Worstpills org symptoms and conditions

Yes, I reported my side effects to the FDA as well as to Berlex. its really important to do so. I don't know how else we'll get this off the market. I've been horrified with how many and how horrible they have suffered. It is disgusting actually. I am 2/3 reading Kevin Trudeau's book on Natural Cures-and honestly at first I thought it just wreaked of Conspiracy Theory and now, I am learning that so much of what he's documenting is true! For example-CODEX-this will take all our vitamins and natural supplements and make them only available through and by prescription! Talk about monopoly. I hear that this is already the case in Europe and has been for some time. It means, you will need a prescription for Vitamin C! And it will be costly!

Now after reading through all of this. After suffering personally the last 9 months, after seeing how many women's symptoms are similar and all of them being told by their Doctors that it could not be Yasmin-I AM CONVINCED! The RN I just saw tried to get me to take Nexium which is also on www.worstpills.org website. In addition to Yasmin. I was so mad. I know this isn't Heartburn. Not when the heart murmur started. I am starting to think the entire medical community thinks all women are morons telling eveyrone its stress and anxiety--totally discounting our symptoms. I've come across 5 articles now on heart disease and women and all 5 expressedly talk about just this-how women are not taken seriously ---misdiagnosed 3 to 5 times and after costly exams, trips to the ER-they actually have heart attacks. Pisses me off. More than that, there are/have been moments at night when I lie awake and think about all of you, wondering what part of the world you are in, how this has effected your quality of life, all our abilities to trust, our familes, our work....and finding your responses during stressful times is so uplifting. I pray for each and everyone of you. I'm sickened that this drug-Yasmin and now its sister Yaz ever made it to the market. Based upon a couple of other's women's entries, I would join an effort to bring lawsuit.

The American Medical Association is currently working to pass a law to make it even more difficult to sue the pharmaceutical companies....nice huh?

For Newcomers to this site, summarizing information posted about symptoms that are common and steps you can take to learn and research besides trying to read through 2900 entries that start to feel like you are reading through individuals dialogues

Side effects:
Chest Pain
Anxiety
Depression
Dehydration
Weight loss
Extreme Fatigue
Clogged/painful ears
Listlessness
Vision Changes

Overall, not one positive thing posted by anyone who has been on Yasmin/Yaz for more than two years. Seems that women over 35 have the most trouble-and or/women with possible hormonal changes/imbalances to begin with.

Check www.worstpills.org
Report Side Effects: www.fda.gov
Call and report effects to teh pharmaceutical company

Unless you take action, Yasmin and Yaz will stay on the market for years to come. many more women will get sick and some very seriously so as you will find if you read through this site, the negative and damaging effects are lengthy and continue to grow.

Research: Hyperkalemia

I just found, following extensive research that Yasmin is listed on Worstpills.org (ON THE DO NOT TAKE LIST)

Yasmin listed on worstpills.org because of risk of hyperkalemia because this pill increases potassium levels in the body

Okay is everyone ready for this... I had the worst possible nightmare from taking this pill! I am a 33 yr. mother of three and had not been on the pill for 6 years ( had been on ortho tri - cyclene and trivora) so I decided to go back on it and my Dr. recommended this time to go on Yasmin. I never questioned it. I was only on this pill for one month and started noticing I had shortness of breath and severe anxiety/ fast heartbeat. I have never been short of breath or had any breathing problems - asthma, etc. I am very healthy and active and this was very unusual for me. One evening I had an "attack" and my heart was racing and I was shaking , trembling, etc. I thought I was having a severe anxiety attack and my husband took me to the E.R. After extensive testing ( bloodwork, ekg, chest x-ray, cat scan, etc.) they found that I had pulmonary embolisms or in other words blood clots in my lungs! The symptoms for a P.E. are that of anxiety, heart racing, shortness of breath, chest pain, etc. so if anyone his having these symptoms while being on this pill PLEASE get this checked immediately! Some people can experience leg cramps which can be a DVT ( blood clot in the leg) I never experienced any pain in my legs. I know my situation is at the extreme end and is supposedly rare but it happened!!! I went for about a week knowing something wasn't right until I went to the E.R. and fortunately I am doing fine now. I have been to several dr's. and extensive testing with all coming up negative. They cannot find anything wrong with me. No heart problems, blood disorders, etc. anything to have caused this so all that leaves them is to believe this was caused by this pill! Go to ****** and you will find Yasmin is listed as one of the "DO NOT USE " drugs on the market and one of the reasons: higher incident of blood clots in women. I think we should all fight to get this pill taken off the market ! I am not trying to scare anyone but trying to raise awareness. I am truly convinced what happened to me was a direct result from taking Yasmin. If anyone has had a similar experience or has any questions please email me.

What a relief to see that I'm not the only one who believes Yasmin may have caused some physical & mental health issues. I have been on Yasmin for approximately 2 years and have experienced depression, (which I am being treated for) weight gain, lower sex drive and blurred vision. I just attributed it to getting older, but when I found the website www.worstpills.org, there was Yamin on their list of pills you should not take. I have been off of Yasmin for 3 weeks now and have experienced extremely tender boobs, moodiness and am breaking out. These symptoms are slowly improving as it gets out of my system. I'm sure some pro-Yasmin people will read these positngs and say our symptoms could be attibuted to a variety of causes or "just in our heads", but there sure seems to be an undeniable pattern here.
Good luck all!

PS my husband is getting a vascetomy in 2 weeks, no more pills for me!
