Letting you know symptoms and conditions

Hi there!
I have to say, I am so happy that I have found this website. I feel like I'm crazy!! I have been taking Yasmin for a little over a year or so and within the past two month I have noticed significant stress, anxiety, depression (which I have NEVER experienced in my life). Although, over the past year I have noticed I have been tired, overall low energy, and snappy for no reason. Really high strung. I never knew why.

I do have to ask though, those of you who have stopped taking, or switched from Yasmin...have you noticed a shift in mood for the better? Have you noticed a difference in depression? I am planning to make an appointment for my OB/GYN tomorrow to get off this pill. I just want some hope that things will indeed get better, you know??

hi everyone.
just a quick update. i have been off yasmin since june.this month my period came after 30 days which means that for the last 3 months i have had a regular cycle..woo hoo! i had virtually no mid cycle anxiety and virtually no anxiety before my period this month. although i still get quite nasty cycstic spots just before my period and my skin gets a bit greasy i am generally feeling much better. i am not gloating i am just letting you know that there is hope that life can be good again. today i went to visit my grandmother who lives a 1.5 hour car journey away then i took my 2 girls to the cinema.these are 2 things i would not have been able to do this time last year and i did them today with very little anxiety! hang in there ladies with a little bit of faith in yourself and your body you can have your life back.
just one annoying thing though,has any one else gained loads of weight after stopping yasmin? i gained all the weight back that i lost on yasmin with interest! i seem to gain weight really really easily now and carry weight differently to how i did before.it is now more on my belly and my thighs and bum!
