I was on Yasmin for almost 6 months. I didn't have the anxiety attacks, etc. I had acne before being on Yasmin, and it was greatly reduced. I lost almost 30 lbs on Yasmin. However, I had really horrible.. HORRIBLE... periods before being on Yasmin, that's why my doc put me on it. My periods lessened in intensity, but lengthened in duration (lighter flow, but longer time). Then, in July, I had 2 periods a week apart. The first one was "normal" for me on Yasmin. The 2nd one was so bad, I thought I was hemorrhaging. I was passing clots the size of apples, and going through super plus tampons at a rate of one every 15 minutes. I had to be taken to the ER because I was bleeding so badly. Docs there did ultrasounds, etc. Doc said I wasn't hemorrhaging, but that my uterus was "full", as if I hadn't had a period in a while and things backed up. Needless to say, I stopped the Yasmin, but I'm still spotting/bleeding after 2 months. How fun!
