Believe the hype symptoms and conditions

just wanted to post the address again for uk residents to report side effects and adverse reactions of yasmin. it is www.mhra.gov.uk about half way down on the right hand side of the home page is a bit that says yellow card report side effect.click that. if you want to look up previous reports look on the download side effect link and select drosperinone (the main ingredient of yasmin) it makes for interesting reading to say the least! please please ladies if you haven't already done this do it as soon as you can,it takes minutes and could spare another lady the nightmare we have all been through. with more and more doctors prescribing this pill we have to try and speak out. i came across a site that is suggesting yasmin as a treatment for pms....how many women are going to believe the hype and end up on here distressed and ill ???????? we may not be able to stop this drug being prescribed but the more people we can warn about the possible effects the better.

I was on the "miracle birth control pill" Yasmin for three months, the typical amount of time you're to give a new bc pill. Anyone stating that they've been on it for 1 week, 2 weeks, etc. need to give it time to get into your system. Not saying it will be bad, but it takes awhile to get in there. Anyway, my side effects weren't that noticeable to me. But to my new boyfriend they were. And he pointed them out to me and researched the pill for me. And guess what? They're all side effects commonly known for with Yasmin. The no sex drive, the unbearable mood swings (I mean I was psycho!!), the bloatedness, the acne around the chin, the upset stomachs/diarrhea, headaches, etc. No, not every pill is for every woman, but I think they should of done a lot more research with this one. Granted I will give them the fact that the main reason I went on this pill was to stop my breakthrough bleeding. It did stop that, and only having my period for 2-3 days was pleasant. But not the rest!! And for those who think that this pill makes you lose weight, don't believe the hype. It's only been proven that you can lost ONE POUND being on this pill. Drink enough water and you can lose that normally!
