I just spent the last 4 days in the hospital due to "status migrainosus" (a severe migraine that can only be treated by hospitalization/IV. I never had a migraine until 2 years ago when I was put on Yasmin to treat endometriosis. Since then I have been anxious, extremely emotional, experienced insomnia and had bad migraines. After reading all the comments on this site, I am convinced this is not a safe drug (at least for me) and have stopped taking it.

Status Migrainosus does not usually require hospitalization. It definitely can be treated as outpatient, if the DHE IV medication works, and sometimes steroid therapy can break the migraine as well. One does not always, absolutely have to be hospitalized for this.
