What did you think of Yasmin contraceptive pill?

[Lollibert]

I’ve been prescribed yasmin it’s my first time ever taking contraceptives but after reading the reviews im so scared as it’s made a lot of people depressed there are a few comments where people were fine but most were talking about horrible mood swings, hair loss, heavier periods, anger issues crippling anxiety etc I’ve never taken any contraceptive before and I already suffer with anxiety and depression I’m really worried this will make it worse should I still give Yasmin a chance?

I've been taking Yasmin for a couple of years. I have not had any problems. I take it continuously (as in no 7 day break), to control pms, and it works amazingly well. It has improved my life immensely and I intend to stay on it for as long as I possibly can. If you do get any side effects, they should reduce/disappear after about 3 months of taking it consistently.

Also I should add... I think this pill has actually improved my mental health by stabilising my hormones.
