For Birth Control: I haven't even been on this for a month and I'm already looking into something different. My head is always hurting, I'm nauseous, tired and my anxiety is been off the charts. And I've been insanely emotional. The only good thing is that I'm not pregnant, but the symptoms are similar to pregnancy, so it still makes me think I'm pregnant. |
5.5
For Birth Control: I started taking the Yasmin pill two months ago because I saw how clear my friends skin got and because I had problems with acne but it wasn’t that severe. Within the first week of intake my mom could already see the difference in my skin and I got compliments from people which really did make me happy, until the 7 day break it was torturous endless anxiety, depression, confusion, mood swings I just wasn’t great company and it did have an effect on my mental health. The worst part is that you need help but from where will it come from because your mind is a war zone. Pretty hurts. For Birth Control: I've been taking a generic version of Yasmin for the past 4 months (almost 5). I've had issues with breakthrough bleeding before and Yasmin resolved that issue completely on the 2nd month. However, starting towards the end of month 2, I noticed that my hair has lost a lot of volume and I have bald spots in areas that were once full of growth (I have naturally thick curly hair that grows quickly). I've also heard of a lot of people losing an incredible amount of hair once going off Yasmin but for those people Yasmin was helpful in promoting hair growth. |

For Birth Control: Every body is different and I’m not saying this is a bad pill, it just didn’t work for me. I’m hoping this review can ease some other girls’ minds who are experiencing the same thing as me. I was put on this pill because my insurance no longer covered my usual brand Junel Fe and was told Larin was “the same thing, just different packaging.” 3-4 days into the pack, I started getting nauseous and anxious every day. I would gag at the smell of certain things and my breasts hurt. I was convinced I was pregnant, which made my anxiety skyrocket. Turns out Larin Fe did its job preventing pregnancy, but the side affects were terrible. I threw up for the first time since being on this pill today, and will be stopping immediately.
