I was put on Yasmin for PMDD along with an increase in my anti depressants- since I have been taking it, I have had several instances where I have slept for like 20 hours- has anyone else experienced this? My gyno originally put me on it for insomnia during my cycle- I can't take this anymore- I think I need to stop taking it- I haven't even made it through one pack yet- can anyone help me?

I became very lethargic and could sleep all day while on it. I also have a thyroid problem, which I'm sure also has a lot to do with it. I started working out on a weekly basis about 4 months ago 3x's strenght training and 3x's strictly cardio, that has helped me drop about 30 of the 40lbs that I've gained. I completely stopped taking the pill 2months ago, my energy levels have increased. My periods were really good while on it, 2-3 days and very light, almost no cramping. I just had my first one while off of it. It was very heavy the first day, with a lot of cramping and back pain, not to mention I was very irratable. Needless to say I was crying for any little reason the day before and for a day or two while on it. Overall I was on Yasmin for about 2 1/2 years
