I started taking Yasmin a year ago to help control my acne which ...

I've been taking Yasmin for 5 months and am wondering if any of the changes I've noticed are really caused by it. Yasmin was recommended to me because of the low hormone dosage it has. I got married 6 months ago and since then I have noticed that I have become very dry during intercourse. I did think that was a symptom of the pill since I had never had that problem but just used lubricants. I have had other changes but I am not sure if they're related to the pill (although from reading the posts I'm afraid they are). I have gained about 15 lbs, always feel exhausted, I rarely sleep through the night, my libido has decreased significantly, and I am always thirsty (particularly at night). I have always had headaches and had migraines but during the past 5 months the headaches have increased a lot as well as migraines lasting a day or two. My relationship is great and would have no other causes for the loss of libido and the depression-like symptoms I am having. I was particularly worried about the loss of libido and I couldn't understand why it was happening... and this may be the answer.

I actually got on looking for others who have experienced depression and irritability! I was off it for a while (3 mon) but my acne came back and the lack of sex was starting to irritate my b/f, so I went back on and have since experienced unreasonable mood swings and severe depression. My skin looks great though.
