I've been taking Yasmin for about 1 1/2 years. Before taking Yasmin, I never had any experience with depression or anxiety; however, a couple weeks after I started taking it I had SEVERE anxiety and mild depression. It was really bad and damaging to myself and my relationships. I cried daily and had panic attacks regularly. At the time, I didn't realize it was the pill and it eventually went away. Over the next year I had occasional mild depression which would last for weeks or a month at a time - during these times I was VERY moody and cried a lot. I was constantly upset at friends and family for silly reasons. Occasionally I also experienced occasional nausea.
I recently went off the pill for a month and instantly when I started taking it again I became slightly depressed, couldn't get enough sleep, and began getting angry at people for silly reasons. I didn't realize all these symptoms were related to the pill until now. I'm going to stop taking it today and thank others for posting their stories.
