I was put on Yasmin for perimenopausal symptoms. I took it for three years. For the first two I had no issues at all. Then I began having intense anxiety/panic issues, dizziness and worsening migraine headaches. My doctor advised me to get off of the pill due to a chance of stroke related to the migraines. Since then the anxiety has greatly improved but I am gaining weight like crazy even though I'm eating less. For the first four months after stopping the pill my migraines were horrible and occurred about half of the month. Now its starting to level off as my own hormones start kicking in. I am having my adrenals tested as my doctor feels there is an issue there but no direct link to Yazmin to this. I know the weight gain is related to me going off the pill. I wouldn't recommend this pill to anyone.

Calimom,
I just read your post and I too am on Yasmin and have been getting terrible migraines. I have suffered from migraines since I was about 17, but they seem to more consistent now that I am taking the pill. I am afraid to go off of it because I know that my body is going to go completely out of whack. Did you also feel extremely emotional? About everything and anything? I've had 4 migraines this week so far (2 on monday, 1 tuesday, 1 today) And I just broke down crying about it!!!
