Thanks fetish! You are absolutely right, drugs affect different people differently. I'm sure Yasmin is fine for some people although the ad that says "the FDA would like us to clarify something..." is a little freaky :-) Actually, the FDA is looking very closely at Yasmin right now for a number of reasons and their are tons of lawsuits being filed. Bayer has some problems with other drugs too.

The scariest thing is that I went to a psychiatrist one time and they wanted to prescribe me anti-depressants, but they never questioned me about my use of Yasmin. I thought about it but then decided to wait because anti-depressants are really serious (and Im not diminishing their purpose at all, it's that it's a big decision) Being off it now, and feeling fine, its scary to think that I would have used another drug to counteract a drug. Interesting to me that Bayer makes Yasmin and one of the leading anti-depressants out there...just sayin'.

Missy - Glad to hear Im not alone! How were the side effects of coming off it for you? It's been absolutely miserable for me. Worth it, but miserable. :-) I agree, excercise makes PMS better for sure :-) so does sex!
