Hello! I am still here. I took Yasmin for ONLY TWO MONTHS. I have been recovering off of all hormones FOR FOURTEEN MONTHS. I had an emergency trip to the doctor for severe vomiting, anxiety, dizziness, weakness...just a month ago right after my period. Also, I have headaches with terrible vision problems (feels like severe eye strain or I'm going cross eyed) in the second week of my cycle (ovulation). Other than that, I am doing much better. I am going to get my eyes checked AGAIN Monday (still have some floaters and weak eyes). I am not taking ANY medication (except Advil for the headache...which didn't help a bit, and a multivitamin), but I am doing light exercise, eating very good, and trying to cut out stress. Today, however, has been wonderful. The good days are finally coming a little more than a year off that horrible pill. My general doctor told me it would take a full year to get my system back in order, my hospital pharmacist also told me it took a full year. I have a friend who went a year and a half before she even started her period, and my mom found a website claiming it took a year and a half for anyone's system to completely return to normal.......and I only took two months of that pill......... Hope this offers some hope. You are NOT alone. I felt like I was going to die a month ago, but I am doing very well today. Who knows what tomorrow may bring. It will get better. Be patient. I'm praying for you!
