I have been taking Yasmin for 2 years now and the side effects are horrible. Up until the last 4 - 5 months, I never had any problems with the medication. All of a sudden I started having night sweats, mood swings, anger issues, and emotionally unstable. I went to the doctor and they thought I was going through early menopause. I am only 28 years old, so of course they did all of the necessary tests. After the results came back, I was told that it was not early menopause, but they thought I may be having secondary ovarian failure. I went and had a second opinion and was told that the problem was my birth control pills. Apparently this pill can completely stop your ovaries from producing the hormones that they have to produce. My doctor told me that one of the side effects of this pill is that is shuts the ovaries down in rare cases. Well I guess I am a rare case. I am coming off of these pills and in a few months I should not have any of these symptoms. I do not recommend this product to anyone!!!!!!

My best friend just got diagnosed with full menopause at 35 after being on this pill for two years and I almost died from a critical case of b12 deficiency caused by Yasmin use. We are seeing a lawyer. Go to a good Endocrinologist and have your b12 levels checked to they can cause some of your symptoms. I have to inject b12 now.
