Yep...........I trashed mine last night.
Did not take a second pill. Even though I did not get
any rashes, itching or other serious side effects my body
was just telling me "there ain't something right about this
drug". The side effects I had were total insomnia two
nights ago and frequent peeing yesterday. Never peed
so much in a day? Last night I got some sleep and I woke
up today feeling normal as I usually do. I think this drug
is terribly dangerous for anyone with rheumatoid or joint
problems to begin with. It is too powerful. My doc said
the same thing to me....let's try it..........wrong answer.
I probably don't even have a sinus infection since they
feel alright today. The only thing I have had for the past
two months is a feeling like my head is warm inside alot
but I don't have a fever? I am pretty sure it is all due to
allergies since I have environmental but went on immunotherapy again this spring.......3rd year in a row..take
9 shots. They definitely helped but I still take an antihistamine
but I find my joints and sinuses are always a little done in
this time of the year once again probably due to inflammation?
Anyhow......Thank you all for the input on this drug. I am
grateful it was here. I have heard so many horror stories
on this drug the past few days. Good luck to you all who
did suffer physical or mental ailments. Hang in there and I
hope you get peace of mind, body and soul.
Later............

Im solidly into my third week in my third month on Yasmin. With each passing month the mood swings and PMS get more extreme (week three is nearly impossible- my bfriend and I have simply become accustomed to dreading it). I've never felt so withdrawn from myself and others- its almost as if Ive had a perpetual inner shadow since day one. It JUST finally clicked after a friend of mine mentioned that 4 days after dropping Yasmin she's already 90% happier. Go figure. I too have had acne on the lower chin area of my face and have gain a few pounds. Nothing significant, but a woman knows when she gains weight and isnt eating more. Ive always been stable and happy and lately Ive found other things to blame for all the drastic changes in my life- I just trashed the last half of the packet...let the good times roll.
