I have a couple of questions. I stopped taking Yasmin 16 days ago...

I just started taking Yasmin. Did you ever feel fatigued on it? A loss of energy at all?

Also, now that you are off it, how is your skin? When I got off of Loestrin24fe (never go on it!), my skin broke out like crazy. It was worse than it was when I was going through puberty!

Not sure what benefits youre seeking, but trust me..anythng is betr than the risk with taking this pill!!! I had a pulmonary embolism, survived a stroke, i wouldnt wish this reality on anyone.... sty away from yasmin!!!

Racheli, well... let's just say my husband and everybody around me called me lazy and whatnot. I was extremely tired and apathetic all the time while on this pill. Stupid stuff like emptying the dishwasher for instance could take me 2 days before I got to it. Or folding the laundry, I'm not kidding when I say I could let it sit on the dining table for 2 weeks before finally getting to it. This pill made me totally lazy, fatigued and I could easily sleep 10 hours a night and still have no energy to do anything.

This will be my third week off the pill and I'm starting to get a few pimples. I have also noticed that my skin (Thank God!) is starting to not be so freaking dry anymore. It was insanely dry on the pill.

I also wrote 2 long posts last week if you want to read them for more info. Just scroll down a bit.

MsDownham, I'm so sorry to hear about your stroke. I hope you will be able to get back to a normal life after this.
