I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a class action lawsuit against Yasmin. I started taking Yasmin last October and the first three months I was on it, I was bleeding every day. It was the first time I ever got on a birth control pill. I stayed on the pill for a total of 6 months until one night I suddenly had severe abdominal pain along with nausea. It went bad from worse and I was rushed into emergency room later that day. My diagnosis was acute pancreatitis due to high level of triglycerides. The doctors ran a series of tests, blood, ultrasound, CAT scan, and X-ray, etc. Their conclusion was Yasmin caused the dramatic increase of my triglycerides, and ultimately caused my acute pancreatitis. My triglycerides level was below 200 before I started taking Yasmin and by May this year when I was diagnosed with acute pancreatitis, my triglycerides was over 4,300! After spending 3 weeks in hospital for pain control and being off food and water for a total of 2 weeks, I was able to go home and get on with my life. My doctor told me I should never take any form of birth control pills nor any kind of hormone. I stopped taking Yasmin since the day I was admitted. If anyone knows of a lawsuit or a lawyer that is working on a case against Yasmin, please let me know.

Hi hope you are doing well. Have'nt heard anything really of any lawsuits, but there is one thing that we all can do and that is to warn people and help get this type of info out there so people have some kind of understanding of what is happening. I being one of them, had no clue that the pill would have this much negative impact on my body. I thought that I was just someone who was unlucky and would be miserable forever. I am now spreading the word of how I felt and what it has done to me over the years and that I am not ALONE! Listen to your body and you do what you think is best. Don't get me wrong, i love my dr., but they sometimes have a blind eye to all the of the bad side effects of medication. I wish you luck and keep us women informed of how you are doing.
