Hi my name is Kari and I have been on Yasmin for about three months. I have experienced some of the same complications as what I have been reading. I have had shakiness, dizziness, loss of sex drive, moodiness, sore breasts, but most serious was just today when I happened to look down at my ankles and could not see the bones. I have so much edema that it leaves big indentations when I press my finger into the side of my foot even. I have also had tingling and numbness in both wrists and legs. Another thing was last week went to a water park and was burned so badly that I have blisters. I have never had a sun burn in my life, and have been on several other BC pills. I was diagnosed with PCOS and was first put on Metformin, a generic Glucophage, which is the newest treatment I was told. That medication did not agree with me so my doctor switched me to Yasmin. I am feeling very depressed as nothing seems to work and losing hope. I find comfort though in just knowing there are other woman out there that have had these same side effects and that I am not just losing my mind. I was starting to feel like a hypochondriac. Thanks for you messages.

Does anyone know what percentage of women taking Yasmin experience the terrible side effects you all have here? I just began taking Yasmin a week and a half ago, and am now terrified! I woke up this morning with a rash-type thing all over my face, predominantly on my forehead. I thought at first that it was a serious breakout that had just occured overnight, but then I realized that the little bumps were almost like little blisters all over my face!! It looks like terrible acne and is red and hurts! Has anyone else experienced this? Should I switch already? What has been an overwhelmingly positive alternative pill for most of you all on here? SO glad I found this board! Thank you!
