I am very glad to have found this page. I have only been on Yasmin for 5 days. I read the information packet in full before I started taking them and I thought it seemed fine. Just like all the others they have put me on. But I got on here tonight searching for an answer to the depression I felt I've been experiencing the past two days. I have also been spotting the whole time along with the abdominal pain and sore/tight throat, headaches, and sinus congestion. Is all this really from this medicine? I've only been taking it for five days. Should I stop taking it? I don't know what to do anymore. I already have anxiety problems and I certainly don't want to take anything that is going to make that any worse. I am very glad to have found all of you and would really value your opinions. I take the pill to be regular and have less painful periods. I am 30, single, and not interested, so pregnancy prevention is not even an issue. Everything I've read here certainly doesn't make me feel like this is the best idea. I just think I may have already tried every other type of pill. And I think my doctor is really getting tired of me saying "these aren't working either". What should I do? --Elizabeth--

If you have a good doctor, then they will understand the "not working" thing, however they will tell you to give it 3 months to see it it "evens out".

I love Yasmin, it helps with my PMDD. BEFORE yasmin, I had panic attacks, migraines, anxiety, trouble sleeping (turns outI have neurological problems) so I can't attribute those things to the pill. I had them before I started on it.

If you feel that it's that bad, call your doctor, stop taking it, get a new perscription for something else and start taking it AFTER your next period.
