> Is Yasmin new? I couldn't find it in the PDR or latest supplement to it. Do you know what potential it has to shut down the ovaries in comparison to OrthoPrefest or some of the other bcs that a have come out in the last couple of years? The anti-anxiety prospect sounds good, but more fatigue is something I don't need.
> Here's to balance,Chris,
Yes, Yasmin is new. It came out in July of 2001. There seems to be very little info on Yasmin, itself. Alot of the data is just the usually bcp literature with a tiny paragragh about Yasmin tacked on. I can't remember the exaxt website, but I do have the link to monogragh. My thoughts are a mess tonight, and I can't seem to sting to gether a decent sentence...But I have been on Yasmin for two weeks, and the fatigue is going away. I feel almost back to normal, which is a disappointment to me. I really liked feeling like I could nap! It beats feeling so anxious that I have to be doing something all the time. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.
For your situation, all I would say is, give it a try. It's not like the shot or IUD where it is somewhat "permanent" after you chose to try it. With Yasmin, if you take a pill and don't like how you feel, you can always quit it, and keep on with your search. Just know Yasmin is being marketed to treat pms, and they are shooting for the label to say Yasmin treats pmdd. So it's definitely worth a shot. Have you gone to google.com and down a search on "Yasmin and depression"? You must do the two together, or you will get alot of hits about a women in the middle east named Yasmin.
Anyway! Go to http://www.yasmin-us.com/PI/YasminPI.htm first, and see what you think.
take care
