My daughter was on Yasmin for about a year approximately 3 years ago.She constantly felt ill and was always at her regular doctor with excruciating head aches, dizziness, respiratory problems, bladder infections, kidney infections etc etc.A battery of tests including CAT scans etc showed nothing.Then came the manic mood swings, depression, rage and severe panic anxiety attacks which grew worse over time.(We are talking about a former gymnast who lead her team to the State finals in H.S. and used to be cool, calm and collected tumbling on a 4inch wide balance beam 4 feet off the floor!) She finally stopped taking Yasmin after I spoke with a gynecologist I met during mutual sports activities our children shared. He told me to get my daughter off of Yasmin immediately. It took about 6 mos. before she was close to being back to normal. Taking Yasmin caused a number of issues for my daughter - some of which I believe she still deals with today in the aftermath of the effects of this drug. PLEASE if there is a class action lawsuit against these people for putting this out there, she DEFINITELY needs to be a part of it and retrieve some sort of compensation. Thank you!
I have found an attorney willing to look at people's cases who have suffered from Yaz/Yasmin. He is based out of Kansas City. Also I would highly recommend googling "yasminsurvivors group there is a ton of useful and insightful information on this forum. The attorney's info is:
