I've been on some form of birth control pill since I was 14, im now 26. I originally went on it for heavy periods and severe acne but I was also incredibly moody and a fairly horrible teenager to be fair! The pill immediately levelled out my moods, made me much calmer, cleared up my skin and settled my painful, heavy periods considerably. I was on dianette for most of this time but after moving city my new doctor said I had been on it way too long and changed my pill to Yasmin, which I've taken for the past 2 years. I didn't really notice any change at all from dianette, it seemed to work just as great but the past year or so I've slowly developed some mild depression. I feel completely demotivated, no confidence, constant guild and stuck in the past and persistent negative thinking etc. Generally I just feel emotionally sedated and dulled and my mind feels foggy and slow. I'm wondering if this change could be down to Yasmin and Id love to hear of anyone has had any success stories in terms of improving their mood coming off it? Im prepared for the acne breakouts and heavy periods that may come if it means I could feel better mentally...although I'm scared that things could go the other way and my depression could get worse!
