yasmin has completely ruined my life. I was on yasmin originally for 2 years and it worked wonderfully- no weight gain and face cleared up completely. I decided to take a break from it when i traveled for work for 2 months.. i started getting severe panic attacks- didn't associate it with the yasmin though, so i went back on it when i returned and my face brokeout severely- i gave it 5 months to work- but it didn't and after stopping a week ago the anxiety has returned- and im not an anxious person.. and severe anxiety- feel like i cant breath.. dizzy.. constantly tired and scared.. so while this medicine could be beneficial to some people.. i really wouldn't reccomend it- not worth the bad side effects that last for a long time after taking the medicine...
