Ladies,
I posted nearly a year ago on this board about all the side effects and symptoms I was having. I emailed my gyno in NY (I reside in CA) and the woman called me at 2 in the morning and told me to stop taking it because it sounded like I was going to have a stroke.
They keep telling us that Yasmin is this new wonder drug, but I will never take any form of BC ever again. I know that there are other options out there, but that was literal HELL. I am a stable, responsible, healthy person with few problems containing my emotions, but when on this drug, the hormones and moodswings nearly caused me to commit suicide.
Please, Ladies, don't take this drug. It's not worth your life. I'm not being dramatic. From what I've experienced and what I've read, I'm positive that this new "miracle" drug is capable of killing us.

Depression!
-- By cnsimonson | Reply | Private Message meI've been on Yasmin for 2 months and the whole time I've just had this lingering depression. I've cried more times in the last 2 months than I have in my entire life...including when I was a baby. I told my bf I wanted to break up because I couldn't bear putting him through my behavioral vacillations. I thought I was crazy because I would go into these horrible moods where I would just cry and I had no idea what was wrong with me. I felt separated from the world and there was nothing I could do. I've just been 'off'.
I thought of going on some sort of medication to help with my depression because I can't life like this. Then It occurred to me that Yasmin might be contributing to this, so I looked it up online. I'm so glad I did. I really hope this is why I feel like this. I never wanted to commit suicide, but at times I just didn't care to live.
Anyway, I went off a few days ago. I feel better already.
We'll see what happens.
Good luck ladies!
