I started taking Yasmin last Monday (it's Thursday today) I was perscribed the drug for the beginning symptoms of menopause (I am beginning to have 21 day periods and severe mood swings) My ob gave this to me and sarafem, which I have been on before, but have had no reaction too. So anyway, Tuesday I did not feel like eating. Furthermore, it has just gotten worse. I have severe indegestion and almost vomited last night. I also have had a pretty bad panic attack and shortness of breath last night, which is a sympton that I have never experienced AFTER starting sarafem. I wokeup this a. m. and decided to look for possible side effects on the web and found this site. Wow, am I shocked to see others with the same result as me. And very thankful that I put the 2 together before taking this pill for an extended period of time. So gals, if you feel ill, it might not be the flu. Call your OB! I'd rather have mood swings and bleed every 21 days than feel like this...YUK!

I posted about a week ago, and have since gone off the pill. The last night I took it was last Monday, 4/14. I'm already feeling noticeably better. Still not 100%, but better. Got my period Friday night and was an emotional wreck that night and Saturday (uncontrollable crying to the point of burst blood vessels in the skin around my eyes), but yesterday was good. Today I'm feeling mellow and tired, but no anxiety, minimal headache, decreased dizziness, and much more clear-headed. Will continue to post about my progress. Best of luck to you all!
