i am 17 years old and i have been on birth control for over 2 years,, for the first 6 months i was on Yasmin && then my doctor wanted me to have a less hormonal birth control and switched me to yaz the only side affect was little weight gain... i have depression but i never considered that it would be a cause of my birth control. sometimes it gets bad... but my doctor said it was just an imbalance of serotonin in my body my mom is extremely scared b.c she doesn't want me to have the dangerous side affects that she has recently been hearing about Yasmin... but are yaz and Yasmin the same? i have been becoming increasingly worried about the birth control im on now.. i want to have children when i grow up. but after hearing that death could be a result of the birth control im on... im only 17 im just a kid... im extremely scared now... although i haven't had any of the side affect i have read here.. im still extremely nervous especially since i have been on the drug for so long... just found out that the birth control im on could cause * Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) * Pulmonary embolism (PE) * Stroke * Heart attack * Death * High blood pressure * Heart disease * High cholesterol * Overweight * Liver cancer * Gallbladder problems * Diabetes is this true? could i really die?... im terrified right now
