My experience with Yasmin was very similar to the one posted by "vpompon19" on October 26th 2007. I took Yasmin for only a month. The day after I started, I had those symptoms: - Nausea that last day and night - Complete loss of appetite. - Extreme fatigue - Sleeping over 8 hours and still feeling tired - Brain fog - inability to concentrate on anything - Irritability - Hypersensibility - I would cry for nothing... - Feeling extremely nervous and nauseous when I had only half a green tea! - Heartburn (I suffer from acid reflux but it was almost gone until I started Yasmin) - Depression When i stopped, I had the most painful period I've had for at least 8 years. Plus I immediately started an urinary tract infection (which I never had before). Two weeks later I experienced unbearable back pain. The doctor told me I had a herniated disk but I didn't force or had any trauma so I was sceptical. It turned out to be mononucleosis! So thank you not Yasmin for having wasting at least 2 months of my life (so far), not mentioning the fear I had a more serious disease... No more birth control pill for me ever. I took another brand (Marvelon) for 7 years, then I stopped one year and my Irritable Bowel Syndrome disappeared. But my acne came back (even though I took Accutane when I was 15 - which I'm sure is the cause of my uncontrollable acid reflux). I found out there are natural, safer and cheaper contraceptive methods. Don't wait until your doctor or the education system tell you about them because you'll be dead already. M.
