Losing hair after stopping Yasmin b.c.?!?

Question

I was on Yasmin for 3 years.  After 1.5 years on it with good results I was hit with number of side effects the worst of which were heart palpitations, complete loss of libido and chronic U.T.I.s always followed by yeast infections.  It's been 5 months now since I stopped taking that horrible pill and I have stopped having all of those nasty side effects,  however now my hair is falling out.  I am a healthy 27-year-old!  I looked into this syptom online and apparently it's yet ANOTHER Yasmin problem!! Something about hormonal imbalance...  I'm kind of freaking out.  Has anyone else experienced this?  Please share your story... Do you know how long it will take for my body to fully recooperate?

Thanks!!

Oh my! I've heard of a couple of women who had heart palpitations too. That's frightening! I hate birth control pills because they whack us out, so I have been avoiding them the last few years, and I just use an alternate method of birth control...

As far as the hair, this popped into my mind... It's autumn (or spring in australia) and that is a time when we tend to shed our hair more. That could be happening to you, and it could be exaggerated because of the Yasmin. I'd talk to someone who is an expert about birth control pills (planned parenthood or an OB/GYN), 'cause your general practitioner (especially if it's a male) may be full of *ahem*.

Good luck!

It is due to a hormonal balance and you stopping the Yasmin. It may take a couple of months for your system to straighten itself out. Don't panic, however, if you keep having problems you need to notify your OB/GYN.

You probably the hormone imbalance. Since you stopped the medicine.  It will take time to return normal. If I were you check your doctor.

People can loose hair after taking some medicines. I'm sorry, this has happened to you. But you can reduce it by making diferent masks for hairs at home:
