Hi, I've posted before, but I'm back with a few new symptoms.... I have been taking Yasmin since I don't know when. I was one of the first at my OB/GYN office to get on it when it first came out. Egad, what a crappy, painful life Yasmin produces. I seriously do not think that I have felt "well" since I have been on it. I have constant body aches, nausea, bowel problems, abdominal pain, tremendous pain in the gall bladder area which resulted in surgery that probably wasn't totally needed, leg pain and cramping (feels like a shin-splint...without having worked out), constant emotional outbursts, facial hair growth, absolutely NO sex drive, and migraines that I had never, ever had before...basically I feel like an ogre with a really bad case of the flu. My newest "problem" is that my periods all of the sudden only last two days and are very light. I know that some people would be happy with that symptom, but this is NOT normal. One box of "Lite" tampons will last me 3 months. I think that this is the LAST STRAW with me and Yasmin. I just started a new pack, but I took the last one I will ever take this morning. I would rather enjoy having sex with my finance(I'm sure he would like that too because I just don't want to do it EVER right now), not bark at people or cry for no reason, have less body pain, and maybe...for once in many years...FEEL GOOD. I really feel that if I continue on this crap...I'll either never be able to have children (which I do want), or I will end up killing myself or possibly my finance because I cannot control my emotions. For those of you who tout the wonders of Yasmin...I used to think it was great too before I figured out that I didn't feel this way before taking it. Feeling like shit every day of your life changes your outlook. I'll take menstrual cramps and ovarian cysts over all of this any day.

MISSK1,
I was really interested in the part where you said that you were having pain in the gallbladder area. Too make a long story short, I have been on yasmin since about dec 06 and just recently in the past couple months i was in the hospital because i was having pains in my upper right abdomen where your gallbladder is. I went through tons of tests and they said it could be my gallbladder and they scheduled me for surgery. I didnt feel comfortable with it for the fact that there were no tests actually showing that it was my gallbladder. Do you feel better now that you had it removed? Or do you still get the pains?

I've been on yasmin for years, to treat my PMDD. It actually helps me a lot. I had these problems BEFORE yasmin even came out and I was on Prozac and another BC. Prozac was bad news for me, with the Yasmin I can deal with the PMDD.
