I was on Yasmin for 1.5 years. Ended up with chest pains, severe Vitamin D deficiency, B12/Folic Acid deficiency, elevated potassium and unbelievable fatigue/exhaustion along with muscle loss. I have now been off for almost 3 years and do not feel completely recovered. I'd encourage folks to google Yasmin/Yaz lawsuits as they are just beginning and I expect will eventually come off of the market due to finally, recognized increased risk of these pills with pulmonary embolisms, stroke, heart attack and blood clots. Also, if you google Yasmin Survivors, there is an international forum of women who have been sharing and contributing now for last 3 years as well.

I survived a massive DVT in my left leg that went from my knee to my belly button that developed after I took Yasmin for two months. My leg has vein damage and is still swollen most of the time and it's been two years. It also hurts all the time and I have frequent leg cramps, I'm guessing from poor circulation. It was definitely not worth it.
