Yasmin and persistent cough

Hello:

I too had been prescribed Yasmin from my ob/gyn and immediately stopped taking them after 21/2 weeks. All of the following side effects I had personally experienced every day: break through bleeding, abdominal cramping, back aches, headaches, fatigue, anxiety episodes, crying spells, insecurity feelings, feelings like my body just wanted to have it's period. So after 21/2 weeks of this I let it and boy do I feel great! It was like I was holding back my body from doing what it naturally wanted to do, and I was suffering for it! The only thing is, I have this persistent cough that seems like it just doesn't want to go away. I'm going to go to my doctor in another week if it doensn't, I'm not sure if it is a related side effect. As far as birth control, I haven't had a need to use any lately as my boyfriend and I have just recently broken up, however, my friend tells me that she has been on the patch for 6 months and loves it, I might just try that.
