Thanks to everyone who has posted their experiences with Yasmin! I am now on my 4th Yasmin free day. So far, I've not had any withdrawal issues aside from a bad migraine yesterday (but I've typically had Migraines during my sugar pill week anyway, so this wasn't surprising.) I was on Yasmin for almost a year. The side effects creeped up on me slowly. They included: ~ Irrational thoughts (sometimes) ~ Depression and crying ~ Migraines (2 or more a month) ~ Social withdrawal (used to be much more social, but on Yasmin, I didn't want to be around my friends for very long) ~ Fatigue (I sometimes have to close my office door and lay on the floor to rest) ~ Bloating, IBS-like symptoms and pain on the left side of my belly (This is the symptom that made me start researching Yasmin.) I'm convinced that the Yasmin caused all these problems. I'd much rather try treating my PCOS with diet and exercise. I will try to post again in a week or so to update progress. (I just want to give others some hope, you know?) Best of luck to all!
