Hello: I am so sorry that all of us are suffering since taking this pill. My experience with Yasmin was brutal and 3 years later I know am told that I have developed b12 deficiency or a very serious, but treatable condition called pernicious anemia. I never had it before then pill. I took Yasmin for only 5 months and felt sick the whole time. Headaches, strange moods, even a popping sound in my head some times, bizarre symptoms. I called my OBGYN and told he I was stopping. She said the pill did not cause this, but if I felt it was related to stop. AND IT WAS! She now admits to feeling bad for this. She did not mean it. Doctors only know what they read from the literature of a drug. I stopped taking it and was in the hospital within three days. I was in shock. Night sweats, tingling skin, no energy, stomach problems of every kind. Severe pain in my left ovary, suicidal depression and on and on. The worst part is that I began to get sicker and sicker. 3 years later of still being sick. The only thing that has helped my system is acupuncture and a serious diet change to aid my system, I find out that I have a serious b12 deficiency, which I never had. They call it an autoimmune disease which impedes you from processing b12 and all this starts in the tummy! I lost a baby during this time while pregnant, now we know it was this! The Yasmin pill has been pulled off the social medicine of some European countries due to such severe side effects. Their is a girl on this blog getting names together to start a class action suit. I am in. No one can get me my three years of suffering back, or my lost baby or my lost work. I am a professional flamenco dancer and let me tell you it is not easy to perform with a serious b12 deficiency which affects nerve endings, heart tissue and neurology! And the cure for this is b12 injections for life! If you want me to forward your name to the girl with the attorney you can write me at:****** Well I am going to keep trying to be well. I am young and have a whole life ahead of me.

tell me who this person is. i started yasmin in dec, by mid jan, i was experiencing weird symtoms and full blown anxiety attacks. i have never ever experienced this before. now, 6 months later, i've gotten tremendously better after a vitamin/supplement program and a fabulous anxiety/stress program -- but i have my bad days and those days sometimes feel like all the other good days were for nothing. it's the worst thing i've ever had to go through. the anxiety, depression, irrational fears, scary thoughts -- the worst thing i've EVER gone through. i'd like to be on board with this person filing a suit. by the way, yasmin is in the top ten of worst medications to take on worstpill.org. anyways - take care and let me know if things get moving with the law suit.

I'd like to join the class action too. I stopped Yasmin after 12 months in July 2005 - and still battling to get my health back to 100%. We deserve compensation for this Pill taking away some of our best years.
Where can I find details about joining?
