Hi,

The given description of round and pink colored pill having an imprint of YS 2 which actually contains 0.2 mg seems to be of Clonidine. Clonidine is primarily used in the treatment of severe hypertension is also found to be useful in the treatment of painful neuralgias which you seem to be suffering from. Its common side effects include drowsiness, fatigue, hypotension, lethargy, sedated state, dry mouth and upper abdominal pain.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
