So I've been on this birth control pill for years, and suddenly I hear that it can cause "emotional lability." Thanks for the heads-up, pdoc AND gyn...I go online to find patient reviews of this one, and find HUNDREDS of reviews saying Yasmin made them nuts, esp MOOD SWINGS and ANXIETY...just what I need, right? And no one thought to mention this to me when they put me on it? And my pdoc hasn't considered the fact that it might be making me WORSE in the three years I've been taking it? People say to stop taking it right away, their moods returned to normal immediately...obviously MINE won't return to normal (ha!), but the Yasmin could be making me even crazier than I am. Is anyone out there on it, have you been on it, what do you know about it?
And once again, when are doctors gong to start talking to each other and realizing the BRAIN is attached to the REST of the body??
Thanks...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
that in mind, that is probably why yasmin may be interferring with your other mood altering meds. you may want to consider talking with your docs to switching to the other "regular" birth control pills.
