The way that all of you are feeling is not in your head I promise...

The way that all of you are feeling is not in your head I promise. I was on Yasmin for several months. I had heart palpitations, numbness of the toes and cramps in legs. These are only a few of my symptoms. I have had two children and never even had post partum depression, but while on Yasmin I was short with my children and husband and even didnt want to be around my kids. I was depressed while on Yasmin, at least I thought I was, I even went as far as to call the Dr. and get medicine for depression, I stepped back and took a look at my symptoms and how they only occured since my Yasmin use. I decided not to take one pill for depression to make up for another pill (birth control) I stopped the Yasmin and within a couple of weeks felt better. I wasnt clinicaly depressed, I was Yasmin depressed, big difference. Me personally, I am thinking about stopping birth control pills all together and using other barrier methods, I dont like the thought of putting extra hormones on my body. To all the women who are feeling the awful side effects of Yasmin, I urge you to please step back and compare the before and after you while on Yasmin, it is the pill I promise, they need to discontinue this drug before someone has a stroke or worse.
