Yasmin and sick and tired

Hello everyone,

I wanted to post my side effects and have questions.

I did nothing differently with my eating habits or exersize regimen:

Extreme weight loss in the begining of taking YASMIN
I didn't complain about that at first, but I started losing too much
weight.
The extreme weight loss effect went away about after 1 1/2 year and now
I have maintained pretty normal weight for myself.
It has not made me gain any weight, which I am happy about.

I had been on Ortho tri Cyclen and it made me gain 35 pounds in under
one year!!!!! I was getting pretty heavy. I eat very healthy and am
active. Must be why my doc presricbed YASMIN, she said it ha oppisite
effect, and I really did notice this effect.
Also, BAD BAD depression with Ortho tri cyclen.

Yasmin makes me:
feel like crying for no reason and irritable
ZERO ZERO sex drive
headaches! - which I never used to get.
seldom eye twiching.

I actually feel better on the " 7 day placebo pills" while I am on my
period.
This is the only time I feel sexy and aroused, and in a better mood.
This tells me something.

I have been on YASMIN for about 2 years.

i have told my OBGYN of the sex drive problem and she said that all
pills will do the same thing. She said prescribing me another BCP would
make no difference what so ever.

I also felt deppresion with YASMIN in the begining and saw my OBGYN
about it and she said to give more time for my body to adjust to YASMIN,
it did get better, but I still have these outburts or crying, anger
irritable... that is not normal, I feel so sensitive.

Has anyone tried Ortho Evra, the patch?????

I can not tolerate zero sex drive any longer.

Is there a pill that won't do this to me???????
Can any one reccomend a pill that they have been happy with??????????

I know it's hard to say because I guess every pill effects every women
different.
Please help with any suggestions

Sick and tired of Yasmin
