I was prescribed Yasmin a couple months
ago, but was hesitant to start it after I
did a Google search and read about many
terrible Yasmin experiences. I finally
started taking it today, but I'm having
second thoughts again...especially because
I'm naturally prone to anxiety, headaches,
and heart palpitations, I'm afraid this
pill will worsen those conditions. Would
you recommend that I stay off of birth
control pills because of this? Or
recommend a different pill than Yasmin?
I've read that there should be some
correlation between pill dosage and
weight...I weigh about 107 and I think
there are lower dose pills than Yasmin.
Maybe the only way I'll know whether or
not it works for me it is to try it for
awhile...
Any advice or suggestions are appreciated!

If you look up any type of birth control
you are likely to find reviews like this.
What you have to remember is that normally
people only bother to go and review
something if they have a terrible
experience with it. For example, say you
went to Burger King and got your meal and
it was good. How likely are you to go
online and write a review about it? Not
very. Now, say they burnt your burger,
you found a fingernail in your fries, and
your soda was stale. How likely would you
be to go online and complain? Much more
likely.
Birth control does have some negative side
effects for some people, but the majority
of people are able to handle birth control
without many negative side effects. If
there are any, most people grow out of the
side effects and stop feeling them a few
months into the pill once their body gets
used to the hormones.
I would give it a chance and try the pill.
If after time you feel bad symptoms and
you don't think you can handle it, talk to
your doctor. She can help you figure out
the method of birth control that is best
for you and recommend some non-hormonal
types if need be (for example, an IUD or
cervical caps).
Good luck!
