I'm just in shock. I can't believe that this sort of thing can go on. My experience is all over this page. And the seven after it. I graduated high school with a 99 GPA and was at the top of my class. I was accepted to medical school along with my admission to college. I started Yasmin at the same time. All of a sudden I was getting classic migraines multiple times every month. Soon, Yasmin became Yaz. Okay, fair enough, nurse says to switch, I'll switch. Yaz is said to be safer. Time goes by... I'm irritable, I've lost my sex drive, I'm dragging myself out of bed in the morning if I get to classes at all, but I miss lots of them. My GPA falls from a 4.0 to a 3.6. I had to come home last semester because of how sick I was. Nurse says that the doctor wants me off Yaz because of the risk of classic migraines. Liver enzymes were screwed up - fatty liver at 20?? - and cholesterol is backwards. My heart races a lot, too. My anxiety is out of control and I'm depressed for the first time in my life. I've been off Yaz since November of 2008 and still haven't had a period. Additionally, I still haven't MET my gynecologist, despite asking repeatedly if I can see her. Now she's ruled out PCOS and all other causes and wants me to "jump start" my period with more synthetic hormones. This feels so wrong. I have IBS, nausea, back pain, and abdomen pain. This is all just too much. I'm disillusioned with the medical field now and am having a hard time accepting that I wanted to put myself in a position in which I'd have to either perpetuate the problem or fight it. It doesn't make sense. There needs to be a lawsuit, and now.

Hi, I recently saw that you replied to a post 2 years ago about yasmin elevating your liver enzymes....i was just wondering WHICH enzyme was it?

I had the same experience.....i took ocella (generic for yasmin) and took a blood test after my first pack and it raised my liver enzyme ALT...i've been seeing a lot of other ppl had their enzymes go up...but didn't specifiy which enzyme?

can i ask what came of your situation? I'm a little worried as my internist has sent me to a specialist now ...they think i have fatty liver

which liver enzymes were elevated in your test?
