First of all, I want to say that I'm sorry for all of you having ...

EVERYONE is different, u too. that u dont have any problems doesnt mean u will not have them later. i was on the sameBC for 1,5 years it was bad the last 6 month on it, then i got another one and it was even worst. Some people r just too sensitive to fake hormons some not. if u thing that most of us didnt try our best u r wrong. its nice to talk when u r fine, we know how we feel.

Go blow smoke up someone elses, Mrs Williams. The women who are suffering and coming here for help and an understanding ear do not want to hear this kind of bullshit. You are just another arm chair ' wanna be' doctor who thinks they are accomplishing something by offering simplistic and naive advice, like "talk to your doctors..." and "be open and pay attention..." You need to realize that these women have talked to their doctors, some over and over and over again are are getting NO WHERE with that. They would not be bothering to post here if simply talking to their doctors remedied their situation. They ARE talking and NO ONE is listening. What simple advice do you have to the hundreds of women who took this pill and not only got sick while taking it but are still sick after stopping it? Talk to your doctor, right? I don't think so. There are so many women out there right now screaming for a lawsuit for what this pill has done to them, and some of those womens voices have been silenced forever because they are dead, yes DEAD, from taking this pill and all that is left of them is bitter, angry and bewildered family members wanting answers. In all my years, I have never seen one particular birth control pill destroy the health of so many so quickly as this one has. There is something wrong with this medication, and I say count yourself extremely lucky that you have yet to suffer any ill effects from taking it. You say you're sorry about the physical discomfort that the women are experiencing right now? PHYSICAL DISCOMFORT? ARE YOU FOR REAL? Try night sweats, night mares, tremors, leg cramps, arm cramps, mind numbing headaches that no medicine can stop, numbness and tingling in entire body, heart palps, tachycardia, paralyzing anxiety, extreme suicidal depression, irrational fear, sky rocketing blood pressure, never ending fatigue, jobs lost, husbands and boyfriends lost, education lost, ability to take care of children lost, and the cherry on the cake, blood clots and pulmonary embolisms with lives lost or health permanately ruined. I do not think that your apology for physical discomfort quite cuts it, does it? Go back, read more posts, follow up and educate yourself better about what so many of these women are really going through, I mean REALLY going through, and then make amends with all those you have insulted with your post by coming back here to apologize. You owe it to so many...

Dear bethds, thank you for your answer to ms. williams. Dear ms. williams, the suffer I lived through because of Yasmin cannot be explained in words. It is very easy to talk when something wrong doesnt happend to your body. Do you litterally know what does it mean to have ongoing tachicardia, unbearable depression and anxiety, emourmenss weight loss to a degree where it gets hard to walk, not being able to understand the conversations around you, crying for no reason, having hypoglicemic attacks at the middle of the night, having severe obsessive thoughts..If you did, you wouldnt write such a post like this. Me and my family lived the hardest times of our lives due to this drug both psychologically and financially. I'm a clinical psychologist with an MA degree, I really know to be carefull before taking a drug, and believe me I asked 3 different doctors before using yasmin and one of them was a psychiatrist. If they are neglecting such side effects who wouldnt? I mean we are not subjects of a experiemnt, we are humans who suffered so badly from this drug. Now, everybody make their own choices in life, and I choosed to use it and live through the horrible outcome. life is yours, but please dont make such arrogant statements like this which makes thousands of women verrrryy verrryy angry. Annd pray that you will be very lucky like this for the rest of your life..

Telling people they aren't giving yasmin enough time is extremely dangerous. Unless you are a GP best to keep such advice to yourself.
