Does anyone know how long it takes for the side effects to wear off???
I was on Yasmin for 8 months and it is the worst pill I have been on. I had most of the side effects mentioned. Terrible migraines behind my eye, cramps in my feet, my face was numb down one side, dizziness, TERRIBLE ANXIETY almost like panic attacks, terrible mood swings, feeling like I was pregnant, etc. The worst was the anxiety, I thought I was going mad or getting depression. I've gone from a really confident person who loved work to someone who was constantly nervous and was afraid to go to work. I almost gave work up because I was so stressed. Finally someone said to look up the side effects of Yasmin which was when I found this site and stopped taking it immediately. I started to feel better after a couple of days and started to calm down a bit.
I went to a homeopath who was very good and gave me really good advice regarding eating healthily and did a bit of counselling which made me realise I wasn't going mad at all. Unfortunately she can't recommend anything except condoms for birth control, but I'd rather be pregnant than go through the last 8 months again.
Now that I think back I'd asked my doctor for this specific pill, and she made the comment that she'd had bad reports about it, but it was the usual see how you go and try stick it out.
