Q: Yasmin- Possible Strange Side Effects
asked by: vwbuggirl3 on June 29th, 2005

I have been taking yasmin since january, and recently (the past month) I have been feeling rotten- from lightheaded and dizzy when I stand up, which makes my heart race and then I get nauseaous, to being extremely tired, constantly feeling like im going to get a migraine but never actually getting the headache.

I have read online about strange side effects of yasmin but im not sure how accurate any of it is, the packet insert doesnt mention any side effects like this, but the page on webmd.Com does. My regular doctor told me it was highly unlikely it was the birth control, but after at least of month of not wanting to get out of bed most days im starting to wonder.

Just curious if anyone else has experienced anything like this- my doctor also said it could be a possible viral infection, but im not too convinced of that one.

Ahh stop taking yasmin
check out medications.Com and look it up before you get long-term damage. I'm passionately anti-yasmin. I had the exact same thing. My heart raced and I was depressed and my anxiety soared. So many women have had horrible experiences with it. More women have posted negatively about yasmin than about any other birth control i've researched.

I had similar symptoms on yasmin - loss of appitite (lost 10 lbs), very tired, etc...

Try something else as soon as you're done with this pill pack!!!
