I decided to get on birthcontrol because i had horrible cramps, acne probs and i would get really depressed before Id start my period, and I am also married now and no means ready to have a baby. I went to my doc and she prescribed me yasmin. Before i started takeing it i came along this site. I never wanted to get on birthcontrol before because I have always been afraid of the side effects, then after reading everyone else;s comment about the pill i got even more worried, but i decided to give it a shot anyways, that i could always just stop taking the pill.
Well its been almost two months and I dont really have any complaints yet. My periods are better and shorter. I barely have any cramps. Acne tho is about the same, but i also have heard it takes about 3 months for it to totally start clearing your skin. I have no weight gain or loss. My moods are about the same as they were before. Not any worse or any better.
the only thing i have notice is sometimes id get light cramps and backache...but they come and go...and its not that big of a deal to me because its not painful and its not all the time.
anyways, i thought it be nice to have some positive feedback

wow so after reading all of these posts I now realise that its not just ME and I'm not going crazy. I just started takeing Guaifenex the other day because I have alot of mucas in my lungs and a stuffy nose due to a cold. I was a little scared to take it at first because the over the counter mucus relief medicines made me sick to my stomach but I felt as though takeing Guaifenex was my only hope to actually get sleep at night....um I was wrong. Yes my mucus completely went away for the night but I found myself up for hours watching reruns of safe by the bell. I've felt very funny not knowing why, Dizzy, nervous, panicky, talking really fast, EXTREMELY hyper. Worse then if I drank coffee. Today is my third day takeing it and unfortunately I took my next dose right before I found this website and even thought too look up anything about it. I suggest takeing it during the day if you MUST take it, but I really do not recommend it at all. Try Afrin but only use it exactly as directed or you'll get more mucas problems then you had in the first place, its over the counter and seems a little more safe.
Thumbs down on this one.

Well, i went to see my doctor and i told her i had bad pains with my periods and passing blood clotes. We decided to do a Hysteroscopy, a Laparoscopy and a DNC!! Well, the test results came back that i have servere Endometriosis!! I seen my pictures AND THEY DON'T LOOK GOOD. But i don't like either of the options... Lupron shot or complete hysterectomy including my ovaries..NOT LIKE'EN THAT EITHER. RRRRRRR someone help me!! It's been a little over two weeks sence my surgery and i started reading about it endo. I got the book ENDOMETRIOSIS The Complete Reference for Taking Charge of Your Health By MARY LOU BALLWEG and started on an Endo Diet even started takeing Vitamins "MEGA VITA MIN FOR WOMEN". I just don't know what else... learning from the book over 600,000 hysterectomys are done a year and only 100,000 are really needed! AND after learning more about Lupron... i don't like it!! SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME FIGURE THIS OUT! Who wants to face all this at 29... and go through menopause at 29...Not me...but this is what i was delt..

THIS DRUG IS VERY ADDICTIVE IN THAT IT IS SO HARD TO COME OFF OF. I HAVE BEEN TAKEING IT FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND EVERYTIME I COME OFF OF IT I HAVE THE SAME SIDE EFFECTS. FILL DIZZY TUNNEL FISION NOISES AND LIGHT DISTURB ME TIGHT MUSTLES AND I MENTALLY JUST FILL BAD . IT LAST FOR ABOUT TWO WEEKS. AND YOU WILL FILL BACK TO NORMAL. NO MATTER WHAT THE DOCTORS SAY ABOUT LOWERING YOUR DOSAGES IT IS STILL JUST AS HARD. I WOULD SUGGEST IF YOU GET OFF OF IT DONT GET BACK ON IT. JUST BECAUSE YOUR HAVEING A BAD DAY IT DOES NOT TAKE LONG TO GET BACK INTO YOUR SYSTEM. THE BEST WAY TO DEAL WITH THIS HORRIBLE SIDE EFFECT IS PICK YOURSELF AND MAKE YOURSELF GO. I KNOW ITS YARD BUT IT WORKS.

i STARTED TAKEING SYNTHROID OVER FIVE MONTHS AGO. tHE FIRST DAY i FELT GREAT AND THEN MY SYMPTOMS THAT I STARTED WITH CAME BACK PLUS MORE LIKE CHEST PAIN AND WIERD FEELING IN MY THROUT. THE DOCTOR SAID IT WAS NORMAL BUT I COULD INCREASE MY DOSAGE TO A PILL AND A HALF. i DID THAT AND i EXPERIANCED LOSS OF MENTAL CONSENTRATION, EXTREM FEELINGS OF STRESS WHEN THERE IS NO REASON FOR IT IRRITABILITY. TO A POINT THAT i BEGAN HAVEING ANGER EPISODES. i DECIDED TO SEE A DIFFERENT dOCTOR AND HAD MY bLOOD TESTS FAXED TO HIM. oNLY TO FIND OUT THE ORIGINAL DOCTOR APPARENTLY DID NOT KNOW HOW TO READ THE TEST RESULTS. i WAS NOT HYPOTHYROID BUT I WAS HYPERTHYROID. IF THE NUMBERS ARE LOW THAT MEANS YOUR BODY IS CREATEING TO MUCH HORMONE WHICH IS HYPERTHYROID IF THE NUMBERS ARE HIGH THAT MEANS YOUR BODY IS NOT CREATING ENOUGH HORMONE WHICH MEANS THAT YOU ARE HYPOTHYROID. I HAVE BEEN OF SYNTHROID FOR TWO WEEKS AND FEEL TEN TIMES BETTER. ALTHOUGH I MAY HAVE MORE PERMANENT DAMAGE. IT IS OK TO SEE OTHER DOCTORS. I HAVE BEEN INTERVIEWING DOCTORS FOR YEARS THANK GOD I HAVE FINALLY FOUND ONE THAT IS INTERESTED IN MY HEALTH AND LISTENS TO ME.
