I am on my second month of Ocella, the Yasmin generic. Within the first day or two, I had palpitations, chest pain and insomnia. I thought my body was just adjusting to the new hormones. I have just started my second pack and I still have chest pain daily. The only thing that I have found to make me feel better is when I run on the treadmill. I would think my body should have adjusted by now and I do not want to cause any long term damage. I just wish I was not having this issue since my oily, acne prone skin is finally looking pretty good.

Stop taking this IMMEDIATELY if you are experiencing chest pain. Tell your Doctor. Please see the posts here about risk and see/google "Yasmin Survivors".

I want to second what jasmineeudora said above. Chest pain is a SERIOUS symptom and COULD indicate blood clots in your lungs. You need to seek medical attention immediately and be tested for blood clots. I learned this because my daughter DIED in her third month on Yasmin. Do not assume that you will "adjust" to Yasmin if you give it more time. My daughter made that mistake and paid for it with her life. Google "Pulmonary Emboli" and "DVT" and learn the symptoms of blood clots. It could save your life.
