Thanks all of you for adding your experiences.
I dont have much new to add, but I do want to tell you the effects I have been feeling. I am usually a very together person. I used to sleep 7 hours a night getting up with no problems at 6am to start my day with a workout. Now, i can barely get out of bed by 7:30am, no matter how early I sleep. I am just exhausted. I am usually a very good multitasker, but I am now distracted and forgetful. Some other symptoms are:
- dry mouth
- panic attacks
-crying ( and I am a pretty tough person, I was shocked to cry over a missed telephone call)
- anxiety
- insomnia
-weight gain
-diarreah
-spotting in second and third weeks
-dry facial skin
- breakouts on face and body
-breast tenderness and swelling in second week
-hands swelling during the night when I sleep
- i cant get through a night without getting up to go to the bathroom at least twice.
-distracted
I am going off this pill. This is the first I have ever taken and the experience has been horrible.
I have not decided on a new on yet, or if I trust any of them not to affect me the same way.

Severe depression,personality change, suicidal thoughts, panic attacks. Acne on face and body, hair growth on face, red,blotchy skin, bloated face. Hair loss on head. Constant hunger, sugar and caffeine cravings. Constant feeling of cold, even in warm environment. Frequent urination, dry eyes and mouth. Greasy hair and skin. Muscle and joint pains. Raised blood pressure. All these symptoms began when I started taking Yasmin and have cleared up since I stopped taking it. Never again!
