This drug seriously needs to be pulled! its not worth ending a relationship over, i almost well was single because of it...gave me severe mood swings, depressed, made be feel not only sick but i couldnt eat anything, felt like someone was stomping on my chest, its all bull, and no one should even take this...pretty sad that every website i have been to about this drug, just says SYMPTOMS: Nausea, Headache, Dizziness, and Vomiting.
ADA needs to pull it because it does NOT do that job its supposed to. tha mood swings started off very mellow, then after 3-4 days of taking it, its coming to my attention it IS NOT me.....I was getting severely depressed when got into a fight wit my girlfriend. and i almost jumped out fo tha car at 70MPH because of this. Regardless of wut anyone says i am not right in tha head and wut not, i am so...just these so called Antibiotics messed wit my head. i erge everyone to boycott this use of this so called drug DOXYCYCLINE HYCLATE 100MG Caplets. If you wanna continue to be screwed wit, i then suggest you to stay on them for some tha symptoms are better for over half they are bad. My opinion....they are like a Anti-Depressant. If you take them and you are NOT depressed, moody, or have some kind of prob and when you start taking them you do have those probs, but if you do have those probs then you wont have tha bad probs is psychology and kinda hard to explain on wut i mean gonna have to figure it all out for your selfs. Because right now still coming clean from theese, i stopped taking them 2 days ago and still in my system a bit. so yeah i hope didn't bug anyone

I have been on Yasmin almost 2 years. I finished a pack last week and do not plan on starting a new one. I googled "side effects of Yasmin" in a hope to see if there was a chance someone out there had noticed any facial hair growth since taking it. What I found was this sight that has given me a ray of hope. I left my husband 2-3 months after starting the Yasmin. As I assumed was normal, I experienced depression, mood swings, everything you might expect after ending a relationship you expected to last forever. I have been seeing a counselor for the past 8 months, because my mental state was not improving. Since then, I have had improvement, but the insane mood swings haven't stopped, especially the week before my period. I had attributed this to getting older (I'm 32) and was just pushing through, knowing I'd swing back to "normal" eventually. I am hoping so much that they will stop and I will get totally back to my normal self. Before starting Yasmin the emotional end of my PMS consisted of one day, right before my period started, of bitchiness. Since I started my period at 14, this has been it. No sobbing, no suicidal thoughts, no wanting to sleep all day. I would give anything to get that one day back and lose all of these other days of insanity.
I've also just recently noticed some slight hair growth along my hairline down to my jaw. Which is how I got to this sight in the first place. Funny how I put up with mood swings for almost 2 years, but some extra hair on my face has me running to the computer in a panic!! :) Additionally, I've experienced shortness of breath, and in the past couple of months, leg cramps. I have never had a cramp in my calf in my life until these past couple of months. I don't know if Yasmin is the cause for any of these things, but it'll be interesting to see if they persist. As for sleeping, I have noticed some issues, but also attributed that to the divorce.

Well, I just had my mirena IUD taken out last week. I had wanted to take it out pretty much since I got it in a year and a half ago. It was the second one that I had. The first I got put in when I was 17 due to a heavy period, and I could not use birth control because I suffered with depression on it. At that time I did not associate changes in myself with the IUD because they happened gradually. I lost all sexual appetite which I had believed was because I was ending a relationship at the time and I was uninterested. I began getting acne, which worsened in the colder months, so I did not associate it with the IUD. I had mood swings and was tired a lot. I associated this with stress from being a teenager and in being in school. Two and half years into having my first IUD I met my husband. My sex drive had come back, my my acne continued, and the pimple would get really inflamed and tender. My psoriasis never seemed to fully clear up either. My tiredness and moods continued, and I also became extremely emotional often. I just thought that this is who I was because I had got the IUD so young!

With the new one my acne persisted, I lost my sex drive again and I now would be dry all the time, whether I was turned on or not. I just couldn't stop but thinking that it was the IUD. So i got in taken out finally after we got married. I didn't want to be a pregnant bride. It has been a few weeks, and my acne has pretty much cleared up, I am wet all the time, and I want to have sex. My psoriasis is also much much much better. I still feel tired sometimes, but I hope that will ease as well.
If it doesn't feel right to you, get it taken out. What is the point of being in a birth control if you don't want to have sex anyways!!! good luck everyone.
