Today is my 3rd day of taking Yasmin. On the first day, just 2 hours after taking the pill I felt pannicky and dizzy and everything looked really vivid. I know that sounds weird, but, I'm serious. I felt super speedy, like if slowed down any I'd burst.
Yesterday, my 2nd day, I got super sleepy, then woke up speedy again and then was weepy the rest of the day: My boyfriend said he'd be 30 miuntes getting home late from classes and i started bawling.
Today I took it about 4 hours ago and so far nothing weird has happened.
Overall i feel an increase in sex drive, really removed from my surroundings, spacey, I've had sleepless vivid dreams, and pain in various random parts of my body: My left ankle, right side of chest, back of my neck area headache, cramping in my menstrual area.
After reading all of these side-effects I'm wondering if taking this pill is such a good idea. I've been off BCP's for several years and previously I was on Orthro-tri, and before that Aleese. Aleese didn't do anything at all, and Ortho-tri made me into a maniac. Totally bitchy and moody.
Why are doctor's prescribing this junk to us? Why is this stuff still on the market? When is there going to be a form of birth control with little to no side effects. We shouldn't have to live like this. And the worst part: most doctor's don't take us girls seriosuly when we're complaining about side-effects. Does anyone know of a perfect or close-to-perfect birth control pill? This Yasmin thing just doesn't cut it. I'm only on my 3rd day and already feel peculiar.
There must be some BCP that doesn't ruin our lives.
