Dretine/Yasmin: bleeding

Help! I am prescribed Dretine/Yasmin contraceptive bill to control my PMT. GP advised to take 3 week and stop for FOUR days or take non-stop.

If I do either of these I bleed and have craps during the cycle. If I take it the traditional way with a 7 day break I don't bleed for more than 5 days of the break BUT my PMT symptoms start to come back.

I cannot have these symptoms as they make me aggressive, depressed and full of rage, so much so I scare myself. I have tried other pills in the past and found them to have a negative effect on my mental health.

Before I go back to the GP does anyone have any advise?

I'm done having children so I just want the whole lot ripped out at this point!

Are you sure it’s PMT? Are these symptoms new or have you have you always had them? How old are you?
Are you only having those symptom for a few days a month?
You will have to return to your GP and tell him/her that this pill is not working for you Flowers.
