Yasmin and ditch

for the poor guys looking to this site for help...sorry! We're all to bald, bloated, ziti and angry to help you! If you love her, then u know this is not her. Stick it out and show her this site. She won't always be miss sunshine anyway, pill or no pill. Real life and real love are more bumps than smooth sailing. But when you look back together, and she realizes all the waves you rode with her and she with you...that's what makes it a relationship! One day she will want children, but will you be the man she wants to father her children??? Not if you ditch her when it counts!

I'm so glad I googled side effects of Yasmin and found this site. All of the sudden my mood swings for the past almost YEAR make sense. I started out fine. The pill was great, and I haven't had to worry about acne at all. Of course I gained a few pounds, but not too much. However, I'm a pre medical student trying to study for the MCAT this summer. I've been SO tired and drained and majorly depressed that I just can't seem to concentrate. I feel like I'm always crying over the stupidest stuff (AKA: no reason at ALL), and my grades are starting to suffer. Hopefully now that I've read this, I can stop taking this pill and see an improvement. It's just not worth the depression. I'm 22 right now, and until recently had never had a suicidal thought. I was starting to panic, because I couldn't identify the cause of my depression. I'm a good student, have lots of friends, and have the most amazing boyfriend and family. Life is good, I shouldn't feel this bad. Now that I have a clue as to what this may be, I can fix it.

oh I forgot to mention the extreme thirst! I also feel 'full' even though I haven't eaten and when I do eat it's even worse! It is very uncomfortable and makes me feel even more anxious. (It's lunch time and I'm terrified to eat.) I also have this feeling in the middle of my chest like there's air stuck in there so I try to burp for relief (That feeling makes me anxious too...) Good God this sucks! I broke down and got a packet of pills last night because I figured my symptoms were somehow related to being off of the Yasmin. (I was right!) I think I will ditch them and try to push through this - even though that's 50 bucks down the drain! I was off of bc pills for about four months or so but I have bad PMS and hoped that being on the pill would help. (They touted Yasmin as an answer to PMS!) The worst part is that I have Bipolar disorder, so I have to be very careful about what medications I take. I'm about to break down and call my doctor for some Klonopin because I feel like I'm going crazy and I need some relief!! (I'm at work right now, I have no clue how I'm even functioning..) I need to get some Slim fast shakes or something so I don't starve myself...

Sorry for two long posts, but I am so relieved to find this site. I wish there was something we could do: there are so many of us suffering and for what????

I have been on Yasmin for a few weeks now and have gotten so depressed and have also noticed weight gain and water retention. I notice these same side effects whenever I begin taking a birth control, but my doctor says I need to take them because I have something similar to endometriosis that causes uterine pain without them. I also have excruciating periods. I have taken Allese and Ortho Tri-Cycline, and another pill recently that I can't remember. Has anyone found a pill that does not make them gain weight and despair? I almost think dealing with the pain was better than this. Now every waking second is affected, not to mention broken sleep. I think I'm just going to ditch them. Any advice would be great.

I am so happy to see a website full of this info because the little book that this evil pill comes with doesn't realistically warn you about the potential side effects.
I've been on Yasmin one week. I am naseous. It reminds me of morning sickness during pregnancy.
The depression, mood swings, irritableness and just plain mental problems just started this week. My dh is begging me to stop the pill. I am socially withdrawn. TOTALLY NOT MYSELF ANYMORE..

on top of this, I feel panicky, nervous and irritable.

I had started a new diet and weight loss program the week before I started Yasmin and I've lost 10 lbs. I don't know if the pill is helping me achieve my goals faster.

I have a rapid heartbeat as I type this. I am ready to ditch this pill. The bitch control that this is supplying me with is resentment for my husband and vice versa. Good birth control --- put women in bad mood with no libido --- no sex -no pregnancy. Good formula!!!!!!!!
