I was just wondering if any one else has expierecned the side effects I have. I'm not sure if they're from the pill or not so I'm wondering if anyone can relate. Now first I do get bad headaches and I know those are from this pill. My eye sight got slightly worse and I can't wear contacts well which again, are side effects from the pill. However, my "new" side effects are nausea, balance issues, I feel like my body swells when I get too hot (no I'm not pregnant), I also just feel so lethargic and tired all the time. I have no motivation to do anything, especially when it comes to being active. I'm not depressed but I'm getting there because of the laziness. I do have a few mood swings before my period but not often and I usually know they're mood swings and I'm being ridiculous. OH! Also I get this weird rash on my body, it's like a bunch of red blotchy spots when the sun is on me too long or when I get too hot. Does any of this happen to anyone else?

Yes, all of these sound familiar. By the way, the rash that you are getting when you spend too much time in the sun is from the pill for sure. It causes your skin to become very sensitive (photo-sensitivity), and if you lay in a tanning bed, it can make you burn or can make your skin thin out until you can see the blood vessels. It happened to me. Now, since getting off of this awful pill, I still bruise very easily. Thankfully, though, I am starting to get my sun staying power back...it takes a long time for the symptoms to go away. Took me 2 years+.

i only started taking pill 4 years ago and when im in the sun this rash is unbearable, all the doctors say is no its not the yasmin. But its the only thing ive changed in my life and im convinced it is. are you on another pill now? i dont have any other syptoms taking this pill but really need to change it, as im miserable on holidays. after you came off it did you get rash again?
