U r not alone symptoms and conditions

So I'll refer to today as Hell Day, the day when all the horrible symptoms of my birth control pill attack me at once and I literally cannot take it. I had this exact same thing happen when I was on the nuvaring, and I stopped it immediately. I'm willing to sacrifice having 100% safe sex if it means I don't have to feel like I'd rather shove a knife through my brain than exist. It's only my second month of Yasmin, and I'm feeling more fatigued than ever before in my life. I feel so horribly depressed. It's beautiful outside and I was lying on the grass, thinking only about being DEAD. I'm not one to be depressed. The only other time I've felt this awful was my third month into the Nuvaring. I specifically asked my doctor for something that wouldn't make me depressed, nor gain weight. Well, I gained about 5 pounds that won't come off no matter how hard I try, and the depression is just getting worse and worse. I'm stopping this pill tomorrow.

Other symptoms included:
*Initially: a sharp breathing pain under my left lung
*Weird, small rash on my leg
*Would rather be in bed than do anything
*Overwhelming feeling of loneliness, questioning self-worth, etc.

hey gypsi, I, for one, am sorry for not responding to the weight gain issue. I know very well about the weight gain problem. After stopping pred. on June 10th, I've lost so far, 32 lbs. I've got about 25 to go. I'm glad that the problem for u was water retention. I'm still struggling with blood pressure problems but today is a good since last Friday when this all started. I still have alot of the withdrawal effects but have noticed I'm calming down alot which may help my blood pressure. Still don't sleep much but able to tolerate it better. For those who r going thru this, U R NOT ALONE. I wish that the doctors would do indepth research on this demon drug before putting us on it. I pray for all of u. If u have family members or a spouse that doesn't understand, print out some of these posts and show them. I've been blessed that my family and friends know and understand. My husband works all day so I get alot of frustration out during my time alone. If u can't sleep try benadryl or something otc. It will take a while for me to feel "normal" again. Thanx for listening

BRAVO to u Bronchitis27 !! U will get better. U r not alone not with all of us here. I know when u r at home u do feel alone, so do I. Just know u r in my prayers. I'm doing somewhat better, the trouble I'm having now is serious depression and such sadness. Still have insomnia. As time goes by, I will get better. Two months off of pred. now. Still hanging in there.
