I am happy to have found this site. I have been on Yasmin I believe about 3 years. I am educated in the insurance industry, so I should have known better. I really thought I was going crazy. My mood swings have been horrible for a long time. I am snap at my family just saying everyday things. I sound angry even when I am not. I know I am doing this, but can not control it. I get terrible headaches, muscle stiffness, nausea, exhaustion, and I have gained weight. I also have issues with severe anxiety and wake up in a panic sweating at times. I got hot flashes out of the blue. I have come to the conclusion I need to be off of this pill immediately and I believe that I will start to feel better. I will keep you posted.

good luck. I will be going off also at the end of my pack. I am looking for some advice on Vitiams or supplements to tak to help with the transition back to the happy person I used to be before Yasmin.

KSomer,

I am amazed after reading your posting. I too have been on Yasmin for 3 or 4 years. It's only in the last 2 years that my symptoms became intrusive. I also became extremely moody and argumentative with my husband and children. I was also experiencing severe headaches related to the beginning of my period, and I truly feel I was in a state of depression. I've been to my GYN and my general doctor, and both blew off my symptoms saying I was fine. After stopping the birth control 2 months ago, I've noticed the panic attacks, headaches, and depressed thoughts have almost all disappeared. If I hadn't overheard a conversation last night attributing these side effects to Yasmin, I'd never have known. I am so relieved to know why it was all there and that I've stopped the cause!

Hello everyone
Its great to hear everyone's post and know that im not alone. I went on Dianne 35 (equivalent to Yasmin) about 6 weeks ago and i feel that ive help out as long as I can. Ive been crying for no reason, just feel like sleeping all the time - although i dont always fall asleep. I snap for no reason or for really stupid things. I used to have a tonne of motivation and started my own business last year. Now i dont even feel like answering the phone. After reading these posts i think its definately the pill. I was feeling fine 6 weeks ago. My partner is really sick of my behaviour and I dont think my relationship or career can handle it anymore. Im not taking another pill. Does anyone have any idea on how long it will take to feel good again?
