I started taking Yasmin 4 and a half years ago. I had really bad endo problems and my doctor put me on it to skip periods. It really worked for that. BUT, I started having terrible IBS attacks. My doctor thought it was a side effect of the endo. In 2005 I had lasic surgery to gid rid of the endo. I continued taking the Yasmin for birth control. I also continued having IBS attacks. They have gotten worse and worse. It never hit me that it could be my pill until about 4 days ago. I went on line and started looking for information. I'm so glad I found this site! It has helped me realize I need to get off this medication ASAP. I also have had anxiety problems and some mild depression but I've just assumed it was from the IBS. I've been off Yasmin for 4 days now and think I'm feeling a little worse. Stomach cramps, don't want to eat, I feel like I want to jump out of my skin!! Has anyone else out there had these symptoms? Will they go away anytime soon???
