HELLO Ladies!
I to WAS a Yasmin user, I have been off the pill 2 days, as my blood pressure was elevated.
I am so glad to read that I am not crazy! I am providing a list of my side effects:
1. Dizziness
2. Skin rash on hands/tops of thighs
3. Headache in back of head/neck
4. Night sweats
5. Calf cramps at night in bed
6. Feeling of impending doom, ie. ANXIETY!
7. Lack of sexual interest
8. Swollen ankles
I must say that I did not have abdominal bloating or a gas issue. My appetite was good and I did not experience any different food preferences.
I always have been a "high strung" person but this stuff makes every little thing seem like the end of the world!
My GYN wants me to follow up with her in months. I WILL NOT ever take Yasmin again nor recommed it. My GYN made it sound like a "wonder pill".
As I am 47 years old, I think I'll just "RIDE THE TIDE" on the menstrual stuff!
Good luck ladies!
