I am glad to have read the post below me. From the majority o...

Although I don't want to scare you, I felt that I needed to share my story with you. I began taking Yasmin in 2004. I had noticed nothing but a little weight gain and occasional mood swing until just recently. About a month ago, I started snapping at my fiancé. Next, uncontrollable tears plagued me. One minute I was fine, and the next minute I was so overwhelmed with anxiety that I felt I couldn't go to work, get out of bed, or be around other people. I've even had suicidal thoughts, and although they were fleeting, they scared me terribly.

I didn't make the connection that Yasmin might be causing my problems until a friend of mine mentioned to me that she had been feeling the same way. I hadn't told anyone but my fiancé. That's when we started looking for similarities in our diets, stresses, etc. Yasmin is the only commonality. She visited her doctor today and planned to discuss her possible side effects. I haven't spoken with her yet, but I anticipate news tomorrow. My next appt. isn't until December, but I don't think I can go through this roller coaster anymore. If my doctor won't change my pill over the phone, I'm to the point of not taking anything.

Again, you may be fine for a long time, but be careful and aware of the possibilities.
