Girls everywhere . I have one question and please you can reply in private or on here, whatever you like. Did any of the doctors that prescribed Yasmin to you ever give you a hormonal test? I have been going through really bad emotional mood swings for a white but did not have insurance so never really go myself checked out. So last month I went back to my home country and visited a gyno(where medicine is not so overpriced) who has been recommended to me by numerous people and he did a bunch of hormone tests on me concluded (by blood work) that I have a hormonal inbalance. Before the tests were done he obviously asked me a bunch of questions and I warned him that last time i had gone on a losely prescribed birth control(which is was suppose to be very low hormone dosage) I went practically nuts. After seeing my results and finding my inbalance he has prescribed Yasmin to me because apparently I have too much estrogen and other things I couldnt really understand because I am not a doctor but I think one of the things it does is to block some of these hormone from going to your brain. So My point after all this rambling is that ALL of our bodies are different and all birth controls are different and have different hormones which could drive a normal person insane with or without taking the pills SO my suggestion if you are having trouble with Yasmin is to get your hormone levels checked, Yasmin may be the devil to you but its probably because you dot need certain components that are in it or lack some. Get real tests done!

Yes. I have a hormonal imbalance consistent with PolyCystic Ovarian Syndrome. Yasmin is frequently prescribed for PCOS. I recently switched to Femcon Fe because of the mood swings caused by Yasmin.

ANY BIRTH CONTROL (INCLUDING YASMIN) MAKES ME CRAZY!!! THANK GODDDD I had a friend who had the same thing happen to her, and she pretty much made me get off, b/c she knew how I started acting was b/c of my birth control. It almost ruined my new marriage...I would cry because of anything and it was SO NOT ME. I was totally depressed all of a sudden. I got off and it was like some one turned ON the lights. I am totally back to normal,, and looking back I really was crazy and I couldn't have done anything about the way I was acting. I am SO happy now and my husband doesn't mind the "natural family planning" method b/c he has his normal confident wife back. I guess women do have a needy crybaby stigma.....they're all on birth control. If you're crying for no reason....EVERYDAY.....GET OFF BIRTH CONTROL!!!

I have had my hormones tested and they where fine, even though being on any kind of birth control makes me crazy! I just started Yasmine a week ago and am already noticing weird symptoms. Like the leg cramps, loss of appetite, dizziness, nausea, my acne has gotten much worse, blurry vision, and more anxiety. I am definitly going to stop taking this pill.

Hi. U r very right. I have also suffered from hirsutism(hormonal imbalance) and i was given yasmin. I have noticed a major change. Before i started this pill i was very moody, depressed, wud cry over every single thing possible, fussy, irritated, wud yell at every one, insecure. I started taking yasmin one month ago and after two weeks of being on it i noticed a big change in my personality, i have returned back to life( i m 21), i m happy, i laugh, i dun cry as often, i feel that my brain is working now, but the only bad part is that i feel that i m breaking out a bit but my dermatologist says its normal in first 6 months to break out, above all my body and facial hair have decreased. So, every one out there please first get ur hormones checked(the tests that are done during your mensus)esp tetestrone and free tetestrone.Cuz yasmin is basically for females with more estrogen but if u dun have estrogen and then u will take a pill to reduce it even more then obviously ur body will go insane...i hope this info is helpful for every one
