Hey everyone-
so this is my story and I would appreciate any comments. I am 21 and have been on Yasmin for a little over one year. I am SO happy I found this site!!!! First off, I had some anxiety issues before I took this pill and I dont think that it has had any affect on them. I do not have panic attacks anymore but I am in general an anxious person which never used to be. I am so angry and hard to please now and I was never like this! I snap at my boyfriend for everything and he has even told me I am a negative person and I have changed. I thought it was due to stress but I can just feel myself changing its awful.
Second, I notice I shed....ALOT. Hair sheds about 50-100 hairs a day but I just see my hair clumping in corners and all over my clothes. I cant tell if this is me being anxious but I grab my hair and I feel like it used to be thicker. I looked at pictures before the pill and it looked so beautiful and shiny now it is dull and flat.
I guess my majors issues are the hair and the awful mood swings and bitterness.
Question: Will this get better if I change pills?
