I have taken Yasmin for 5 years (right after it was approved in the US) and I found out about it on this site. I feel incredible. In fact, I have asked my OB if I could take it 3 months in a row and then cycle. That has worked really well for me too. It seems when I am off the pill I have pretty severe PMS complete with migraine headaches so to stop that, taking it several months in a row has worked. I also take Metformin ER in the morning 1500 mgs. I have kept my weight off very well. I take the Yasmin at night before bed. I notice it makes me sleepy. (Not sure why, maybe the hormone surge) Anyway, this combination has worked very well for me and I finally feel like a normal person again. The best part is that I can think clearly again. Before starting meds I thought I was losing my mind.
