Hello all. I was wondering if any of you who have been on Yasmin for a few years experienced any joint pain or swelling in your hands/feet because of this. I notice that it is a side effect, but was wondering when it developed for people who have been on it a while. I have swollen, painful joints in my hands, but the blood tests turn up negative for arthritis and my docs (primary and neuro) have quizzed me about Yasmin - the only prescription med I take. Also, I had terrible migraines upon starting Yasmin but those subsided. I also experience the sex drive/dryness/increased UTI frequency issues others of you describe. I am 32 and have not been pregnant before. Have been on Yasmin for three years.

My poor 15 year old daughter has been taking yasmin for approx 6 months-Last night she had two panic attacks, she has hardly slept for 2 weeks now-She gets diarrhoea, urinary frequency, headaches, exhaustion when she really hasn't been able to do much anyway because of aching elbows,wrists and knees-The only thing she takes is Yasmin, I found this forum site for Yasmin when I typed her symptoms into google and it was like an epiphany.. We have an appt with the GP today. I feel dreadful that it took this long to realise it was her pill, I will be warning anyone who takes it to stay away from it.
