I am seriously considering getting BACK on the Yasmin... I only got off of it because I forgot to refill my prescription. (I don't take it for birth control, I take it to level out my hormones.) The side effects I had while on it were headaches, sinus infections, 7 day periods: stuff like that. My issues started AFTER I got off of it. I've been off of Yasmin since Sept 22. I went one month without any other BC, then started Loestrin 1/20 FE. I just started my second week of it and I AM MISERABLE... I'm eating out of control, I'm weepy, angry, irritable, my boobs have grown at least a full cup size (and they hurt like HELL) and I have funky discharge!!!! I was just fine until I started mucking around with these pills!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm at a loss - I sincerely do not know what to do. I don't have insurance until Dec so I don't have a whole lot of options... Do I stay on Loestrin? Do I go back on Yasmin? Do I stop taking them altogether?!? How do I get back to feeling OKAY????? Sorry. No one ever responds to my posts anyway and I just needed to rant. I don't know what to do. I have Bipolar disorder so having my hormones out of whack doesn't help...
