Yasmin and sodium

I started taking Yasmine in 2005 and almost imeemdiatley I started to have severe anxiety, depression, no sex drive at all and worse of all extremely bad migranes especially a few days before getting my period and during. My life had to be put on hold when I had my period because of the migranes. I stopped taking the Yasmine 3 weeks ago because I just couldn't take the migranes anymore. I have noticed I have gained some weight, my skin and hair feels alot oilier, and my hair has been falling out more than usual which is kind of freaking me out, don't have mood swings. My sex drive has gotten better which is a relief. I still don't know if my migranes will have gone away during my period. I'm just curious can anyone tell me if these side effects (hair loss, weight gain, oily skin) will go away after a few months.
When I went off another type of pill I actually lost weight, why is this one different?

I had a complete metabolic check and all of my counts were fine except my sodium was down 1 point I only took Yaz for 3 weeks byt it screwed me up!

Iam still not the same me and I have been off 7 weeks now.

I was anemic going into Yaz can you believe my doctor gave me Yaz knowing I had Anemia so that may be why Iam sufferring more thean some. My iron is back up 10 12.8 now but it was low when I went on Yaz.

Thoughts

I took Yasmin for the last 2.5 years. Over time, I came to recognize major side effects that I am still very concerned about to include: Popping of eardrums. Exhaustion. Sensation of paralysis following taking it and lying down. Constant running to the bathroom to urinate (due to droperinone which acts as a diuretic), developed heart murmur and pain across my chest (squeezing sensations). Major change in vision in the right eye within 6 months. Painful pressure in both ears due to this pills increase of potassium in your body. Ears would pop for two hours after I took the pill.

I have been off of Yasmin for 2 months, initially went onto its sister/cousin Yaz and felt just as terrible so I went off of that as well.

A Hearing Aide doctor actually told me that oral contraceptives have been known for a long time to be "odo-toxic". Which means-toxic to the inner ear. How come prescribing Gynecologists, Doctors and pharmacists don't know this?

The synthethic hormone in YASMIN AND YAZ -dirosperone increases potassium levels in the body. Inner ear is composed of a potassium and sodium fluid. An inbalance in this fluid would likely cause pressure in the ear. I had to learn the majority of this information from people other than the prescribing doctor, an RN or the pharmacist.

The difference with Yasmin is that it contains a different form of hormone...and the diuretic effect...this is why it is recommended that those taking Yasmin get regular blood work done...the diuretic will deprive your body of sodium..and potassium.....causing heart problems, arrythmias....leg cramping... I wonder how many people are getting their blood work done....Ive been taking Yasmin now for 8 months....the only effect I have noticed is that my sex drive has waned a bit....but virtually all BC pills do that....I dont think it should be banned because some people are having problems with it...its been a pretty decent pill for me so far...everyone reacts differently to medications...so if its not working for you, try something else...
