I have been taking Yasmin on and off for about a year and a half. I normally have very severe mood pms, and when I went off Yasmin, it got much, much worse. When I went back on Yasmin, it resolved again. I've never had any of the side effects described here, so I guess different women must have very individualized reactions to these things. I also was put on Ocella by my doctor last month, and had horrible side effects (crying for no reason, terrible anxiety, etc.). I'd much rather pay a little more for Yasmin than have the side effects from the supposed generic!
