I have been on Yasmin for 4 years. I switched from Ortho-Tri-Cyclin because the massive weight gain. I have had no visible problems with Yasmin until recently. I have not gained any weight, but I work out 5 times a week. Now, after reading other posts, I realize that I have had many of these problems. The past year or so, I have been crying for no reason at all. I have been extremely tired no matter how much sleep I get, a loss of sex drive ( which is hurting my relationship), very painful sex, and have had respiratory problems. Over the past couple of months, I have had severe gas, which has never been a problem before. It is painful. I have had very bad TMJ for about 2 years now. I have never had any problems with my jaw before then. The pain is on my left side. I just read some of the side effects of Yasmin, and left-sided jaw is one of them. I am going to talk to my Gyno about switching at my next visit. Has anyone else experienced this? Does anyone know why this happens?

Same here with all your comments. TMJ on left side, loss in sex drive and weird moods each month for a couple days. Now I have acne. I'm switching asap.

"crying for no reason at all. I have been extremely tired no matter how much sleep I get, a loss of sex drive, very painful sex, " experienced all these. i've been on Yasmin for 8mths now. and have had headahces the whole time-- i've got an appointment w/the nuerologist so we should know soon if it's something else.

those symptoms at the top were only for a short time... and my periods are very light and very predictable (which are all plusses) but if these headaches have anything to do w/ it i would say switch and stay as far away from Yasmin as possible!
