This is my last week of Yasmine as well. I've been using Y for 3 mos and have experienced drastic mood changes, increased anxiety, and lowered sex drive. I've been waiting (& hoping) for it to improve after the 3 mos "adjustment" period, but cannot take the anxiety any longer. I can't stop crying, over-reacting or feeling "crazy", as my boyfriend affectionately terms my actions.
The positive side is my migraines have significantly subsided. My ob/gyn switched me from NuvaRing after 1.5 yrs due to the increased migraines. (one every month or so in the beginning to at least 4 per week).
I've tried many others and feel lost as to what to try next. We're going to try condoms, but it's caused strife in my relationship b/c he can't get past the loss of sensation on his part. I need sanity to function again and will continue research. I'm also looking for something that won't affect my skin (melasma) as much. I'm 30 & have been off/on various bc pills since I was 18.
Thanks to all for the informative posts & encouragement I've gleaned from simply reading & knowing others experience the same madness! Best wishes to all, Monica
