Hi I have been taking yasmin for two and a half weeks and want to know if it is ok to just stop taking it now. I have been getting headaches and terrible irrational mood swings and really dont want to take it any longer. I want to know what to expect in the way of side effects- will i get worse headaches/get a psycho heavy period and become more depressed or anxious or even experience hairloss as i have read in other posts?
Hello! You will probably just start your period early. I have been on and off Yasmin for the past few years. I recently stopped again due to migraines. I get A typical ones....which are not painful just annoying due to the flashes and dizziness. BC pills are not the best choice for people with migraines, but I needed them for some heavy bleeding after the birth of my daughter. I can't say for sure, but since you haven't taken them for a long period of time...you will probably be OK. If you can stand to take the whole pack it my be in your best interest. It might really disrupt your hormones worse if you just quit mid-cycle. I know some would disagree, but in my opinion it might be a better choice and less likely to cause any different effects. I have been off Yasmin now for 3 weeks after taking them for the past 9 months. Nothing weird is happening. Though I do have a better attitude and no more dizzy spells! Good luck to you!
