My 14 year old daughter has been taking Yasmin for acne control for almost two months now, and has become a manic depressive. It was gradual, and hard to recognize until the past few weeks. It hit her hard, like a huge boulder. There is big, big stress in our house and we are all very frustrated. We have taken her off of it and her emotional roller coaster is slowing. This has been a nightmare for us, and we have a long recovery ahead. --My daughter is a sweet young lady, and is having a very difficult time with this. Please consider all options before taking birth control for acne.
