Right after I take it, I drop to sleep or feel faint if I try to stay awake. It's really scary because I have a 3 yr old at home with me who needs my constant attention. I have started taking it at night. Also I work for a call in crisis center and for the first month on it I just could not force myself to listen ot others troubles. Normally I am a very compassionate and patient person. I was irritable, edgy, and actually began seeing the callers as draining. I love my job and love being a friend to others, all this dried up. I had a severe hormonal reaction after the birth of my daughter and Yasmin was supposed to be the magic cure. How are you supposed to work on this stuff? I have eaten dinner out somewhere rather than cook because I find the kitchen overwhelming. The household chores have gone amiss where before I was very organized and tidy. I just cannot find the energy. Then the fog would wear off in the evenings and I stay up too late. One morning determined to conquor the "drowsies" I drank a water glass heavy duty dark coffee and still literally dropped off in a coma like sleep. I notice they are strong after I eat as well. I am on my second month and reluctant to give it up because I have been suffering with so many other hormonal issues prior to taking it!

hi guest 36095.
i also still get chest pains,i have been off yasmin for 8 months. i only seem to get them either around ovulation or menstruation but it feels like someone is sitting on my chest or like i have broken my ribs or something. i also get a sensation of not being able to get enough air sometimes. these sensations are linked to hormone imbalances and hopefully they like all the other wierd and not so wonderfull symptoms will go away.
