Problems w/ Yasmin, switched to LoEstrin
| Wed, 12-13-2006 - 12:45pm |
Hey all. I was on Yasmin for nearly 2 years, and in the last 6 months I've had MAJOR problems. Chronic yeast infections, bacterial infections, UTIs (all of which I have never had prior to these past 6 months), and GI problems (just went to the GI doctor recently for a lovely little inspection.. notice my sarcasm). When I began spotting for 3 weeks straight, my obgyn linked all these complications to Yasmin. I went to askapatient.com, and it appears many other women are experiencing these side effects, and some worse (anxiety, panic attacks, depression). Anyway, just wanted to throw that out there, in case anyone is having these problems, and is not aware that Yasmin could be linked to them. Anyway, my obgyn switched me to LoEstrin 24 FE... this is a fairly new pill as well, so I am kind of nervous that the same thing is going to happen to me again. Does anyone know much about LoEstrin 24 Fe??? I just hope this does not make me more moody or increase my hunger cravings. Any input would be great. THANKS!!!!

FYI- I had problems with Yasmin too. moodiness, headaches, anxiety. I am now trying Yaz. moodiness and headaches , oh and major breast soreness, just as I had with Yasmin, so I don't recommend Yaz, just in case you were thinking of it
