To the last posting...

OK, so I am thankful I found this site, but I am even more confused now than I was before. I am 31 and have been on Yasmin for over 1 year. In the past year I have noticed that I am a much more self-conscious, nervous person, and I suffer from extreme anxiety. Previously I was a very confident, social, outgoing person. I have very low energy and I seem to get tired too easily. I lack any sort of motivation & get depressed & cry at the silliest things (I can barely make it through an episode of Oprah or ER without welling up in tears!) I have also noticed a ridiculous amount of hair loss. I though my hair was thinning due to my age, but now I have actual bald spots! It recently dawned on my that my problems could be the result of the birth control pill, hence my discovery of this site.

After reading through this site I still can't tell if women are experiencing the negative efffects of anxiety, depression, hair loss, loss of libido, etc. while they are on Yasmin or after they stop taking the pill. After reading the postings on this site I am ready to quit Yasmin today, but I really am curious to know when most people have experienced these side effects the most. Also regarding weight gain & loss, again I can't tell if it occurs while on or off the pill. So far it hasn't been an issue for me, but what will happen when I stop?
