hello. i am currently on the birth control pill yasmin. i have been on it for almost a year and i originally went on it to get rid of acne, stop period pain and lighter periods.
i have gotten rid of my acne, no longer have any period pain and i am having lighter, quicker periods. this part of the pill i am pleased with.
but i also have gained some weight (not major but around 5-8 kilos). i admit i don't have the best diet but i exercise regularly and I'm constantly trying to eat healthy. i thought this was my only side effect but when i looked up side effects for yasmin i have seen alot of people become depressed, stressed and have panic attacks which i do have but never linked with the pill.
i am desperate to lose some weight and hopefully become less depressed, stressed and have less regular panic attacks but I'm afraid if i go off the pill my acne, period pain and heavy periods will come back which i do not want to happen. can someone please help me with what to do? or recommend another birth control brand that might work for me???
