"i have previously been on yasmin for around 8 years. before this, i was taking dianette. yes, the yasmin pill was an effective treatment for controlling my acne, but i didn&#039;t realise whilst taking it that i was actually suffering from side effects. these included a huge appetite, constant fatigue, migraines, mild depression, anxiety, mood swings, and the rare side effect of excessive sweating. i have since come off the pill now for 4 months and all these issues have slowly resolved, although the depression and anxiety increased for 2 months after coming off. my acne has returned with vengeance at the age of 28 and my hair has thinned a lot because of all the hormonal changes. don&#039;t take it! you will probably regret it in the long run!"
