AVOID YASMIN LIKE THE PLAGUE! I never have got on with contracept...

AVOID YASMIN LIKE THE PLAGUE! I never have got on with contraceptive pills, but this pill is absolutely the worst of all types I've tried. I specifically told my doctor that responded badly to hormones in BC pills such as weight gain and tender and enlarged breasts - well, two days after starting Yasmin, I started to get shooting pains in the sides of my breast and I grew at least a full cup size. I was miserable, having to wear sports bras and unable to move in any way without feeling discomfort. The discomfort was not only in my breast, I also started to get extremely moody and a bit depressed. My best friend and husband and I were on a weekend seminar and the two of them called me 'punchy' all weekend. This occurred for about two weeks, succinctely during the two months, I was on Yasmin. Other side-effects were: heavy periods, spotting, weight gain, dizziness and I swear, I could have slept my life away on this pill. I was always feeling tired and like I needed more rest. I'm now trying Loestrin 20 now - hoping that will be ok for me.

This is so crazy....l have been on antidepressants for over a year.... i recently moved interstate and started to feel a bit down and gain weight....and have absolutely no sex drive!!!! I thought it must be the antidepressants but my friend metioned that i hadn't really gained weight while i was on the antideppressants and my boyfirend said that when we were in adelaide i had a sex drive...... then i realised all these symptoms co incide with me taking yasmin.... I've gained over 5 kilos in 6 months....my breast are always sore!!!!!!

Because i was previously depressed everyone kept saying it's just because you've moved and haven't found a job....Nope i think it's the yasmin......

I've also noticed that after sex my vagina is really sore when it never use to be...which puts me off even trying to have sex which i don't really want anyway cos of the low libido....

Yasmin sucks

Have just googled Yasmin as started taking it 6 weeks ago and am feeling really low and noticing weight gain already.I have previously been diagnosed with depression following the birth of my son 2 years ago, but am coping well on anti-depressants, but since taking Yasmin I have taken a real turn for the worse. I am so tired and feel as if everything is spiralling out of control again. Am so relieved to find this site as it has made me realise it could be the pill and not me.
