I've just started taking Yazmin again for the 3rd time. The first time I took it I was on it for two years and when I split up with my partner I decided to take a break from it. It wasnt until I went back onto it again after about 8months I started getting very moody and decided to stop taking it to see if it made a difference. Within a few months I was back to my usual self. After a miscarriage during this year I decided to take things easy and go back onto the pill for a while. I am now on my second pack and I feel terrible. I am very depressed, my body is very sore and I am extremely thirsty and nauseous. The slightest little thing bothers me which is not usually the case. I have read through quite a few of these comments and I can relate to a lot of them, thank goodness I thought I was going mad. All I hear is good things about Yasmin, which I am sure is the case for a lot of women but it just does not seem to work for me.

This was the most appauling medication I have ever taken. It made me incredibly irritable. I almost split up with my boyfriend because I was so unbearable to be around, and also got painful, recurring urinary tract infections. If you're female steer well clear of this one!

Ladies, I feel like an intruder for being the only male posting a comment on this site. But the thing is, I'm desperate. My girlfriend began taking Yasmin this beginning of this year, and i believe it's one of the main reasons I'm seriously considering ending a 3yr relationship. Since she began using Y, she's become a different person - a lot more emotionally unstable, and sorry to say quite self-absorbed. Her sex drive is almost non-existent, but that's not the hard part tho. It's the fact that when i hold her tight she often doesn't even put her arms around me, physical affection has decreased so much I often find myself thanking her when she touches me......when did it become an effort to show love?
She's become very distant on more than one level, and i swear she doesn't wanna be with me anymore but just too scared to break my heart.
I have suggested that this pill could be the cause of loss of her libido (can you imagine a guy addressing this issue with his gf), but she denied the possibility. I've done a fair amount of research and I can't believe how many women this so-called miracle drug is affecting them in these ways.
She's honestly the love of my life, the only girl I want but not the person she is now. I've never allowed myself to become dependent on a woman to make me happy, but I'm very weak for her. I've spoken to her about my feelings a number of times but things are not improving.
Any advice for a hopeless fool would be much appreciated.
