Deanna - Sorry to hear of the agony you went through with Yasmin. I can totally relate. I am now 36 and do not want any more children. I just don't think I can ever take another BCP. Don't be alarmed if your side effects linger. The nausea I had with yasmin was worse than when I was pregnant. And, the pains in my lower legs was unreal! My anxiety peaked back in Dec. 2005 and my BP skyrocketed. I am slowly getting back to normal. I am going to see my doc next month and try to wean off of effexor and be totally prescription free. I take a multi vitamin, fish oil and flaxseed. These shakes are the worst.
Hang in there. Glad that you are yasmin free. keep us posted on your progress.
