I had a lot of the negative side effects listed above by others including depression, fatigue, trouble concentrating, aching body, restless nights, irritability, my arms and legs falling asleep and so on. Then I found out that i had a vitamin b deficiency - a lot of these symptoms are also symptoms of vitamin b deficiency. Yaz along with other oral contraceptives interferes with the bodies ability to absorb vitamin B. Taking vitamin B supplements a few times a day has helped me. They are water soluble so you do not have to worry about overdosing- if you take more than your body needs you will just pee out whatever is extra.

The same thing happened to me!! I am 24 years old and they found I had a level of 144 B12 serum which apparently is exremely low. I have been taking a series of injections and sublingual b12 for the last week and 1/2 but alot of my symptoms are still lingering. how long did it take you to feel 100%???

I had a vitamin defiency from yasmin as well (not just B vitamins though). After a horrid year of getting sick all the time and being depressed, I took a multi-vitamin and noticed a difference right away! I wish doctors informed women of this, as it is not that hard to pop a multi-vitamin.
