Well, it's good to know I, as well, am not going crazy on these pills. My gyno has me on pills for what he thinks (and I just know...) is endometriosis. This is pill #4 in about 8 months, and thank goodness I'm going on something different starting Sunday. The first ones I was on, Cryselle (generic) made me into a hysterical disaster, Orthocyclene landed me in counseling I became such a basketcase and was completely out of control, Apri caused me to develop a real bad heart murmur and severe chest problems. At first I thought Yasmin was alright, then I had a 12 day long period, my boobs feel like they weigh about 32 pounds, everything I wear is tight, even though I work out more than ever, and my sex drive is below zero. My poor boyfriend just returned to our college from studying abroad for four months, and he came home to this! I have absolutely no sex drive whatsoever, and it's very frustrating. I'm really glad I found this website, because this pill has been starting to take a serious toll on me. I, too, am starting to wonder if there are any good pills out there. On Sunday I start taking Kariva...if anyone knows anything about this please let me know! Good luck ladies!

Chest pain, heart palps...felt like I was having a heart attack...but no..just the Singulair. I breathe just great when I take it, but the side effects are too scarey..used to take it at night, but the dreams were too intense. Switched to a.m. but then had the chest problems..just not worth it...I'd rather not breathe. Advair does not work as well, neither does Allegra

Hey, I was on this pill for 3 years and over the last year and a half I have had chest problems, developing into heart palpitations over the last couple of months, I had to have a heart monitor on for a week and had the results today, my heart is perfectly healthy it was in fact the YASMIN tablets!!
-- By jemma340 | Reply | Private Message meSo today my doctor has changed my pill and said I should notice a difference in the next month or so.
Not only was I having chest problems and heart palpitations, I have been told I was so snappy and grumpy, I was tired most of the time, always felt weepy and generally down in the dumps.
My advice, try this tablet as it may be different for you but a lot of people on here have had similar symptoms.
GOODBYE YASMIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
