There are a lot of negative experiences on here, so I thought I should share my positive one. I have been on birth control off and on for about 6 years. I was on orthotricyclin for the majority of the time-off and on. After getting horrible near migraine headaches on orthotricylin every Friday before my period for about 5 months in a row my doctor and I decided to try a different pill. I was on trilevelin (sp) for 4 months and gained a few pounds and felt easily irritated and emotionally different-just cried easily and not myself. I've been on Yasmin for a month and have had a great experience. I lost the water weight I'd gained and just verified with my boyfriend that my PMS was hardly even there. Everyone is different and has different hormone levels, but so far I am very happy with Yasmin. I've been migraine free tthe whole month!

BEWARE!!! Yasmin does help migraines but causes high anxiety.

Thanks for your reply. I haven't had any change in anxiety levels at all. I have not experienced ANY negative side effects whatsoever.

hi there, i am glad that yasmin is working out for you,for some people it is the best pill ever but for others it can be a life wrecker,it really does depend from one person to the next.
i loved yasmin for the 1st 6 months,felt great,lost weight,no acne,no pms then my life feel apart i began to have panic attacks,anxiety,depression,dizziness,palpitations and then developed agoraphobia due to the constant panic attacks. i am not saying any of these things will happen to you i will keep my fingers crossed that it is a life saver for you but please please listen to your body,if you notice anything strange or out of character get it checked out. make sure you drink plenty of water as yasmin has a diuretic built into it that can leave you dehydrated at a cellular level,this can be really nasty and mess up your whole body. also it may be wise to take a b complex vitamin and some calcium/magnesium as bcp's are known to deplete these vital vits/minerals.
best of luck to you i hope you continue to feel well.
