I have just bought a pack of Yasmin for birth control and heavy periods but haven't taken any yet, nor have i ever tried BC pills before. I suffer from severe migraines daily it ruins everything i do and my GP's have been completely useless they don't even ask me any symptoms about my headaches and refused to let me see a specialist. The only thing he did was tell me I need to go on painkillers indefinitely which does not appeal to me at all. I am now wondering if i should take Yasmin or not after reading all these bad reviews especially concerning migraines. Has anyone with constant migraine found a way to help them? Please let me know as im desperate to know what it feels like to not have a migraine.

First of all if you get migraines your not supposed to be taking any pill with estrogen in it. It could cause you to have seizures. I'm surprised your doctor would even prescibe it to you. You should really ask them about this. I know because my doc wouldn't give me any due to headaches. I just recently convienced him that my headaches were under control and he told me he'd let me try Yaz for 3 months to see how i did. Boy am i regreting that. But there is a thing called Migraspray it is herbal, and you spray it under the tounge and it works well. I use it and get it from my chiropractor. Getting regular adjustments on your neck also helps. At least for me. Well good luck with your headaches. Hope it helps.

Hey thanks for that. $25 in the bin im not gonna take Yasmin. I wouldn't be surprised if my doc told me to go bang my head on the wall to help my migraines as i said he's useless.

I saw my chiro today for first time and am trying to keep common headache food triggers to a minimum. Been going for a week with no chocolate, avocado, or caffiene and i must say i already feel a bit better (i dont even crave them that much coz i know it may help my head).

We gotta have drugs as our last resort not as the first i cant understand when GP's dont advise us of that. Im gonna look out for that migraine spray thanks for that

hope you stay healthy!
