Recently i got switched from Apri (generic for Yasmin) to Balziva. My new gyno said it would be more effective with the other medications (Lamictal and Zoloft) and would help with pms symptoms. For the past few months that I've been on Balziva I've been very depressed and moody. I have two periods a month, which are very painful, breast pains, headaches, nausea, insomnia and frequent break outs, i thought all of which were normal with the switch. Then i started researching Balziva and other closely related pills and all the results found to be very similar.. all with side effects of depression. If you have depression or any similar disorder, reconsider when taking this medication, I am thinking of switching myself, it's nice to get this information from other women in the same situation.. because I sure didn't get it from my doctor. Of course I can't pin point this straight to this exact drug, but it all started once i got on Balziva, and after reading so many other womens comments it makes a lot more sense, mostly with why I have been so down. I hope this helps anyone else looking for answers

I started taking Yasminelle (its dosage is much lower than Yasmin's) about 5-6 months ago; the side-effects I endured during the first two months keep coming back as soon as I start a new packet. Side effects such as nausea during the first week of taking the pills, continuous breast pain. These side effects are completely making me seem like a total freak when I am out- I am always complaining about how sick I feel and I also can't drink because as a result i feel queasy and I'd have to stop. Does any one else feel the same way on Yasminelle particularly? i have been searching online for discussions regarding Yasminelle but I have found none at all...anyone else on Yasminelle and do you consider it a good form of birth control?

I had Mirena inserted about 9 months ago, and I have experienced severe breast pains. I have periods that last as long as 23 days. This is a nightmare. Some nights I cannot hardly sleep because of the soreness of my breast. I do not advise anyone to take this form of contraceptive. I am going to have it removed next month. I am through with birth control!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
