I started taking Yasmin in October 2011. It's my first week off of it, going to the doctor today to try another pill and discuss with her what was going wrong. I weighed 71kg before I started taking it I had lost 9 kg from January 2011 by the worse eating habits and less exercise than I have now.
I now weigh 81kg, I put on 10kg in less than a year after starting Yasmin. I started playing netball this year so that's exercise on a Wednesday night and on a Saturday, I also started Personal training at my local gym, so that's on a Monday and on a Thursday. I wasn't losing any weight at all even though I was exercising 4-5 days a week. I was also eating healthily, Breakfast, snack, Lunch, snack and Dinner. Nothing I was staying the same. It's horrible none of my clothes that were once big on me now don't fit me at all. I don't want to buy any new clothes, the whole winter I have been wearing leggings and baggy jumpers.
I had my university visual arts assessment, I burst out crying in both, I have never once had anxiety so bad, only now on Yasmin.
I am also so tired all the time, I feel nauseous often and nothing seems to make me feel energetic.
A friend suffered badly from depression after taking Yasmin and I have also a little bit.
I wanted to know if anyone lost weight soon after stopping Yasmin? Also what other Pills did they go on and didn't have the same side effects.
