Yasmin and side effects of depression

I'm a 25 year old female. On my second packet of Yasmin. My doctor put me on it for my skin and after having 2 years of just been natural I have noticed the side effects of depression, emotional out breaks, anxiety, excessive worry, nervous, spotting blood, heavy periods, paranoid, excess gas & gastro & headaches. Excessive eating then days of not feeling hungry at all. Which is not me at all. My great relationship with my boyfriend is suffering massively. I don't feel like my happy social self at all. This has happened over a holiday period when I was quite relaxed and had no real worries in my life. I have had depression and anxiety in my history and do battle with the odd bad day from time to time but this pill has made my anxiety become serve to the point of uncontrollable crying and extreme worry over anything I could find to worry about. Just before my period while on the inactive pills I experience extreme gastro. Headaches that don't seem to let up as well. Spend my hole holiday looking for Panadol. I realize this is a fairly new age pill and that it promises hardly any weight again, good skin and so on but I highly don't think its worth it. How much has it been trailed and tested? I rather have bad skin & even carry a few kilo's taking a pill that women have been taking since the 50's- or just be natural.

Hi everyone, I've been off Yaz for two weeks now and have had severe depression, emotional numbness, anxiety, muscle weakness, migraines, and on and on. The symptoms are actually getting worse in some ways since I went off the Yaz.

I'm hoping someone can tell me whether they've had any success in going on another birth control pill after Yasmin/Yaz in order to stabilize side-effects of depression and anxiety, which are what freaks me out the most. I've been off Yaz for two weeks now and if anything my side-effects have gotten worse. I'm seeing a doctor and trying to figure out what's going on, but in the meantime I am desperate to feel like myself again. I'd rather not go on anything else hormonal for the long-term, but I'm considering going back on an older, completely different prescription (Loestrin) which didn't cause me any psychological side-effects. One of my doctors says it should be fine, but the other doesn't want me to do it. Has anyone else felt an improvement in depression and anxiety from going onto a different pill prescription? Thanks for your help!!

I just went off of Jasmine which I was on for 3 months, and used like the pill seasonale where you don't get a period for three months. I hated the side effects of depression, weight loss, moodiness, etc... I went off of it and got a period within a day, but now my period was due five days ago, and I have not gotten it. I am not pregnant, nor do I feel like I am going to get a period. Has anyone else skipped a period while on this? I am a 42 year old healthy woman. Thanks.
