Yasmin and Caffeine? - Birth Control Message Board

Havalina · 03-30-2005, 09:29 AM

I'm in my third month of using Yasmin after 9 years on ortho tri cyclen. I have no complaints so far other than that I can't drink caffeinated coffee anymore without getting serious shakes. I don't think it could be anything else besides the Yasmin because I'm not taking anything else. Has anyone else had similar problems on this prescription? Thanks!

Actually I've been going around to lots of boards and it seems that the pill can cause axiety and jitters in some and add caffiene to that, well you got one hell of a mix

I guess it's just the pill mixed with my usual anxiety. I'm usually pretty jumpy anyway, but I was curious if anyone else had similar problems.

Oh yeah had the same prob, now I'm off I notice that caffeinated stuff doesn't have the same effect on me.

I was on Yasmin for a little over 1 month and had to stop it. It made me tired, chest pains, numbness in my neck and also had the shakes and anxiety.

Why did you go off of OTC after 9 years???
