I have been on Yasmin for about four and a half years now. I just stopped taking it because my husband and I want to start having children. I have noticed some horrible side effects. I am SEVERELY bloated, irritated at everything, and even more depressed. I also have headaches all the time. My mind races and I can't control my thoughts. Has anyone else experienced this? I am so glad I found this site. I was really getting down on myself over the past few years because of my depression and anxiety. I even had to go on medication. I have never been like this before so I was so confused as to what was going on. Now I see that it may have been linked to Yasmin. My doctor always asked me how I was doing on it and I never made the correlation between Yasmin and my downward spiral of health. About four months ago I started to get migraines about everyday. I went to the doctor and they did an MRI on my brain. They found lumps in my brain. Not cancer but just lumps. They just come and go. And when they come I can tell because of the debilitating migraines. I wonder if someone else has had this? I don't know if there is a connection but I am not ever going to take Yasmin again in fear of the cause. My doctor said that BC can be linked to migraines. Thank you for making me feel that I am not alone. I should make my husband read the comments on this site so he can see it isn't all my fault that I get moody!!!

Helllooooo!!! I know it's been a while since you've posted! It's been a while since I have too and your post sound exactly what I experienced after taking yasmin. The anxiety and obsessive thoughts were the WORST! My question is how are you doing now? I'm sure you're offf the pilll - has your anxiety gotten any better? It's been about 8 months for me, and I've gotten sooooooo much better, but the anxiety can still get to me if I'm at all vulnerable. It really sucks and I just want ot go back to my old normal self before I took this pill.
Hope you are doing better!!!
