Yasmin and apprehensive

Its been almost a year since I started taking Yasmin, at first it was ok and then about 4 months later I started developing these bizzare symptoms. I never thought that birthcontrol could provoke such side effects. I quit taking it a week ago and I already feel better. Being a newlywed we're not ready for children but, I'm apprehensive about getting on another birthcontrol because of my experience with Yasmin. These some of the side effects that I didn't know could be due to Yasmin:

Nightmares-almost everynight and disturbing
Incredible Fatigue-sleeping 7 hours is just not enough
Gas/Bloating-i felt like my chest was going to explode
Anxiety-my mind could never shut off
Unsociable-I used to go out every weekend, now I stay home
Depression
Loss of sex drive
Dizziness
Cramping
Decreased Hearing-i'm so tires of saying "what?"

I was really surprised to see so many women going through the same thing all because of Yasmin.

Wow! This forum is really informative and scary!

I have tried numerous pills, Marvelon, Ortho Tri-Cyclin, Diane, Alese and all have caused the same symptoms: Depression, lack of energy, emotional outburts, 10-15 pound weight gain and abdominal bloating to the point where people would ask me if I was pregnant (and the rest of my body would look porportional).

Its been 4 years since I have been on and off the pill and now at the age of 26 I am beginning to notice a chance in my hormones which I put facial hair on my chin and sideburns!

Being in a new relationship my doctor has prescribed Yasmin as birth control to help with facial hair and contraception.

I haven't started and am now apprehensive...does anyone have any suggestions or similar experiences with hair growth/reduction?
