I have only been on Yasmin for 2 weeks and it has been the worst 2 weeks of my life. Very shortly after commencing the pill I noticed a range of horrible symptoms including: no sex drive (I used to require sex 1-2 times a day), severe depression, irritability, nastiness and rage bordering on psychosis (I went from a calm gentle person to almost losing my job after abusing my boss for no reason and also seriously damaged several other working relationships), bad acne, agonizingly painful breasts - went from DD to F cup!, nausea, headaches, dizziness, confusion. I made the link to the pill and stopped taking it today. Thank goodness that my very sweet understanding boyfriend has put up with me through all this. I am still patching things up with my boss but may never undue the damage to my career caused as a result of my near psychotic reaction to this pill. I will never ever try this pill again. In fact, the experience has made me scared to try ANY pill. My doctor really pushed this pill on me when I approached him for birth control - he said it was the best one ever with few side effects and gave me several packets for free. As far as I'm concerned they can't even give it away. I have thrown the rest in the bin.
