I love Yasmin! I've been taking it for over a year now (I'm 31). I have little to no pms, super light periods, perfect skin, and no weight gain from taking this. My only complaints would be that I do get mild, dull headaches in the temple areas of my head more often than I ever remember. They're not bad though, and they don't ever last long. They're just annoying. Also, I noticed my period doesn't show up til day 4 of the placebo pill, which can be a little nerve wracking.
My 3 close friends, 2 sisters and a sister in law of mine all take Yasmin and none of us have ever had any major complaints about it. :)

I started taking Yasmin about 1 month ago and seem to be experiencing the same side effects as many of you all. I know that many birth control pills can have side effects but Yasmin has been particularly bad for me. I have been getting dull headaches pretty frequently that just seem to linger for long periods of time. I have been experiencing nausea as well that I couldn't seem to figure out. The worst side effect, however, has been the MOOD SWINGS. My poor, loving (patient!) boyfriend! He's the one that has to take the worst of it. I find myself picking fights for no reason and getting really upset over nothing at all. I will go from happy to tears in split seconds. I know these emotions and sudden mood changes are not typical of my behavior yet I can't seem to control it. I feel like I have split personalities sometimes. I am getting off this pill as soon as possible and I suggest anyone with these same problems do the same! I can't wait to feel like myself again and feel in balance. I want to be happy like the person I was before I starting taking Yasmin.
