I was on Ortho Tri cyclen Lo for about a year. At the beginning it was great sex without condoms, larger breasts, less cramping but thena few months later I started to become massively depressed. Literally crying ever other day! My sex drive was nowhere to be found and it was definately affecting my relationship. Finally, I decided to throw in the towel and see how I felt if I stopped taking it. The first week was horrible, constant headaches etc. but then a few weeks later I became my normal self again. I felt happy and relaxed for the first time in a long time. Although my boyfriend and I are back to using condoms, I honestly couldn't be happier and my sex drive is through the roof. If you think you can go off BC I would highly recommend it. I feel so much better. Good luck.
Check out the side effects of Yasmin on this website. I was recently switched to it from ortho lo and I just called my doctor to get off of it after reading the 4,000 replies from people who have had really bad experiences with it. I would not recommend trying it unless you read about it first.
