I got married in May and started taking Yasmin just before and it has been HELL ever since! It has cost my husband and I money and quite a bit of unnecessary turmoil! Currently, I'm still on Yasmin and after reading all this am I definitely getting off of it! Everything that I have read is TOO faniliar! My agony includes: -Insomnia (I was up until 3am last night) -lathargic all day (very unmotivated and sleepy) -a VERY low sex drive (my husband just LOVES this one) -high irritability & mood swings -frequent dizziness & light headedness -had my 1st migraine ever (thank GOD I've only had 1) -mild depression-want to cry all the time (& do) for no reason -breasts are hard with knots (he loves that too) -i pee all the time -back pain in the morning (After sleeping in our guest room for a month, we have actually started shopping around for a new mattress-didn't even cross my mind that it may be the pill) I'm on my 7th pack and can't wait to get to my doc to switch to something better. Anyway, my question is...for all of you who have already switched...what did you switgh to? Are your side effects less? (Off the pill, my periods are normal, short, and for the most part cramp free (Don't hate me!) My husband and I just want to enjoy being married a little longer before having any little ones!) Any suggestions?

Hi there ladies --
I was wondering how long it took for your libidos to return to normal. I was on yasmin for 3 years and stopped 8 months ago... I've lost quite a bit of hair but haven't had a UTI or a yeast infection since.
I'm still waiting for my sex drive to return though...
