I can't believe I found this info, two days ago I was ready to make an appt with my Dr for some type of anti-depressant, I have never been depressed before so I started looking online at different meds, and I found all these sites about Yasmin. About 10 months ago I started taking Yasmin after I gave birth to my second child. Every month got worse and I really am changing into a totally different person, crazy (sad, numb, mean, paranoid ext..) No sex drive, vision problems. I kept waiting to be happy again. Thanks to all the women who have shared these experiences, I stopped taking this pill yesterday and I am finally excited about having control over myself again.

Hi,
I have been on yasmin for nearly 2 years. For a long time i thought it was the best thing since sliced bread. A couple of weeks ago i decided to come off it just to give my body a bit of a rest. Since then, i feel like a different person, i feel so good. This is why i started reading up on the pill to see if it was that that had made me feel so different. Since coming off yasmin my sex drive has increased no end, i didn't realise before that it had decreased so much, just putting lack of sex down to work pressures and the like. Also, ihad terrible headaches all the time, and although i haven't put weight on, i just couldn't lose it no matter how i tried.

However, i have experienced some abdominal pain since coming off, i think its just me ovulating, but i'm feeling it in both sides and was wondering if anybody else had this too.

Also, i have read in a couple of posts about vision problems associated with yasmin. Before i went on yasmin, i had perfect vision, i had glasses for close work, but i only needed them if i were to be sat at a computer for hours on end. However over this time, my eyesight has gone quite bad really quickly, and i was wondering if this could be a side effect of yasmin? Its something that had never crossed my mind before.
Thanks for this forum, its open my eyes to so much, and if anyone could offer me any advice, i'd really appreciate it!!
