| 1 | Mid cycle spotting | Nausea. Excessive Fatigue (sleeping 16+ hours/day). Brain fog. Aggressiveness. Depression. Migraines. Breast tenderness. Dizziness. Joint pain. Suicidal thoughts. | Each day has gotten worse with the side effects. I was so happy and full of life before starting this. Now I can't stand the sight of my children and have zero will to do anything. I would rather go back to spotting for the entirety of my cycle, before feeling like this ever again. | F | 27 | 10 days .3mg 1X day | 6/18/2015 | 1 | birth control | Apsalute sh#t!!!

And doctors still have no cure. There for u have to keep drinking water and HOPING it will go I have had mine for 2 months still not gone there for do not take yazmine my friends have had same problem to! | Shit | F | 17 | 1 months | 5/25/2015 | 4 | acne birth control | None other than no sex drive | I went on Yasmin for my skin and now for birth control My skin has cleared however I have no sex drive at all I am worried about all the articles I've read about Yasmin so I think I might stop the pill next week but all in all I have Had NO side effectso | F | 22 | 1 years | 5/21/2015 | 1 | I was actually taking zarah | Zarah caused: panic attacks, anxiety, fatigue, suicidality, muscle fatigue, headaches, blurred vision, hazy vision, sense of being out of it, sense of not being well, paranoid, hypochondriac, crying, mood swings, loss of appetite, loss of sex drive, tingling and numbness in hands, feet, arms. And more | I had been on ocella for many years and then was switched over to zarah. Everything was fine at first but then after about a month I had my first panic attack ever. Few weeks later I had another one. Few days later I had another. And then proceeded to have either panic attacks or bad anxiety every day following. Went to doctor and had blood tests and ekg. All came back normal. I decided it was the pills after I looked up the side effects. I was 1 week into my third month and stopped. Had my period for 10 days during which was extremely moody and crying all the time with anxiety but not as bad. Was pretty good for 2 weeks with mild anxiety. Now it's been 3.5 weeks since I stopped the pill and I don't know if I'm supposed to get my period soon but I've had cramps, weird vision problems, dizziness, headaches everyday, crying, tingling, muscle fatigue and just tired all of the time. From what I have ready it has taken many people months to recover. It has almost been a month for me and things were pretty good and I was getting back to myself. This is a bump in the road and I hope it goes away soon. I will continue to recover. You are not alone and you are not crazy. I know it feels like you are all alone when this stuff is going on but believe me. You aren't. You will get better. I will never take this pill and probably no pill ever again. It has seriously messed me and my hormones up and I have never felt worse than this experience. I would not recommend Zarah to anyone. It's no | F | 25 | 2 months | 4/29/2015 | 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 | 2 | Birth control | Headaches for the first few days, mild nausea for the first week, ongoing breast tenderness, spotting every day, dryness and pain after sex lasting up to 3 days. | For me it's just not worth it - I never experienced this discomfort before taking yasmin and now I don't want to have sex with my partner due to the pain afterwards. I'll be stopping before I've finished the first pack as the side effects are getting worse rather than better. | F | 23 | 3 weeks | 4/14/2015 | 1 | birth control | acne, weight gain, awful mood swings, depression, bloating, migraines, decrease in sex drive | I understand that this pill works differently for everyone, but it was absolutely not for me at all. It started out absolutely fine. For the first 3 weeks I had no weight gain, no headaches, I felt great but after the first pack (and the first break, which was shorter) everything fell apart. I know I sound incredibly dramatic but honestly I can say that this pill was really awful for me. I argued with my boyfriend constantly over absolutely everything, I was miserable, I gained weight, I had migraines all the time, completely lost all desire to have sex, I just didn't feel like myself at all. I'm usually a really happy and energetic person, so for me, it was something I really struggled with. My boyfriend begged me to come off it, so I have and its only been 5 days since coming off it and I already feel a lot better. Desperate to try and find something which works for me. I tried Cerazette before and loved it, but wasn't happy with not having any breaks...the quest for the perfect pill continues! :) | F | 21 | 2 months 30 1X day | 4/8/2015 | 2 | contraception and pos | panic attacks depression dizziness feeling spaced out slight weight gain and gall stones | the dizziness and spaced out feeling was when i stopped taking yasmin the side effects of coming off this drug are horrifying constant feeling your going to die sweats and lack of sleep due to sweating. | F | 30 | 2 years 1X day | 3/30/2015 | 1 | Birth control | I didn't notice any side effects for a few years. Then I started experiencing extreme fatigue, hair loss, depression, anxiety, mood swings. I attributed it to stress in my life at that time. However when the stressful situation had eased I still experienced these symptoms. I Started to think I was just a moody miserable person. Luckily, I went off birth control and I feel like a new person. | Don't take it... | F | 31 | 10 years | 3/17/2015 | 2 | Birth Control | Went on Yasmin approximately 4 months after giving birth to my son. After a month i became unusually depressed, had no interest in sex and was generally tired all the time. I thought it may have been post partum depression but i had none of these symptoms after the birth of my baby. It was when I started take in the pills that I had these feelings. I have been off the pill for 4 days now. I am having headaches every evening since then. (I rarely get headaches). I hope it is just making it way out of my system. I have decided to try Mirena instead. I will wait a month or so before doing so. | F | 35 | 6 months | 3/13/2015 | 1 | irregular cycle | Depression, anxiety | Depression, crying every day for three months , No liss for life, Nothing interested me, felt my whole life out of control, Left the pill for a few days will never take it ever again hope to recover soon | F | 27 | 4 months | 3/11/2015 | 1 | Endometriosis | Weight gain, aches pains, severe fatigue, feeling constantly hungry, headaches, uti. | I would avoid this pill, at my next app I am requesting a change as i've only now realised that the reason im feeling so tired, gaining weight etc is due to this awful tablet!! AVOID!!!! | F | 29 | 6 months 30 | 1/27/2015 | 1 | Birth control | Being tired , cramps, not being able to breathe, panic attack,feeling Nauseas all the time | Dont use it | F | 18 | 2 days | 1/24/2015 | 1 | Birth control, acne, menstrual pain | Boobs growing, chills, horrible stomach pain and diarrherrea, constipation, mood swings, suicidality, aggression, vomiting | Horrible stomach pain started almost a year later of using Yasmin.

Skin only OK - not great! | F | 30 | 1 years 1X day | 1/17/2015 | 5 | regulate periods, contraceptive | Lost a bit of weight in first 2 months, but is now very steady. | Shorter period, less period pain, period arrives same time every month. Started this pill while in a relationship and it seemed to kill my sex drive, however have since entered into a new relationship with very high libido and no sexual difficulties. | F | 21 | 3 years | 12/26/2014 | 5 | Birth comtrol | Well being loss of water retention happy no moods | This is amazing I was on femodene for 5 year and was put on an ssri for panick attacks then went on microgynom and swelled up like I was pregnant and now I feel so much better and my libido is retuning after 5 years of zero libido | F | 1 weeks | 12/20/2014 | 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 | 1 | Birth control | Hot flashes, migraine headaches, depression, nervous breakdown, anxiety, paranoia, dry skin, Utis and some vaginal dryness. | Don't take it.
