I've been taking yasmin for a little over a year and finally asked my dr. to switch me. While on Yasmin, my period would start a week early and last for 2 straight weeks, with the 2nd week flooding terribly. It cleared up my acne amazingly, but I too suffered from anxiety and paranoia while on it. I'm dealing with other side effects on this other one, so i may just ask my hubby to get snipped instead of this torture.
