You can count my daughter in. She has taken both Yasmine and Yaz (for only one month because of the bad side effects) and has developed all sorts of disorders. She was a healthy girl before taking yasmine. My daughter was on the patch, with no visable side effects, but the doctor took her off of that and put her on Yasmine. Now she also has been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and has a bunch of other problems. I'm pretty sure she is a good candidate for the lawsuit..

I have been on birth control for many, many years but on yasmi for the last 5 years. I was just released today from a week in the hospital due to pulmonary embolai (blood clots in both lungs). I was on a long car ride recently from vacation, but I was never warned about this possibility. my ob/gyn told me that I could be on yasmin until I hit menopause. I am 42 years old and was quite shocked to find out that my life was at risk because of these pills. I also wondered if there was a class action lawsuit.
tracy

I hope you post your email on the YAZ website as well. There are many women complaining of awful effects there as well. I strongly beleive there is enough severity and consistancy in the complaints for a lawsuit. I would be happy to know that it was at least off the market and noone else would ever have to go through the same awfull emotional rollercoaster me and my entire family have been on.

I also just suffered a PE on 6/4/08 - was not on Yasmin at the time, but had been for about 2 years (was switched about 3 months before my PE). I am 36 years old, otherwise healthy (am very active and have no other underlying risk factors), and have been on other forms of the pill (on & off, but mostly on) since I was 18 - with no side effects. The more I am reading, the more I'm mad about not being appropriately warned! People seem to keep dismissing the risks of this pill. Yes, millions of women are fine on the pill, but from what I'm reading hundreds of thousands are not. PEs are terrifying and potentially deadly. In case anyone needs it, there is a great on-line support group called dailystrength.org and there is a PE suport group on there I found last week - they are wonderful people and have saved me from losing my sanity (lots of panic & anxiety). Recovery from PE is a long and bumpy road, and these people are of immense support. Good luck and good health to all!
