 1  PMDD Emotional distress, severe OCD diagnosis, panic attacks, paranoia, stomach pain, delusions, acute anxiety, poor sleep, bouts of rage This pill is a one way ticket to a livable hell. I cannot speak in enough detail that I nearly felt compelled to go to the ER because the emotional turmoil has gotten so out of hand. My boyfriend is exhausted, I am exhausted. I cannot stop crying for no reason, I get so angry and then cry and say things I don't mean. It wasn't until I realized that these symptoms were only existing during my duration of taking the pill. I am so scared this has caused interpersonal damage and mental damage. For anyone even questioning this as a form of birth control, DO NOT TAKE IT. F 26 60 days

 1  Irregular Period, PCOS Worst pill EVER. I got extreme anxiety with regular panic attacks (every week), depression , suicidal thoughts ,severe OCD, low sex drive and paranoid thoughts. I completely dissociated from my original self and had no idea what was going on until I visited this page and realized I am not alone . I cried every day and now I will cut it off permanently. No weight gain and my periods were stabilized , still I would not recommend this ANYONE. Seek alternative ways, mental health is not worth damaging for this pill. F 22 4 years

 3  Iron deficiency/contraception Depression, suicidal thoughts, extreme fatigue, anxiety came back despite being on antidepressants for anxiety. Worked amazing for skin, contraception & stopping my period completely as I'd run packs back to back - no break thru bleeding either. I would Recommend but it isn't worth the mental price you pay. Helped alleviate all period symptoms relating to cysts and endometriosis but the suicidal thoughts & irritablity were constant. Especially fatigue F 21 10 months

 1  Acne Clear skin, heart palpitations, panic attacks, trouble swallowing, swollen leg. The ONLY plus is my skin became clearer but this is not worth the physical side effects it has had on my body. I'm a healthy person who runs, bikes and walks regularly this put a stop to all of this. The first week I noticed a pain in my leg which gradually turned into swelling where I was admitted into ACU for a blood clot. Luckily I didn't have one but my leg has swelled for an unknown reason to the doctors because of the pill. This week after this I started having trouble breathing where I was forced to ring 111. I've never had difficulty with breathing so this was a scare. I've been having on and off panic attacks for the last 42hours and still suffering with breathing problems, sensation of a lump in my throat and a racing heart. I've been off the pill for 3 days now and will not be going back on the YASMINE pill. I urge people to stay away from this pill as doctors have little information for why so many women are feeling this way. DON'T risk it! I never write reviews for anything so please listen to this and others. F 25 45 days

DON'T INGEST THIS POISON! F 23 4 days

 1  Birth control & helping skin DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG or its sister drug ELOINE. How this pill is on the market, baffles AND worries me. Thankfully I linked the side effects to the same time I started taking this pill so I have now come off. I had EXTREME ANXIETY (I thought I was going mental. I have no previous mental health issues until I took this) PANIC ATTACKS EXTREME NAUSEA / SICKNESS I have two young children, and I am gobsmacked my doctor gave me a pill like this to take. I could barely look after my children as it made me so ill. Thank god I noticed the side effects were linked. Do NOT take this contraceptive pill!!! F 25 4 days

 2  PMS Im an athlete and I train everyday as well as counting macros and calories. I did not gain any significant amount of weight (+- 1 or 3 pounds on and off during the two months) BUT sticking the diet was much harder than before, as if I was permanently PMS. I also had stretch marks appear on my buttock, something I had never experienced in my life before, even during puberty! I was also constantly bleeding a little. F 15 2 months

 1  To regulate periods I was happy at first because it regulated my periods, I was bleeding randomly all the time, sometimes 3 times a month and my periods were really irregular, yasmin fixed this but in return I have been vomiting or near vomiting each morning, I have been so anxious and paranoid, arguing with my partner all the time, crying. Constantly crying, feeling sh*t about myself, very tired falling asleep randomly F 22 2 months

 1  PCOS Headaches, Nausea, Chest pain, Irregular heart rate (40-140), Tingling fingers/toes, Light Headed, Sense of Doom Went from being a healthy 33 year old to a worried wreck. 2 urgent care visits with no findings. Trip to the ER where they found an elevated d dimer but no clots thank goodness. The only thing I changed in my life was taking this dangerous drug. I stopped taking it for 5 days now but my heart still races into the 120s when I get up to do anything. Now I just have to wait until it's out of my system and no one can tell me how long until I feel normal again. Anyone else have similar symptoms and how long did it take them to subside? Please help! F 33 16 days
