yasmin and mood swings

I am taking Yasmin four years and I never had any problems with mood swings and other horrible things that are caused from hormonal pills (like sweating, depression, anger, irritability). So, from my experience, Yasmin is good, better than some other medications of this kind.

I am a 26 year old woman and i have been using the birth control pill yasmin for the past year and a half. Since then i have been experiencing mood swings and bouts of depression. I have also gone from 138 lbs to 120 lbs, i am 5'6 and 120lbs makes me look as though i am starving,i have very little appetite i have tried tonics to regain the weight but nothing seems to work i am not happy with my weight at all and how i feel. please help!

I feel hopeless so she mentioned that studies have shown the pill and also anxiety and depression meds can help the hormonal changes and regulate my moods and newly changing menstural cycle. I was so looking forward to turning 40 up until 5 months ago when my mood just shifted.

I have 3 boys...that's plenty for me. I have had my tubes tied and oblastion done. I don't need the pill for birth control I need it for the PMS (mood swings) but I don't want to gain weight, I am heavy enough. Any suggestions???

Other pills have a different chemical make-up, but more estrogen can cause more mood swings. Does anyone else take Lexapro and Lamictal in addition to a BC pill to suppress periods? Thank you!

Hello ladies, I am new to this forum. I was diagnosed with PCOS at the age of 19. I'll be 33 next month. I've suffered from severe acne, cysts, abnormal periods and major mood swings. I've had 3 laproscopies and I've been on Yasmin for over 8 years. I have to say, of the 5 or 6 different bc pills I've taken, I found Yasmin to be the best. It really curbed my acne a great deal. Also, I had no cysts. On some of the other bc pills, I still developed cystic ovaries.

For some reason I cannot get my period without being on birth control. I was on birth control for 8 years, and stopped it. I had no periods for a few months, felt very on edge, crying, moody, anxious etc. I started Tricyclen and got one period back, but had such severe anxiety on it that I started having to take Klonopin which I am still on now. I haven't had my period in two months.

I could be as happy as can be one min, and then somebody says the wrong thing to me my mood quickly jumps to being angry and mad. I tend to alwasy make people feel giulty about anything, and when I get mad at somebody I end of feeling guilty myself the next day and start to cry. Last night got mad at my bf, and when i got home I texted him saying something like "thanks for runing a great night" i only said that to make him feel guilty. Why do i do this??? Whats wrong with me?

Hi, I have been on the pill for roughly 9 months I have been expiriencing depression, self harm, insane frustration over simple things and severe mood swings. It has recently been affecting my life and my closest relationships very badly. I get so confused sometimes as to why I snap at my boyfriend and why I get so mad at me for no reason whatsoever he has been so patient with me. But enoughs enough I need help! What should I do?

Hi; I'm on my third month of Yasmin, which I mainly started for acne control. On the whole it's been pretty great. I have no mood swings, emotionally I've been stable and my acne is pretty much normalizing. Since starting Yasmin however, I've experienced two occurrences of vaginal irritation. Each occurrence has lasted 1-2 weeks, during which time I was extremely itchy, irritated and sensitive. Has anyone else experienced this?

The first 2 months were ok but my period was very light on month 2 and then my skin became horrible with big sore pimples that i never get - as well as horrible mood swings where i literally wanted to strangle someone i was so irritable. So now month 3 and day 6 into my inactive tablets - no period... I am a panic mechanic so have been researching high and low - seems many people have these problems on Marvelon 28.

hi, iv been taking yasmin for a few months now, and i was on a previous pill before that but had a bad reaction to it hence had to change. anyway last month i started bleeding before my week off, so i kept taking the pill on my week off because i didnt want to have a 'period' for 2 weeks. then this month on my week off, nothing happened, no bleeding at all.

i have heard of something where women suffer from horrble mood swings when their on their period. like WAY beyond normal mood swings.

t remember a lot of nausea but I remember cramping a lot and spotting a lot with horrible mood swings. Maybe you should switch back to whatever the doctor gave you in place of Yasmin if it worked well for you.

Hi there, I'm 19 and was on Lavalin, or something, since I was 16. I was on and off it, during that time my mood swings we're also on and off. Felt like a roller coaster! I spoke to my naturopath and she said a lot of hormonal birth controls cause depression, lack of sex drive, fainting and other symptoms, in severer cases, heart attacks, strokes and so on. I am trying Yasmin and feel a change in my moods not to mention the nausea, dizziness and blurred vision.. It's quite scary.

I have had that physicians that don't understand PCOS often say certain things won't help. Yasmin, a diet of lean protein, minimal complex carbs and minimal fruit is working for me. My elevated testosterone level and mood swings are finding much comfort with Yasmin. Don't give up until you find someone that will listen! Believe me you will be happy that you did.

Oh and of course, within a month or so of being back on Yasmin, my skin completely cleared up, and more importantly my irrational mood swings have not been seen again.

All my bf does is work and then come home and play video games all the time. I am working but got my hrs severely cut after the holidays so i am home alone a lot. It gives my mind way too much time to think! Im afraid to end up raising this baby alone. Just really need to talk to someone.

I have been extremely emotional lately. It *****. Every time someone says something or does something, it irritates the crap out of me. I'm taking it out on my friends, coworker, my coworkers and especially my boyfriend, the father of my child. It's getting old. It's not like me to be like this. I'm usually chipper, now its more getting irritated and/or start cruing. Anyone else feel like this and does anyone have any advice?

m 9w2d and was wondering if any other mummies to be are experiencing very high mood swings I seem to get very angry really quickly and I assume every remark said is stupid. How can I fix this problem? And btw it's only with my husband most of the time.

Let me introduce my self. I am 43 yo, married for 6 years and I had my second ovary removed at age 37, after already having my uterus and 1st ovary removed in 1998 and 2000. (I also had a lung transplant 8 years ago). I had all the typical symptoms of menopause even though mine was surgical menopause. My ongoing problem is severe mood swings. About 5 years ago I found myself actually hysterical and didn't know what to do.

I am a 23 years old woman and I have been struggling with mood changes what seems forever. I've never felt "normal", whatever this means. I have never reacted to some sorts of situations the same way other people do. Since I can remember everything starts pretty much like this: I am full of energy, felling extremely well about myself and I usually get a load of things to be done that is above heavy.

If he laughs then he understands its just your hormones i know how you feel . I yell at my bf and he just smiles and starts rubbing my hair and i shut up and everything is okay lol .

You are most def not alone! I sat at my desk at work and cried ALL day yesterday. I'm only 5 weeks and I hope that it gets better b/c I'm going through a lot of tissue. I just joined this site yesterday and I have found the the women on here are so supportive and full of good advice which has helped me a lot in the past 24hrs. Whenever I feel like I'm about to cry or get upset, I just log on and reach out to someone who knows what I'm going through (another pregnant woman).

I just recently found out i was pregnant, and my boyfriend and i couldnt be happier. But I am always moody towards him, and i am never in the mood to be touched. I am scared if i keep this up, I will push him away.He is already keeping his distance. Does anyone have any good tips for me? I feel awful and I want to be able to control it. Is it possiable that maybe he is just not understanding? and i am over looking everything? Thank You!

i try and tell my boyfriend that i am going through a lot of changes and i cannot control my emotions some times, he doesn't believe me and says that i need to just deal with it better, how do i cope with these wild emotions and how he treats it all like a joke no matter what I say?

Haha omg. We talk about everything from the beginning about being pregnant. And all week he just, drives me up the wall! And I'm really sarcastic and mean, it just flows out.. then two seconds later I'm like "oh my god baby I'm really sorry I didn't mean it I love you" hahaha! He understands but I feel bad... hoorrmoonnesss.

I am six weeks and i am crying and sad over small stuff. Been trying to potty train my two yr old with not much luck. I think that might be part of it. Is this normal to have so early and what can i do to help work through it?? Also will this mean that i will have postpartum after the baby comes? I was fine last time during and after.

I feel bad cuz my mood swings r terrible, and the mood that is most prominent is bad....my poor hubby got his head bit off this morning along with my son and my friend from church....anyone else moody?
