Yasmin and then i thought

I went on yasmin about 2 years ago, right before I started my current relationship. Everything in my relationship was perfect, we never fought, it was just amazing. About 4 months into the relationship I started to pick fights with him, about everything possible. I was becoming depressed, insecure, and my anxiety level is at a constant high....still, I didn't realize any of this until this month. About 3 months ago I started getting my migrains back before and during my period...this month, my cramps came back. I kicked my boyfriend as hard as I could last week, and I couldn't tell you why, I immidiately started crying and saying sorry, and hugging him. This pill, I've come to realize, has almost completely ruined my life. It's almost ended my wonderful relationship with the love of my life several times. This month was the final straw, I thought maybe I had pmdd, I looked up the symptoms and realized that was not what I had, then I thought to look up side effects of my birth control, and I found this site...many of the girls mention twitching, headaches, crazy mood swings, treating their spouses awful, sleeping all the time and still feeling tired. I have been suffering from all these symptoms for a long time now. I am stopping this pill IMMIDIATELY! It has ruined far too much of my life. I'm so glad I found this website, I now know I'm not crazy. Now I can go back to being the happy, fun, and friendly girl I really am!

hum... i'm sorry to read all these messages...
i hope all of you are feeling better in a near future, if you're not already!

someone there asked if there's anything good to take...
i actually ended up on this page because i was considering taking yasmin.
i'm from brazil, i used to take another pill before, called diane
it really made my skin look good

then i switched to nuvaring
i've been using nuvaring for a long time, 3 or 4 years, can't remember
since they first started to sell it
it's pretty good
i never had any problems

but i do get some acne eventually, and then i thought about looking for a pill like the one i used before
but apparently it may not a good idea to quit something that works great

i hope this helps, at least as a different suggestion

good luck :)

Wow. After reading these entries I am almost certain what I am feeling is the Yasmin affecting my body. I just went on this pill a week ago. Since then I thought I have had the flu. I have had diarrhea and extreme fatigue. I am constantly dizzy and nauseous. I just had a baby and I have to say I felt like I was pregnant again, though it would have to have been immaculate conception. My husband insists I wait another week, but I don't think I can take this any longer. I just do not feel like myself.

I have been so depressed, crying for no reason, tired, my boobs are overflowing in my bra's and my sex drive no longer exists! I had no idea why I was feeling this way, then I thought to do a little research on Yasmin and I found this website. I am about to start my 3rd week on Yasmin....I have felt better the week before my period (which is why I am on Yasmin). My doctor recomended me to start taking it to control my terrible mood swings and cramping. I called to tell her about how I feel and she is trying to convince me to stay on it for another 2 months, that my body is just adjusting to it. I want to quit, but I am curious to see if it really helps my PMS symptoms......if it doesn't I am done with this crap! I am miserable and making everyone who around me miserable. I would rather have cramps and mood swings 3 or 4 days rather than feeling the way I have the past 2 weeks..
