hey everyone,
i haven't looked at this site since a few weeks after coming off yasmin last year. i'm always amazed how many thousands of women write in-- probably thousands more than this horrible pill was tried out on before it was sold! i'm still trying to get the money back from my clinic since this poison is the most expensive one on sale in ireland.
i just wanted to share my experience of coming off yasmin. i was on it for two years and knew it wasn't right for me but i didn't put all the symptoms together until i found this site, and like most of the women here, was pretty relieved that i wasn't crazy. so when i stopped taking it i waited for all the terrible things to happen and none of them did. my periods were irregular for a while. but i lost the weight, my breasts stopped hurting, i stopped waking up in the middle of the night with leg cramps, no more diarrhoea, no more thinking i was the ugliest and craziest bitch in the world and no more telling my boyfriend i didn't feel like it.... don't be scared and just stop taking yasmin before it seriously wrecks your body! i'm so much happier without it. of course everyone has different experiences, but i thought i'd encourage people to stop taking it rather than continue out of fear that they'll feel worse when they stop. all the best ladies!
