| 1 | Birth control | Severe nausea and vomiting every single day, severe depression. Crying often. Irritability. Unable to sleep for more than a few hours. I had no appetite whatsoever. | F | 21 | 14 days 1X day | 10/2/2020 | 2 | Periods | Weight gain Severe stretch marks | F | 17 | 60 days 1X day | 9/28/2020 | 1 | Birth control, acne | Extreme cramps in the lower belly. Did not help with my skin either. When it was 7 days of inactive pills - there was no cramps. | I have spent so much money to diagnose the cause of my pain (more then 1000 dollars). Doctors could not understand what is causing it. When the answer was super easy - just stop taking Yasmin and everything would be fine! | F | 35 | 3 months 1X day | 9/5/2020 | 1 | Acne, birth control | Extreme nausea, fatigue, anxious, spaced out, palpitations, sharp chest pains, numb arm and hand, bad mood | Had taken Yasmin a year ago but stopped and then started it again. Had only taken it for 12 days and felt extremely nauseas every day, had anxiety and constantly felt anxious and spaced out so stopped taking. | F | 28 | 12 days 1X day | 8/28/2020 | 4 | birth control | before taking yasmin i had somewhat clear smooth skin now i have acne on my forehead and my nose is really dry. my mood swings are really bad and makes me angry but apart from that my sex drive has increased. | F | 17 | 2 weeks 1X day | 8/25/2020 | 4 | birth control/ regulate hormones | boobs got bigger overnight definitely noticeable. increased sex drive. vaginal dryness. no changes in acne. | F | 15 | 4 days 30 1X day | 7/31/2020 | 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 | 2 | Amenorhea | Weight gain, anxiety, thirst, stretch marks | I started taking this pill because I had the body of a nine year old. I did not have my period for 2 years and when I started Yasmin, I gained a lot of weight, but my skin is awesome | F | 16 | 4 days 1X day | 7/19/2020 | 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 | 1 | Birth control and acne | violent Nausea, disoriented, extreme fatigue, brittle hair, constant crying, crying, crying, crying and oh did I mention extreme nausea? breast hurt, missed period, cramping, anxiety | DON'T DO IT!!! DO NOT TAKE THIS | F | 32 | 1.5 months 1X day | 6/2/2020 | 1 | Acne, birth control | palpitations, panic attacks, leg and hand numbness, chest pressure, heart pain, leg pain, difficulty breathing, pressure in throat, hair loss | Avoid drospirenone. This medication should be pulled from production. Do your research on it and listen to your body if you're feeling anything weird. I took it for one month and two weeks when I had two panic attacks and a sharp pain in my left leg with numbness in my foot. I spent the entire next day with pressure in my chest making it difficult to breath and could feel my heart beating prominently. It felt like it was swollen or something. The only thing different in the last year was this medication. I immediately stopped taking it and for the next 5 days had constant anxiety, chest pressure with sporadic pain, left leg and hand numbness, and left leg pain. Reading more about it and other stories I finally went to the emergency department because I was terrified I had a clot. Thankfully all results came back clear. I am glad I stopped taking Yasmin when I did or who knows what the damage would have been. I had blood work done 3 weeks prior and my white blood cell count was high which could have been an indication of the inflammation it was causing to my cardiovascular system. This medication contains a potassium sparing diuretic which is a major electrolyte in cardiac function and too much potassium in your system can put your heart in danger. They have had so many lawsuits against this company for a reason. Look out for yourself. I have no underlying health conditions, a fit and active person, and no previous reactions to medications or birth control. | F | 28 | 2 months 3mg 1X day | 5/25/2020 | 1 | Horrific periods | I throw up, I cry everyday, my anxiety has never been through the roof. I would highly suggest asking for other options especially if you tend to already to be an anxious person. | I just wouldn't | F | 23 | 4 months .03? | 5/15/2020 | 1 | Pregnancy prevention | Crying all the time, anxiety, depression, nausea, shaking, violence, irritation, moodiness, feeling sick and so much more | 22 | 3 months | 4/12/2020 | 1 | For pcos | Depression, gastric problems , breast heavy and large , vommitting sensation ,palpitations , shivering in hands and leg , weakness, | Stopped in six days but still side effects r not tolerable , too much of bloating in stomach , increases heart rate | F | 37 | 6 days | 2/28/2020 | 4 | Heavy periods and acne | Mood swings, nausea (which got a lot better after a few months) | All in all, I am happy that I started taking Yasmin, it has helped a lot with my skin and now I also have fairly light and manageable periods. I have noticed some vaginal dryness and mood swings. But, in my case, I feel like the negative side effects are outweighed by the positive ones. However, I do not recommend this birth control to everyone, but if you understand the risks and side effects and need it for medical conditions -not only contraception than I think it is worth it. If you are looking for contraception I think there are better products with less risk. | F | 20 | 5 years 1X day | 2/9/2020 | 1 | Acne/PMDD | Fluid retention/weight gain, hair loss, thin/translucent skin, varicose veins and spider veins on feet, legs, bum, stomach, shoulders, lower back, SEVERE OCD and anxiety/panic disorder, IBS, migraines, vertigo. | Yasmin is the WORST. It cleared my skin 100% but I have never been so sick in my life- on the contrary I was always healthy despite mental illnesses and a heart condition that was dormant (AVNRT), before starting Yasmin. After 18 months on Yasmin I began to wean off. I am 23 and have had heart surgery last year, and about to go through vascular procedures to fix my veins. Constant daily migraines and vertigo, I’ve lost my job over mental health crises exacerbated by Yasmin, there is cellulite all over my legs and my skin is literally see-through. I HATE this drug, I love what it’s done for my skin but when I fully come off it’ll probably all come back anyway! The absolute WORST pill ever please do not take this! It has ruined my life and robbed me of my youth and health. I don’t even recognise myself anymore since taking it! | F | 23 | 3 years 30mcg/3mg | 11/24/2019 | 1 | My daughter took this | Extreme mood swings, physical violence in an otherwise mild and lovely girl. Prescribed for acne. Stopped as soon as the pill wore off. Thankfully we realised what was causing it in a very important academic year. DO NOT LET YOUR DAUGHTER TAKE THIS! | Take this OFF the market! It is poison. | F | 18 | 30 days | 11/17/2019 | 1 | Birth control & acne | NEVER EVER TAKE YASMIN. horrible BC pill. Cleared up spots but ruined my life. Anxiety, panic attacks, migraines, rapid heart rate, poor eyesight, depressed, crying all the time. Bloating. Paranoid. Dizziness, lightheaded, floaty feeling as if I’m walking in a cloud & im not part of world around me. | Every bad side effect you could imagine Yasmin gave me - I’m still getting over the anxiety it has caused. Never had one health problem before I started this. Wish I knew risks before taking. Choose another Birth control and do research. DONT TAKE YASMIN | F | 20 | 6 months | 11/22/2018 | 1 | Birth control | Nausea Sore stomach to touch Weird stomach noises Low mood Sensitive and teary Thrush | I went off this pill just under a year ago Just started it again and I am experiencing nausea really bad I feel like I just don’t want to deal with the world | F | 35 | 6 days | 5/2/2018 |
