I was on Yasmin first and started having really bad side effects like numbing/tingling in my left hand and foot. Headaches were horrible and I was constantly nauseous. My doctor took me off Yasmin and put me through a bunch of tests to make sure that I didn't have MS. Once that was ruled out, and I was feeling better, he put me on Mircette. I did fine on Mircette for about 3 months and then the pharmicist gave me a generic packet. I don't know if that made a difference, but I was horribly nauseous the ENTIRE time, my breasts were constantly sore. Now the tingling/numbness has come back in my lower left leg and a little in my hand. I even had some tingling in my cheek?? I'm off birth control pills for good. There's got to be something better out there.
Has anyone else had the same symptoms???

I started on Mircette about a year and a half ago. Since then, I have experienced extreme anxiety, migraines, depression (crying for no reason), numbness and tingling in my arms, hands, head, face, and neck. Before this, I was a very easy going gal. Now I get nervous around crowds, in restaurants, movie theaters, and have had to change my lifestyle so much, that I don't even go out with friends as much and feel like I am losing control of my life and body. I just saw my doctor today (she is my new dr. and did not prescribe Mircette to me). She said since I have Migraines, I shouldn't even be taking Mircette, which has a very high dose of progesterone. She said 1 in 20 women cannot take high amounts of progesterone and that she never would have given me this pill. She advised me to go off the pill for 3 months to see how I feel. Hopefully, I will feel like myself again :)
