All you ladies, and expecially femalepara: You shouldn't tell ANYTHING about this pill, as long as you haven't been taking it AT LEAST over a few months!! Reading such a post like "I just started taking it TWO WEEKS ago and this is so much better than..." feel like a slap in a face of someone who had suffered and is still suffering because of this nightmare pill!! Surely everyone reacts different on medicine, but you always should be careful and very sensitive about ANY symptoms you experience while taking Yasmin!! In my case the worst symptoms started after 2 YEARS on it!!! Then another 2 very bad years (always tired and dizzy) without noticing, what this chemical was already doing to my body and then the total breakdown after 4 years on this stuff!! The first 2 years I thought it was the best pill I ever had taken and then in 2004 my life nearly was about to end because of that sh....!!!! So please ladies, don't tell anything about a medicine as long as you weren't on it at least for one year!! Believe me, before that point you don't know ANYTHING about it!!! I wish you best of luck, that everything stays that good as it does at "2 weeks" on it. In my case the diuretic effect changed into the opposite!! After about 3 years on it I got such bad water retention I've never had before in my life and cellulitis all over my body (not only legs or so!!), even at my arms!!! After about 4 years on it I looked as if I was pumped up with tons of water, my face looked like a big balloon (I ALWAYS was a very fit and slim person BEFORE!!! I swear!!), my belly wobbled with every move I made.... It was terrible!!! And still, even after one year WITHOUT Yasmin all the water I had retained is not gone completely. I'm just so thankful that it gets less every month; already I lost about 10 pounds during the last 4 months and my body and face finally starts looking like my old self!! So again: Please be careful with that medicine and don't praise it to the skies since this is a bit hasty at such a short time on it! All the best to everyone out there, who's still suffering or recovering of their personal "Yasmin nightmare"!! God bless you!! Silke
