I am on Yasmin and also take Adderall (but I'm on 80 mg a day...yeah, its a lot). The fast heartbeat is likely due to the Adderall, even though you said you've been on it for awhile. Also, a fast heartbeat, joint pains, and headaches could also signal that you are dehydrated, so maybe you should increase your water intake and see if it helps. Both Yaz and Yasmin have a high potassium content; something you might want to look into further as a cause of your side effects.
I recently went back on Yasmin 6 months ago, after having been off of it for a year (before that, I was on Yasmin for 4 years), and my severe cystic acne went away FINALLY. I think you should stay on Yasmin for 6 months until you make the final decision. Going off is harder than you think because there are side effects that come with that as well--such as oily skin and hair, lots of hair loss, cystic acne, etc.
Sorry if this reply is a bit random and unorganized, as I am studying for an economics exam I have tomorrow. If you have any questions, feel free to message me! |
