Hi Again just like many of you ladies out there i am so glad i ...

Please read your Yasmin booklet for symptoms of blood clots in your lungs or legs. Have you been tested for blood clots? Your symptoms of chest pains and shortness of breath could be pulmonary emboli. If you DO have blood clots it is a medical emergency. Do not be complacent about being able to survive these side effects. My daughter died in her third month of taking Yasmin of blood clots in her lungs. She was told on a Wednesday that she just had anxiety and two days later she was dead. She had planned to stop taking Yasmin at the end of that month.

Hi i stopped taking Yasmin over a year and half ago as i was getting thoughts of suicide and migraine, i spoke to my doctor who said that i was having an estrogen withdrawal in my 7 day break so she gave me oestrogen tablets to take in between. I don't usually take any kind of tablets, not even for headache so i thought this was stupid. So after a couple of years of taking it (oh and i forgot to say im from England were this drug hasn't been out long, i was used as a guinea pig, first to trial it at my local doctors) i stopped. Then the trouble began two weeks after stopping i got more headaches and started to itch my head on one side. The result was my hair fell out caused by alopecia, caused by body shock from coming off the pill, after that i developed Telogen Efluvium, which is another form of hair loss. I ended up loosing 50% of my hair all over. I had oily skin and severe acne.
So now i am now still recovering, i take Viviscal herbal tablets at £40 a month, to help my hair growth. But all this dosnt help the fact that i am still recovering, i do however see the light at the end of the tunnel and im just going to be patient.
I if could just get some time with the people who make this stuff and also spread the word, DON'T TAKE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its been nearly 3 weeks since i stopped taking Yasmin. But in the past year whilst i had been taking it my hair was already falling out. And it still is today... in clumps. I had very thick beautiful long hair. But now when i feel each strand its so weak. Also now that i have stopped taking Yasmin, my breasts feel very tender... im not sure what other side effects i will be faced with...
