The other really bad side effect which I forgot to mention was constantly feeling thirsty, but no matter how much water I drink, it doesn't make a difference. I also noticed a bad taste in my mouth since I started taking Yasmin. I was brushing my teeth 5 times a day but as soon as I brush them, the bad taste comes back. I wanted to go on the pill b/c I have really painful periods and am prone to ovarian cysts, but for me, this is even worse than bad periods. I think the only way to know is to try it, b/c I do have friends who use it and like it, but for me, it had very negative side effects.
