Yasmin pill - Combined Pill

Always make sure you have a proper face to face appointment with your GP or specialist. Due to Covid-19 my GP and the specialist doctor at my local hospital refused to see me for over a year, due to this they put me on several medications. This was to try and help me as i suffer from PCOS. i’ve taken Yasmin for just over a month and i feel awful, I constantly feel nauseous, i have pains in my legs, it has caused me to develop major headaches and migraines which i never had before, i’m constantly tired and have no energy after doing the smallest tasks, loss of appetite, constant stomach and back pain, made me constipated to the point where i had not been to the toilet for almost a week and i was crying in pain, i have now stopped taking this pill because I don’t think it’s right to be given anything without physically seeing a GP or professional face to face plus i’m tired of being ill all the time.
