Time to try symptoms and conditions

My 13 yr old daughter was given yasmin because irregular periods. Bleeding all the time. she got regulated but after reading this site i realize why she has had the awful side effects that she has had. She started taking y around october of last year. She plays competetive soccer and she was not able to keep up ..Shortness of breath tiredness looked as though she was out of shape. We never thought it could be those y pills. never crossed our mind. march she was diagnosed with mono so we just decided to take her off because she had mono. she has not had y since march and she is still tired all the time. back hurts hot flashed heat intolerant. will this y leave her system soon?

I have been on Yasmin for about 9 months now and my side effects keep getting worse. I think it is time to try something esle but I am scared of what side effects I may have from a different pill. I feel tired ALL the time. It doesn't matter if I sleep 8 or 10 hours a night. On the weekends I take naps with my kids and still nothing! I have no desire to go to work and the only thing that gets me out of bed are knowing my kids need me. I could stay in bed and sleep all day. It is scary!!! The past 3-4 months I have noticed a few days before my period I get really depressed and am very emotional. For those few days every month I hate my life and everything seems to go wrong. I have never been one to have a pity party for myself but those few days I feel like the world is against me. I thought maybe I have some kind of problem and need to go to the doctor but after reading this and really thinking about when I started feeling so tired all points to the Yasmin. It amazes me that so many other people have problems. I am really going to my doctors now! Good Luck to you all.

Thank god I'm normal! I plan to call the doctor TOMORROW to come off of this medication.

I'm breastfeeding my son, so it's difficult to find a "safe" pill to use. I tried the mini-pill with lots of side effects. Have been on Yaz for 10 days, and as I read through all of the posts I realize I've had side effects I didn't even know were side effects!

The most troubling has been the anxiety. To have a panic attack while nursing an infant in the middle of the night is not a good thing. Especially the loss of control knowing that if I pull him off for my own comfort, he will probably become frantic. My anxiety level during the day has been ok, but I've been on Prozac for depression all along, which may be keeping me somewhat even.

Other side effects: insomnia (last 3 nights I've been up till 3 in the morning), extreme muscle aches, nausea in the morning (feels like morning sickness, but def. not preg!), dry, itchy skin, lack of libido and aversive to touch, even in a non-sexual way.

Oh, well...time to try another. Hopefully my OB/Gyn will not give me a hard time.

second time to try prevacid, acipex quit working, and again feel like my skin is crawling, Dr. didn't beleive me but this is the second time I have had this feeling when I have taken prevacid. Anyone else have this problem??

I have had the cough from hell since I started Advair about two weeks ago. I mean an intense, violent, uncontrollable cough. Right at the back of my throat and down some. Major phlem production as well. I think it's time to try something else.
