Hi there, I am amazed by the testimonials. I live in Canada and I think they're (the Dr.'s) are handing out Birth control and SSRI's like candy. I guess my anger is funnelled to the FDA and drug companies. I haven't met a Dr to date that when you have adverse reactions to such medications actually agree that it is the MEDICATION that's causing the side effects, I have not been told to stop taking birth control I was on Mirena IUD WORST thing ever, I asked my GP to remove it, he said he "didn't understand why I was experiencing such adverse effects, the mirena IUD has such a low dose of hormone" let me ask, how does yyour body know, when it has a foreign object that contains hormone "oh, I'm supposed to regulate and metabolize these 2.00 g of progesterone at .001/day"! now these are not the true measures, I'm simply making a point. YOu have something in your body it's all or nothing. I am only taking Yasmin NOTHING else, I thought I was having kidney failure, I can't believe I have not chalked it up to this BCP. I was diagnosed with endo, it was confirmed via laparoscopy approx. a year ago. They talked me into Mirena to "control" the endo, I finally got it out, they put me on the pill ortho-tri-cyclen, adverse effects, just stopped taking them, started to feel great, got prenant soon, but miscarried after 5 weeks, then bled for about 5 weeks. they put me on yasmin to control the bleeding did not work, put me back on ortho (it has a higher level of estrogen, which should stop the bleeding) that didn't work, they put me on ovarol which is even higher estrogen, that DID work the bleeding finally stopped, when I finished the pack, thay put me on Yasmin instead, nothing but problems; can't breathe, panicked, weight gain, bloating, no appetite then sudden strong appetite, extreme moodiness, irratibilty, uncontolable emotions. So the bleeding episode was undiagnosed and they just put me on the pill. Thank you.
