I loved Yasmin at first. Helped with Acne and facial hair. Periods manageable and sometimes very light. Some PMS, but normal. I had breast tenderness that went away after about 4-5 months. 6 months into it. Severe anxiety and panic attacks. 8 months. Headaches that lasted 24 hours. Very specific spots that I could point to and other times all over pain. Also head sensations and dizzyness very regularly. OTC pain meds didn't work. Nothing helped. CT scan- that was clear. Migrain meds - pointless. Narcotics (Xanex) has become a regular pill to take. Scary. 10 months into it. Leg pains in my calves. The anxiety, headaches, dizzyness, aches and pains...all of it I didn't attribute to the pill and then suddenly....I just said "it's got to be the pill" My quality of life is horrible. And so after 12 months on Yasmin, I just stopped yesterday and I'm praying that I will feel normal in a few days. I wish it would have worked b/c I thought it was working so well for me. No weight gain, good sex drive, clear skin. I was boasting about it to all my girlfriends for months. It's very disappointing, but at the same time, I am glad to be going hormone free again. Good luck to all!

I lost a lot of hair after getting off yasmin. At first my nipples were hypersensitive and hurt and I was really crampy.
