I took Yasmin for 3 weeks. I felt so nauseous I struggled to eat and lost 10lb in weight. I got headaches, dizziness and some mild anxiety. I can totally relate to the lady with the food cravings. I could only eat certain things and just the thought of a lot of foods made me feel sick immediately. I have now been off Yasmin for a month and have only just started to feel better - I am eating more normally now (although not gaining weight) and find that I just feel a bit weird from time to time. Feeling ill for this relatively short amount of time has been a nightmare and I feel for all you ladies who are suffering for much longer. I have now come off birth control completely after 17 years of taking various pills. I'd rather use other methods than go through Yasmin again or risk taking anything else that could cause the same effects.
