Thank you all so much for this information. I really thought I was going crazy! Constant hot flashes, dark patches on my nose and upper lip, breast enlargement and the worst mood swings ever! I tried Yasmin because after two pregnancies I was having break through bleeding with my old pill and the Dr. wanted to try this. After 6 months I officially gave up today. I agree with the comment that this pill works as birth control by turning you into a raving lunatic no one would ever touch! Thanks again for the information.
