Forum post symptoms and conditions

I am really getting more and more upset and frusturated reading these women's posts. Just today on teh "forum" post (see above-3 different ways to communciate about Yasmin)a 20 year old who had never been on a bcp got a pulmonary embolism two monhts on Yasmin!!!

Then I read Tricia's post and it makes me angry. How do we stop this stuff and stop the harming of more women!!!

And I got these damn tests back today from an RN who really doesn't know anything about Yasmin, high rates of potassium and suggested I find out an OBGYN and a Doctor! This is making me nuts. I keep finding inofrmation on the web that starts to add up. I know Yasmin increases potassium in the blood-but I went from 4.2 in Dec. 2005 to 5.7 Jan. 2007? One year? And I"ve been off of it for 3 months? The chest pains started in May 2006.

My breasts hurt. I have chest pain and going on 5th month of bronchitis like symptoms every menstruation! What the hell?

Hello Everybody-
Just writing to send thanks to everyone who has shared their hard times on this forum post-Yasmin. I was on the pill for 7 months (the first four of which were fine) until I got tired of my life feeling so out of control and finally gave them up. I just kind of snapped one day and have not been the same since. I read some of these posts about the depression, psychoticness and uncontrollable crying, and I think for a minute that I wrote them. It's been almost three months since I stopped Yasmin, but I can't really tell if I'm getting any better. I hear three months is supposed to be the turn-around point, but that marker is quickly approaching, and I guess I'm hoping for a miracle. To the girl who posted a while back about blurry vision and eye troubles, I've got eye pain/pressure and difficulty wearing contacts. I never attributed the eye issues to Yasmin, but maybe... Well, I guess that's all. Good luck to everyone who is in the same boat as I am... I hear it gets better from here, but I can't be sure.
