"i&#039;m 20 years old, i&#039;ve been on yasmin for 3 years, and have experienced horrible side effects. it&#039;s great for acne, weight loss and actual birth control, but my mood swings are crazy. before starting this pill, i was a very happy, positive person. after taking this pill i&#039;ve become crazy, anxious, depressed, upset and stressed out over the tiniest things (causing major fights with my boyfriend) at all points in my cycle. this is a major side effect and shouldn&#039;t be ignored, it has completely changed my personality and i won&#039;t be taking it again after this month is over."
