Informational posts symptoms and conditions

Hi everyone,

I too had BP of 140/100 (or MORE) when I was on Yasmin. My face was extremely bloated - looked like I had 3 chins and a very round face. My hair fell out in clumps when I was on Yasmin - now my hair is fine and I don't "shed".

After quitting Yasmin, it took a few weeks, and the facial bloating was GONE! When the doc saw me she said "half your face is gone" :-) My family cannot believe that my face looks so different.

My BP now is 110/80 average. I do not take BP medicine and I do not take BCP any more.

My chest pains are for the most part GONE!!! They really had me scared.

I am on Paxil CR 12.5mg once per day for the extreme anxiety that I have which I attribute to taking Yasmin for about 9 months. I also have trouble staying asleep at night. I have observed that my anxiety is peaking when my pd is due.

I had an anxiety/panic attack on Dec. 21, 2005 and I took my last Yasmin in late January 2006.

Thank you all for your informational posts and concern. I had a few minutes so I thought I'd post an update.

PS- I think that the manufacturer better read this site and DO SOMETHING!!!!
