Recently, Yasmin problems have been increasingly reported. Serious side effects of Yasmin including blood clots, gallbladder disease, pancreatitis,
stroke, and heart attack have been associated with women using the birth control. Consumer groups and members of the medical community are questioning
Yasmin side effects and the increased risk for blood clots and strokes.
This thread is to alert all women who are on this pill about the serious side effects of this contraceptive. And bring awareness to women who are
thinking of starting on it. This pill wich is dubbed a 'miracle contaceptive' is all but that. In fact, it is exactly the opposite. Doctors push
this specific contaceptive as if it is going out of fasion, without informing women about the TRUE nature of this 'miracle drug' and the serious
side effects that are being reported. Countless women have informed their doctors and OBGYN about the side effects they are experiencing, but doctors
just ignore them refusing the possibility that it might be the pill.
Although there has been no official Yasmin recall by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Bayer AG has been notified that their
advertising campaigns were misleading regarding side effects. As a result, Bayer AG has been ordered to modify their ad campaigns. The pharmaceutical
company must also receive FDA approval before releasing new ad campaigns in the United States. This decision is the result of several class action
lawsuits being filed by those affected by undisclosed side effects. At least one of those lawsuits is a federal lawsuit that is alleging that these
Yasmin side effects are responsible for several deaths.

The lawsuit:
TextIf you or a loved one has suffered from any of the harmful side effects of Yaz such as blood clots, stroke or heart attack you may be entitled
to file a Yasmin lawsuit against the manufacturer. A lawyer with experience in birth control litigation can help evaluate your claim. Many women
around the United States have suffered from life-threatening Yasmin birth control side effects. Unfortunately, most people don’t know that they may
have important legal rights.
Below, the disclosed side effects in on the package insert.
• Numbness, weakness, or confusion. One may also experience a sinus-like headache that can also lead to speech, balance, and vision problems.
• Migraine headaches that may change in severity and pattern.
• Chest pain and nausea may suddenly develop.
• Breast lumps that suddenly appear, as do stomach pain, jaundice (skin or eyes become yellowish in color), or loss of appetite.
• Mood changes, depression, or changes in sleep pattern.
A doctor may discuss these symptoms with their patient before prescribing Yasmin. However, these side effects are also listed within the
documentation that accompanies each package of pills.
Below, the side effects NOT disclosed in the package insert.
But what has not been disclosed is that Yasmin has recently encountered problems that have been linked to even more serious side effects than what
are listed above. These side effects include:
•
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) – This is a blood clot within a deep vein, usually in the legs, the pelvis, and sometimes the
arms. This is a very painful condition that can lead to a pulmonary embolism (PE) and can ultimately cause death in some cases, if not cause further
painful complications.
•
Pulmonary embolism (PE) – This blockage of the pulmonary artery is usually a result of deep vein thrombosis. One will
experience complications when breathing, heart palpitations, and chest pain. If left untreated, PE can cause circulatory issues, collapse, and even
sudden death.
•
Stroke – Blood clots that may form as a result of using Yasmin can disrupt blood flow to the brain and cause a significant
loss in brain function. This clot can also be a result of DVT.
•
Heart attack – Again, blood clots can be a cause. However, other changes that occur within the body can result in changes in
the heart.
•
Death – If a problem is undetected or becomes so severe that treatment is unable to stabilize it, death can occur. Such as
in the case of a PE, death can be sudden without any warning whatsoever.

Countless women have reported loss of eyesight and blurry vision due to yasmin.
I have been on yasmin for about 5 years and stopped a week ago. This morning, I searched 'Yasmin side effects', and came across this site.From my
experience, I did not really take in account all of the violent mood swings and severe anxiety until the problems became physical. About a year ago I
experienced really scary bloating of my abdomen and the my stomach, as well as strange pain coming from what felt like my ovaries.The pain was so
excruciating I could not walk, sit or stand up. I went to the hospital and had some scans, ultrasounds and X-rays done. The doctors looked at me as if
I was crazy and told me that they could find nothing wrong.
In the space of a couple of months I gained about 10 pounds and went up 2 jean sizes. This alot for me as I am only 5'2 and small in frame. Pre-
Yasmin, i weighed about 47kgs and in the space of about three months I was at 55kgs. But that's not the point, I still have the bloated abdomen, and
my sex drive doesn't even exist! My poor bf.
After stopping for a week now I can slowly feel my sex drive creaping back, but the other side effcts might take a while to dissapear.
Here is a link to all the complaints of Yasmin.
