I also experienced difficulties with Yasmin. Immediately after I began taking it, my blood pressure shot up to a dangerous level. I have always had low blood pressure. I immediately stopped taking the Yasmin, but my doctor (a very good doctor, by the way) told me it couldn't be the Yasmin (although there was nothing else to blame it on). My blood pressure returned to normal, and since the doctor didn't think Yasmin caused my problem, I gave it another shot. I ended up in the doctor's office within a few days, with a heavy chest, having trouble breathing. Again, there was nothing else to blame it on. I don't have the doctor convinced that Yasmin is a problem, but I will never try it again! My problems were just too "coincidental" with my taking Yasmin.

terrible itchy rash over entire body after about a week's use; low, bordering on dangerous, level of platelet count.

I wrote in December, described the cough, my problems with this drug, I was on 40 mg prescribed from my cardiologist, I went to see my doctor last week, she increased me to 80 mg, bp was lower, but not enough, she had blood drawn, I think maybe by the grace of god, I did not start taking the higher dose yet, this morning I get an urgent call, from my Cardiologist office, to stop the Lisinopril immediately, I am now scared to death, and scared for my life, they said the Lisinopril, is effecting my kidney function, my kidney function lab work is way up, now I am going cold turkey with this medication, hoping my bp does not reach a dangerous level, need more blood work, a visit to cardiologist next week, and now a visit to a urologist, I am scared to death, I feel like crying WTF!
