I have been on Yasmin for about a year. I have had to start taking it before I go to bed because if i take it during the day, I get severe headaches and extremely nauseous. I also have been having a problem with vaginal dryness. I almost do not want to have sex anymore...no lubricants help. It is so dry that it seems to soak the lube right up and i have to constantly reapply it. Also, I am often moody and/or depressed. I had a three month period where i had to stop taking it because i was in a car accident that resulted in a broken leg and me being put on bed rest so the doctors did not want to take any chances with blood clots aided by my inactivity. Since I have been on it again, i noticed a return of all these symptoms plus i have been noticing loss of hair. And i mean extreme. I get out of the shower and i have to clean the drain so the water can drain...i shed so much hair the tub backs up! Is this common with any pill or is it just this one? HELP!

I would Just come off it if i was you. But watch your hair will probably fall out even more, but believe me, you will be better off in the long term off it. I have had the Marina coil fitted, it has a little hormone in it but not enough to bother me. I lost 50% of my hair from coming off Yasmin due to body shock caused by the change in hormones, im still not quite right and it has been over a year now. But the sooner you come off it the better.
