Yasmin Side Effects - Birth Control Message Board

Hi everyone, I just started taking yasmin 2 months ago and iv have been having some difficulties with it. First it was vomiting or nasuea every morning almost continually. Then I started having muscle aches, trouble sleeping, dhiarrea, bad headachs and vaginal irritation as well as the vomiting. However, the scary one is major depression. I have never in my life experienced any type of depression but recently (while on yasmin) I have really been struggeling with it. I just recently moved away to school and thought that might have been the cause of it but when I looked up the side effects of yasmin I noticed deppression was one of them. I bought 3 months of the medication and Im hoping the symptoms will dissapear after a while. I was just wondering if anyone had experenced these sysmptoms, mainly depression, while on yasmin and then had them go away after a few months of use. Any feed back would be greatly appreciated! Thank-you.

i would say wait another month. it usually take about 3 month for your body to get used to them. if your continuing i would say stop and talk to your doctor and see if there is something else you can take

I had it for like the first 2 weeks. Any bc pill can cause it. It sounds like it is bad. I'd call your doctor.

Im on Yasmin too, I have been on it for a little over a year. After reading yout post it made me think, I have been so depressed for so long that I had finally went to the dr for depression, never thinking it could be the pill. Wow, thanks for your post, I thik I will have my birth control changed now. So, I guess the answer to your question, yes, I am depressed too now after taking this pill and I was nautious, but I started taking it right before bed and that fixed that problem. Maybe Yasmin isnt worth it.

I just started taking Yasmin! I know everyone is different, so I am hoping these side effects go away within 3 months. I am going to give it a try. I am sorry that you have had that side effect. I would definately call your doc.
