Yasmin and empty stomach

i WAS ONLY ON yAZ yASMINE FOR 3 WEEKS and 3 months later Iam still not well and yes all the doctors told me its in my head as well and put me on Xanax andLexapro.

I had to stop the Lexapro as it made it impossible to eat and I was getting sicker and sicker on it

I still cannot sleeep does anyone else have chronic insomnia Iam talking about I cant take naps cant sleep I have to take something to sleep or I cant period
Doesnt matter what time of day or night

If I dont take something I will lay there all night long
Last night till 230 and I gave in and took something

What is causing this??????

Dejay had it as well but now she can sleep but she is on Lexapro so Iam wondering if the Lexapro had the opposite effect with her and made her sleep again.

Please someone??

Hi Everyone it's Hill, here is my weekly update. It's has been officially one month post Yasmin He*l. I have had 2 or 3 pretty good days in a row. Very very slight numbing and tingling, but I mean slight. I felt really good today, however, I'm starting to feel bit week and groggy. I'm assuming this is b/c when on Yasmin I would normally be starting my period tomorrow like clock work. I'm not sure if it is actually going to come or not. So I'm just writing it off as that time of the month. Did most of you experience a timely menstral cycle, or was it delayed?

I was also wondering if anyone has felt completely starving after stopping Yasmin. I am trying to lose the weight I gained while on Yasmin, however I am always hungry. I can eat a full dinner, not like huge pasta dish, but fish, vegetable and piece of breat and not be satisfied. I'll want something else. It's like this constant empty stomach feeling. Has anyone else experience this.
Thanks,
Hill

SIDE EFFECT = MOOD SWINGS IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING DISCONTINUATION??

I took Yasmin for over a year and just went off of it because I hated what it was doing to my body, and my mind. Physically, the only noticeable side effect was the nausea. I literally had to eat every four hours to prevent having an empty stomach....or I would get painfully nauseous. PANIC attacks. During stressful times (i.e. moving) my heart would race to the point I could not catch my breath. I never had a problem handling "normal" stress. PERIODS WERE UNNATURAL. Without getting too descriptive, it just wasn't a natural flow and dragged on for 10 days but was so gross. NO SEX DRIVE. With the greatest boyfriend in the world, who is so cute, this made no sense to me but again, I brushed it off as being related to job-stress. TOTAL ANXIETY. I guess I've always been a worry wart...but my anxiety level reached a new high. Again, I attributed this to job stress. DEPRESSION. This was the worst and again, I attributed it to job stress. And then I convinced myself that the depression was what was causing my lost sex drive (which makes sense and is true). But job dissatisfaction and whatever else has been getting me down is no real reason for the level of depression I had been experiencing....Also my sister went on Yasmin and became visibly DEPRESSED too but she blame it on her job as well, and actually just got a new one.....and I will be curious to see if her depression lifts at all.

This month, my first BCP-free month in over one year, my sex drive is finally back to normal, I'm not as depressed (but still down), and still very anxious. Over this past week, I've been PMSing and totally out of control. Suddenly I am moodier than ever before. I cry for no real reason. I am so irritable that even while I'm in the middle of over-reacting I still can't control it - and it takes me an hour to calm down and laugh about how ridiculous I'm being. And then 24 hours later I do it all over again. I'm totally crazy. I'm picking fights - I'm being a jerk. I'm just pissed off and aggitated. I finally get my period (today) and my cramps are horrendous - like they were 10 years ago. I've popped 800 mg of advil this morning and still feel the cramps. The depression? well that has been lifted but replaced by this rollercoaster mood disorder. I've been a total PMS witch.

On the pill my mood swings were actually under control (maybe because I was depressed ALL the time which was steadier than up/down/up/down). What I really need is something to help me with my PMS emotional symptoms. Has anyone been experiencing this?
