It is possible that the lack of horomones from the yasmin is ow causing your body and mind to react differently. If you can, I would suggest getting back on the pill; it seems to help you.

I am having exactly the same problems! I too am 23 (although 2 years younger than you currently are) and have been on the pill too since I was 16. I was started on a progesterone only pill that made me so ill. I was then put on a pill called Clare. I can't find the details. I was put on Yasmin when I was 18. I have other reasons to be depressed but I never was until I stopped taking the pill. I realise that anytime I stop taking Yasmin, I become really depressed. This includes breaks and the week of my period. I am currently not taking it as I need a hormone profile. I have heard that women can be depressed whilst taking it, but what about when they stop taking it? What happens then? I'd be interested in what happened to you.

Hi I am also 23 - had my birthday last week, and I have been on yasmin since I was 18. I decided to stop them after I spent my birthday with a nervous breakdown... I guess and hope it was caused by the pill.I took them at first for my bad skin-which wasn't that bad: normal zits but quite frequent. Hope I won't get the bad skin back and I also read online about hear loss, blood clotting, and thyroid problems(although stated that they must have been predisposed). So hope for the best and please post your response to stopping yasmin!

I have been on Yasmin since I was 21 years old and am now 25 years old. My hubby and I decided to try to have kids so I stopped taking the pills. About a week later, I started having raging mood swings. People were telling me that I was acting hormonal. My husband said I 'smelled' hormonal if that makes sense. I spotted a week later too for several days and couldn't tell if this is an early period or withdrawal bleeding. I just know that no matter how hard I try to contain my emotions, I can blow up one minute then be gleefully happy the next. I was only like this once a month on Yasmin. Hopefully this will wear off when my hormones get back in shape! Anybody experience this too? I know each woman is different.

I have been on the pill since I was 16 and on
yazmin since I was 18, I'm 25 and have just
come off it because I'm trying to fall pregnant.
I cry over stupid things and get so emotionally
worked up! Do you think it's because I stopped
the pill?
