I started taking Yasmin on Monday April 21st, and by Wednesday morning I wanted off of it. I started getting really bad leg cramps all the time, I feel dizzy all the time, I have trouble concentrating, and I have trouble breathing. The worst part is that I have heart palpitations now. My heart feels all butterfly-like or it feels like it's beating really slowly really hard. I just spoke with my doctor, and she says to stop taking it immediately. After reading this website I see I'm not the only one affected by horrible side-effects from Yasmin.

I have been taking this BC for two full months now and have started the third. I have lost so much blood the last two periods, but my doctor says I am not anemic. Yet I am white as a ghost and have heart palpitaions. My blood pressure has dropped to 101/40 and she has no explanation for why I am as white as a ghost. This has been going on for two weeks now. I am desperately thinking of stopping my pack. I also have muscle cramping in my legs, but the doctor seems to think it is low iron, but when she checked it, she says that my level is just fine. I contribute it all to this Yasmin crap!

Ask to have your blood pressure and potassium levels checked. You can even check the blood pressure youself at a store. The machines are supposed to be routinely calibrated, but they are relatively accurate.
