I'm 28 and was on Yasmin for about 3 months and it was the worst birth control pill ever. I gained 15lbs, lost a lot of hair and had the worst mood swings ever, i cried all the time and would yell at my kids for no reason, im sorry but no birth control is worth that. I hope this helps someone

Hi I had very similar symptoms....I have only been on Yasmin for 3 months. I have put on 5kg for no reason and slight hair loss and its only now that i have realised that it could be from taking yasmin. How long since you have stopped the pill? I am stopping it today. I really hope that weight drops off for me and my hair grows back fuller again. Did this happen for you?

(kateowilly) I have been off yasmin for about 3 weeks now. I dont have the mood swings anymore and when i brush my hair im not getting clumps in my brush like i use to, i imagine it takes a while to get it out of your system. I've been put on Mircette and so far so good :) i would talk to your doctor asap and find a pill thats right for you. I believe Yasmin needs to be taken off the market. Take care and let me know how things turn out!
