I start taking Yasmin 2 years ago,and discontinued it because of the melasma that I got on my face.Now that I am reading all this posts,I am connecting dots.I had been having horrible headaches,feeling bloated,very tired,depressed,rapid palpitations,chest pain,heavy legs and varicose veins.I never thought it could be caused by the pill,I really thought I was because I was aging(Im 32)Now I know the reason.As soon as I stop taking it all the symptoms stop too.Now I have been feeling great,but I was attributing to the fact that I start taking organic apple cider vinegar, MSM and some more vitamins.
