What Causes Severe Mood Swings After Taking Yasmin Pill?

Hello I am desperately after some advice on contraceptive Yasmin! I was on this pill about 3 years ago (for about 3 years.) I had no problem with it. Infact the doctor switched me to it initially after another I had tried made me moody etc. Two weeks ago I have gone back to Yasmin as since stopping I have never been able to get my skin acne free despite trying just about everything. I remember when I was on Yasmin before my skin was lovely. At the moment I am very keen on applying for a job for which my skin needs to be flawless! HOWEVER, in the last two weeks I have experienced nausea, constantly tired, numerous headaches, and now I seem to be coming on again after just being on last week (I started Yasmin on the first day of my period).. It s all getting a bit much... My question is, do these side affects last a long time normally? Should I percerveire? Is this just my body adjusting to being back on this pill? Obviously it was some time ago that I last began Yasmin so I can t remember weather I suffered all this before or not - but it the main Yasmin was great for me. I am desperate to get my skin clear and really thought this was the key.. Is it worth sticking with?

Hello,

The current issue of headache, nausea and general myalgia are in concern with the side effect of Yasmin, which can happen anytime though it was not the case during previous use. Kindly stop further dose intake and discuss the management guidelines with your treating physician.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
