"after years of suffering with pmdd i persuaded my gp to let me try yasmin as a last ditch attempt at trying to have a normal life on birth control but to help the severity of my periods. i agree with some of the comments on here about mood swings but i also think that is to do with my own level of hormones and that if you stick with it after a while this pill does work!! i have found my happy medium which is 10mg of citalopram (ad) and this pill combined.... i feel happy and myself all the time and although maybe a tiny bit irritable prior to my period ... generally a lot happier!! go yasmin! :)"
