Ocassional symptoms and conditions

Hello everybody. My wife had been complaining about side effects from the pill but I had been very skeptical. After seeing so many testimonials I'm pretty shocked. I now stand by her decision to get off Yasmin and possibly oral contraceptives altogether if need be. She is very happy she found this site, and quite frankly, so am I.
Her symptoms are reduced sex drive, tenderness in her breasts, blurred vision (she thought she needed lasik surgery again), muscle pain all over and ocassional dizziness. Does anyone know if these are all due to Yasmin or are common to all pills? Please comment.
She has been on Yasmin for 6 weeks and had been on another pill (Diane, Etinil Estradiol) for 3 months before that. She's 26 and had never used any pills before those.

Hello there. My wife showed me this site today and it's pretty shocking what Yasmin has done to several of you. I had been very skeptical about side effects of the pill in general, but seeing so many testimonials made me reconsider. I'm now standing by my wife's decision to at least get off Yasmin and possibily oral contraceptives all together if need be.
Her symptoms were decreased sex drive, tenderness in her breasts, blurred vision (she thought she needed lasik surgery again) muscle pain all over and ocassional dizziness. I'm hoping these symptoms are related to Yasmin and not all pills? Any comments on that?
She has only been on Yasmin for 1 month and was on another pill Diane (Etinil estradiol) for 3 months before that, she had never used any pills before and she is 25.

Hi - I have been taking Aciphex for just over a week and have noticed that I have muscle aches in my arms and legs with ocassional pins and needles and that my face tingles. I was begining to think I had some other major illness but it just sounds like the medicine. Do many of you have the same?

So far Yasmin has been the best birth control that I have been on. I have tried Depo Provera. That was hell and I have tried Ortho Tri Cyclen. That was also hell. I had really bad depression with Ortho Tri Cyclen to the point where I had to be on Anti-Depressants. While I was on Depo I was just a complete bitch. I was so angry that I would break things and cry all the time. Now I am on Yasmin and I have been for almost a month. It is funny that I came upon this site because I was looking for the side effect that I experienced last night. I was fooling around with my boyfriend and he was sucking on my nipples and suddenly I just freaked out and immediately got out of the mood. I felt also like in my mind that he was forcing me into sexual things when he was not even saying a word to me. We were just being intimate the way we usually do. Nothing had changed. I also thought of him as a bad guy that was trying to hurt me when all this happened. I started feeling like I was going to have a mental breakdown or something. I was feeling depressed and thinking that I was going to start to feel like guys were hurting me and that I had to constantly protect myself from anyone although nobody could be around me and I was still fearing that I would feel like this. After about 20 minutes, I was feeling better and I could not even understand why I had felt that way. I even ended up being intimate with my boyfriend that night. I just told him that he could not play with my nipples. Another side effect that I experienced on the same day was that my whole body was tense. It did not hurt but it felt like I had been working out non-stop to feel like that. The funny thing is that I did not do any extensive exercise. So besides the ocassional moodswings with the pill I got hit hard with terrible side effects all in one day. I only hope that things will get better for me if I continue to stay on Yasmin for another couple of months.
