I have been on Yasmin for almost a year now and I love it! The only side effects for me have been a clearer complexion and firmer boobs. I had some tendency towards headaches around the third and fourth month, and also am inclined to pee more, but that's it. As far as anxiety goes -- I feel that the pill actually HELPS me to stay on an 'even keel.' I say this as someone who was treated for depression continually throughout high school and college. It has done a LOT to help abate very icky seasonal affectation symptoms that I've had for years.
I am surprised by what I'm reading here but all I can say is that -- each pill effects women differently. I sypathsize with people who might have had ill effects but, if there's a class action suit, I sure as HECK hope it doesn't push the pill off the market, cause I LOVE it.
