My doctor prescribed me Yasmin, but I wanted to do research before I began the pill. One of the reason's my doctor prescribed it to me was to 'regulate' my mood swings. This web site totally contradicts everything that the doctor had told me. I am terrified of taking this pill now. He would not prescribe me an anti-depreeant like Zoloft because I wanted to be on the pill anyways, and he said that Yasmin should work for pregnancy prevention as well as balance my hormones. I don't have any idea about what to do now. If there is anyone that has the same weight and body type as me with the same mild mood swings and iritablity as me (very mild)prior to beginning Yasmin and have been taking Yasmin for quite a while.....then please write with your experiences. It would really help me out in my decision. I know that everyone's bodies and hormone levels/balances are different...so most will have different effects from the same medication; but, for the most part, if Yasmin only creates negative side effects in everyone that I speak with then I will reconsider taking this medication. (I would also like any positive side effects of Yasmin as well) Thank you! * weight= 111 lbs.
