I wasn't going to post, because what I have to offer if slightly off topic, but since fetish broached the topic, I thought I'd have a go. Sorry if i offend anyone.

Most women have PMS, but if your PMS is really bad (and getting worse) and you happen to be on Yaz, Yasmin or Ocella (the generic), that might be why. I was on Yasmin/Ocella for three years, when I started experience really bad symptoms, like the following:

Around the time of month, suddenly having extreme PMS (crying, yelling, picking fights for no reason, severe depression)


Mild to moderate depression (crying, anxiety) on a regular basis

Insomnia


Lack of energy and lack of sex drive/inability to get wet (which ladies, nothing sux more than that!)


Sudden heart palpitations, loss of breath

By accident I stopped taking Yasmin a year ago (just forgot to fill a prescription) and within a few weeks I started feeling like myself. I didn't realize I even had a problem until I felt normal and my behavior started to dawn on me.

Anyway, just thought that might be helpful info for some ladies out there. There are great support groups for dealing with the side effects of coming off Yasmin, because the side effects are really hard to deal with after a month or so of coming off of the drug.
