My daughter has been on Yasmin for a year and a half - it was prescribed for irregular periods and spotty skin. She is 15 and has had a year of nausea, leg cramps, hair loss, headaches, elevated heart rate,fatigue , irritation,angry outbursts ,dehydration severe moodiness and depression and lately- uncontrolled crying for no reason. She also sees black dots after exercising. She has gone from a happy girl who loved exercise to a grumpy couch potato! The doctor diagnosed it as a viral infection and suspected glandular fever - she missed a lot of school! Today she had a day from hell - fought with a teacher and cried for hours. She also takes Ritalin as she is ADD- so I thought it was that - I decided to look up Yasmin and am so glad I did! What a great website! She has just taken a multivitamin and mag.phos - NO MORE YASMIN!!! Any advice on what she can use for her skin? and irregular periods? A million thanks Caron

Caron,

I am so glad that I found this site as well. I thought that my problems (bad headaches, depression, couch potato) were related to my age (43) and the fact that I work full-time, am working on my Master's and I have two sons and a husband to worry about.
However, in answer to your question about the skin...I began to have trouble with my skin in my later thirties and I have been using two things that have done wonders, Pro-Activ and Bare Essentials (all mineral) make-up. If your daughter doesn't wear make-up obviously you don't want her to start, but the Pro-Activ has been a God send. I purchase all of these items from QVC. I hope this helps.

I just want to thank all of you for your responses. I have always been very fit and have never struggled with weight. I recently went on Yasmin and have never been this depressed in my life. Granted, I recently went through a break up, but it's been four months. I cry non stop, I have put on 10 pounds and have anxiety (problems breathing). I take yoga every day and eat very healthy organic foods. I don't smoke and walk everywhere. I am going off this pill today! I can't tell you all how important it is to voice your opinions. Speaking the truth is power.
