Yasmin and time frame

Funny...Me and my Boyfriend of 3 years just had this big heart to heart today trying to figure out...WHERE MY SEX DRIVE WENT???? So we put two and two together in the time frame is seemed to have been "lost" in, and we came up with YAZ. Thats not why I ended up on this site at 1am though...

As we were lying in bed, I got sudden mild chest pains in my left side and my left arm went numb. All I have ever known about these symptoms is that you are having a heart attack! As I get outta bed Travis says "what are you googling?" Him knowing that I am a hypercondreact!

I had decided today to stop taking the pill not willing to risk my wonderful sex life and relationship. I said goodbye to my wonderful FULL C breasts :( I will keep you posted on my after side effects! Good luck to you brave women!!!

Wow. I found this site after looking up causes for lack of sex drive. I've been on Yasmin for 6 years, but never thought for a minute it had anything to do with the problems I've been having. Loss of sex drive, vaginal dryness, hair loss, mood swings (partners always gets the brunt of those), repeated bouts of chest pains (diagnosed with pleurisy recently, don't know if there is a link).

I had got to the point that I thought this is just the way I am, it never occurred to me that something else could be causing this. I can't even remember what it's like to be normal.

I already have 2 kids and don't want any more at the moment so I don't know what the solution is. Well, I haven't wanted sex for the last few years so i suppose the bloody thing has done its job in that way!

I'm just shocked, this has been a real wake up call. I'm stopping taking the evil little things as of now.

My name is Bobby and I've been dating a girl who has been through some tough times. She took my advice and started taking an antidepressant, Celexa, 5 weeks ago. 3 Weeks after starting the Celexa, we began to have the relationship I always knew we could. I love her so much and for one week I was the Happiest man in the world.
Unfortunately, against my advice she started taking Yaz a week after beginning the Celexa. I told her that beginning two new drugs at once will eliminate the ability to identify which drug is causing which affects whether they be positive or negative.
After 3 weeks of Celexa and 2 weeks of Yaz, my girlfriend started acting alive and excited about life again!! She even started losing weight because of her beautiful new-found energy and zest for everything. She was playful, she was laughing, she was sexual, she was the girl of my dreams and we fell more in love than ever.
One week later (After 4 weeks of Celexa, and after 3 weeks of Yaz) a monster emerged who no longer can stand the sight of me. She doesn't want me to touch her, hug her, or even kiss her. She doesn't sleep at night. She screams and yells at me for being annoying when I'm doing things that once made her smile with love in her eyes.
I found an apartment today and decided to move out... I have never been treated so poorly by anyone in my life before. She's aggressive and verbally abusive. She's been complaining that people are talking about her and she seems paranoid. I made the mistakes of taking steroids a while back and I can tell you she is the monster now that I was then and both Yaz and steroids affect hormone levels and I'm telling you I just can't believe how many relationships this drug must be ruining.
Tonight I took the Yaz and threw all of it out. She got mad at me because she's afraid that she'll stop losing weight... I mean she's just completely lost perspective. I showed her pictures of us happy together and she still chose losing 3 more pounds over our relationship. I'm losing my mind... Just a few weeks ago she reminded me again that she wants to marry me and give me babies. Where has my future wife and future mother of my children gone??

I'M LIVING IN FEAR THAT SHE WILL FIND A WAY TO GET MORE YAZ B4 SHE'S BEEN OFF LONG ENOUGH TO SEE WHAT IT'S TURNED HER INTO.

SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP!!!

I took Yasmin for 2 years and about 6 months after starting Yasmin I started getting migraines at least 3 x per week and sometimes 5 x per week (before not even really getting many normal headaches). I thought it might be my birth control and saw my OB who referred me to a Neurologist who put me on a medicine for migraines. About another 5 months later I noticed I had a small bald spot in my hair line. Saw a Dermatologist who diagnosed it is alopecia. I immediately stopped Yasmin and migraine meds and decided to get an IUD (GREAT CHOICE!) My migraines stopped almost immediately, however my hair loss continues to progress. I now have 3 additionally bald spots on my head and areas on my scalp that are very thin. I feel great otherwise, no headaches, no depression (other than losing my hair), no anxiety, appetite is normal. I'm so desperate to find someone else that has had this specific problem as no one believes the hair loss is connected to Yasmin. I just pray after awhile the hair will grow back. Please if anyone has experienced this same situation please post what might have helped you get through it and if it does ease up! One more thing - I have scalp pain, like burning on the front and top and back part of my scalp, wide spread, not only in the bald areas.

I have been on the pill for only one month and have been experiencing such horrible side effects. I have been on ortho-try in the past and never had any side effects. I wake up throwing up, my breast are constantly hurting and have swollen, constant nausea and stomach pains, not to mention the horrible mood swings. I hope that this crap gets out of my system quickly because I cannot handle this anymore!!
Anyone have any type of time frame or a quick cure for nausea?

I have been on again, off again with yasmin for about nine months. I've been off it for 3 months, but i just started up again less than a week ago! Within a couple days, I felt off: depressed(for no particular reason), nervous, anxious, etc. Because I'm usually a perky, happy-go-lucky person, my family and I decided it was surely because of the pill. I have made an appointment at my gyno and I know I'm going to get off the pill right away, but I'm scared to think that my symptoms will still occur even after I've been off it for awhile. Does anyone have any idea of a time frame? Or advice?

I took Yasmin for about a year and suffered mild (depending on whom you ask) mood swings and then my last prescription ran out and I no longer had insurance. I got my insurance reinstated and got a new presciption of Yasmin. I have been on it for two months now and I am a mess. The nausea daily is so extreme, I might as well be pregnant. I have become so depressed, that I can't control any of my emotions. I cry all the time, can't sleep, and the things that I really like doing, or people I like seeing, I just have no interest in. It's really effecting my personal and work life. My boyfriend of three years even told me today that the last two months I have been a completely different person and not who he fell in love with. If one more person asks me what's wrong, I might just snap. I decided that due to the nausea that I would stop taking Yasmin because I just can't handle it anymore. After reading some of the entries, I think that due to the time frame of when the depression started coinciding with my new presciption, it may have been the right decision to stop. Although, today I feel worse than I ever have.
Does anyone know how long it takes for your body to get back to normal??
Thanks,

Hi there,
second post for me on this site, stopped taking yamin 6wks ago and was wondering if other suffered with the heart palpitatoins for a long time after stopping taking the pill. I seem to be ok but got a peroid 5 days after stopping yasmin and then got my period exactly 21 days after this and by this time frame i would be ovulating now and for 2days the palpitaions have been huge, How long does it take to get out of my system????Does anyone else suffer from this racing heart, took my pulse and its sitting at 88 most times should i be worried??? Or is that i just take mypulse when it seems racing,

Worried.....
