| 4 | Severe cramps, ovarian cysts | Well, I love Yasmin, I didn't gain weight, didn't make me tired...my skin has been really clear, however, I have NO sex drive and i've been told that I'm much more irritable...I'm switching to Desogen to see if there is any change, but if there isn't I'm definately going back. | Please e-mail me if you have any questions about Yasmin...I've been on it for a long time! | F | 21 | 4 years | 12/21/2005 | 4 | birth control and acne | no side effects that I can think of other than my sex drive has gone down the tubes | this is a great pill that has definitely aided in clearing up my acne. I have not put on any weight while on this pill, but i exercise regularly and try my best to eat right. No physical ailments. My sex drive has not been up to par, and I am strongly considering switching to another pill (Mircette I believe) because of this. | F | 25 | 12 months | 12/20/2005 | 4 | Treat acne | Bigger breasts | Clear skin, lighter periods, no problems on this pill at all sept bigger breasts... | F | 25 | 4 months | 12/11/2005 | 4 | birth control | none except very little sex drive | yasmin has been fantastic for me. i have had no side effects so far except for the lack of libido. i dont want to change it but i might if my sex drive doesnt improve. | F | 20 | 2 years | 11/21/2005 | 4 | regulate periods | so far, i've been on it just over a month and i have lost weight, i feel pretty good. but i've been getting cramps in my right calf, i don't know whether this is because i've been going to the gym or becaus of the pill. | i've found it to be pretty good, my sex drive actually seems to have increased and i've lost weight. my appetite isn't as big as it was. i am suffering from a little insomnia but not too bad, otherwise i feel great. my last pill dropped my libido and for some reason i now think about sex a lot more and want it a lot more. i have to say, i got a fright when i saw all the horror stories about yasmin but to be honest i havent noticed much of those side effects. i still havent got my period though and am now started my second pack. | F | 28 | 24 days | 10/28/2005 | 4 | Birth Control & Heavy Periods | pros for me: lighter periods, pain is not severe anymore, acne cleared up cons for me: lack of sex drive | I've noticed that I've been having some memory troubles. I don't know if it's related to taking Yasmin or from giving birth 2 months before starting Yasmin. I've never been on Yasmin before and I was not on bc before my pregnancy. So far, I am very satisfied that my periods aren't as heavy and painful as they used to be. I used to be wrapped in pain for 3 - 4 days without being able to function normally. This started again after giving birth, so my doctor suggested Yasmin for the pain and of course as a birth control. So far, so good about that, but my sex drive has diminished to nothing. | F | 29 | 4 months | 10/25/2005 | 4 | Yes | For two years I tried different bc pills and bled non-stop and had bad mood swings. My doc told me about Yasmin and I tried it. I didn't have any side effects and felt great. However, I stopped them for awhile and then started again a few months later. In the beginning, the emotions were a bit wacky, but I recovered. I did get palpitations, which I didn't like, but overall it was great. I even slept really well while taking it. | F | 29 | 8 months | 10/17/2005 | 4 | Birth Control | Cramps, breast tenderness, spotting | Did regulate my period, but spotting has been going on for the last couple of months, I am switching my pill now but I have taken Yasmin for a while | F | 28 | 2 years | 9/8/2005 | 4 | Birth control | Depression for 2 months,initial bloating,cramping,heavier periods | Most symptoms relieved after 2-3 months, actually lost weight, periods still heavy and cramps worse but worth it to me, be patient with it and let it get into your system. | F | 34 | 6 months | 9/6/2005 | 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 1X day | 5/11/2021 | 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 | 3 | Hormonal Acne | Stomach cramps, bloating, nausea, stomach inflammation. | I was prescribed to this medication by my dermatologist. He said it was an aggressive form of treatment that delivered excellent results. My acne has cleared up 100% but now I can't eat anything and when I do, I suffer. I have stomach soreness for hours after I eat, and even in my sleep. There have been some days where I sacrificed eating just to avoid the pain. My coworkers thought it was helpful that I couldn't eat since I wanted to lose weight anyway. This was a reminder of how women will suffer and sacrifice their health just for aesthetics. This is not ok, and after seeing all of these comments I know this is not by chance. The medication makes you sick and could permanently damage your body. It's only been 3 weeks and I have been miserable. Screw that, I will just find a healthier way to deal with my acne and trash this poison. | F | 34 | 3 weeks 1X day | 7/28/2020 | 3 | Birth control and acne | AMAZING for acne - face cleared up in the first week. BUT needed up in a&e on my first month of taking Yasmin due to DVT and blood clots. Made me cry about everything. Your health is more important than clear skin ladies - do not take the pill | Avoid | F | 22 | 60 days 1X day | 7/23/2020 | 3 | Heavy periods, ovulation pain, cyct | Stomach pain, diarrhea, dry skin, headaches, bloating | I was taking yaz for more than 6 months and had spotting between my period when I switched to Yasmin as doctor suggested. No more spotting but other side effects are not fun! I'm waiting for a visit with my doctor soon. | F | 38 | 2 months 1X day | 7/3/2020 | 3 | Prevent pregnancy | I am constantly hungry ever since I got on yasmin. I have headaches n get dizzy. I also feel somewhat unhappy I don't know if I am depressed yet. | F | 26 | 8 days | 11/23/2016 | 3 | For pcod | After taking Yasmin for 4 months my face is fully pigmented plus patchy skin like dark brown ugly spots all over but periods hv changed for better .... But m upset coz it's my face | F | 31 | 1 days | 9/5/2015 | 3 | Birth Control | - Went from an A cup to a C - plenty of weight gain - depression/anxiety/guilty feelings | The pill does what it's supposed to, I've been sexually active with my boyfriend for around a year and a half and never worried about pregnancy. I've decided to tough out the side effects because it's worth it... But don't get me wrong they do suck. I miss having motivation to do things and being happy without forcing it. | F | 18 | 2 years | 4/21/2015 | 3 | Acne | Breast growth, severe menstrual cramps | I have acne and was taking Diane 35 but you can only be on that for 6 months (I was on for 4 years) it cleared up my skin and I was switch to this because it isn't as "harsh". Personally I find it okay beside th God awful cramps I get while on it. I'd rather deal with cramps then have acne so I deal with them. | F | 18 | 4 months | 12/18/2014 | 3 | Pcos,ovarian cyst, acne, bad cramps | I have been taking this pill for exactly a week today and I have been getting bloating and cramps I am hoping the cramps stop and go away after the first pack. | I am very afraid of taking bc period because of all the scary things I read about but my acne is out of control and I know my acne is directly related to my pcos because it's the same months when my cramps are horrible and i have gone to the doc and they have found the cyst. So I am praying that zarah the generic of yazmin helps me and I don't get sick. Because I don't know what else to do. My acne and my cramps are terrible. This last period before starting zarah I took 800mg of ibuprofen and the pain was still bad. | F | 25 | 1 weeks | 11/4/2014 | 3 | Ovarian cyst | Nausea, bloating, gas, leg cramping, anxiety in second month, dizziness | I was not happy being on Yasmin. I am 40 years old. I did not have any breakthrough bleeding but yes the fake period did come. The nausea was heavy in the first two weeks, I could not contain food very well. There was a sense of anxiety - something going wrong all the time. I was petrified of the risk of blood clots and what the BCP does to our bodies. Not taking it again ever. | F | 2 months 1X day | 5/8/2014 |
