To Silke and all the other ladies with the weight troubles from stopping, Im not saying it will work for you but I use to drink apple cider vinager mixed in with water or another beverage like tomato juice and it would keep my weight under control because it acts like a diruetic and has endless health benefits. So try it and see. Its so cheap too. I feel for all of you! I happen to be taking yasmin and have taken it for 2 years. I can only hope and pray that I dont experience your troubles. I will switch in a heartbeat if I get a hint of what you ladies have had! There is a big lawsuit against the ortho evra patch! So many woman have died from using it so ladies dont switch to that whatever you do. Im praying for you all! Good luck. Silke, Sherry, all of you keep us posted. Love, Kim
