About six months after my daughter started taking yasmine. her moods changed, her personality changed, she was is a state of depression and was having panic attacks regularly.she lost an excessive amount of weight and was thinking about suicide. I asked her doctor and a gyn if the yasmine could possibly be causing these side effects. They both said no. So she started getting treatments for depression and anxiety and was put on medication. Paxil. This medication seemed to be helping at first but then she started having the same effects as before and she was still taking the yasmine. in the last 3 months she has been taking the birth control shot and has not taken yasmine or paxil and is now doing great. I'm really disappointed in her doctor's because a lot of her misery could have been avoided if we had been told this earlier. My daughter was on Yasmine for 2 years before I finally decide to check the side effects from the internet myself. Now she says she feels so much better and is back doing things with her friends again is having a fun teenage life. Never again will I let her use Yasmine!!!!

my daughter was on yasmin as well. competitive soccer player. when she started her period it didnt stop. she was having her period all the time. a soccer mom who is an obgyn gave us sample packs of yasmin and told us that bit would regulate her. i believe that was the beginning of her problems. of coarse i never went to any website and NEVER associated her symptoms with this pill. She dropped out of soccer last season due to EXTREME exhaustion fatigue heart palipitations shortness of breath and she seemed completely out of shape. this is someone who has run and played competitive soccer since she was 3. since she has had mono that wont go away and as a last ditch effort had her tonsils removed 2 weeks ago. i just stumbled upon this web site 2 days ago and am of coarse freeked out.
