This was on the Daily Mail home page this morning. Unfortunately the woman is still blind.

Makes me sick to stomach. We have been very lucky to be here with freak symptoms that come and go. Ever wonder cases of young lives lost due to depression which may be link to these pills unrecorded.

And now there is "BeYaz"...

The sad thing is that it's all about the money. As long as they are turning a profit (they made billions from Yaz), they will continue on. We can do our part to help educate other women to stay off the pill and hopefully we can help create a better awareness.

Did you notice the Daily Mail stopped taking comments for this? Everybody is scared of the truth. What kind of a world do we live in?

When I found out that Yasmin should never be prescribed to someone who has suffered from depression in the past (which I had when I was younger), I confronted my doctor and he basically told me that the advice given to them is that the risk of unwanted pregnancies out weighs the risk of depression (and I'm guessing other side effects too). Unfortunately I think it all comes down to money, both from the government and the drugs companies. If the risks had been explained to me I would have used alternative birth control methods and would never of had to suffer! It makes me so angry!
