All I have to say is I have been off Yasmin for 2 months now and I have never felt better! During the 8 month period of being on Yasmin these were my side affects....Bloated all the time, restlessness, insomnia,irritable,crying ALL THE TIME for no reason, depression, increase appitite, major mood swings, suicidle thoughts,difficulty making decsions,panic attacks, anxiety, tender breasts,headaches my life was miserable and I had no idea Yasmin was the cause until i Stopped taking it and i felt like a million dollars!!!!! I stoppped taking it by accident i left my pack at home when I went on vacation and had no choice but to start over , Thank God I forgot them I would have never stopped taking them! Everything Happens for a Reason! And I will never take hormones again!
