antiyasmin- I took Yasmin in October, Nuvaring in November, then switched back to Yasmin because of all the awful side effects I had with the nuvaring. The first week on it was ok, then I got this headache that was pretty severe, almost to the point it was hard to function. Nothing at all would take the headache away. It lasted for 3 full weeks. In that time I also had dizzy spells and chest pains. I took myself off it and decided to go on yasmin because the only side effect at the time was that I was more emotional than usual, I did not have any headaches with Yasmin and that was a plus for me! after just two more months on Yasmin it felt like all hell broke loose. I felt I was losing my mind. Every moment of every day I felt like something was wrong with me (tumor, cancer, etc...) I also had these syptoms: severe pain on the left side of my back below my ribcage tender stomach with everything I ate abdominal cramps headaches blurry vision constant need to urinate, with slight occasional burning shakiness lightheadedness extreme night sweats (had to change clothes once or twice) muscle weakness earaches tight chest when breathing it felt like I was in the cold and had to cough mood swings, feeling in a numb state of mind with a low sex drive then switching to being very hyper with a high sex drive the list goes on.... I went of Yasmin January 21st and so far things are good, I have a mild headache in the mornings but after working out it goes away, I get little dizzy spells once and a while, and really short panic attacks like I am forgetting to do something. Overall everything seems to be going back to normal. I'm going to the gyno tomorrow to see what other options I have for BC. I may just have to stick with the rubbers!
