I've been on Yasmin for just over 3 weeks...I'm 2-days into my white pills. And I am sick as a dog. I have been throwing up for 2 days. No fever or anything, though, which is usually the norm if I get a stomach flu or anything. My stomach is killing me. I'm experiencing very sharp pains and cramping, but it up high, just under and below my rib cage. I have cramps, as well, but that is an entirely different feeling in an entirely different locale.
I have been taking Wellbutrin for a couple of years and I have definately noticed a downhill slide in my mood since starting this pill...no sex drive, tired, weepy, grumpy and my temper is flaring a lot easier than normal.
My breasts have become swollen and for the past 2 weeks, have been sore to the touch and ITCHY. I have to hold them when I go up and down the stairs and if I hug someone too close, it really hurts. (My husband is NOT happy.) The itching seems to be centered more around my nipples, but its like having poison ivy just under the skin.
All of the literature says to give it a few months and I did get 3 packs to start with, so I'm going to try and stick it out. (I had morning sickness for the entire duration of my pregnancy, so I've learned to cope with it.) But if it doesn't stop in the next 24 hours or if it starts up again next month, this pill is going in the rubbish bin.
On the plus side, though, no zits in a while. I didn't realize that was something this pill helped, but it's very unusual for me to start my period without at least 2-3 really hard, deep, painful pimples showing up. I have to say though, I'd rather a have a few pimples that the pain and vomiting I'm going through right now.
