Yasmin and stress anxiety

Hi there!
I have to say, I am so happy that I have found this website. I feel like I'm crazy!! I have been taking Yasmin for a little over a year or so and within the past two month I have noticed significant stress, anxiety, depression (which I have NEVER experienced in my life). Although, over the past year I have noticed I have been tired, overall low energy, and snappy for no reason. Really high strung. I never knew why.

I do have to ask though, those of you who have stopped taking, or switched from Yasmin...have you noticed a shift in mood for the better? Have you noticed a difference in depression? I am planning to make an appointment for my OB/GYN tomorrow to get off this pill. I just want some hope that things will indeed get better, you know??

Dear Jen

My Thyroid elevated quite high when I came off the Yaz I thought I was having heart attack
I had it last checked a month and half ago and it was 0.89

I dont know I too was wondering where it is at now
Maybe should have it checked again

Wish I understood what is making us all feel this way
Hormones?
Thyroid?
Stress?Anxiety?
Depression?

Which is it what is it???

I have tried so much
Just got adrenal support vitamins today and whole foods B6
Trying the vitamins now

Cant fall asleep on my own is so terrible

Does anyone else have insomnia or the problem where you cant fall asleep

Dejay had it the same as me but the Lexapro I believe made her gain her sleep back.

Is anyone else out there taking antidepressants and it helped alot

Dejay was a mess and the Lexapro has her out everyday and functioning pretty well and sleeping

I tried Lexapro for 4 weeks and it nearly killed me

My doctor wants me to try Celexa a mild version thinks it would help alot but Iam terrified

Anyone know?

I have been taking yasmin for about 8 months now and have developed a lot of the symptoms that you girls have posted. I was wondering if anyone else has developed Acid Reflux while on this pill. I never had trouble with heartburn or acid reflux at all in the past and suddenly I have full blown symptoms and on daily medication for it. Of course reflux disease can be exacerbated by stress/anxiety. Great. I have 2 pills left in the pack and then i'm going off. I'm glad to have read these posts before attempting to go off it should I develop more side effects. Here goes nothing!!!!!

ALL WHO HAVE RECENTLY STOPPED YASMIN, LETS KEEP EACH OTHER POSTED FOR SUPPORT!

Thank you for your feedback VOICE. I have been really scared about how I have been feeling lately. I can get over not having a period and the acne, but the hair loss (since stopping Yasmin 8 weeks ago) and anxiety/depression it has caused is HORRIBLE! I have never felt this bad for this long in my entire life. I keep trying to tell myself that each month will get better, but each time I see a clump of hair fall out, I start panicking and getting depressed again. I don't know if the hormones are just making me more emotional, but I have been crying at the drop of a hat lately. I have always wondered if I had PCOS. I asked about that, but my GYN said I may or may not have it and that there is no real diagnosis and that it's just based on symptoms. Well...HELLO...then wouldn't you think she would have asked about my symptoms to see if I fit the CRITERIA! I am definitely switching GYNs. I think I'll go back to a male GYN I have seen in the past. My sister and mom love him (and my mom works for the health plan I have and says he's the best). I should have just stayed with him, but I thought I would feel more comfortable with a woman. I know a lot of women think that female doctors are better, but my history has always been that they tend to minimize my problems/symptoms more. I have found male doctors to be more thorough and sympathetic. I have a male GI, have recently switched to a male PCP and they have really done the most for me. The female docs have all told me my problems are from stress/anxiety and that I need to see a therapist.
