I've been on yasmin since July 9th of this year. It seems to be working pretty good in controlling my periods. My periods are shorter in days but still a bit heavy, but its still good. I do however start getting a few cramps about two weeks before my period, but thats normal for me. My only problem is, is my mood swings. Now I have always been an emotional girl but things have gotten worse since being on the pill. I get into these horrible moods, were I don't really wanna be around anybody and I take things out on mostly my boyfriend and I feel so BAD about it that I start crying. Just the other night, I was with my boyfriend and his sister in the city and I had a horrible headache and cramps, and I just didn't wanna be around him and I kinda put a damper on the rest of the night. And then when things seem to get better, I just made things worse and went straight back to being mean and crying. My mom just thinks I was over tired as I was out everynight last week and out the whole weekend and got very little sleep. Plus I also get up at 6:30am Mon-Fri for work. I took yesterday off from work because I was going to be home too late Monday night, so I rested yesterday and I seem to be better today.
Is there anything I can do about my mood swings while on the pill? Like any vitamins that could help? I just hate to have to start over with a new birth control pill, because Yasmin is helping me alot with my periods, I'm just suffering with my moods.
Thanks!!! :angel:

Talk to your doctor about vitamin B6, to see what does she think. It helped me.

Thanks. Is that only available by a prescription or can I get that over the counter?

Also, give the pill some time. The first three months people see a lot of side effects that then disappear.

Yes I agree to wait a few months and see how you are then. Try taking a Vitamin B complex. You can buy these at drugstores or even the grocery store. Multivitamins usually have Vitamin B6, but the Vitamin B Complex will have much more of it. I have mood problems too but I had them even before the pill so they aren't related! I have heard that the Vitamin B6 will help if it is pill related. Good luck!

I know you might not want to switch pills, but I was having similar problems and it helped me :)

Definitely take the B complex when you're on the pill. Birth control pills deplete the B vitamins. I've had depression on the pill before and taking the B complex really helped me.
