I've had just about all of them in the last 6 months. I've taken Yasmin for 2 years. The first year was relatively symptom free. I even lost 15 pounds, that I've been able to keep off the entire time. I bragged about the RX to friends who may be interested and thought it was the miracle pill. I starting taking the pill about 2 years ago to regulate my period and ease PMS symptoms, which it did for over a year.
However, in the last few months, I've had the following symptoms and thought I was just premenopausal
Mood swings
Fogginess, loss of concentration
Not caring about anything
Totally unmotivated
severe stomach pains, cramps bloating
heart palpatations
bladder pain
night sweats
and the most bothersome of all insomia, so bad I started taking Ambien regularly to sleep, which has it's own set of side affects.
I just got off of Yasmin 4 days ago. So I'm now going through the crampting and bloating from doing that. I hope I get back to a semi-normal life style. I work full time and go to school and not being able to concentrate really stinks.
