Ladies,
I happened to stumble on this posting on the "side effects" forum for YASMIN. I hope it's ok to cut and paste it here. It goes along with what I said in my last post. As this woman said, don't be scared by the title; it's about HORMONES, not just menopause!

BAD SIDE EFFECTS TO YASMIN
I was on Yasmin for 4 months. I felt OK for the first month, but I had the driest skin, and everything else. My acne started to clear up. I was excited. Then around the third month I started getting dizzy, ringing or pressure in my ears, sinus problems, just weird overall sense of not myself. Very unhappy. No libido. Very tired. Gained weight. Just not well. I decided it had to stop. In my search for hope, I came upon the most AMAZING book. It is full of specfic answers to all of your hormone questions. Why is this happening!!!! I could not stop reading it once I started. I finished the 395 page book in one evening. Then I got started right away the next morning on getting my body back in balance. I hope all of you will check this out. It is a LIFE SAVER. The book is "What Your Doctor May NOT Tell You About Premenopause", by John R. LEE, M.D., Jesse Hanley, M.D. and Virginia Hopkins. Don't be afraid of the title, it is for EVERY WOMAN! I would get a copy and share it with as many woman as possible. I am feeling so much better today!!! :>)
