Silke- Thank you for your post. I am just hanging in there. I had some anxiety today but I guess it is par for the course. This is unfortunately not going to be easy. I am so glad that I am off of Yasmin! Today would be the day that I started a new pack -- instead it is going into the trash!
Another update--- I took the Paxil CR 25 at 9:30 last night. It was a disaster. It felt like I took 10 cups off caffiene at once. I was unable to rest and was extremely jittery, dizzy, lightheaded, saw spots... you name it.
This morning, I paged my internal med doc and told him what happened. He said not to take the Paxil 25 anymore(that the psychiatrist prescribed) and take the 12.5 (which I was doing OK on, just that it wore off in early evening) starting tomorrow am. He also told me to take the xanax as needed for anxiety so I took a half pill this afternoon.
michellep - sounds like alot of tyenol - are you OK?
Lisa- thank you for your Mirena input. It is helping me to reinforce my convincing myself NOT to do it. No pds sound very nice but I cannot justify the side effects.
My husband and I have been up for 2 nights straight with a sick baby (fever, vomiting, etc....) so I am sure that it is not helping my anxiety (or whatever is making me feel this way) that I am not getting enough sleep.
GOOD NEWS -- I lost about 5 pounds. Bad news is that I am finding that I have very little appetite. I think just being off of Yasmin has reduced my water retention.
All the best to each and every one of you.......

Carebear - I had/have the EXACT symptoms that you posted. It is almost as if I wrote your post myself.
Denise - I know how you feel. I had to take the Xanax per my doc when my heart was racing and I had pains.
I honestly NEVER thought that I would be like this. I never had a prescription like this in my whole life. I am one of those people who cannot even take a Tyenol.
