Hi Sisters, Yasmin is my first BCP (even though I'm in my mid-30s!). After taking this pill I have put myself, my family and my boyfriend of 9 months (who sadly has felt the effects more than anyone, I think) through Hell! I'm generally a happy, positive person but about 3 days after taking Yasmin I noticed I felt: *Depressed, *Anxious, *Moody, *Tired, *Insecure, Violent! (to a degree).. Generally lost a sense of myself! On the 5th day of taking it I thought of doing a search on the internet - WOW. It was shocking and sad but so reassuring that I wasn't alone! Then I went to a local doctor, with my boyfriend for support, with the aim of switching to another drug. The doctor told me I wasn't giving the drug a chance, as it's generally a "low-dose" contraceptive and to wait a couple of months at least before judging it.. Even saying "maybe there's an underlying reason for your behaviour".. "Would you like to see a psychiatrist?" I'm sorry, but after hearing the stories here I didn't want to wait. I even started to want to cry right then. Thank God my boyfriend cut in and said, look Doc, just prescribe another pill and in her next cycle she can give it a go. So she did! However, I thought I'd stick with Yasmin meanwhile. WELL that night I had a major episode, crying for no reason, getting violent with my boyfriend verbally and physically - It was horrible. The next morning (only a couple of days ago) I decided to stop taking Yasmin. Last night I started feeling a little less emotional, but still not myself. However, one other side effect I'm physically experiencing is I'm still bleeding - on my 9th day! This has never happened to me - My max. ever is 6 days. Then again, I've never taken the BC Pill before, so could happen with any of them.. Hope not! Well, all the best everyone - From my short experience with Yasmin I hope it gets barred from being prescribed soon.
