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!!!
