1 | Heavy periods and anemia | Do not take this !!! Constant feeling of nausea / loss of appetite, stomach pain , fatigue , anxiety , feeling sense of losing touch with reality. I have stopped for the last few days and already starting to feel back to my usual self | F | 27 | 8 days 30 1X day | 2/27/2023 | 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.

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.

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 1X day | 5/11/2021 | 1 | Contraception | Extreme Nausea, Vomiting, Restlessness,shaking body and Tiredness... Please DO NOT POISON YOUR BODY WITH THIS GUNK!

Tummy is bloated so much that I look like I'm at least 5months pregnant! | Please DO NOT take this pill!!! Yesterday I was so unsteady and shaking the entire time,I even cut my finger somehow from the constant shaking 🥺😠| F | 35 | 3 days 20mg 1X day | 4/22/2021 | 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 1X day | 3/22/2021 | 1 | Contraception | Violent vomiting, extreme nausea, painful stomach cramps and abdominal pain (all of this made me call an ambulance and go to hospital because I was in agony) panic attacks so bad that the doctor's thought I was having a seizure, numbness and tingling in my right arm and leg (got tested for a stroke) and lots of crying. | DON'T INGEST THIS POISON! | F | 23 | 4 days 1X day | 3/16/2021 | 3 | For heavy period | First day after taking this pills I feel headache , vomiting, stomach pain at all not feel comfortable but it's stop my heavy period but I feel sick | F | 39 | 0 days One 1X day | 1/19/2021 | 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 30mg 1X day | 12/12/2020 | 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 1X day | 12/5/2020 | 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 1X day | 11/23/2020 | 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 1X day | 10/17/2020 |
