"I started taking Yasmin just over 2 years ago. It was the first kind of "pill" I had ever been on, but prior to taking Yasmin, I had "Implanon" (the match-stick like implant in your arm). The Implanon was one of the worst experiences I've ever had - I was completely mental - manic depressive, anxious, irritable and unable to control my emotions. When I got the Implanon removed, I was a completely different person. A few months later I was given Yasmin. I did notice a bit of weight gain, an increase in desire for food (even when not actually hungry) and became bit of an emotional softy (in a nice way), but on the plus side, my skin became crystal clear and my periods are regular and not heavy, and no "bad" side effects. I recommend it!"
