about the weight gain after getting off:
YES, I'm suffering from a huge weight gain since getting off Yasmin, too!!! I don't eat more than before or do anything else different than before!!
My opinion: Yasmin has got an antidiureticum in it, which should help to get all the water out of your body, so that it's now, after getting off this "antidiureticum" which your body got used to over the years (in my case 5 HORRIBLE years!!), all the cells which have been diswatered now just the more retain all the water they can get.
OMG I hope you can understand what I'm saying, sorry, but my english is not as good as i would wish to tell you everything about this "Yasmin-Shit"!!!
Well, that's what I experienced about my body since getting off. Horrible cellulitis all over my legs and bell and even my arms!! My doctor has got the same opinion as me but he also is thinking positive about that, because he thinks that every pound I have gained now will disappear, when my hormones are finally back in balance. And that might last a few months...
Well, I believe in him, not to get rid about these "after Yasmin symptoms" as well as on the "during Yasmin symptoms".
I think we all should be glad, if we can get our health back completely and not be to worried about the pounds we might gain now... I know it's hard (I was a very fit and slim person before taking Yasmin!!!), but we'll get over that all!!! I'm sure!!
Something else: Yesterday I was so angry again about this pill and especially its german website which still tells about Yasmin as a real wonder drug that I wrote an E-Mail to the "Schering AG", the german sales department of Yasmin!!! I wrote down all my thoughts and experiences and especially that Yasmin nearly had ruined my life!! I wonder if I will get any answer from there....
Ok, enough for today. Please every lady off Yasmin keep us updated on how you're doing!!! It's still this website which on somedays is the only way to keep me alive and going on through this "after Yasmin torture"!!!
All the best to you out there!!

I went on yasmin about 2 years ago, right before I started my current relationship. Everything in my relationship was perfect, we never fought, it was just amazing. About 4 months into the relationship I started to pick fights with him, about everything possible. I was becoming depressed, insecure, and my anxiety level is at a constant high....still, I didn't realize any of this until this month. About 3 months ago I started getting my migrains back before and during my period...this month, my cramps came back. I kicked my boyfriend as hard as I could last week, and I couldn't tell you why, I immidiately started crying and saying sorry, and hugging him. This pill, I've come to realize, has almost completely ruined my life. It's almost ended my wonderful relationship with the love of my life several times. This month was the final straw, I thought maybe I had pmdd, I looked up the symptoms and realized that was not what I had, then I thought to look up side effects of my birth control, and I found this site...many of the girls mention twitching, headaches, crazy mood swings, treating their spouses awful, sleeping all the time and still feeling tired. I have been suffering from all these symptoms for a long time now. I am stopping this pill IMMIDIATELY! It has ruined far too much of my life. I'm so glad I found this website, I now know I'm not crazy. Now I can go back to being the happy, fun, and friendly girl I really am!
