http://www.medications.com/effect/view/22427 I'm so happy I found this site. I've been thinking I'm crazy or just getting old for the last 3 years while on Yasmin. I started taking it at age 29 and almost immediately after started having mood swings, extreme irritability and depression. I had previ Fri, 20 Jul 2007 17:48:58 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/22427?item=819 I wanted to add also that this makes sense now that I think throught the physiology.

If your side effects started after taking Yasmin, there are so many other kinds of birth control, even tons of other homonal forms, not to mention the non-hormonal forms, that it just doesn't make sense to "put up with it" or http://www.medications.com/effect/view/22427?item=874 Thu, 26 Jul 2007 09:07:16 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/22427?item=901 I actually called my gyno because after taking my pill the next time I'd eat I would get sick...I've been taking them for just over a year so she swore it wasn't my pills.
