I have been on Yasmin for about a year and have had NO SIDE EFFECTS at all! Actually after I start my period I can't wait to get back to my new pack of pills because I instantly lose the water bloat and food cravings once I start the new cycle again. I used to suffer from migraines and I can't even tell you when I had one last. No breast tenderness, until a couple days before my period of course. I still get the regular PMS symptoms but I've found that this pill actually has reduced them drastically. My PMS used to be so bad that everyone in my family, even extended family would send me brochures on that one drug they used to advertise for PMS that had the same active ingredient in it as Prozac. My PMS was so terrible I couldn't even stand myself
Now I may have a mild grouchy day or two every couple months, but no cramps anymore, and even pretty light and short periods. I can't even begin to explain to you how much better this pill has made my life. Writing this just reminds me of how I used to be, it's been so long I blocked it out of my head. I remember I even left a family trip the day after I got there because I couldn't stand being around anyone, and these are people that I love and love to be around.
