I am a 32 yr old mother of 4. Started taking Yasmin after a try with an IUD (bad chioce). I was on Yasmin for 6 months. In that time I devolped night sweats, hot flashes, my hair started falling out, total lack of sex drive (which had never been a problem), along with sleep issues (lying in bed so tired, but my mind racing and not being able to fall asleep), then being so tired all day. I finally stopped Yasmin when I devolped open sores in my mouth. Thinking that all the other symptoms were related to life stress, getting older etc. So I went to my Primary DR and was told that they though I might be in premature menapouse. At 32! After many test/blood work came back negative, I started to pin point it to the Yasmin. I have been off for 5 months now, and this is my first cycle where I havent spotted for 5 days before starting, along with my PMS much more managble. I am angry that I almost medicated myself for depression/anxitey when all I needed was to go off the pill. So here is giving you all hope that it is getting much better for me. My hair has started to grow back in, along with a general sence of happiness again. My "menapasual" symptoms are also going away!
