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.

Hello,
-- By spronze | Reply | Private Message meI have been reading the forum for a couple weeks now. I am a former Yasmin user. I was on the birth control pill for 2-3 years and stopped it 3 months ago.
While on the pill I started experiencing horrible anxiety and panic attacks. I had dizzy spells and was always tired. My ankles and wrists would swell for no reason, it didn't matter what time of the month it was. I also had high cholesterol and I have never had high cholesterol before in my life. I am a dedicated runner with a petite figure, no family history of high cholesterol, and maintain a healthy diet low in fat and high in fruits and vegetables.
Now since I have stopped the pill I have a bit more energy and no more dizzy spells. I am still experiencing anxiety and panic attacks, sometimes worse. And happy to say that I just got my cholesterol checked and it is within normal limits.
But my questions to you all:
-Did anyone have any issues with hair loss after they stopped the pill? I seem to be having a moderate amount of hair loss, can anyone agree?
-Since I have stopped the pill I have failed in getting my period and I'm not pregnant, can anyone relate?
-How long does it take to get my body back to normal?
Thanks for your time
