't gain any weight from it, my sex drive was the same but I did get my period for a full month sometimes..wasn't too happy about that...and then I got pregnant...I have a Depo baby!!! Next I used the patch I had many problems with the patch it would dry me out down in my happy place...my doctor (who is not my doctor anymore) gave me another patch to increase my juices lol ...I had to have a patch for my patch... next was the NuvaRing I never had a problem till this last ring I put in I got this yeast infection. I haven't changed my diet or soap that I wash with so I think maybe I got a defective NuvaRing this time(this is what I'm telling myself).. I decided to take it out clear up my infection and then put another one in and go from there...but I do like the Ring. Depo gave me my daughter, the patch was a hassle, the pill I can't remember to take that darn thing everyday, and to me next in line is the NuvaRing and so far It's been good too me except this last one I put in..if it's the Ring I'm just gonna really cry...And ladies we have to remember EVERYBODY'S BODY IS DIFFERENT!! You have to do your own studies and make your own choices. With most of your b/c contraceptives your going to gain weight I've haven't gain anything from the Pill-Depo-Patch- to the NuvaRing. It's always 99.9 percent effective. That .1 is my daughter so..some people get every single side effect in the book some people like me don't.. make your own mind up!

I am using Aveeno Anti-itch & Aveeno soap since 20 days. after starting to use these I am getting black spots & rashes & itching on my skin. Please suggest the remedy for this.

After 3 days of doxy I had chest and back pain...2 days later extreme headaches on right side of head. My husband told me he thought it was the doxy, but at first I thought it had to do with the medical procedure I had. I went to the emergency room(i thought i was having a clot or something) and they just said it was a combination of everything I had been thru. I now don't believe that. I have had a lot of problems with headaches before, but when I get a severe headache is usually when I wake up tired. I have woken up completely rested and still severe headache. Doctor thought it also could be rebound from benadryl which i don't believe. I also have had some itching here and there(thought i was allergic to a new soap). I have been off the med for a week and still having a problem with this weird headache. When is it going to stop????

I have only been on Singulair for allergies for 4 days. This was added to my Symbicort inhaler (for maintenance) along with a Proventil inhaler (rescue inhaler). About the same time I changed my make-up and facial cleanser. Day 2 of the new meds...Singulair and Proventil I have developed a breakout of hives all around my mouth, jawline, chin, and upper neck under my jawline. I seriously thought it was the makeup and soap until I read some of the posts here.

As for other side effects, only a headache but that seems to be after the Proventil puffs.

I am 30 y/o and only recently found out that I have asthma and severe allergies and probably have my whole life. The last 7 years have been hell, with one "upper respiratory infection" after another.
Thank goodness I found a new doctor who took the time to find out what was really wrong with me, but I am upset that he prescribed the Singulair, as he should be aware of the side effects.

As of tomorrow I am done with this drug and we will see if the hives go away. I do not want to get to the point that some other patients have gotten to, with the stomach pains, moodiness, etc.

I only the last year got the depression and irritable bowel syndrome under control and do not need a relapse.

Thank you to all who post and God bless.

I just had my MIRENA inserted today, OUCH! I asked the nurse prior to insertion if it would be painful and she said I would be "Alittle Crampy" but that was it. ALITTLE CRAMPY is not the word for it, I felt and have felt for 51/2hours since the insertion like I am in labor. Thank god I had some old Vicodin in my med cabinet because it was UNBEARABLE! I decided on this birth control because I didn't want to gain weight and had with ALL the others I have tried but maybe that wasn't the right decision? I don't want to gain weight,lose my hair,get facial hair(YUCK) or get even moodier than I already am. I already have NO libido how could that get worse? My poor husband, I will have to get him a lifetime membership to the "soap in shower club". Can anyone give me hope? Please , please, please!

I have been on Topamax for a little over a year. I've had most of the side effects; tingling, numbness in the fingers, dry mouth, forgetfulness, and weight loss - love the weight loss. All the side effects have sort of slowed down as I've been on the medication longer. The weight loss has slowed and I've even began to get my appetite back- I'm afraid I'm going to start gaining weight now! I've lost about 40 pounds and I needed to lose it, so that was wonderful. I've had a very hard time losing weight all my life so this was wonderful.

I was addicted to Coca Cola and this med also helped me kick that habit because I lost my taste for the carbonation.

Does anyone know if the weight loss usually evens out after about a year or a year and a half? I need to lose about 30 more pounds and was hoping that I would continue losing weight!

Anyway, I was on the Topamax for headaches and it has completely helped that! It has truly been a God-send for me. Other than monthly hormone headaches, I don't get migraines hardly at all!

I am wondering about having my doc up my dosage for the weight loss aspect????

I thought it was my soap, I have been on Yasmin for three weeks and have this horrible rash all over. It started on my face and spread to my neck and under my right breast. It is starting to go on my back. I just had a baby and I don't want to get pregnant again but if i have to deal with this rash, I will take the risk!

the more and more i read about this pill im amazed at how many "little" things ive been having and wondering now if this is the pill. Itching. I have been itching like crazy and thought it was dry skin from the cold weather but thought it was strange my skin didnt look dry. this is just too much back pain , inability to sleep, is all of this worth the trouble? not for me. I want the old me back and we'll just continue to use condoms.
