wow, it has recently come to my attention that there are serious side effects with yasmin. i have been on this pill now for 4 years and suffer from serious migraines which in turn affect my eyes. I have never experienced these before i started taking the pill but never put it together. also, i have strange vision problems and sometimes feel disoriented. this is so scary and i can't believe that this pill is still available and being prescribed. a friend of mine just told me that her friend had a stroke just recently and the cause was from taking yasmin. Also, to the woman who asked about sudden joint problems that sprung up out of nowhere, yes, i do all of a sudden have joint issues in my toes. Arthritis. I also have had pimples on the vagina. it seems like a lot of women are experiencing the same types of problems with this pill and am so glad to finally know that i am not crazy for feeling like something just isn't quite right. thank you for all of your posts.

I stopped taking Yaz one week ago after two years of taking the pill and before that I was on Depo for ten years. While on Yaz I had blurred vision, dehabilitating migraines, leg cramps, insomnia, now after stopping it, I did have HEAVY bleeding for four days, I am currently experiencing numbness, tingling and cramping in my arms and legs, insomnia. This is very scary after reading all of the posts that I have found. I went to GNC and bought vitamins and minerals with mangesium and started taking them right away, I also called my primary dr to let him know what is going on! Please pray that I do not have a stroke or blood clots! Hope this helps anyone who is wondering!

I have been on Yasmin for about two years now. I just got off a couple days ago because I just haven't been feeling myself. Strange rushes to my head, stomach cramping and just overall extremely tired. It scares me to hear about all of the terrible things this drug has done to people and I am thrilled I am off - even if it for just two days so far. I'll keep you in the loop on if I am feeling better or worse in the weeks to come.

OMG, just reading the Yasmin posts.....I was on it for about 3 years and when i was on it;
my skin was perfect,
i had ZERO sex drive,
i had to get glasses,
i exercised heaps but lost no weight,
and my hair thinned A LOT!
Now off it, my hair is thin, and it doesn't seem to grow...I never thought it may of been due to the pill! My skin is also really bad now, pimples everywhere! BUT ive lost heaps of weight (yey).
I was going to go back on it because of the pimples, but after reading this i think ill re-think that one!

I've been on Yasmin for about 5 years now and I have not had any side effects. If anything, its cleared my skin! I really don't think Yasmin is as bad as everyone is making it out to be, it just has different effects on everyone.

Hi, I've been on Yasmin 2 and a half years now an I've started getting some small side effects.
I have started becoming nauses at random times in the day and have been getting period like pains even though I'm not on my period.
I have also been very emotional at specific times throughout the month, this has been happeniog for about a year.
Can anyone advise what pill has worked for them after they have been using Yasmin.
I've been reading about Mercilon. Any ideas?
Thanks

I was on Yaz for more than 2 years. Last week I was hospitalized for blood clots in my arm and lungs- I am having to be on blood thinners for at least 6 months and have blood taken twice a week. I am healthy in every other way- except overweight- and have no history or other factors that would cause blood clots , except this pill. I would strongly recommend looking at other alternatives for birth control or to help with other symptoms than taking this drug. There is a lawsuit filed against Bayer for this product causing clots. This was life threatening, I was very lucky it was found and treated quickly. Please do your homework. If I had read more erlier, I never would have stayed on this pill for so long. don't take a chance with your life- it's not worth it!

I just recently started yazin about a week ago and already I am ready to just stop taking it. It has literally been the worst week of my life. I feel like I am about to throw up all the time. I cannot eat anything without having horrible diarrhea. I feel like I have become lactose intolerant over night. I feel like c**p all day. I have no sex drive what so ever. Again I seriously feel like I'm about to puke all the time. My eye sight has gotten 100x's worse. There have been times where it felt like someone picked me up and shook me. My eyes are seriously going crazy. I am constantly hungry but I can't eat anything because I know what will happen. I want this out of my system now. I hate it. I need a better option. Can someone please help?

After hearing what you all are going through, I think I am going to ask for an alternative prescription. I am taking Yasmin for moodiness and anger issues due to an out of whack thyroid. I've been on Yasmin for a little over a year and a half. I have noticed that before I took Yasmin I had great blood pressure and when I went running I got hot and sweaty just like everyone else, but nothing major. Now, however, I run for a very short amount of time and I have to stop, not because I am tired, but because I get such a bad headache. My face gets so red that I can't even get it back to normal for over an hour and a half and it feels like I have a terrible fever. I feel like I am overheating. In addition, I now have worse blood pressure than my parents. My mother has high blood pressure and my dad just had a double bypass because of two blocked arteries. I am guessing that, with my family history, this drug may not be the best for me. I hope you all well and maybe someone will get this all figured out.

I'm turning 23 this October and I've been on Yasmin since I was 16. YUP! First and only BC. I thought I was a failure and slowly dying while going crazy until I saw a commercial about the effects of YAZ and Yasmin and how there is a class action lawsuit against their pharmaceutical company.
Year 1: Throwing up, awful morning sickness. I persevered. It was good for the first year. Never had decreased sex drive.
Years 2-6: Moodiness, migraines, pain behind my eyes, fatty tumors in leg and arm, weight gain, severe depression to the point where I tried to end myself, cramps got WORSE, spotted bleeding or spotting globs of blood, fuzzy feeling, restlessness, soreness in breasts and body, ENDOMETRIOSIS.
Take my advice. Use a condom.
