Contraceptive pills yasmin

I am 21 and I had yasmin tablets for two months. Before having the pills, I have migraine, panic attack symptoms like sudden shortness of breath, zoning out sometimes. After taking the pills, I think I have more of the symptoms and recently I vomited due to nausea. Does that mean yasmin does not suit me? Should I change to another brand of contraceptive pill or should I stop consuming them?

Hi and thank you for asking us

Through the question and statement you gave on the above section, i completely understand your concern over this matter. For your information there a few side effects of taking birth control pill that you are taking such as:

  • nausea
  • headache
  • breast soreness
  • spotting in the first 2 months of taking the pill
  • irregular periods

Although I cannot determine if your symptoms worsen because of the medication, I encouraged you to go see a doctor at your nearby clinic to find the true cause of your condition as it is difficult for me to check your health status without proper consultation.

Get through that time of the month comfortably without leak.
