Oh wow I am so happy to have found this site. In the last few months I have been feeling lower and lower in myself, this together with my complete and utter loss of sex drive is just getting beyond a joke. My boyfriend thinks it's him and he goes on and on about whether I still want to be with him etc etc and it's just making me feel worse so it's a terrible vicious circle. I've been thinking about whether it was my pill for a few months now, I changed to Yasmin about a year ago now after my previous pill was giving me terrible mood swings and uncontrollable rage. I did notice a slight improvement in my moods at the very beginning but this has now led to anxiety, heavy breakthrough bleeding, irritability and a general feeling of low self worth which gets worse and worse by the day.. great for Christmas time! I've now resolved to stop taking this pill and any pill for that matter. I'm going to see how I get on with no medical birth control and try to get my head and hopefully my sex drive back to normal. I'm so glad to have found this and that it's not just me. I would not recommend this to ANYONE so if you are reading this to get an idea on whether to opt for this then I would say no.

You have just described me down to the last detail.I used bE afraid to tell anyone that i felt "rage".It literally only dawned on me today that Yasmin was to blame.I had just finished my 7 pill free days and had been 3 days into a new pack and suffice to say,i felt as though i was going "mad".I really did.I was just so anxious,i was actually afraid.And the mood swings were just insane.The feeling of anger and rage was very scary and today i actually went online to look up "anxiety disorders" as i had no clue what was going on and it was in an article on a mental health website that the suggestion of the oral contraceptive pill was first referred to.And it all just fell into place.
I must say it does give me such relief to know that this "may" be the source of my problems.
Enough is enough now!!!!!
