I just started taking Yasmin two months ago....OH MY GOD! I thought there was something really wrong with me. It scared me. I have never taken BCP before. I never knew that there could be side effects like this. I belong to Kaiser and the doctor prescribed it to me, telling me that it eases the bloating. i thought that would be good. ....I was very wrong.
I am not typically a moody person. I am very organized and can usually plan my work week and my personal like in a very, very practical way. I have found that for the past two months I cry at little things, I am anxious, nervous and I have most of these symptoms -dry mouth, moodiness, peeing, insomnia, panic attacks, diarrhea, spotting, vomiting, cramping, gaining weight, tender breasts, HUGE breasts, and eating like crazy.
I find myself up at 4am. I am dead tired at 11am- all sorts of odd things. I have cramping as well.
I also have brown discharge for two weeks before my period begins. I thought something was really wrong. My doctor could tell me nothing. She told me "come in and try another one." I am not sure if I want to. The doctors seem to just prescribe what is popular. I am worried. Any recommendations on something new?
I have stopped taking Yasmin.
