This site is amazing but scary! I have been taking Yasmin for about 2 years now and am thinking about going off of it. These side effects scare me to death!! especially the weight gain. I have PCOS which made me gain all of this weight. Then i started taking yasmin to regulate my periods and hoping to shed some of the weight i gained. I havent lost weight and i cant seem to lose any weight. This is why i now dont want to get off the pill, the FEAR of gaining more weight. Weight gain has been the main focus of my life it seems because i am always thinking about it.
I never connected the symptoms i was having with this pill. I had the terrible nausea in the morning for about a month or two when i started to take it. Then i have noticed the hair lose and i am only 18 years old! And the leg cramps are bad. I get them during i sleep and i have to shoot out of bed and walk around to get rid of them and then i wake up and my leg is sore.
I am also very emotionally and cry often, i am even crying now thinking about all the symptoms i will experience getting off of this pill. I have 3 more yellow pills left then the week of my period. I want to stop but i dont know if i have the courage to. I dont want to gain weight now when i am already at the worst shape of my life. I just started college this year and that has been a big adjusment for me. This is the time i want to experience life and try to improve upon myself, not make myself worse.
Please, if anyone can give me some words of encouragement and help me get off of this pill it would be so wonderful.
