Yasmin Stress Anxiety, Male Doctors, Female Doctors, Mom Works, That They Tend

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.
