I'm 39 years old and in 2006 i suffered a heart attack while taking Yasmin birth control. In 2007 I had my gallbladder removed. The events happened one year after the other. The heart attack in July of 2006 and the removal of my gallbladder in July of 2007. I never new that this could be from taking Yasmin. I was shocked when the doctor told me i had a heart attack. I'm thinking no way, I'm to young. The only reason why I took the Yasmin was because I have suffered from acne all my life and since I didn't want anymore kids why not use the Yasmin for both. Never in a million years would i think this would have given me all these problems. I now have high blood pressure and I'm still suffering from depression.

Hi mjankins39:

I am sorry to hear of all of the problems you have experienced as a result of taking Yasmin.

I just wanted to let you know about a site called the "Yasmin Survivors Forum" (if you type it into your search engine it will come up in the results list) where there are many women who have taken either Yasmin or Yaz and experienced terrible side effects, who offer advice and support.

In the meantime, I wish you luck and improved health.
Meagan
