Yasmin and breakthru

SIDE EFFECTS I have noticed: Severe headache 1x per month right before I start period, sporadic heart palpations and the one thing that made me log in to this site: seeing shimmery/glimmery spots and/or lines in my eyes. It seemed to go away after about 1hr, but it still concerns me.

My acne has actually cleared up. I am 34 yrs. My weight has remained the same. I have used these pills for about 7/8 months. I noticed at beginning I would get moody for about a week every cycle, but after noticing correlation, I planned and expected it and have overcome it.

NO fatigue, gas, diarrhea, breakthru bleading, bloatedness but I will say my joints are achy. I have started taking glucosamine sulfate and it's helped a lot! MY EYES ARE SO DRY IN THE MORNING! and perhaps my sex drive is a little down, but that could be due to other stresses. Overall this pill is okay.

Has anyone experienced further side effects after going off of Yasmin? How long did they last? I'll be 35 in April. I started Yasmin in 1996. I started having a lot of breakthru bleeding so my doc switched me to Orth-Tricycline. I didn't do well on that, so went back to Yasmin. I eventually went to the patch, but that kept coming off, not to mention other emotional side effects with that also. After reading all of the other woman's side effects, a lot the pieces of the puzzle are now coming together. I have suffered for years with a majority of symptoms. I was even hospitalized for a week in a specialty hospital in Chicago in October with excruciating headaches. Looking back over all my symptoms, it all makes sense. I stopped taking Yasmin in January. At the time I weighed 162. Today, I weigh 132. It has to be the Yasmin because I have not tried to lose weight. Sure, I lost fullness in my breasts and my butt has become a lot smaller......in other words, my figure has suffered, but a lot of fluid retention is GONE. I have been sleeping A LOT better too. Here were my symptoms for years:
Panic attacks
Depression
Heart racing
Lumps in breast
Psychotic
Leg pains
Spotting every month
Multiple periods
Cramping
Fatigue
Moodiness
Mean
Acne
Hair thinning
Discharge

Since going off, I have experienced acne like never before. I'm assuming it's the poison coming out of my system???
Also, my hair seems to be thinning more. I assume it's for the same reason. Was this stuff that TOXIC??? I still have 3 packs left, but I don't think I'll ever go back on it! I sure would appreciate to hear from anyone who has experienced side effects AFTER going off Yasmin. I'm curious to know if it's just me, or if it IS the toxins trying to leave my system...
Blessings to all!
