I was on Yasmin for 2 years. After the first 6 months I started getting migraine headaches about 3 to 5 x per week (didn't normally even get a simple headache much). After I fought it for another 4-5 months I made an appt with my OB who instead of taking me off Yasmin sent me to a Neurologist who put me on Relpax. Then about 4 months later I noticed a small bald spot on my head, went to a Dermatologist who told me I had alopecia. I stopped taking Yasmin in November and my migraines stopped almost immediately. However I'm still losing my hair (thinning along my part) in addition to getting random bald spots. My question to you is if you have seen any improvement in your hair loss since being off Yasmin and if so how long did it take? I now have an IUD (non hormonal) and have no side effects that are bothersome compared to the Yasmin.
