My jaw dropped after reading all of these posts. I started on Yasmin 3 weeks ago. I've never really been on BC's before, so I thought that my headaches, numbness and fatigue were just because of school. I finally connected the dots and looked on the internet to see if it was the Yasmin or if i was just crazy. I am so thankful to have found this website. I wish it was in the paper or advertised. Doctors should not even be able to prescribe this drug.

Seems like a lot of people here have posts birth control side effect. Where are the rest of the steroid Depo-medrol I just posted? Also, regarding ear bleeding, I am on aspirin therapy, an adjunct to cholesterol medication, which does thin the blood a bit. I've had other symptoms in addition to one's listed, some are constant, some come and go. I would advise people to be very careful with doctors and physical therapy place that like to inject a lot. I wasn't told it was a steroid that the Dr. was injecting, I was used to lidocain but it never had long lasting results, he said he'd add something to the lidocain to make it work better and longer. If I hadn't asked him to write down the name of 'what else' was in the shot', I'd never know. Since the shots were near my neck (where the roots, bundles) of spinal cord is, perhaps it would be a different experience. Now almost a month later I still have constant fatigue, headache, occasional nausea and some weight gain, the other in a myriad of 'odd' symptoms I forgot is that I also developed conjunctivitis and my vision (esp. when I read) it feels like there's a thin layer of something opaque that makes it difficult to see clearly. I have MANY now seen several doctors and have appointments with others, lined up. Find out all you can before, not after. Good luck.
