I'm 23 and I got prescribed Yasmin because I have PCOS, where I o...

I'm on my 3rd cycle since stopping Yasmin. Since day 5 of this 3rd cycle I am having same symptoms I had being on it. Aggitated, no sex drive ( I was ok there for awhile???), fatigue, leg soreness, acne, bloated/full feeling and no appetite. Still have not lost unexplained weight gain (thinking it's fluid retention but Direx helped little) & I'm on a good running schedule. Although the last few days I haven't run, going to force myself tonight. !st and 2nd cycle were not this bad & I thought I was on the up side of things. Getting fasting bloodwork done in 2 weeks. Doctor says lets see how this plays out in the next few months. This month is a reminder why I do not want to get back on Yasmin.

P.S. Weeping during a children's "Pokemon" movie is not normal. Breasts shrunk, too. I am taking food-based vitamins & physical symptoms are not from exercise or the short term direx. So far, I do not have the headaches I had on Yasmin but I do need to close my eyes at times just to rest no matter the time of day. This reminds me of a withdrawl/adjusting time & it's no fun. I'm also looking for others who have stopped and their story...

I stopped in March--so it's been about two months. Overall, I'm a lot better. I don't wake up in the middle of the night with crazy racing thoughts and my heart beat's good enough most of the time so that I can go to the gym without worrying if it will explode. There are good days and bad days--but the low points are overall a lot less severe. It's going to take many months to get our bodies back to normal. A nurse on this post wrote previously that these symptoms are caused by severely low testosterone levels--and our dear buddy Yasmin just so happens to suppress this hormone that regulates mood/energy, etc.
