So glad I found this forum....!!! As I read these stories it honestly feels like I am reading something I wrote.  I feel the same as all of you guys.  I got put on Yaz when I was 15 for acne.  Cleared my skin completely but I gained a solid 20 pounds. Also started struggling with extreme moodiness that I chalked up to being a teenager.  My doctor switched me to Alesse when I was 18 or so, he was worried about blood clots. I dropped 20 pounds, lost some hair, and my skin exploded in acne.  Still struggled with depression but a lot of that came from insecurity about my awful skin.  Eventually I couldnt take the acne anymore, went back on Yaz when I was 21, gained the weight back but my skin was perfect so I was happy for a while... until I noticed my mood seemed to be progressively getting worse. I was crying almost daily, I felt jealous and obssessive about my fiance (for no reason!), clingy, needy, moody, sensitive. Eventually Yaz messed up my periods.  After having my period for three straight weeks my doctor put me on Yasmin. Been on Yasmin for a more than a year now and I am the most depressed I have ever been. I have thought about self harm and suicide even though I have a wonderful life and I am planning my wedding to the love of my life. I feel so stressed out, have no motivation, and I feel incredibly, indescribably lonely, even when I am with loved ones. I am at the end of a pack right now and I am not going to continue the next pack, at least for three months.  Acne has got to be better than wanting to kill myself. I hope this works...
