I am about to start yasmine and I was
wondering if anyone has been on it and has
had any bad side effects? I was on depo
and had horrible side effects so I am
hesitant with this new bc. Anyones imput
would really be appreciated!
Ps I am only on it to regulate my periods,
I actually would like to ttc right now but
need to get my body in check first.
Anyone in the same boat?

I took yasmin for 6 months. I recently
switched because I didn't like it. Made
me feel so emotional, I gained weight, I
lost my sex drive, and I just didn't feel
like myself.
But don't let that worry you - every body
is different so it might work great for
you. Good luck!

You think because I had such a horrible
experience with depo that I will also have
a bad time with this? I know that no one
really knows for sure because it is my
body but I am curious if anyone has used
both and can compare.. Thanks in
advanced!

I've been on yasmin for a little over a
month. I haven't had any physical side
effects but I am constantly worried and
over-emotional...Crying or getting angry
for no reason. I'm hoping this goes away
in a couple months.

Hey
i was on depo for bout 4 months...Really
didnt like, had bleeding for like four
weeks continuous, went back on my regualr
pill which is dianette, but my doctor
suggested I try yasmin, I have now been on
yasmin for two months, so far so good.
Did get a little thrush but that may be
from soem antibiotics I was on. Loads of
my friends are dying o go on yasmin
because it is meant to be one with the
least side affects.
Good luck tho, I think you may just be
worrying because of your experiences with
depo,.

My best frien is on yasmine, says the only
side effects were that her boobs hurted a
lot at first but thats it and she says
that now they barely hurt at all and that
shes not had any other side effects shes
been on it for 2 months. Im on the patch
and I actrually would prefer to be on the
pill cuz im spotting all the time and its
so annoying but I know id never remember
to take it on time so I guess this is
better for me.

I just finished my first month and had no
serious side effects. My boobs got a bit
bigger, and my period took a few days to
get started and I now have a yeast
infection but im not entirely sure its
from the pill.

I'm on my third month of yasmin. I
didn't have many physical side effects.
I got very very mild cramps, hardly
noticeable, and I had increased headaches,
but I tend to get headaches nearly every
day anyway, so that may not have been
yasmin's fault. Yasmin did make me
incredibly emotional though. I'd get mad
at the drop of a pin, change my mood
really quickly, and burst into tears.
It's gotten better now though and I don't
notice it much anymore.
I also haven't been able to orgasm and
i've heard that some people on birth
control find it harder to do so...But i'd
never had sex before I started birth
control so this inability could have
absolutely nothing to do with yasmin. I
have no idea about that.

Yasmin really messed me up emotionally and
physically. My heart would race
constantly and I refused to leave my room
most nights. I had no idea what was going
on with me until I found this site: http://www.Medications.C
om/go/se/yasmin that pretty much saved
me. Not to mention, i'm a singer, and
most users of yasmin experience a lowering
of their vocal range, which screwed me up.
Everyone is different though so it might
be the perfect pill for your specific
chemistry.
Good luck!

Yuck On the Yasmin
Posted: 08-26-05 03:08am

My family owns a pharmacy so I can tell
you first hand that most patients who go
on yasmin have similar complaints...Mainly
the loss of sex drive. I, too, had the
same problem and switched to ortho evra
(patch). Not sure that I love it aside
from the fact that I am not pregnant and I
don't have to remember to swallow stupid
pills every day. Nonetheless, you might
like it. Yasmin works for some and not
for others...
I've seen the least amount of complaints
with the good ol' fashioned ortho tri
cyclen and the ortho tri cyclen lo.
Good luck

I'm only on the beginning of week 2 of
taking my first pack of yasmin and I
already hate it!!!! I have no libido, I
couldn't get aroused if johnny depp told
me he'd be my willing sex slave, I have
bursted into tears over nothing twice and
have had my period for a week and a half
straight.
Everyone's body is different but this is
the third kind of bc that i've ever tried
and have never had side effects like this!
I have also been on alesse - that messed
w/ my head. I was either crying or
getting pissed off for no reason (only
positive physical side effects). And
loestrin - that was great! I'm thinking
of asking to be put back on that. (the
reason I stopped that one is completely
unrelated to the pill's performance)

I actually hated depo and yasmin was great
after the nausia subsided. I don't know
the exact reason for it but I had morning
sickness type stomach pains for 3 months
almost streight but I liked it eventually
(the pill not the pain.)

Yasmine

My doc recently suggested yasmine, first
for birthcontrol, and then she said that
it would help decrease the oiliness in my
skin, and minimize the growth of excess
body hair. Any one heard of this ?

If it works for you, then great! I
personally can't handle the fact that I
have absolutely no sex drive whatsoever.
And physically I feel nothing in my most
sensitive places. Frankly, the pill
freaks me out and I can't wait to start
the new pills next month.

Yasmine Pill

okay yasmine pill, I would not recommend
at all. I have been on it for 8 months and
never felt so depressed in all my life. I
am changing my pill tomorrow as it has
really got me down. I have been off the
pill for the past month and never felt so
on top of the world, so do not want to go
on that at all ever again, They say
doctors do not like recommending the pill
to anyone as it is such an expensive pill
for them to produce and it is meant to be
the new pill to go on as it doesnt have
bad side affects.
Trust me, it does! I would strongly
recommend keeping clear of this pill.
Dianet isnt meant to be very good either,
it causes emotional problems.
I have heard femodene is meant to be a
very good pill to go on, which is what I
will be changing it to. My sex drive has
completely gone as well girls! Hope this
helps.

the sensitive nipples and a couple
pimples.

I was using Yasmin for 3 years without any
side effect.
I stop it 3 months ago because I'm
planning to have a baby but the bad news
is that the acne is coming back.
It's look like Yasmin made a good job
keeping my face skin in great condition.
Do you have any idea about a medication
that help me with the acne problem?

i have been on yasmin for three months and
i hav been EXTREMELY over emotional the
day before my period. often being set off
by the smallest thing i will start cryinig
for seemingly no reason in front of
everyone. i think it has also made my
boobs bigger, something that i definitely
dont need! i went on the pill because i
used to get really bad cramping so bad
that i wud hav vomiting and hav to go home
from work and it has really helped with
that and helped to regulate my period as
well as clear my skin. i think i will try
to find another pill because id rather hav
the cramping than hav my family think im
depressed!

I'm starting Yasmin on my next cycle,
switching from ortho tri cyclen lo. I find
i have bad skin and mood swings on ortho
and ortho lo and the Dr. said Yasmin would
probably clear up my skin. I tried to find
something about Yasmin and acne but it
seems that Yaz is the one that helps acne.
Maybe i was put on the wrong one?

I'm emotional on Yasmin as well, much
crying, but then I may just be
over-emotional at the moment.
My skin has been excellent and I don't
have any of the side-effects that the
other ladies have mentioned.
I think the way you react to different
Pills realy depends on your individual
hormone levels, (I've only heard bad
things about depo though, so not going
there!).
The only Pill I've had problems with was
Diane (Brenda is the generic brand), it
gave me REALY bad cramps and I turned into
a "psyco from hell" the whole time I was
on it.
